Answer 2560x1600 Details Concepts Density-independent pixel (dp) - The conversion of dp units to screen pixels is simple: px = dp * (dpi / 160).

Liberarianism Issues (romanian) O vreme credeam destul de mult in libertarianism ca la ceva viabil. Acum am ceva mixed feelings. Cred ca exista niste proprietati emergente din libertarianism pe care nu le putem vedea pt ca nu exista destula practica. De exemplu mi-e teama de explele de sectoare private din sua (care teoretic sunt influentate doar de piata): drept (armate, mafii de juristi) asigurari sanatate (cartel de asigurari de sanatate care vad ca nu e spart de nimeni desi domeniul e privat) telefonie (cartel de servicii de date, telefonie care e greu de spart) Se pare ca domeniile astea nu...

All the information is there. Flow (Business/High Level Flow) - is the high level state of the flow described in business terms. This state is inferred from the Raw Flow. In general is good to decouple those since they are very useful in different circumstances and good to support different responsibilities: Raw Flow is good for synchronizing all the details, to ensure parallelism, to detect conflicting changes,...

The conversation was about returning or passing nulls and I was saying that is always bad and people should throw exceptions or follow the null object design pattern. The counterargument was that there are simple cases that returning null is valid and the solutions I am suggesting add complexity. Now I am confused. General Answer In engineering is always about trade-offs. There is no room for... [read more]
