    1. Daten sprechen dafür, dass die Eisfläche um die Antarktis in diesem antarktischen Sommer noch mehr schrumpft als 2023. Am 7. September war die von Eis bedeckte Fläche kleiner als vor einem Jahr. Forschende sehen darin ein Anzeichen dafür, dass das ganze antarktische System in einen anderen Zustand übergegangen ist, weil sich die erhöhten Lufttemperaturen jetzt auch auf den Ozean auswirken. Zu den Folgen gehören Veränderungen der Strömungen und ein schnelleres Abschmelzen der antarktischen Gletscher. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/sep/10/two-incredible-extreme-events-antarctic-sea-ice-on-cusp-of-record-winter-low-for-second-year-running

"Touching on such diverse topics as the American war machine, civil disobedience, the importance of memory and remembering history, and the role of artists - from Langston Hughes to Dalton Trumbo to Bob Dylan - in relation to social change,

      This book talks about how historical events, artis role and civil movements, among others topics are related with social changes,

    1. Why would a historian move outside the boundaries of the discipline (refuse to be disciplined) and decide to enter the world of the theater— that is, to write plays? I can’t speak for others— the historian Martin Duberman is the only one who comes to mind, having written the documentary play In White America during the early years of the civil rights movement.Zinn, Howard.

    1. => 箭头函数的匿名性是 => 的阿喀琉斯之踵。这让我不能遵守刚刚所说的命名原则了:阅读困难,调试困难,无法自我引用。

      的确如此

    2. 顺便说一句,匿名的意思是什么?具体来说,函数具有一个 name 的属性,用于保存函数在语法上设定名称的字符串值,例如 "helloMyNameIs" 或 "FunctionExpr"。 这个name 属性特别用于 JS 环境的控制台或开发工具。当我们在堆栈轨迹中追踪(通常来自异常)时,这个属性可以列出该函数。

      匿名函数很令人头疼,同时React的匿名组件也有类似的问题。

      因此推荐使用 const foo = ()=>{} 的形式来写函数。借助ES6能够从名称引用中给匿名函数推导出名称

      但是如果foo未被定义,则容易出问题

    3. 我们将在本书的后续中大量使用闭包。如果抛开整个编程来说,它可能是所有函数式编程中最重要的基础。希望你能用得舒服!

      是的,闭包关联了多个重要的概念。作用域、垃圾收集、以及多种设计模式的实现。

    4. 在所有编程,尤其是函数式编程中,最强大的就是:当一个函数内部存在另一个函数的作用域时,对当前函数进行操作。当内部函数从外部函数引用变量,这被称作闭包。

      一个函数内部嵌套了另外一个函数,此时内部函数体中可以访问外层函数的作用域,这就是闭包。

      闭包的用途,可以用于实现各种设计模式,是JS的核心概念之一

    5. 将其他函数视为值的函数是高阶函数的定义。函数式编程者们应该学会这样写!

      函数是一等公民的意思是,函数跟其他数据类型一样,在传值时被同等对待,也就是能够被传递进函数并从函数返回

    6. 这个隐式函数输出在函数式编程中有一个特殊的名称:副作用。当然,没有副作用的函数也有一个特殊的名称:纯函数。我们将在以后的章节讨论这些,但关键是我们应该喜欢纯函数,并且要尽可能地避免副作用。

      例如可以将副作用集中、转化,使函数尽可能纯粹而不具有副作用

    7. 但是,改变一个外部作用域的变量,就像我们在 foo(..) 中所做的赋值 y 一样,只是实现隐式输出的一种方式。一个更微妙的例子是通过引用对非局部值进行更改。

      尽量避免使用隐式输出,也就是不要在函数体中修改外部变量,也不要修改函数形参的值。

      显示return是更佳的选择。

    8. 我不是说,你只能有一个 return,或你不应该提早 return,我只是认为在定义函数时,最好不要用 return 来实现流控制,这样会创造更多的隐含意义。尝试找出最明确的表达逻辑的方式,这往往是最好的办法。

      一个可以尽早退出的例子是判断函数是否需要继续执行下去,作为一种守护代码而存在。

      文章中的例子更像是用来得到一个新的值,此时需要谨慎使用return来实现流程控制,更推荐使用if来控制执行流程,并最终return出结果

    9. 提示: 在这里我十分建议你花一点时间来思考:是否需要避免函数有可重构的多个输出?或许将这个函数分为两个或更多个更小的单用途函数。有时会需要这么做,有时可能不需要,但你应该至少考虑一下。

      的确需要考虑,衡量的标准应该是函数的纯粹性:

      这个函数的功能是否是单一的,是否可以接着拆解成更细粒度的函数。

    10. function foo() { var retValue1 = 11; var retValue2 = 31; return [ retValue1, retValue2 ]; } var [ x, y ] = foo(); console.log( x + y ); // 42

      在编写React Hooks时会很自然用到这种写法:

      js const [xxx, fetchXXX] = useXxx()

    11. 如果你没有 return 值,或者你使用 return;,那么则会隐式地返回 undefined 值。 如果想要尽可能靠近函数式编程的定义:使用函数而非程序,那么我们的函数必须永远有返回值。这也意味着他们必须明确地 return 一个值,通常这个值也不是 undefined。

      这也是React会在render函数中的if语句中报错的原因,隐式返回undefined

    12. 通过不同的输入值让一个函数重载拥有不同的行为的技巧叫做特定多态(ad hoc polymorphism)。

      重载,多态

    13. 程序员这样定义函数的原因之一是,更容易通过同一个函数来重载不同的功能。最广为人知的例子就是 jQuery 提供的 $(..)。"$" 函数大约有十几种不同的功能 —— 从 DOM 元素查找,到 DOM 元素创建,到等待 “DOMContentLoaded” 事件后,执行一个函数,这些都取决于你传递给它的参数。

      是根据不同的实参来执行不同的函数【逻辑】

    14. 回想一下,术语 Arity 是指期望函数接收多少个参数。Arity 为 1 的函数也被称为一元函数。在函数式编程中,我们希望我们的函数在任何的情况下是一元的,有时我们甚至会使用各种技巧来将高 Arity 的函数都转换为一元的形式。

      这意味着函数的形参是一个,但是可以通过解构来从一个形参中读取多个参数。这简化了参数的传递,从而降低理解成本

    15. 只要可能,无论我们的语言和我们的库或框架允许我们达到什么程度,我们都应该尽可能使用声明性的和自解释的代码。

      声明式的就是说,我期望有xxx,数量是xxx,是对一种期望的状态的描述,但是如何达到这一状态则不再描述。

      命令式则逐行描述需要执行的具体操作,在操作最终执行完之前,无法得知最终的结果

    16. 数组解构

      有点像在讲ES6的小技巧,但是确实比ES5要好用得多,可以代替很多工具函数

    17. 无论采取什么行为, ... 都会让实参数组更容易操作。那些我们使用实参数组 slice(..),concat(..) 和 apply(..) 的日子已经过去了。

      也就是有了... 就不需要使用 arguments 来操作实参数组了

    18. 牺牲向后的兼容性

      想象是一个一直向右的箭头代表滚滚向前的时间,有个小人面向箭头前进的方向。

      此时向后兼容意味着从小人的角色来看,是在兼容在过去编写的代码,也就是所谓的历史代码。因此向后兼容可以简单记录为兼容老代码。

      而向前兼容就可以说是老代码可以在新的平台、框架上运行。

    19. foo(..) 期望三个实参,因为它声明了三个形参。这里有一个特殊的术语:Arity。Arity 指的是一个函数声明的形参数量。 foo(..) 的 Arity 是 3。

      foo.length可以获取函数形参的数量。实参是实际传入函数的值,而形参是函数参数的形状,也就是用于接收传入值的明明变量

    1. 最好的代码是可读性高的代码,因为它在正确的(理想主义)和必然的(正确的)之间寻求到了恰到好处的平衡。

      在极端简单的代码和极端臃肿混乱的代码之间,折中选择了一种可读性更好的代码。

      当然,最好的代码是没有代码

    2. 我们将在下一章更深入的讨论这个问题。但是你可能写过一些命令式的代码,像 if 语句和 for 循环这样的语句。这些语句旨在精确地指导计算机如何完成一件事情。声明式代码,以及我们努力遵循函数式编程原则所写出的代码,更专注于描述最终的结果。

      声明式写法和命令式写法的挑战无处不在。例如各种运维系统中往往崇尚声明式写法,但是也有人对aws的yml文件深恶痛绝。

    3. 你知道研究过这个话题的专家给出了怎样的数据吗?我们在维护代码过程中 70% 的时间花在了阅读和理解代码上。 也难怪全球程序员每天的平均代码行数是 5 行。我们一天花七个半小时用来读代码,然后找出这 5 行代码应该写在哪里。

      工作时间越长,越能理解这一点。

    4. 根据以往经验你可能知道,有时候花很多时间“编程”其实只是读现有的代码。我们的大部分时间其实都是在维护别人的代码(或自己的老代码),只有少部分时间是在敲新代码。

      的确如此,就算是从零开始一个全新的想项目,随着项目的逐步发展,阅读先有代码的时间也会超过编写新代码的时间

    5. 信任是什么意思?信任是指你通过读代码,不仅是跑代码,就能理解这段代码能干什么事,而不只是停留在它可能是干什么的层面。

      代码的第一要义是供人阅读,例如人们可以直接阅读仓库中的源码文件来搞清楚这块代码的逻辑,有时候甚至不借助具备丰富功能的IDE就能做到这一点。

    1. In a recent report into what tech partners want, 58% of partners cite a lack of communications as a factor in why partnerships don’t reach expectations. Communication challenges include channels and frequency.

      The report highlights issues with channels and frequency as primary communication challenges. Ensuring a streamlined and efficient communication process within the partner portal is crucial for overcoming these hurdles. It's evident that resolving these communication issues is fundamental to fostering successful tech partnerships and optimizing the overall effectiveness of the partner program.

    2. In C# 9.0 and later versions, when you use top-level statements in a Program.cs file, there is no default namespace defined.

      IF "there is no default namespace defined" = "without any namespace declaration" -> the code in Program.cs belongs to the global namespace since there is no default or explicit namespace specified in the file

    1. Unlike many developed countries, the United States lacks a national curriculum or teacher-training standards. Local policies change constantly, as governors, school boards, mayors and superintendents flow in and out of jobs.

      Many developed countries have national curricula and specific teacher-training standards, but the United States does not. Instead decisions on curricular and standards are created and enforced at the state and local levels, often by politically elected figures including governors, mayors, superintendents, and school boards.

      This leaves early education in the United States open to a much greater sway of political influence. This can be seen in examples of Texas attempting to legislate the display the ten commandments in school classrooms in 2023, reading science being neglected in the adoption of Culkins' Units of Study curriculum, and other footballs like the supposed suppression of critical race theory in right leaning states.

    2. Her curriculum, “Units of Study,” is built on a vision of children as natural readers, and it has been wildly popular and profitable. She estimates that a quarter of the country’s 67,000 elementary schools use it. At Columbia University’s Teachers College, she and her team have trained hundreds of thousands of educators.

      Calkins' Units of Study curriculum has been estimated to be used by nearly 25% of the 67,000 elementary schools in the United States in 2023.

      Colorado has approached Family First implementation as a broad systems transformation effort that cuts across multiple offices within the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS), including the Division of Child Welfare (DCW), Office of Behavioral Health (OBH), Office of Early Childhood (OEC), and Office of Economic Security (OES). Other state agencies, including the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) have been essential in ensuring a holistic approach to implementation.

    1. Colorado’s vision is that all children, youth, parents or kin caregivers with these risk factors will be eligible for Title IV-E prevention services—both those who are involved in the child welfare system and those who have not been the subject of a child maltreatment report but share characteristics that deem them at serious risk of out-of-home placement.

    1. The IMPACT organization.
    2. I would have preferred a “Yes/No” option for this question. I believe that Boulder County’s prevention services are better than most districts and we can do so much better at the same time. The IMPACT partnership in Boulder County should be a state and national model. Money diverted from savings by not committing clients is key to providing more services in the community. Many other districts struggle with prevention due to funding and there seems to be a gap in how this is accomplished. Providers are struggling to stay open and are constantly dealing with hardships due to funding. Great therapist and support workers often leave organizations that serve this population due to low pay. The key to making the Family First initiative a success is creating and maintaining a robust, well-funded system of care in communities. A system of care that incentivizes front line workers. These service providers are currently under funded and the work is difficult, which is a recipe for poor service delivery.

    1. The Core Services Program was established in 1994 to provide strength-based resources and support to families when children and youth are at imminent risk of out-of-home placement, in need of services to return home or to maintain a placement in the least restrictive setting possible.
    2. Core Services Program goals Focus on family strengths by directing intensive services that support and strengthen the family and/or protect the child/youth Prevent out-of-home placement of the child/youth Return children/youth in placement to their own home or unite children/youth with their permanent families Provide services that protect the child/youth
    3. recognition that children/youth need a safe and stable family and that separating children/youth from their families and communities removes them from natural supports and often causes trauma, leaving lasting negative effects.

    4. Core Services Programs may include any of the following elements of service:
    1. Family preservation is the foundation The Core Services Program is based on a foundation of research and practice in family preservation. Family preservation services are generally short-term, family-based services designed to support families in crisis by improving parenting and family functioning while keeping children/youth safe.
    2. Family preservation services There are 10 designated types of family preservation services, listed below, and this array of services constitutes the Core Services Program. Aftercare Services: Any of the Core Services provided to prepare a child for reunification with his/her family or other permanent placement and to prevent future out-of-home placement of the child. County Designed Services: An optional service tailored by the specific county in meeting the needs of families and children in the community in order to prevent the out-of-home placement of children or facilitate reunification or another form of permanence. County designed services encompass components of the menu of Core Services, yet are structured in their delivery and tracked uniquely to gain detailed data on evidenced-based programs, as well as programs that are providing positive outcomes in communities around the state. Day Treatment: Comprehensive, highly structured services that provide education to children and therapy to children and their families. Home-Based Intervention: Services provided primarily in the home of the client and include a variety of services, which can include therapeutic services, concrete services, collateral services and crisis intervention directed to meet the needs of the child and family. See Section 7.303.14 for service elements of therapeutic, concrete, collateral, and crisis intervention. Intensive Family Therapy: Therapeutic intervention typically with all family members to improve family communication, functioning, and relationships. Life Skills: Services provided primarily in the home that teach household management, effectively accessing community resources, parenting techniques, and family conflict management. Mental Health Services: Diagnostic and/or therapeutic services to assist in the development of the family services plan and to assess and/or improve family communication, functioning, and relationships. Sexual Abuse Treatment: Therapeutic intervention designed to address issues and behaviors related to sexual abuse victimization, sexual dysfunction, sexual abuse perpetration, and to prevent further sexual abuse and victimization. Special Economic Assistance: Emergency financial assistance of not more than $2,000 per family per year in the form of cash and/or vendor payment to purchase hard services. See Section 7.303.14 for service elements of hard services. Substance Abuse Treatment Services: Diagnostic and/or therapeutic services to assist in the development of the family service plan, to assess and/or improve family communication, functioning and relationships, and to prevent further abuse of drugs or alcohol.
    1. return to families from which they have been removed
    2. Family Preservation Services -- services for children and families designed to help families (including adoptive and extended families) at risk or in crisis, including:
    3. services designed to improve parenting skills (by reinforcing parents' confidence in their strengths, and helping them to identify where improvement is needed and to obtain assistance in improving those skills) with respect to matters such as child development, family budgeting, coping with stress, health and nutrition.
    4. preplacement prevention services programs, such as intensive family preservation programs, designed to help children at risk of foster care placement remain with their families;
    5. Criterion #2: Programs should be based on well-articulated theories

      as in...DHS's, attorneys', magistrates', untrained counselors' flippant remarks regarding intervention about what's best and right and should and shouldn't ... are not well-articulated theories

    1. The Family First Transition Act temporarily suspends the requirement that at least 50% of title IV-E prevention services expenditures be for “well-supported” practice for two fiscals years
    2. The Family First Prevention Services Act (Family First) creates an expanded entitlement/50% reimbursement of federal funds to provide services to keep children and youth safely with their families.
    3. Supported and well-supported services in Colorado’s prevention plan should be paid for using the Core Services Program allocation, Child Welfare Services Block, or State General Fund.

    1. RationaleAs evidence-based research becomes the norm in child welfare practice, countiesare more interested than ever in evaluating the effectiveness of services and placementsprovided to children and families in the system.
    2. Formally referred to as family preservation services (FPS), the Colorado CoreServices Program is based on “assistance that focuses on family strengths and includesservices that empower a family by providing alternative problem-solving techniques,child-rearing practices, and responses to living situations creating stress for the family”(C.R.S. 26-5.5-103). The Core Services Program also includes the provision of resources(e.g., special economic assistance) to serve as support systems for children and families.
    3. RationaleAs evidence-based research becomes the norm in child welfare practice, countiesare more interested than ever in evaluating the effectiveness of services and placementsprovided to children and families in the system.
    1. erefore, toassist states in providing services designed to support families and helpkeep them together, the Congress enacted legislation as part of theOmnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ( OBRA 1993) that authorized$930 million in federal funds to states over a 5-year period for familypreservation and support (FPS) services. Family preservation servicestypically target families already in crisis whose children would otherwisebe removed from home. Family support services are community-basedactivities intended to prevent the kinds of crises that family preservationservices are aimed at alleviating. To receive federal funds for theseservices, each state had to submit a grant application in 1994 and a 5-yearplan in 1995 that set quantifiable goals and methods for measuringoutcomes

      FPS - Family Preservation and Support Services - OBRA 1993. Originally called FPS in CO, then changed to "Core Serv Prog"

    1. 26-5.3-104. Emergency assistance for families with children at imminent risk of being placed out of the home.(1) The executive director of the state department is hereby authorized to include in the state temporary assistance for needy families plan the establishment and implementation of an emergency assistance program for families with children at imminent risk of being placed out of the home. The purpose of the program shall be to meet the needs of the family in crisis due to the imminent risk of out-of-home placement by providing emergency assistance in the form of intake, assessment, counseling, treatment, and other family preservation services that meet the needs of the family which are attributable to the emergency or crisis situation.

    1. I like to organize all the state in a program so that it's reachable from some root pointer. This makes it easy for the reader to understand all the resources allocated by the program by just following the tree of types. It also makes it easy to find any piece of state from within a debugger, or to write little debugging helpers that eg check global invariants or print queue lengths.

    1. This is critical since many optimizations are accomplished by violating (hopefully safely) module boundaries; it is disastrous to incorporate optimizations into the main body of code. The separation allows the optimizations to be checked against the meanings.

    1. It's typically taken for granted that better performance must require higher complexity. But I've often had the experience that making some component of a system faster allows the system as a whole to be simpler
    1. The latest SQLite 3.8.7 alpha version is 50% faster than the 3.7.17 release from 16 months ago. [...] This is 50% faster at the low-level grunt work of moving bits on and off disk and search b-trees. We have achieved this by incorporating hundreds of micro-optimizations. Each micro-optimization might improve the performance by as little as 0.05%. If we get one that improves performance by 0.25%, that is considered a huge win. Each of these optimizations is unmeasurable on a real-world system (we have to use cachegrind to get repeatable run-times) but if you do enough of them, they add up.
    1. The Business Strategy stems from a detailed strategic planning process. However, the question we want to answer in this article is whether we can execute multiple strategies side by side while they do not interfere with each other. We compare multiple strategies for business, information provision and IT and focus on Strategic planning.

    1. What is an assembler language? https://en.itpedia.nl/2019/11/11/wat-is-een-assembler-taal/ An #assembler_language is a low-level programming_language designed for a specific processor type. We can produce Assembler by compiling #source_code from a high-level programming language (such as C / C ++). But we can also write #programs in this language ourselves. In turn, we can convert Assembler_code into machine_code using an assembler.

    1. An array is from a logical point of view not an object - although JavaScript handles and reports them as such. In practice however, it is not helpful to see them equal, because they are not.
    2. arrays are not objects from a logical point of view. I'm speaking about program logic. It is sometimes necessary to check if an array is a "real" array and definitely not an "real" object. That's what Array.isArray() is for. Imagine you have a function which accepts an object or an array of objects.

    1. Longstanding controversy surrounds the meaning of the term "hacker". In this controversy, computer programmers reclaim the term hacker, arguing that it refers simply to someone with an advanced understanding of computers and computer networks[5] and that cracker is the more appropriate term for those who break into computers, whether computer criminals (black hats) or computer security experts (white hats).

    1. America’s publicly funded adult education system serves only 5 percent of the 40 million U.S. adults who have low literacy skills.1 To stay competitive, adults need better access to education and training experiences that are high quality, afford­able, and adaptable. This includes math skills, which significantly affect employ­ability and career options.

      This article raises concerns with the workforce in America and how we are supporting adults who need access to a better education. With a better education adults can access higher paying jobs and contribute more. The article uses case studies and highlights to discuss different methods and best practice of adult learning.

      Discusses they ways in which Kacey Thorne of WGU, outlines plans for developing underlying competencies for online programs. Program architecture refers to the connect of skills and competencies for specific industries linking back to a network of what students will learn in school through offered programs. This is necessary for creating relevant programs that teach translatable skills for the real world after college. Rating 10/10
