If ever there was a perfect metaphor for the Republican party, this is it.Lake Travis was calm and there was little wind, so conditions were lovely for everyone.Almost everyone ignored the speed and distance guidelines for boating on that lake, deciding those rules didn’t apply to them.The bigger boats started speeding, circling, and generally showing off their power and size, and the wealth behind them.The smaller boats thought they were equal to the bigger boats so stayed close by.When the bigger boats started swamping the smaller boats, they did not immediately slow down, maintain distance, or offer to help.Even when rescue crews arrived, parade participants in the bigger boats made it difficult for those crews to help those where were swamped and in trouble.Or maybe, ya’ know, they just pissed off Poseidon.And just for fun…

Stone and his council realize that his trial was such an egregious example of bias and Democratic hypocrisy that, politically, it would be a shame to not make a public example of it by asking for a new trial.The revelations from the trial of General Flynn have led AG Barr to ask an outside prosecutor to review the case.And meanwhile, John Durham’s criminal probe continues to focus on Brennen and the misdeeds of other highly placed Obama administration appointees who participated in the coup against Trump and his associates.The fact that four prosecutors walked off the case when AG Barr questioned the ridiculous sentencing guidelines for Stone suggest that his case, like Flynn’s, will prove to be another example of anti-Trump vengeance and terrible injustices to people with relatively minor crimes simply because of their association with the president.In the run-up to the next election, this kind of story plays to Trump’s re-election efforts; the last thing anyone on the Right wants to see is a pardon!

Overall, you have to get into the mindset of thinking like an adversary who is trying to cause your code to fail. Whenever you decide to get the first element in a list, you need to automatically think "could the list be empty?". Whenever you start or finish writing a while loop, you need to think "is there any way this could possibly be an infinite loop?" To a large extent you'll get this with experience, but there are some ways you can make sure you build up that experience more quickly.One thing you can do to start is to use assertions and other techniques to "fail fast". This will make sure that edge cases that you have forgotten about will show up as errors that get your attention during testing, rather than silently surviving as bugs. For example, at the top of a function that reverses a list, you might want to assert that the variable is actually a list. That way, if there's an edge case somewhere else that results in the reverse function being called with null as an argument, you'll detect it more quickly.Writing unit tests can also be pretty helpful, and they also help you change your mindset toward testing and edge cases.There are certain techniques that make edge cases less likely to occur in the first place. For example, using for loops instead of while loops gives you less flexibility and therefore fewer chances to make a mistake. Writing functional style code (recursively traversing data structures, copying data instead of updating it in place, etc) generally results in fewer edge cases. If you were writing a function to sum up all the numbers in a list, you might want to make it so that it intentionally works for the base case where the list is empty and the result is zero for that case, instead of starting the sum as the first item in the list and adding the rest to it.If you really want to invest a lot of time in getting better at this in particular, the algorithm competition in Topcoder (http://www.topcoder.com/tc) has a challenge round where you look at other people's solutions to problems and get points for finding edge cases that break their solutions. Participating in that for a few months made me significantly better at thinking through edge cases.
