To read the quick version of this story, scroll down to paragraph 5, but I'd like to give you the background story:
I tried marijuana for the first time when I was 14. I was introduced to it by some friends I knew from high school. My first experience with marijuana was quite groovy. While high I understood why people did it. My whole world was amazing and beautiful. It made me feel like the happiest person alive.
It was a while after that where I wasn't smoking, but if anyone offered I wouldn't have turned them down either. That period lasted about two years, until I moved to a new school and met new people that smoked weed. I wanted to be accepted as a 'Cool Kid' so I decided to hang with them. Unfortunately, they didn't live too far from me and I had easy access to their house. I decided I wanted to get high before school one day, so I lied to my mom and told her that I was going over a friends house to help tutor them with some math homework (which I am completely horrible at)and that they were going to take me to school.
The biggest sign that it was a bad idea was that it was dark and rainy at 6 in the morning. It took a good 20 minutes to walk to their house, all the while I was nervous thinking about what I had lied about, and what I was about to do. Once there I knocked on the door and a man I did not know answered the door. I knew my so-called friends nickname so I asked for him, once they heard the nickname they let me in. 'Leave your shoes at the door.' the unfamiliar man said. I did accordingly and began to sit and wait to see my friend. 'You know anybody lookin' for a computer?' the man asked. I replied 'No, but if I find someone I'll definitely let them know'.
Our small talk continued until my friend woke up (I was there quite early) and we began to talk and catch up. I found out the unfamiliar guy was his brother, and I met his other brothers, one the youngest and the other the oldest. Keep in mind the setting was already horrible, I didn't know a lot about my friend or his brothers, visiting his house for the first time, on a dark rainy morning. Eventually his oldest brother got us a blunt wrap and proceeded to roll us a blunt. 'Your mama know you smoke?' the oldest asked. I don't quite remember what I said but my friend replied to my comment by saying, 'I told mines I wasn't stoppin'.'
Eventually the smoke began to fill the room as the blunts were being passed. Someone turned on a cd and I was already experiencing the onset, I felt comfortable and euphoric. After what felt like 20 minutes I began to feel like something was wrong. I took another hit and I realized I couldn't feel anything. The younger brother said something to the effect of, 'Man, you smoke like a chimney!' I nervously laughed.
Before I knew it I felt like hours had passed and I was just sitting in a chair, watching the world continue around me. It felt like my legs had sunk into the floor and I couldn't feel them. The younger brother started talking to my friend and I literally couldn't understand what he was saying. His phrases began to loop and repeat and I started to get scared out of my wits. My friend decided out of nowhere to do a freestyle rap.
To this day the melody of that rap is the most demonic I have ever heard. I don't remember his words, just the melody. All the while I was thinking to myself about all I had ever heard about street drugs.  I eventually asked out of curiosity 'How do you guys think?', because I was literally that desensitized. The response just made things worse, the oldest smiled and said, 'We don't.' I began to think 'What is the world coming to?! Is this what other teenagers are doing behind closed doors?'.
I eventually came to the conclusion (that wasn't really founded, anyway) that they were trying to get me addicted to some type of drug by using marijuana as a cover-up. They were trying to take advantage of me. No, they were trying to kill me! I asked to be shown to the bathroom, my friend just lazily pointed his finger toward the kitchen door without even looking up. Somehow I found my way to the kitchen and eventually to the bathroom where I turned on the light and looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were completely bloodshot-red (which is logical seeing as I had just smoked marijuana) and I looked just straight out of it. I looked at my cell phone to keep track of time because it felt like I had been their for hours.
I had only been there for basically an hour-and-a-half. I prayed and asked God to forgive me, seeing as I was and still am a Christian, and walked back out to the living room. Not too long after that our ride arrived. I had decided seeing as they were 'trying to kill me,' I wasn't going anywhere with them, even if it was to school. I eventually broke it to them that I was just going to take the bus (another lie) they agreed and drove off. When I say I darted and ran like I was going to be chased, I'm not lying. I began to think that they were following me and we were playing a game of cat-and-mouse. I was scared that they were going to pop up any minute, snatch me up into the car and drive me off to nowhere and kill me.
I ran about 5 blocks down to a park that had a hill. Once at the top I began to have an extremely psychotic episode. I began to yell, scream, and pray for God to deliver me.  It wasn't a whole lot because I had had nothing to eat. I began to again think about what my parents would say if they found out and what people would say about my 'friends' once I reported them to the police. After fighting with myself for what felt like 20 minutes, I called 911.
I told the 911 operator the entire story and she assured me that the authorites were on their way. I don't know if she dispatched them or not but they never came. I decided that staying there wasn't going to do me any good so I walked, and walked, and walked, and walked for a period of about 7 hours (no lie, I looked at my cell periodically) so much to the point where I had blisters, until it was 3:30 and I could come home like I had been at school all day. I was determined to not put my parents through a mistake I had made.
Once home, I still caught myself tripping. I was scared to close my eyes because all I would see were spiders crawling on my wall. I realized it was easier to sleep with a nightlight than in the complete dark. The next morning my dad woke me up for class. I looked at him, smiled, and privately thanked God I was still alive to see him.

Canada: Economy grew at annualized rate of 1.3% in Q3 vs. 1.2% expected
by Eren Sengezer- Canada's economy grew slightly more than expected in Q3.
- CAD erased small portion of daily losses against USD after data.
The Canadian economy expanded 1.3% on a yearly basis in the third quarter supported by higher household spending and business investment, the data published by Statistics Canada showed on Friday. This reading came in better than the market expectation of 1.2%.
The CAD gathered strength on the data and the USD/CAD pair pulled away from daily highs. As of writing, the pair was still up 0.1% on the day at 1.3290.
"Real gross domestic product (GDP) grew 0.3%, following a 0.9% increase in the second quarter. Third quarter growth was led by higher business investment and increased household spending, boosting final domestic demand by 0.8%," Statistics Canada's pres release read. "Business investment rose 2.6% in the third quarter, the fastest pace since the fourth quarter of 2017. Growth in household spending accelerated to 0.4%, after rising 0.1% in the second quarter."

In low level languages (think C, or assembly), functions can be passed as parameters to other functions using function pointers. That is, pointers to the first instruction of the function.
Example: the C function signal()
is used to register a signal handler.
typedef void (*sig_t) (int);
sig_t signal(int sig, sig_t func);
Things get more complicated when function definitions can be nested. For instance, in GNU C, one can write:
int add (double a, double b) {
int add_b (double x) { return x + b; }
return add_b(a);
}
Suppose now that instead of an integer, add
returns a pointer to add_b
.
typedef int (*func) (int);
func add(double b) {
int add_b (double x) { return x + b; }
return &add_b;
}
Unfortunately, this is not correct. The variable b
may no longer exists when add
returns. Presumably, b
is allocated on the stack, and will be freed before we try to the function returned by add.
To solve this issue, functional languages use the notion of closure. A closure is the runtime representation of a function together with its context (the values of the local variables that the function was using when it was defined).
We could implement this behavior in C by defining a closure type. For instance, a closure type for functions of type int -> int
could be:
struct Closure {
int b;
func f;
};
typedef struct Closure *PClosure;
We can rewrite the initial program:
int add_b(PClosure this, double x) {
return (x + this->b);
}
PClosure add (double b) {
PClosure cl = (PClosure) malloc(sizeof(struct Closure));
cl->b = b;
cl->f = (func) &add_b;
return cl;
}
This is essentially the transformation you'll have to perform in the front-end of the compiler in ASML generation (see frontend and ASML).
Of course, in programming languages that support closures, all of this is taken care of by the compiler or the runtime. Some examples:
let add b =
let add_b x = x + b in
add_b
function add(b) {
add_b = function(x) {
return x + b;
}
return add_b;
}
In object-oriented languages like Java or C++, closures can be coded using objects instead of structures. A closure is an object with one method, and fields capturing the local variables.

Contact A film review by Marty Mapes Copyright 1997 Marty Mapes
***1/2 (out of 4) Jodie Foster is great, and Zemeckis knows how to use film technology without compromising a story's humanity, but the real star of CONTACT is its author, Carl Sagan.
CONTACT is a smart movie. It is a science fiction movie without being an action movie. Instead of laser blasts, chases and grunting, it offers questions, dilemmas, and discussion. It is science fiction from the perspective of a scientist, not from that of a studio with too much money and gunpowder.
Foster plays Ellie Arroway, a Sagan-like scientist working for SETI (the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence). Faced with a government bureaucracy unwilling to pay for pure research, it is Ellie's determination alone that keeps her in her job.
Her determination pays off when she hears a repeating signal coming from a nearby star. As Ellie starts decoding the cryptic message, the world watches, frets, and prays. As the message becomes clearer and clearer to Ellie, the world's reaction becomes more and more muddled. Ellie learns that the message is a blueprint for a kind of spaceship, while humanity argues over the aliens' intentions, legitimacy, and divinity.
The blueprints are ultimately realized through the funding of a worldwide coalition of nations, and a representative is chosen to be the first ambassador to our new neighbors.
Contact is a great tribute to Sagan. Ellie has all of Sagan's curiosity, morality, and rationality. She repeats a probabilistic argument for the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence that Sagan used in his COSMOS. Ellie is a rational athiest who's interested in religious discussion, like Sagan. And when she says "billion" you can almost hear his voice.
Beyond the character of Ellie, the movie itself honors Sagan. It asks relevant questions about religion and science without taking sides, it recognizes the humanity of even the bad guys (though James Woods' portrayal was a little prickly). Most of all, it values human curiosity - that inexplicable force that makes scientists like Ellie and Sagan so determined.
Zemeckis proves his ability right from the start. The opening shot of the movie is absolutely beautiful, and the richly layered soundtrack gives meaning to that beauty (kudos to supervising sound editor Phil Benson). The second sequence of shots foreshadows Ellie's future: young Ellie makes radio contact with distant life forms from a thousand miles away.
Zemeckis doesn't condescend to his audience; he gives us credit for being able to understand science and to appreciate the discussion of religion. Even in such mundane tasks as introducing characters, Zemeckis does not insult our intelligence. A blind man is introduced without anyone saying "Meet Fisher, he's blind;" a reclusive benefactor is revealed with a glance, not a grand, James Bond-like introduction.
Finally, Zemeckis and editor Arthur Schmidt really heap on the tension when, toward the end, our ambassador is ready to be sent. Lately, movie tension has been less than subtle: consider the bus-over-the-cliff scene in THE LOST WORLD or the paranoia of homocidal prisoners in CON AIR. In CONTACT, the tension is just as taut, but more complex. There is a chance for death, but other factors gnaw at the characters and at the audience: the anticipation of meeting an alien race, the uncertainty of using technology we don't understand, the fear of aborting a mission so close to comletion.
Still, all of this talent could have been spent on a less deserving story. It is a tribute to the producers (other than Sagan and Ann Druyan, his wife) and Zemeckis that they took a chance on a smart, human science fiction movie, instead of buying explosions and space battles.

THE BIG LEBOWSKI A film review by Matt Williams
RATING: * * out of * * * *
The Coen Brothers have consistently released a string of quirky, offbeat, but highly entertaining films with only one minor stumble (Miller's Crossing). While The Big Lebowski delivers more of their typical oddball characters and situations, it is an unfortunate disappointment. This time, they have all the parts together, but someone forgot the glue.
Jeff Bridges stars as "The Dude" Jeff Lebowski, but not The Big Lebowski. That appellation belongs to a millionaire (David Huddleston) who happens to have the same name as The Dude, but much bigger enemies. Or at least his trophy wife, Bunny (Tara Reid), does. But it doesn't matter much to The Dude when those enemies, in a mix-up, come knocking on his door.
The Dude, you see, is a relic from the 60s. His hippie lifestyle has devolved over time into an endless haze of smoking marijuana, drinking White Russians, and bowling. His bowling partners don't have much of a life either. There's Walter (John Goodman), an obsessed Vietnam vet with a hair trigger, and an irrational devotion to his ex-wife. And then there's the wimpish Donny (Steve Buscemi), who's the team's best bowler, but gets no recognition and little respect from his teammates.
So, as the Dude gets entangled in the plot, through no fault of his own, he meets a plethora of unusual characters. Julianne Moore appears as an uber-feministic artist. Peter Stormare is a German nihilist with an attack ferret. Coen regular John Turturro has a cameo as Jesus, a bowler with strange predilections. There's even a cowboy, Sam Elliott, who narrates the tale.
However, the sensation this time around is like a bunch of jigsaw pieces from different puzzles hammered together. The Coen's better work, such as Raising Arizona or Barton Fink, each had the same menagerie of bizarre characters, but in those films there was some sort of common thread that linked them all together. They all seemed to belong in the same world...something that's not true of The Big Lebowski.
Taken on an individual basis, the characters are funny. Jeff Bridges does another superb turn in the film's central role, enhancing his character with a seemingly effortless comic touch. Goodman's outbursts are amusing, but they seem staged. Many of the other characters are overshadowed by their own quirks.
Visually, the film is a treat, particularly in the film's elaborately staged dream sequences. They serve no narrative purpose in the film (like many other things), but they're a hoot to watch.
The central problem with the film seems to be on the script level. There are plenty of good concepts and interesting characters, but the end result seems more like a scrapbook than a screenplay.
The Big Lebowski is a failure. But, on the bright side, it's a Coen Brothers failure, so, even if the film has little point and even less cohesion, you've got quirky characters and strange situations to divert you.

Online stores hold less inventory and deliver better information to its customers. They can maintain the database of inventory of physical retail store and hence makes business by distributing information in a bette r way. Physical stores can respond positively by allowing interaction of their product. It simplifies their business marketing by not having to deliver products, but provide with repair or returns. The combination of both leads to optimal solution.
Google working on the idea of delivery services through which people can buy from local retailer/branches after a search and get it delivered through Google delivery and pay through Google Wallet online or offline. Google also promises to refund/ replace the purchase if the customer is dissatisfied. Google does not intend to build stores or warehouses but makes money through add deals for local retailers and selling its own offers, hence taking advantage of existing physical stores.

by Karandeep SinghSamsung smartwatches are popularly associated with their rotating bezels, but the Galaxy Watch Active came out with an inert glass bezel, embracing a monumental design shift to some users’ dismay. Its unanticipated follow-up met halfway with a new touch bezel that emulates its mechanical peer using haptic vibrations. Turns out, you can get this interactive bezel on the original Watch Active, and an update is already underway to enable it.
Left: Galaxy Watch Active changelog (via XDA). Center & Right: Galaxy Watch changelog.
A bunch of other features from the newer model are also trickling down to the Galaxy Watch Active and the Galaxy Watch. With the latest update installed, both wearables will offer you a new selection of watch face complications, besides a feature called My Style. It basically lets you create a custom watch face matching your outfit, just by adding a picture of your clothing in the companion app. Last year’s Galaxy Watch will also be getting an enhanced version of Bixby that was previously made available for the Watch Active users.
The update weighs 91.1MB for the Galaxy Watch Active and 117.18MB for the Galaxy Watch. Samsung has already begun rolling out these versions gradually across its global markets, but you might have to patiently wait for a bit for the update to hit your watch.

Setting up OSSEC security notifications, Security, Monitoring
Install and Configure OSSEC Security Notifications - Ubuntu, Debian
Difficulty: 2
Time: 45 Minutes
OSSEC is an open-source, host-based intrusion detection system. It performs log integrity checking, analysis, rootkit detection, Windows registry monitoring, active response and time based alerting. It can monitor one or more servers and can be configured to give real time alerts. This article explains installation of OSSEC security notifications on Debian
and Ubuntu.
You need access to sudo
privileges to complete all steps.
Prerequisites
Prepare the System
-
Update the server.
apt-get update
- Install the packages.
apt-get install build-essential inotify-tools
Download OSSEC and verify the package
You need to download the OSSEC tarball and a file with its cryptographic checksum to verify that you are installing valid software. We'll generate MD5 and SHA1 checksum and compare with those in the checksum file.
-
Download OSSEC.
sudo wget -U ossec http://www.ossec.net/files/ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz
Download the checksum file.
sudo wget -U ossec http://www.ossec.net/files/ossec-hids-2.8.1-checksum.txt
-
Verify the checksum with
cat
command.
cat ossec-hids-2.8.1-checksum.txt
The following displays:
MD5(ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz)= c2ffd25180f760e366ab16eeb82ae382
SHA1(ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz)= 0ecf1df09558dc8bb4b6f65e1fb2ca7a7df9817c
-
Generate the MD5sum of tarball.
md5sum is a computer program that calculates and verifies 128-bit MD5 hashes. The MD5 hash (or checksum) functions as a compact digital fingerprint of a file.
md5sum ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz
The following displays:
c2ffd25180f760e366ab16eeb82ae382 ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz
This should match with the MD5 checksum in file.
-
Same will go for SHA1 as shown. SHA1 produces a 160-bit output called a message digest. Message digest can be input to a signature algorithm which generates or verifies the signature for the message. US Secure Hash Algorithm 1 is used by SHA1.
sha1sum ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz
It should give output as:
0ecf1df09558dc8bb4b6f65e1fb2ca7a7df9817c ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz
It should match with the SHA1 checksum from the file.
Install OSSEC
You can install OSSEC in many modes including server, agent, local, or hybrid mode. We'll install it in local mode.
- Expand the file.
sudo tar -zxf ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz
If you get an error for tar command type yum install tar
to install tar
.
- Change the directory to the expanded one.
cd ossec-hids-2.8.1
Initiate the installation with:
sudo ./install.sh
- When prompted, choose a language or use the default by pressing Enter.
The following displays:

Portion of the log(s):
ossec: Ossec started.
You'll receive such messages whenever a monitored event occurs.
Update Main configuration file
The main configuration file is /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf
. This file is used to configure OSSEC for additional alerts, number of emails, directories to be monitored etc.
Following steps are optional.
-
Open ossec.conf in any editor.
sudo vim /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf
- Add following line in
<global>
tag.
<email_maxperhour>N</email_maxperhour>
final code block will look like:
<global>
<email_notification>yes</email_notification>
<EMAIL_ADDRESS><smtp_server>mail.coolexample.com.</smtp_server>
<email_from>ossec@ossec_server</email_from>
<email_maxperhour>N</email_maxperhour>
</global>
-
Locate
<syscheck>
tag in same file. You can update frequency of system check by updating <frequency>
tag here. Time duration is in seconds.
<syscheck>
<!-- Frequency that syscheck is executed - default to every 22 hours -->
<frequency>79200</frequency>
-
Add following line in same
<syscheck>
tag to add alert for new files as shown.
<syscheck>
<!-- Frequency that syscheck is executed - default to every 22 hours -->
<frequency>79200</frequency>
<alert_new_files>yes</alert_new_files>
-
Locate to
<directories>
tag right after the <syscheck>
and add report_changes="yes" realtime="yes"
to each line to enable real time monitoring as shown.
<!-- Directories to check (perform all possible verifications) -->
<directories report_changes="yes" realtime="yes" check_all="yes">/etc,/usr/bin,/usr/sbin</directories>
<directories report_changes="yes" realtime="yes" check_all="yes">/bin,/sbin</directories>
-
Add following line to add
/home/user_name
and /var/www/
to be monitored.
<directories report_changes="yes" realtime="yes" restrict=".php|.js|.py|.sh|.html" check_all="yes">/home/user_name,/var/www</directories>
restrict
setting tells only to monitor specified formats.
-
Save and close the file by pressing
esc
then typing following characters following by pressing Enter.
:wq!
Add local rules
You need to modify the next file that resides in /var/ossec/rules
. In this directory ossec_rules.xml
contains OSSEC's default rule definitions and custom rules are added in local_rules.xml
.
Default rule definitions in ossec_rules.xml
file are useful to look at. You can copy and modify them in local rules.
Following steps are optional.
-
Open
/var/ossec/rules/ossec_rules.xml
in any editor, locate rule 554 and copy it.
sudo vim /var/ossec/rules/ossec_rules.xml
Rule 554 looks like:
<rule id="554" level="0" overwrite="yes">
<category>ossec</category>
<decoded_as>syscheck_new_entry</decoded_as>
<description>File added to the system.</description>
<group>syscheck,</group>
</rule>
-
Close the file by pressing the Esc key and typing :q! followed by pressing the Enter key.
:q!
-
Open
/var/ossec/rules/local_rules.xml
in any editor.
sudo vim /var/ossec/rules/local_rules.xml
- Add the rule 554 you copied from
ossec_rules.xml
and change level to 7 as shown.
<rule id="554" level="7" overwrite="yes">
<category>ossec</category>
<decoded_as>syscheck_new_entry</decoded_as>
<description>File added to the system.</description>
<group>syscheck,</group>
</rule>
- Save and close the file by pressing the Esc key and typing :wq! followed by pressing the Enter key.
:wq!
- Restart the OSSEC:
sudo /var/ossec/bin/ossec-control restart
You will get a mail when it is restarted.
Trigger file changes
When you add any file in the directory monitored by OSSEC or you update or delete a file, you should receive alerts.
You don't receive real time notification for adding a file but only for modification or deletion. Alerts of file addition go after full system check, which is handled by frequency check time in ossec.conf
.
Next Steps
This article gives you an overview of basic settings. OSSEC can be configured to one or more servers, called agents. To explore how to monitor an OSSEC agent using OSSEC server please refer to Monitor OSSEC Agents Using an OSSEC Server - Debian, Ubuntu.


It is possible to let an arrow pass through the floor. This is usefull in order to open the path from Inkwater Marsh to Kwolok's Hollow without draining the water. To do so, you want to hold Bow in order to charge an arrow (this won't work if you have the shard Quickshot equiped) and then pause the game on the frame where the arrow is shot. You can use the weapon wheel in order to both pause the game and pause buffer. To make the pause buffering easier, open the weapon wheel while holding Bow, then release Bow. Finaly, release the weapon wheel for a really short time and press it again right after.  If you prefer, you can also bind a second weapon wheel button, which can make spaming it easier.

Documents). It allows the physician to finalize (i.e. “sign”) a
document. It allows for a clinician to navigate through the
various result reporting (Lab and Rad) systems and to get a
listing of patients, either through a floor census or through a
list associates with the physician. This system is available to
both JHH and to JH-Bayview, with specific coding for each
institution. EPR Web allows access to EPR via the Web.

Interface Engine
A complex messaging
standard, HL7, for the exchange of information between systems
(patient admitted, lab result, radiology result, diet order
...). An interface engine is a sort of router - applications
which have something to say send messages to the interface
engine, it checks to see which other systems have "subscribed"
to that specific content type of the message, and forwards a
copy of the message to them. In the real world, different
vendor's systems rarely agree on all aspects of the message
formatting, so another major function of the interface engine is
to reformat messages as needed for each recipient.
Our HL7 interface engine environment spans JHH and JHBMC,
includes at least 60 clinical and administrative systems, and
delivers about 3,000,000 messages a week.

The Refactor section is significantly larger than the Implement section." --- {% include JB/setup %}
{{ page.description }}
This question frequently comes up. Developers want to refactor, but are under the impression that managers or other stakeholders will not let them.
Sometimes people ask me how to convince their managers to get permission to refactor. I can't answer that. I don't know how to convince other people. That's not my métier.
I also believe that professional programmers should make their own decisions. You don't ask permission to add three lines to a file, or create a new class. Why do you feel that you have to ask permission to refactor?
In Code That Fits in Your Head I tell the following story:
"I once led an effort to refactor towards deeper insight. My colleague and I had identified that the key to implementing a new feature would require changing a fundamental class in our code base.
"While such an insight rarely arrives at an opportune time, we wanted to make the change, and our manager allowed it.
"A week later, our code still didn’t compile.
"I’d hoped that I could make the change to the class in question and then lean on the compiler to identify the call sites that needed modification. The problem was that there was an abundance of compilation errors, and fixing them wasn’t a simple question of search-and-replace.
"My manager finally took me aside to let me know that he wasn’t satisfied with the situation. I could only concur.
"After a mild dressing down, he allowed me to continue the work, and a few more days of heroic effort saw the work completed.
"That’s a failure I don’t intend to repeat."
There's a couple of points to this story. Yes, I did ask for permission before refactoring. I expected the process to take time, and I felt that making such a choice of prioritisation should involve my manager. While this manager trusted me, I felt a moral obligation to be transparent about the work I was doing. I didn't consider it professional to take a week out of the calendar and work on one thing while the rest of the organisation was expecting me to be working on something else.
So I can understand why developers feel that they have to ask permission to refactor. After all, refactoring takes time... Doesn't it?
This may unearth the underlying assumption that prevents developers from refactoring: The notion that refactoring takes time.
As I wrote in Code That Fits in Your Head, that was a failure I didn't intend to repeat. I've never again asked permission to refactor, because I've never since allowed myself to be in a situation where refactoring would take significant time.
The reason I tell the story in the book is that I use it to motivate using the Strangler pattern at the code level. The book proceeds to show an example of that.
Migrating code to a new API by allowing the old and the new to coexist for a while is only one of many techniques for taking smaller steps. Another is the use of feature flags, a technique that I also show in the book. Martin Fowler's Refactoring is literally an entire book about how to improve code bases in small, controlled steps.
Follow the red-green-refactor checklist and commit after each green and refactor step. Move in small steps and use Git tactically.
I'm beginning to realise, though, that moving in small steps is a skill that must be explicitly learned. This may seem obvious once posited, but it may also be helpful to explicitly state it.
Whenever I've had a chance to talk to other software professionals and thought leaders, they agree. As far as I can tell, universities and coding boot camps don't teach this skill, and if (like me) you're autodidact, you probably haven't learned it either. After all, few people insist that this is an important skill. It may, however, be one of the most important programming skills you can learn.
When should you refactor? As the boy scout rule suggests: All the time.
You can, specifically, do it after implementing a new feature. As Kent Beck perhaps said or wrote: Make it work, then make it right.
How long does it take to make it right?
Perhaps you think that it takes as much time as it does to make it work.
Perhaps you think that making it right takes even more time.
If this is how much time making the code right takes, I can understand why you feel that you need to ask your manager. That's what I did, those many years ago. But what if the proportions are more like this?
Do you still feel that you need to ask for permission to refactor?
Writing code so that the team can keep a sustainable pace is your job. It's not something you should have to ask for permission to do.
"Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand."
Making the code right is not always a huge endeavour. It can be, if you've already made a mess of it, but if it's in good condition, keeping it that way doesn't have to take much extra effort. It's part of the ongoing design process that programming is.
How do you know what right is? Doesn't this make-it-work-make-it-right mentality lead to speculative generality?
No-one expects you to be able to predict the future, so don't try. Making it right means making the code good in the current context. Use good names, remove duplication, get rid of code smells, keep methods small and complexity low. Refactor if you exceed a threshold.
The purpose of keeping code in a good condition is to make future changes as easy as possible. If you can't predict the future, however, then how do you know how to factor the code?
Another Kent Beck aphorism suggests a tactic:
"for each desired change, make the change easy (warning: this may be hard), then make the easy change"
In other words, when you know what you need to accomplish, first refactor the code so that it becomes easier to achieve the goal, and only then write the code to do that.
Should you ask permission to refactor in such a case? Only if you sincerely believe that you can complete the entire task significantly faster without first improving the code. How likely is that? If the code base is already a mess, how easy is it to make changes? Not easy, and granted: That will also be true for refactoring. The difference between first refactoring and not refactoring, however, is that if you refactor, you leave the code in a better state. If you don't, you leave it in a worse state.
These decisions compound.
But what if, as Kent Beck implies, refactoring is hard? Then the situation might look like this:
Should you ask for permission to refactor? I don't think so. While refactoring in this diagram is most of the work, it makes the change easy. Thus, once you're done refactoring, you make the easy change. The total amount of time this takes may turn out to be quicker than if you hadn't refactored (compare this figure to the previous figure: they're to scale). You also leave the code base in a better state so that future changes may be easier.
There are lots of opportunities for refactoring. Every time you see something that could be improved, why not improve it? The fact that you're already looking at a piece of code suggests that it's somehow relevant to your current task. If it takes ten, fifteen minutes to improve it, why not do it? What if it takes an hour?
Most people think nothing of spending hours in meetings without asking their managers. If this is true, you can also decide to use a couple of hours improving code. They're likely as well spent as the meeting hours.
The key, however, is to be able to perform opportunistic refactoring. You can't do that if you can only move in day-long iterations; if hours, or days, go by when you can't compile, or when most tests fail.
On the other hand, if you're able to incrementally improve the code base in one-minute, or fifteen-minute, steps, then you can improve the code base every time an occasion arrives.
This is a skill that you need to learn. You're not born with the ability to improve in small steps. You'll have to practice - for example by doing katas. One customer of mine told me that they found Kent Beck's TCR a great way to teach that skill.
You can refactor in small steps. It's part of software engineering. Usually, you don't need to ask for permission.

Salim Mechant on not being paid royalties by Yash Raj Films
by BizAsia CorrespondentPopular music composer, Salim Merchant, one half of the Salim Sulaiman duo, has alleged that they have not received royalty payments for their songs by Yash Raj Films.
In a revealing interview with The Quint, Merchant said, “Yash Raj has been collecting money on behalf of the composer and lyricist — that much I know — but I don’t know whether they have paid anyone. They have certainly not paid me and Sulaiman.”
The claim was made after the Indian Performing Rights Society (IPRS) filed an FIR against Yash Raj Films on 20th November. This was down to Rs. 100 crore collected by the production giant, which is said belongs to IPRS members.
Merchant added, “I know Javed Akhtar sahab has not been paid, for sure… you know he’s not been paid. Sulaiman and I have not been paid – any royalties that have come from Yash Raj, we have not been paid.”
Adding further spice to the story, Merchant claimed that T-Series had also not cleared all of his royalty payments.
