I'd say it is a design smell and not necessarily code smell. Any API or data interface should try to keep "optional keys" at a minimum.

Depending on the language, `a.b && ...` could be checking either or both of the following:

I was awestruck by the tool web "app" and not the stuff that it covered. I am just as impressed today as I was years ago by looking at the different interactions.

My new year's resolution is to "get functional". I have already started with Haskell[1] and now, I want to start using FP in some toy project.I find RamdaJS to be a perfect fit. But I can't seem to find a good, i.e. in-depth, guide on the topic.Anyone knows a good place to start?[1]: learnyouahaskell.com

Ask HN: Some examples of parallel but not concurrent processing

from the ask-hn dept.

Lately I've been studying the different async workflows and the most confusing bit (so far) is the difference between concurrent execution and parallel execution.I have examples for concurrent-not-parallel, like single threaded processes or a multi-threaded program on a single thread processor.What I cannot find are examples of scenarios where the execution is parallel, but not concurrent.
