The benefits of a codebase refactoring apply throughout the codebase. Unfortunately, so do the costs: often a large number of repairs must be made as a result of the refactoring. As codebases grow, it becomes infeasible to do all the repairs at one time. The repairs must be done gradually, and the programming language must make that possible.
As a simple example, when we moved
in 2009, the
Ndegree 21 Sneakers Sand dOGTDm
moved two files, adjusted three makefiles, and repaired 43 other Go source files. The repairs outweighed the actual API change by a factor of twenty, and the entire codebase was only 250 files. As codebases grow, so does the repair multiplier. Similar changes in large Go codebases, such as Docker, and Juju, and Kubernetes, can have repair multipliers ranging from 10X to 100X. Inside Google we've seen repair multipliers well over 1000X.
The conventional wisdom is that when making a codebase-wide API change, the API change and the associated code repairs should be committed together in one big commit:
The argument in favor of this approach, which we will call "atomic code repair," is that it is conceptually simple: by updating the API and the code repairs in the same commit, the codebase transitions in one step from the old API to the new API, without ever breaking the codebase. The atomic step avoids the need to plan for a transition during which both old and new API must coexist. In large codebases, however, the conceptual simplicity is quickly outweighed by a practical complexity: the one big commit can be very big. Big commits are hard to prepare, hard to review, and are fundamentally racing against other work in the tree. It's easy to start doing a conversion, prepare your one big commit, finally get it submitted, and only then find out that another developer added a use of the old API while you were working. There were no merge conflicts, so you missed that use, and despite all your effort the one big commit broke the codebase. As codebases get larger, atomic code repairs become more difficult and more likely to break the codebase inadvertently.

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2012 Season Review
The Canterbury-Bankstown club was always expected to improve under the guidance of Des Hasler, but even the most ardent Bulldogs fans would not have expected the side to come within ten points of a record-breaking premiership victory.
After kicking the season off unofficially with a trail at their spiritual home of Belmore, the Bulldogs made a stumbling start to their campaign, dropping a series of games in the first ten rounds to be in the lower half of the top eight, before embarking on a stunning 12-match winning run during the Origin period. One of the benefits of having a relative no-name squad (at least before their brilliant season) was that only one player, Josh Morris, was missing for State of Origin duty, and with two byes before Origin matches, the impact was so minimal that the club was able to breeze through the period with few troubles - and lots of competition points.

David Bates: Senate Republicans are about to gut NH's voter ID law
It appears that the reports of good news from early last week, that attempts to gut the new voter ID law had failed, were premature. Senate Republicans are preparing to give in to Democrat efforts to weaken the law, which requires voters to prove who they are before they can vote.
The Legislature worked for more than a decade to pass a law requiring voters to show a photo ID when seeking to vote in New Hampshire. Last term, we finally passed a law that was carefully crafted to phase in over two years so the implementation would be as trouble-free as humanly possible. To the surprise of all the naysayers who predicted massive chaos at the polls, there was essentially no problem with the new ID requirement and not a single person was denied the right to vote as a result of it.
However, the requirements of the new law allowed us to discover that in the presidential election many thousands of people voted without showing proof of their identity. People without necessary documents in their possession at the polls are allowed to vote simply by signing an affidavit swearing to their identity and/or qualification to vote. The secretary of state and the attorney general are required to follow up on those people to verify that they were legitimate, qualified voters.
When verification letters were sent out, 1,784 were returned undeliverable! Additionally, 2,473 votes were cast in the names of people who failed to confirm that they had voted. The attorney general is supposed to be investigating these 4,257 people, but so far, we know nothing about those investigations. More than half a year has passed since the election, but to date the attorney general has reported nothing about those who voted without proof of who they are.
Now, not knowing how many of those 4,257 undocumented voters may have been fraudulent, and without any compelling reason, the Legislature is about to make several changes that will weaken the law to the point of uselessness.
The main focal point of the debate seems to have been whether student IDs should be an acceptable form of photo identification. I could be wrong, but my guess is that pressure over this provision is what may be causing the Republican senators to do an about face on the law they passed last year. I never would have guessed that public education failed these students so badly that (in the very unlikely event that they do not possess an acceptable photo ID) they would be incapable of signing their name to an affidavit like every other voter. Go figure.
All the hullabaloo over student IDs is a farce anyway because another change they are about to make gives election officials the authority to accept ANY photo ID they determine "to be legitimate" even though no criteria is provided regarding what is legitimate. Basically moderators and supervisors of the checklist can accept anything they want, thereby guaranteeing that New Hampshire will not have a uniform standard across the state for all voters. If accepting virtually anything with a picture on it is not ridiculous enough, these election officials will also have the authority to effectively waive the photo ID requirement altogether by vouching for the voter's identity themselves. So some people will be asked to show an ID while others won't have to. Really fair, huh?
Finally, the secretary of state's idea to take a picture of anyone who votes without showing ID is being put on hold. We adopted this plan in the law because it offered the only chance of identifying an unknown, undocumented person who votes fraudulently. With this provision put on hold for two years, the senators all but guarantee that it never goes into effect. There have already been efforts to repeal this requirement, and they will continue next year. Next time, however, they will be able to scare legislators with the prospect of disrupting New Hampshire's presidential primary. That would be a foolish time to implement a significant change to election procedures. That is why we designed the current law with the time table it has. If people are getting soft on voter ID requirements now, there is little doubt that they will give in to those arguments next time around.
If the short-lived voter ID law is crippled this week, take note of those who did so by voting for HB 595.
David Bates, a Windham Republican, is former chairman of the House Election Law Committee.

Manchester raid came 8 months after home invasionBy KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
August 29. 2014 10:02PM
MANCHESTER — One of the four residents arrested on federal charges Wednesday following a drug raid that resulted in a person being shot by police also was the victim of an alleged home invasion in January.
Manchester police found Johanna Nunez and an acquaintance bound in handcuffs inside her 495 Old Wellington Road apartment Jan. 4, court records said. The two said two men pretending to be police officers stole $1,000, a 9-mm Glock pistol and other items. The home invasion remains unsolved.
Johanna Nunez, Jennifer Nunez, Samuel Garcia and Raul A. Hernandez were arrested Wednesday on charges of possession with intent to distribute and conspiracy to distribute oxycodone. Federal complaints were obtained Thursday along with a police affidavit.
The four are being held by U.S. Marshal's office pending detention and preliminary hearings in U.S. District Court in Concord next week.
Lillian Nunez was shot while investigators were executing a federal search warrant Wednesday night at her apartment at 110 Beech St., Apt. 3. Nunez's wound is not life threatening. She is not charged in connection with alleged oxycodone distribution ring.
The state Attorney General's Office is investigating the incident, which is standard in all officer-involved shootings.
The four arrests were the result of an investigation that began last October and involved alleged undercover drug purchases using confidential sources, surveillance and wiretaps, according to the affidavit police filed in support of the complaints.

At the beginning of 2011, when holidaying in the northeast of Scotland, a brand new dream was born. Over dinner at the Ryan family seat in Beauly, together with Justin's sister Colette, their mum Claire, and Colette's husband Alan Pemberton, we talked first of absent friends and then of our plans for the year ahead.
Relaxing into the family vibe, conversation turned to the little things in life that make us tick: Holidays, work, food and design. As we chatted, an expensive scented candle flickered gently at the centre of the table. An aromatic delight purchased in an exclusive London boutique, we remarked on its aroma which gently suffused the atmosphere with clean, fresh "notes." As the wine flowed, conversation turned to the candle's price tag — just shy of £60 ($97). With a burn time of just 25 hours, we started to do the math. Sure the scent was lovely, but economics detracted from its aromatic charm.
As the candle waxed and waned, the cogs of potential started to roll. Wouldn't it be nice to bring to the market a range of candles with a fairer price point and a longer burn time? Could we chart demand and then establish a business model to satisfy the needs of consumers who demand top-quality products without the associated costs? Hmm ...
Back in our respective cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, we set the wheels of research in motion. Colette and Alan's business minds scoured the Internet to assess competition, while we story-boarded packaging, style and aromas. A true cottage industry venture, we became collectively excited at the prospect of bringing to the market a range of candles that would deliver value and quality in equal measure.
Calling in product from all over the country, it soon transpired that Alan has a remarkable "nose" and, while Colette researched legal issues and ancillary costs, her husband coordinated trials to establish olfactory combos with optimum appeal. In their studio, the oils of bergamot, grapefruit, ylang ylang and others were assessed in various cocktails. Lavender notes punched through the air and danced with patchouli and lime, as basil and lemon pairings made their mark on Alan's aromatically inclined brain.
After months of trials, multiple creative meetings (many by Skype from Toronto) and dozens of prototypes, we've finally settled on the combinations we can now reveal. For ease, each candle is available in two sizes; the large container and boutique. High-volume sales and colossal turnover are much less important to us than top quality, environmentally sound manufacture. Our output, we hope, will grow, but in the meantime "small, but perfectly formed" is where we're at. We promise to deliver luxurious candles, each lovingly manufactured from essential oils and environmentally sound soy wax with burn times between 40 and 50 hours. Every C&J Home candle is hand-poured by our family and made with love and a warm Scottish smile.
• Lime & Lavender
We've mixed the relaxing woody tones of lavender — one of the world's most popular aromas — with a dramatic undercurrent of zesty lime to create a heady fusion scent that will lift and invigorate. Stimulating to the max, our Double L combo is fresh, clean and romantic — just what you need to lift your spirits in an often stressful world. Clinical studies suggest that lavender has a meaningful effect on alleviating anxiety and improving sleep quality, all of which could mean de-stressing and wonderful slumbers.
• Orange & Patchouli
We've layered waves of sweet, zesty orange with subtle hints of patchouli to create a balanced scent pairing that will freshen your home or work environment. Combining classic citrus tang with patchouli's sensual, earthy aroma is, as far as we're concerned, an aromatic coup de grace and one that will cut through and lighten even the darkest atmosphere. History fans among you may be interested to learn that Queen Victoria added fresh patchouli to her linen chests as she traversed the globe on royal duties. Wow! Packed by royalty and now repackaged for you, by us. You know it makes sense.
• Bergamot, May Chang & Grapefruit
May chang oil, when carefully distilled, expounds a deliciously fresh, invigorating bouquet. Known as Mountain Pepper in Mandarin, may chang's revered lemony perfume is utterly uplifting and composed with spicy, invigorating notes. We've played the peppery package alongside hints of aromatic bergamot (best known as a scenting ingredient in Earl Grey tea) to unleash optimum air freshening quality. Subsequent layering with cleansing, decongestant grapefruit is the final strategy in our seductive three-point cocktail.
• Cedarwood & Rosemary
By combining the incense-like woodiness of soothing, luxurious cedar with the fresh pine undercurrent of rosemary, we've fashioned a luxurious, heady aroma to help combat the stresses and strains of everyday life. Cedar's woody-balsamic hints will tempt relaxation, while the uplifting effects of rosemary may assist in energy balance and aura cleansing.
• Scots Pine
Capturing the spirit of the Highlands, our Scots Pine scented candle evokes woody, rolling hills and deep water lochs. Imagine Robert Burns waxing lyrical about the joys of nature: he's sitting in a whitewashed northern cottage and his imagination is running free. The very essence of Scotland, this lovingly prepared scent is rugged, grand and heady, so light the wick and enjoy relaxing ambience as it swirls around your home.

Millions of dollars in penalties slapped on some of the world's biggest banks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., by U.S. regulators are the result of policing powers established after the 2001 collapse of Enron Corp.
Within the past month, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, acting on recommendations from a 200-person enforcement unit assembled in the past three years, proposed fines on Barclays Plc and Deutsche Bank AG for manipulating energy trades. The agency this week revoked J.P. Morgan Ventures Energy Corp.'s right to trade power for six months next year -- the first such sanction for an active market participant.
"I wouldn't say that we're picking on the banks," FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff said in an interview. "We're going after anybody who's involved in manipulative or fraudulent activity in these markets."
FERC didn't always wield such muscle. Its authority expanded after the California power crisis of 2000-2001, when Enron traders' actions triggered rolling blackouts. In 2005 Congress enacted a sweeping energy law that gave the FERC the ability to go after fraud and manipulation. It also gave the agency the authority to impose fines as high as $1 million a day for those who tamper with electric-grid reliability.
'Build Up'
The FERC enforcement unit is led by Norman Bay, a former U.S. attorney in New Mexico, and includes a former general counsel for the Federal Bureau of Investigation as well as about 40 analysts who focus on market-manipulation violations.
"A lot of people think you put a law in place and you're ready to go the next day," Wellinghoff said in a Nov. 7 interview. "Unfortunately it's not quite like that. It takes a substantial period of time to build up a team and to build up the expertise and the resources necessary to utilize the tools that Congress gave us."
Researching cases also takes time, and much of the office's efforts in recent years are now coming to fruition. Since January 2011, the FERC announced 11 cases of alleged market manipulation in the electricity and natural gas markets, and this year settled with Constellation Energy Group Inc. for $245 million.
The cases have been developed over years. Barclays' alleged violations, which drew a proposed record fine on Oct. 31, took place from 2006 to 2008. Barclays, which said its trading complied with the law, has vowed to fight the $469.9 million penalty.

DENVER Just as an emotional debate about gun rights is winding down at the state Capitol, Democrats are ready to take on another big target: the gas and oil industry.
The effort puts them on a collision course with the states top Democrat, Gov. John Hickenlooper.
Democrats in the Legislature have introduced six bills this month with more on the way to tighten environmental standards on the industry.
The Legislature passed tougher environmental laws in 2006, but that was before a shale drilling boom brought thousands of Front Range suburbanites into close contact with the industry.
Longmont and Fort Collins have banned hydraulic fracturing in their city limits, which has drawn them into a lawsuit against the state.
Hickenlooper maintains that the industry has a good safety record, and it should be regulated by the state, not cities or counties.
Democrats have not yet introduced a bill to assert local control over gas and oil drilling. But they have taken tentative steps to begin a crackdown on the industry.
Their first bill raises minimum fines for violations reported to the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to $15,000 a day. The current minimum is $1,000 a day.
Bruce Baizel of the Oil and Gas Accountability Project in Durango testified at the bills first hearing Thursday.
The efficient and fair use of penalties plays a key role in punishing violators, Baizel said. In comparison to other states, Colorados fines are weak.
The House Transportation and Energy Committee passed the bill 8-5.
Rep. Perry Buck of Windsor and all four other Republicans opposed it.
I think going from $1,000 to $15,000 is very harsh, Buck said.
But the true battle over the slate of bills is not likely to be Democrats against Republicans. Rather, its legislative Democrats versus the Democratic executive branch.
Thursday afternoon, a Senate panel voted 3-2 for a bill to add about 65 employees to the COGCC nearly doubling its staff so it can inspect every gas and oil well in the state at least once a year.
But the Hickenlooper administration has asked for only five new employees and does not support the bill.
Energy industry groups also oppose the added inspectors.
Stan Dempsey, president of the Colorado Petroleum Association, said legislators are trying to usurp the COGCC, which has the expertise to regulate the industry.
The industry doesnt rely on inspectors. Inspections are just one tool in the regulators toolbox. But more importantly, the industry holds itself to very high standards, Dempsey said.
The industrys critics, however, point to examples such as a developing problem near Parachute Creek, near Rifle, where a plume of hydrocarbons has been spreading from near a gas processing plant. The source of the pollution still hasnt been identified.
Democrats have other gas and oil bills that would:
Levy a tax on energy companies to pay for local government employees who monitor the industry.
Forbid COGCC commissioners from being employed by the energy industry, and refocus the commissions main mission on environmental protection.
Require sellers to disclose whether someone else owns the mineral rights under their property.
Study the health effects of oil and gas development along the Front Range.
Even more controversial bills are on the way, if Democrats try to increase the 500-foot buffer zone between wells and homes that the COGCC adopted early this year.

The unemployment rate only includes people who don't have jobs and are looking for work. A much larger swath of people — about 36 percent of U.S. adults — don't have jobs and aren't looking for work at all. That figure is higher than it's been in decades (and, conversely, the share of adults in the labor force — shown in the graph above — is lower than it's been in decades).
Here are four reasons why so many people are leaving the labor force.
1. They're retiring.
The baby boomers are hitting retirement age. Even if the job market were in good shape, that alone would be enough to drive up the share of adults who aren't looking for work.
2. They're going to college.
College enrollment is up — and many students are having a hard time finding part-time work. A 20-year-old student named Jeannett Llave told me the last job she applied for was working at the American Girl doll store in New York. "I thought I was perfectly fine and capable of taking care of little girls and, like, just giving them a doll," she told me.
She didn't get the job — and she decided to give up looking and focus on her anatomy class. Because it's been more than a month since Llave looked for a job, she's not counted as part of the labor force.
3. They're staying home with the kids.
In the 1970s and '80s, the labor force participation rate rose sharply, as it became more common for mothers to work. Some of the recent decline has come as parents in dual-income households decide that the cost of day care outweighs the benefits of work.
I talked to one stay-at-home dad who worked in a newsprint factory in Columbia, Mo., making $9 an hour. Now, his wife works as a doctor and he stays home with his 7-year-old daughter.
4. They just can't find work.
"I think at last count I had sent out like 185 resumes or responded to 185 actual openings," Terri Meier, who used to work in human resources at Sony, told me. "And of that, I've gotten two opportunities where I actually went to a live interview."
Meier has been out of work for three years, and she's what the Labor Department calls "marginally attached" to the labor force. Because she hasn't actively looked for a job in the last four weeks, she's not counted among the unemployed.
But she wants to work, and she's looked for a job in the past year. Some 2.5 million Americans fit this description.
Now, when we talk about the unemployment rate, we're really talking about the people who want jobs, are looking for them but don't have them. There's a whole other category not included in the unemployment rate - about 36 percent of adults in the United States are not looking for jobs at all. They've dropped out of the labor force. Lisa Chow from NPR's Planet Money team introduces us to some of them.
LISA CHOW, BYLINE: It sounds pretty scary when you see the numbers - nearly 90 million people old enough to work are not working. The percentage of adults not in the workforce has grown at an unprecedented rate since the recession. But when you break down the numbers, it's not quite as alarming as it might seem. Lots of people have a pretty good reason for not working. It's called retirement.
DIXIE SUMMERS: Right now I'm at Dyke Marsh, which is a wonderful place. It's a nature preserve that the National Park Service runs.
CHOW: I catch Dixie Summers(ph) on her cell phone. Instead of poring over jobs numbers - Summers used to work for the U.S. Labor Department - she's now spending her days doing what she loves, bird watching along the Potomac River in Virginia. She's 64 and a baby boomer and it's this group that's inflated the percentage of people not looking for work.
So we've got demographics driving some people out of the workforce. Here's another reason.
JEANNETT LLAVE: I always kind of saw myself going to school.
CHOW: Jeannett Llave is a student at a community college in New York. It turns out since the recession young people have dropped out of the workforce at an incredibly fast pace. Now, that could be because instead of working they're staying in school longer, but it could also have something to do with the fact that students like Llave, a 20-year-old with no work experience, can't find part-time work even when they try. So they stop trying.
Earlier in the summer, Llave applied for a job at a store that sells dolls.
LLAVE: I didn't get the job. I thought I was perfectly fine and capable of taking care of little girls and like just giving them a doll. Not to be too pretentious, but it's like it doesn't seem that hard of a job to get into.
CHOW: Llave illustrates that there's a fine line between being unemployed and being outside the labor force. And here's where the numbers get a little tricky. Had Llave applied for her job in the last four weeks, she would technically be counted as unemployed, increasing by just the tiniest amount the unemployment rate. But because she stopped looking for a job to focus on her anatomy class, she's not counted.
Now here's our third reason someone gave up work.
EVIE BYERS: Sometimes we play with Cotton, our guinea pig.
CHOW: Evie Byers(ph) is seven and she didn't give up a job, but her father did.
MICHAEL BYERS: My name is Michael Byers. I'm a stay-at-home dad and have been for five, almost six years now.
CHOW: Byers used to work at a newspaper factory in Columbia, Missouri, making $9 an hour, and he did what lots of people do when they have kids; he looked at how much he was making, how much daycare costs, weighed how much he enjoyed his job and decided in the end it wasn't worth it. I asked Byers if he thinks there's a job available for him now.
M. BYERS: I don't think so. Like I don't think they've hired in years at that factory. And then down here, where we're at now, there's a lot of immigrant labor, and I mean I guess Wal-Mart is always hiring. I could work Wal-Mart.
CHOW: Byers is lucky his wife has a job as a doctor. And finally, we meet Terri Meier, who used to work in human resources at Sony.
TERRI MEIER: I think at last count I had sent out like 185 resumes or responded to 185 actual openings. And of that I've gotten two opportunities where I actually went to a live interview.
CHOW: Meier has been out of work for three years and the Labor Department might describe her as marginally attached to the labor force. She's not part of the labor force, not counted as unemployed, but she wants a job and has been looking, just not recently. Retirees, students, parents, they all have pretty normal reasons for leaving the workforce, even though a bad economy can still affect their decisions about when to leave or return to work.
Still, it's really this last kind of person who's most alarming to economists. Two and a half million Americans are like Terri Meier. They've given up for the time being. Not to go bird watching, but because they've been looking for a job for so long. Lisa Chow, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Reid's rules: A Senate run by fiat
July 16. 2013 5:22PM
"We are a nation of laws," President Obama said after the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial this past weekend. Except when the President and other elected officials don't like the laws or the rules that constrain their power. Then we're a nation subject to the whims of those who govern us.
On Tuesday, Republicans in the U.S. Senate agreed to confirm some of President Obama's executive branch nominees in response to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's threat to change the Senate rules so that presidential nominations to the executive branch could not be filibustered.
The Senate is "broken," Reid said, so that justifies such extreme measures. Except, it does not. A) the Senate is not broken, as this deal and other deals in the last several years show. B) As Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., pointed out, the Senate rules require a two-thirds vote of the Senate to approve any rule change, and Reid's plan to change the rules by a simple majority vote equaled running the Senate by fiat.
"I want to change the rule, but not by fiat, not by breaking a rule which says that it takes two thirds of the Senate to end debate on a rules change," Levin told Politico.
One concession Republicans got in this deal was the withdrawal of two Obama nominees for the National Labor Relations Board — Sharon Block and Richard Griffin — who were appointed to the board unconstitutionally. (The President renominated them after a federal court struck down his appointment of them.) The other is Harry Reid's word that he won't violate Senate rules on future nominations. It's clear what that is worth. The ruling party's rule-breaking and lawbreaking continues to be rewarded.
