Used with flatMap, it's a terribly good way of doing something to everything over an arbitrary object and all it's deep values. I do something like this every month or so. It's one of those tricks you use a lot once you'

It was a response to an immense drought in Ethiopia (largely the result of deforestation). They had years with almost no rain. It really wasn't misleading with respect to the situation at the time.

FlatMap is often most useful when recursing, in my experience.

Everything isn't us and them, but bear in mind we're not talking about things people want here, we're talking about things people need.

The fact that poor people spend more money on things than rich people, once you include replacing them when they wear out. Or do you think that it's just that the poor people are held down? (Cue stories about people working their way o

It's particularly weird, because the people who're talking about Tesla using tape are the ones saying "it's heat shrink tape, guys, nothing to see here". Whereas the people reporting the tape are saying it's st

It turns out that you're nearly always using less water, soap and electricity if you wash using a dishwasher rather than by hand. https://www.treehugger.com/kitchen-design/built-in-dishwashe...

The last two times I took a first aid course I was told to do this _specifically_ to override the bystander effect. Both times, the instructor named and explained the bystander effect, and said the best way to overcome it was to assign task

There's really no good reason for anybody to be asking people for their credit card number any more. 3-D Secure exists and all the major schemes have implementations. Given two merchants, I'll choose the one that uses a credit car

I cut my finger quite badly a couple of weeks ago. Being unable to just switch my phone on as I picked it up was a whole world of annoying. It's surprising just how quickly we take these things for granted.

It would certainly help in some cases, and act as a delay in some others. It pretty much wouldn't stop a targeted attack since they quite probably don't really care about how much CPU use each request is using, and you literally h

That's just bizarre. And so far removed from my experience I'm genuinely surprised. I've never had a gradle build that didn't manage to remember I've only just compiled the code and haven't changed any of it. I

Gradle is so much better than maven it's not even funny. Every time I check out a project in maven these days, I flinch.

I loved the incremental compile/watch tests stuff myself. It's been a while, but I do miss having all my tests run every time I save a file. But I do accept that sbt is not everybody's cup of tea.

I'm not clear why people are leaping directly from "no traditional sidewall" to "no sidewall". It seems pretty likely that there will be a lightweight, porous, tough and possibly flexible sidewall just to keep rocks

If the policy is "if you offer one or more authentication providers, you must include Apple sign-in", while it's still a little harsh, I think it's much more defendable and reasonable.

by swish_bob 7y ago
Yes, but while I can choose to log in with facebook, or google, or whatever, it appears that Apple are mandating that app providers use the Apple sign-in, which means app users no longer get to choose. Unless I'm misunderstanding what

It's not a concocted scenario, the cli command in question explicitly has a property that defaults to preventing it from doing what it should do, unless you override the property. Explicitly because it's so destructive when you
