You know what was absolutely adorable back in the 90s? Me. Just look at that bow, that flannel, that innocent glow that can only exist before adulting smacks it right off your face.
Yep, there really isn’t anything else quite like perusing old pics to make you feel so absolutely past your prime – unless, of course, you’re the Internet. (Or Jeff Bezos, but that’s another matter entirely.)
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has long been known as a leader in the fight to cure childhood cancer. And now it’s being recognized as another type of leader – in digital innovation.
With the launch of the St. Jude Cloud, cancer researchers can not only store their data in one central location, making it accessible to others around the globe, but they can also analyze it right on the spot using groundbreaking technology, an initiative that’s earned the organization the coveted Digital Edge 50 Award for 2019.
Arrow Functions help programmers to write declarative code with JavaScript. While everyone may have different feelings about this addition to Javascript/ES6, whatever camp you belong to you, you will have to deal with variations of Arrow Functions.
Theoretically, you don’t need to learn to use arrow functions at all. You can do everything with good old "function" that you have been doing since you started writing JavaScript code. It could be advantageous in some cases, but you can get away without using them. But even if you don’t use it right now, you might end up using arrow functions in the future or you might have to maintain code that was written by someone who loved using arrow functions.
Sorting a Stream instance is straightforward and involves just a single API method call — achieving the opposite is not that easy.
In this article, we’ll see how to shuffle a Stream in Java both eagerly and lazily using Stream Collectors factories and custom Spliterators.
If you are a tester, then you have likely had a discussion about automated and manual testing. This is nothing new, and lots of people have different views around this. Whether you are on a big team and already established an automation framework or you are a small team new to automation, it is always necessary to keep this balance right in order to get maximum efficiency.
Automation testing has the benefits of increasing efficiency, getting faster regressions, and thus contributing to timely project deliveries. It also removes the execution of repetitive test cases or regression cases manually and saves a tester’s time.
This post is the continuation of a previous blog on functional programming and implementing safety restrictions on object orientation to focus on the resulting functional frameworks. So, just to recap, here are some important functional programming concepts. Functional programming:
dates back to lambda calculus (i.e. 1930’s before computers even really existed)
Often the adoption of DevOps goes hand-in-hand with the application of Lean practices. Lean practices are focused on value creation for the end customer with minimal waste and processes. When thinking of Lean practices, small nimble startups come to mind, but consider the behemoth Amazon.

The Internet can certainly feel like a cold, dark place, especially for those of us who can’t help but stay mired in it day in and day out. I’m one of those people, and while I’d like to think I do a pretty good job keeping above the fray, it can be really hard when you just happen to stumble across pieces like this horrifying (and incredibly important) revelation in The Verge. (It turns out, being a professional Facebook moderator and having to witness the worst of the worst things people do to each other on a daily basis is extremely caustic for your health.)
But thankfully, we also have journalists like The Ringer’s Victor Luckerson, who did some work to uncover those times over the last decade when we weren’t trying to kill each other – times when we were actually able to put aside our differences and celebrate the things that connect us. And this isn’t just some dude sharing his favorite viral memes; it’s actually backed by UVM research.
In this series, I’m discussing the phases of a project encompassing a non-trivial set of Ethereum smart contracts and the React/Redux application that communicates with them. The project, called In-App Pro Shop, aims to help Ethereum developers easily support in-app purchases, and it was written over the last half of 2018 as a way of learning about the Ethereum development ecosystem.
This project revealed many aspects of the power and constraints of Ethereum and its programming language Solidity. I hope to pass as much of that on to you as possible in this series.
In Java, a modifier has a reserved keyword that is included in the definition of class, method, and variables. A modifier adds some meanings to these definitions. Modifiers are also called specifiers.
These modifiers are classified into two categories. Some of the modifiers are called access modifiers and some are called non-access modifiers.
