Yes I guess that is slightly better, but only for the two words read separately. The combination is still atmosphere.
So, German pun. Nice.

Or I can catch any exception out of the codepath I'm concerned about, examine it to see if it's one of the known set of exceptions I intend to handle, and then either do so or rethrow it.
If there's a benefit to compile-time exception checking over this method, I have to admit I don't see it. But I've also never worked deeply enough with Java to be familiar with the nuances of its exception handling, so that may be why.
Checked exceptions give you, essentially, syntactic sugar for handling just a few kinds of exceptions and re-throwing the rest.
It's useful when there are one or two error cases you want to retry or handle specially, but you want to just barf any other error up the stack. It's a specific use case but it's prevalent.
The downside is that sugar can only separate your error conditions by Java type. If everything is just an Exception, you'll have to use sort out your error cases in code.

I hand-change every file name.
Please tell me I'm an idiot and show me a better way. Lol it won't save me the hundreds of movies I've put in "Title (year).type" format, but it will save some future work.
Same here! But for me it was "Title (year in Sumerian Ur dynasty calendar).type"
The only format that stands the test of time, IMO

They didn't try very hard to train this system. It wasn't even a prototype.
- In the excerpt, Scharre describes a week during which DARPA calibrated its robot’s human recognition algorithm alongside a group of US Marines. The Marines and a team of DARPA engineers spent six days walking around the robot, training it to identify the moving human form. On the seventh day, the engineers placed the robot at the center of a traffic circle and devised a little game: The Marines had to approach the robot from a distance and touch the robot without being detected.
> Capturing in this game is a little bit goofy. Basically, if your piece overlaps the opponent's piece it is captured, and you cannot move past the first piece you overlap.
> One interesting side effect of this is that you can capture multiple pieces at once. :)
Which way is "past"? Can only knights milti-kill, since they can "jump" past the first point of contact?

What a bizarre title. Either it is, and then "sees" makes no sense, it's a proven disruptor, or it's not, and it's just armchair self-congratulatory PR speak.
It makes sense if you substitute "recognizes" for "sees". Westinghouse (well, Cameco/Brookfield Renewable) recognizes what a disruptive tech this could be, whereas others have overlooked it, maybe?
“Man on a bicycle can go three or four times faster than the pedestrian, but uses five times less energy in the process. He carries one gram of his weight over a kilometre of flat road at an expense of only 0.15 calories. The bicycle is the perfect transducer to match man’s metabolic energy to the impedance of locomotion. Equipped with this tool, man outstrips the efficiency of not only all machines but all other animals as well.
What about uphill or uneven terrain. going downhill on bike is very efficient too. You can test this by rolling a ball down even a slight grade. Yes, in artificial conditions bikes are better.
Or through water?
