It's EFFICIENT, but it's the opposite of elegant. If you looked at the code you would have no idea what it is doing or meant to do. Elegant code should be simple, readable, and apply some leverage to make a difficult problem more

Absolutely true. There are also a large number of projects - maybe majority? - that never reach that level of complexity; and the "no/low code" solution (like Excel, Access, etc.) enabled a non-engineer to solve a business pr

Pedestrians have the right of way in the situations I mentioned, but not when "jaywalking." You're not wrong about the system heavily favoring driver's convenience; and when drivers break the law (even if they injure som

In the US, you can generally only cross at crosswalks (for sections of roads that have crosswalks,) and only when the signal is in your favor if there is a signal. Beyond that it decays into a bunch of state and local laws. You can get a ti

I agree with the author re: returning success on retries; it lets you automate the retry process. I work in mobile games; because someone might play in a tunnel or bad network area, I need to make sure that every request is retry-able. To d

Not "re-balancing" per se - but investing a fixed amount at regular intervals (either from a lump sum, or as you earn it.)

I don't see the connection you are making. The DA elected two weeks ago can hardly have caused this issue. Putting enforcement priority on burglary and vandalism (the problems mentioned in the article) instead of the issues you listed

Do you mean 3D animation? It looks like the interface returns 2D coordinates for the joints, not 3D coordinates; so it can't directly create 3D animation data. It was also very jumpy in my browser, so it would require smoothing to be u

The app just gets a "Yes, this is the owner of this device" or a "No, this is not the owner of this device." What can Netflix do with that? It's not tied to an account.
