Creeping Mall- ism in my neighborhood, Boston's North End
In my neighborhood, we have within a 5 to 10 minute walk, two Dunkin' Donuts, a Starbucks , a Peet's Coffee, a Thinking Cup coffee shop, Caffe dello Sport coffee shop, Caffe Vittoria coffee shop, Caffe Paradiso coffee shop, plus Mike's Pastry, Modern Pastry, and Maria's Pastry all offer coffee to their patrons. Within my immediate neighborhood, we have My Cousin's Place that offers coffee to its patrons. We have TWO Seven Elevens within TWO blocks of each other that also offer coffee to its patrons
Starbucks wants to put another coffee shop at the entry to Boston's North End. Why? The North End's coffee needs are amply met.
WE DON'T WANT ANOTHER STARBUCKS. WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER STARBUCKS.
From my neighbor, Dave G.:
"Just for the record, there are already 6 Starbucks within a short walk from the proposed NE location: Atlantic Av, Long Wharf, State St, Broad St, two in Govt Center, and one soon to open right across the Greenway in Fanueil Hall! Hopefully the City will do the right thing and deny them a take-out license, which will force Starbucks to break the lease they've already signed."
PS. This neighborhood is called The North End, not "Li'l Italy, or Little Italy." This neighborhood has been called The North End since Colonial times. We don't want to be renamed "Little Italy.
We are The North End!

Anthony Kennedy's son was Trump's moneylender at Deutsche Bank
Here's another line you can draw on your conspiracy board: Retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy has a connection to Germany's Deutsche Bank, which has been suspected of allowing Russian money laundering and is President Trump's biggest known lender,
The New York Times reports. While the Trump administration has waged a long campaign to encourage Kennedy to retire — a not uncommon practice among presidents, as all are eager to fill Supreme Court vacancies — the Trumps and the Kennedys already had a long history of working together:
Philip Gourevitch ✔ @PGourevitch oh look — Justice Kennedy's son was Trump's money lender when others wouldn't touch him —
President Trump's glowing reference to Justice Kennedy's son at his address to Congress was apparently an attempt to remind the judge of their connection. As the Times suggests, Trump's months of praise of the senior Kennedy was all part of a campaign to assure him "that his judicial legacy would be in good hands should he step down at the end of the court's term that ended this week."
North Korea has increased nuclear production at secret sites, say U.S. officials
Work is ongoing to deceive us on the number of facilities, the number of weapons, the number of missiles," said one U.S. official.
Trump declares North Korea 'no longer a nuclear threat'
Trump supporters still happily believe in Trump's lies.
Saps.
The Mentally Diseased and Deranged POTUS
Doesn't President Porn Star Shagger understand that every attack he's made on the media has been captured on video for everyone to see and hear?
He's called journalists America's worst enemies (worse than ISIS, North Korea, Al Qaeda?). That means he believes Americans who do their jobs are America's worst enemies.
And his supporters are okay with this
Trump said, "Before going any further, I'd like to address the horrific shooting that took place yesterday at Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis, Maryland. This attack shocked the conscience of our nation and filled our hearts with grief. Journalists, like all Americans, should be free from the fear of being violently attacked while doing their job. "
Srsly? President Porn Star Shagger actually uttered those words without the slightes bit of irony. The man who's been advocating violence against journalist since 2015 had the onions to pretend he gives a flying donut about what happened to them in Maryland.
Trump is first and foremost a lying sack of manure and is not to be believed anytime his lips are moving. Also, when Trump pretends concern over the shooting deaths of journalists after encouraging people to detest and dehumanize them, he does not deserve our polite attention; he deserves this:
TRUMP SUPPORTERS:
Trump and his supporters advocate killing Americans who do their jobs.
NRA spokesworman, Dana Louche, had some choice fascist words to say about journalists -- y'know, the people who write about what the NRA promotes, weapons that kill 33,000 Americans each year:
NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch said journalists 'need to be curb-stomped', in resurfaced footage'They are the rat bastards of the earth. They are the boil on the backside of American politics,'
And in case you didn't know or have forgotten, here's the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, joking about shooting reporters:
"Texas Gov. Greg Abbott joked about shooting reporters while visiting a gun range and carrying a target sheet with bullet holes in it. As he was holding the bullet-ridden target, Abbott allegedly said, "I'm gonna carry this around in case I see any reporters," according to the Texas Tribune."
Yes. This really happened:
Trump has on many occasions called the media, and specifically the press, "America's biggest enemy."
Today 5 people were shot to death at a newspaper facility.
Their blood is on Trump.
Here's one of Trump's biggest supporters:
Milo Yiannopoulos Encourages Vigilantes to Start 'Gunning Journalists Down'
By Davis Richardson • 06/26/18 12:32pm
Right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos. MARK GRAHAM/AFP/Getty Images.
Milo Yiannopoulos has started issuing reporters threatening messages when asked to comment for stories.
"I can't wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight," the right-wing nationalist told Observer over text message, in response to a longer feature in development about an Upper East Side restaurant he is said to frequent.
Milo Yiannopoulos said reporters should be 'gunned down on sight' shortly before Annapolis newsroom shooting
On Tuesday, this Trumpista asshole encouraged his crazy-ass followers to kill journalists. Two days later, his wish came true in Maryland.
Inciting murder?
The Trumpistas went nuts over what Rep. Maxine Waters said about heckling people who worked in the Trump administration, but they won't open their hypocritical maws about this murder that was incited by a Trump supporter.
These are the people who've become emboldened under the leadership of President Porn Star Shagger:
U.S.NORTH CAROLINA GOP PRIMARY WINNER SAYS GOD IS A WHITE SUPREMACIST, JEWS ARE SATANIC
Although the local GOP distanced itself from this white supremacist anti-Semite, he still felt confident in advertising his bigotry, and conservatives in his district happily voted for him.
Never forget that President Spanky told America and the world that Nazis are "nice people." We shouldn't be surprised when people like Russell Walker crawl out of their local sewer to identify themselves as Republicans and then run for local political office.
We've read on conservative blogs anti-Semite sentiments very similar to the rot Walker is touting as good Republican values.
Old saying: "A fish stinks from the head." And we all know who the head of the Republican Party is:
Neo-Nazi Arthur Jones wins Republican nomination for Illinois congressional seat
Neo-Nazi and Holocaust denier Arthur Jones won the Republican nomination for the 3rd Congressional District in Illinois.
Jones will seek to unseat Rep. Dan Lipinski, who won a narrow victory over Marie Newman in Tuesday's Democratic primary.
The state GOP has denounced Jones and says it will try to field an independent to run.
Why do you suppose these neo-Nazis feel so very comfortable with the current Republican Party that, BTW, has to keep distancing itself from these anti-Semite bigots?
Could it be something President Porn Star Shagger encourages in them? HMMMMMM?
REMINDER: This video is not from Nazi Germany, it was recorded two months ago -- April 2018 -- in Trump's America:

Throw her lying ass out of any restaurant where decent people gather.
The embarrassing creep who mocked an American hero, POW, and disabled journalist...
now whining about the incivility of people who oppose him?
Cry me a river, President Porn Star Shagger and your disgusting cultists.
h/t to Infidel753 for the John Pavlovitz's excellent post:
So Now You Want Civility?
Dear #Resisters,
The Porn Star Shagging Liar currently defiling the Oval Office does not deserve civility. He and his cultists deserve our contempt and revulsion.
The good news is that there are more of us than them, and they will not prevail.
Chase RobertFollow
Well it's exciting to finally see this administration creating business in the USA. The Red Hen is booked solid for almost a month.
We all need to be like the owner of The Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia.
Stephanie Wilkinson politely asked Huckabee Sanders to leave her restaurant because her sense of human decency would not allow her and her staff to cater to a woman who, by repeating slanders and lies from Trump and his regime, perpetuates the ongoing debasement of American democracy.
Brava for her and all who continue to RESIST! the evil that is Trump and his miserable tyranny-by-minority presidency.
Jason Sattler of USAToday:
Once you realize that nothing you can say will stop Trump from running a propaganda campaign against immigrants that invites comparisons to Hitler's early attacks on Jews, you have to ask yourself what you want to do about it. [...]
You can pretend that all of these things aren't happening in your name. Or you can do what the owner of the Red Hen in Lexington, Virginia, did. She surveyed her staff, several of whom are gay, and decided to politely ask Sanders to leave.
Goldie Taylor of The Daily Beast:
This administration has been engaged in the mass incarceration of children, some as young as three months old. Now, it now has plans to house tens of thousands of detainees on our nation's military bases. Trump also says he wants to get rid of due process for those who come to our borders seeking asylum, ending one of the foundational civil liberties that separates this country from authoritarian nations. Who thinks he would stop with asylum seekers?
There should be a public price to pay for that. There should be a price to pay for propping up and supporting this president's virulently racist policies and plans.
The public price should be shaming, shunning, and most important, kicking their fascist arses out of office in November.
Continue the Resistance against Trump's tyranny and his supporters' stupidity.
Here is the Trump cultists' hero, advocating shredding the U.S. Constitution:
via jobsanger
Here's President Porn Star Shagger showing the world what a powerful leader he is:
THE UNITED STATES OF FASCISM UNDER TRUMP
The Trump Regime ripped children from their parents and placed them in detention camps; and while in those camps, they are forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag in English "to show respect."
To show respect for a country that kidnapped them and placed them in internment camps away from their parents -- the country that took no precautions to have those babies and children returned to their parents, from whom they may be separated for weeks, months, years, maybe even forever, since there is no identification process in place to reunite children and parents.
The innocent are supposed to "respect" a country that does that to them.
Sickening (from Business Insider):
Migrant children are being forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in shelters after authorities separated them from their parents.
The children are forced to recite the pledge in English every morning "out of respect."
This is occurring at Casa Padre, the country's largest shelter for migrant children, which gained attention for its cramped sleeping quarters and dehumanizing practices.
"Let me make sure I have this straight: babies and children who have done nothing wrong are being ripped away from their parents, locked in cages, and being forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in front of murals of Donald Trump, but the biggest crisis of today is 'civility'?" --Julia Conley, staff writer, Common Dreams
Trump calls for fundamentally changing U.S. Constitution
Remember when the 30 percenters screamed at anyone who would listen that President Obama was "shredding the Constitution?"
Now their cult leader, Preznit Porn Star Shagger actually told the American people and the world that he'd like to shred the U.S. Constitution, and his cultists are silent.
Trump advocates depriving undocumented immigrants of due-process rights
"...Trump's attack on the due-process rights of immigrants follows a week in which he has been fixated on the immigration court system, which he has called "ridiculous." The president has balked at proposals from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and other lawmakers to add court personnel to help process more immigration cases. Democrats and immigrant rights advocates sought to shame Trump for saying he wants to deny illegal immigrants their due-process rights. "
America rules by law," tweeted Rep. Gerald Connolly, D-Va., "not by presidential diktat."
Omar Jadwat, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Immigrants' Rights Project, said in a statement:"What President Trump has suggested here is both illegal and unconstitutional. Any official who has sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution and laws should disavow it unequivocally."
And at least one Republican lawmaker spoke out against Trump's threat. Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, a libertarian-leaning Republican who has often criticized the president, responded to the controversy by quoting the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.
"No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law," Amash tweeted."
Trump cultists are okay with Preznit Porn Star Shagger fundamentally changing America by disregarding the Constitution's guarantee of due process for everyone.
Scholars, activists blast Trump tweets ripping due process for undocumented immigrants
"The Constitution could get in the way of Trump's plans to cut legal corners, says legal scholar Carl Tobias, a professor at the University of Richmond School of Law.
"Congressional legislation and the Constitution mandate due process for the people Trump mentions," Tobias told USA TODAY. "
Congress would need to legislate what Trump says he wants, and this seems unlikely. Even were Congress to pass legislation, federal courts would probably find that it violates the Constitution." Trump drew outrage after his tweet Sunday that "when somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came." Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, emphatically agreed with Tobias that Trump's plan is illegal and unconstitutional.
"Any official who has sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution and laws should disavow it unequivocally," Jadwat said. Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations, called Trump's tweet an "affront to our values" and said all Americans should be outraged.
"This clear call for an end to the constitutionally guaranteed right to due process is symptomatic of an administration that disdains both the Constitution and our judicial system,"
TRUMP HAS TURNED HIS BACK ON EVERY FUNDAMENTAL AMERICAN VALUE --Washington Post editorial
Donald Trump Will Solve Immigration Crisis By Getting Rid Of Pesky Constitution
It's Friday...
I'll be in the great state of Maine for the weekend, but I'll leave you with this thought from Charlie Pierce, because he always speaks truth to power; and, in these times, it is depraved power headed by a degenerate, morally diseased POTUS:
Pierce:
The president* is gleefully indulging in inhumane practices that would shame a cockroach.. His idea of a "compromise" is a bill that keeps families together in detention camps and funds his stupid boondoggle of a wall. He's going out of his way to snipe at political opponents who already are dead. He is a fool and a coward, and he's sounding like he's half-mad.
Pierce, June 22, 2018
"The country's head is clearing. The country's vision is coming back into focus and it can see for the first time the length and breadth of the damage it has done to itself. The country is hearing the voices that the cacophony of fear and anger had drowned out for almost three years. The spell, such as it was, and in most places, may be wearing off at last. The hallucinatory effect of a reality-show presidency* is dispersing like a foul, smoky mist over a muddy battlefield.
The migrant crisis is going to go down through history as one of the most destructive series of own-goals in the history of American politics. The establishment of the "zero-tolerance" policy made the child-nabbing inevitable. The president*'s own rhetoric—indeed, the raison d'etre of his entire campaign—trapped him into at first defending the indefensible and then abandoning what was perhaps the only consistent policy idea he ever had—outside of enriching himself and his family, that is. Then the cameras began to roll, and the nation's gorge began to rise, and the president* couldn't stand the pressure that was mounting around him.
Of course, because he knows nothing about anything, including how to actually be president*, he bungled even his own abject surrender. He's spent the days since signing his executive order railing against what he felt compelled to do and arguing against himself and losing anyway. "
Getting away from the horror of the Trump presidency:
WTF?????
I checked several sites, including Snopes, to find out if this is true. It is! WTF???
My friend Vicki wrote this: · Look—you don't wear a jacket like this if you don't intend to send a subliminal, or blatantly overt (for that matter), message. Of all the clothing she has and with all the money she has, she could have worn ANYTHING other than this jacket. This is a big "fuck you" to people who actually care about the issue.
President Porn Star Shagger said the message on Melania's tasteless jacket is for the "fake" media. FLOTUS wore it on her way to see children held in detention camps. The jacket had no reference to media. FLOTUS appears to be as callous and stupid as her monstrously stupid husband.
How many jackets does the wife of a billionaire own? And why did she wear this one on her way to visit children in her husband's detention camps?
"FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS" -- President John Adams
Don't be fooled by what the Porn-Star Shagger-in-Chief did yesterday. Children may not be separated from their families, now, but there's nothing in the E.O. that Trump signed yesterday that makes it permanent. Trump now has made it possible to incarcerate whole familes.
A typical bully, Trump retreated as soon as loud, determined, and strong resistance to his inhumane policy manifested itself and threatened the GOP's chances in the fall elections. I don't believe for one minute that the Porn-Star Shagger-in-Chief cares about the chaos and misery he caused thousands of families. One needs human decency to feel for the families who suffer. We all know that #45 hasn't a drop of human decency in him.
"On Wednesday, Donald Trump signed an executive order to do what he, and every Trump surrogate who appeared on every form of media, spent the previous week insisting that he absolutely could not do—stop separating kids from their parents at the border. But after claiming that breaking up families was ordained of God, beating his chest over the need to enforce The Law, making careful distinctions between his child-stealing and that carried out by the Nazis, and mostly just blaming everything on the Democrats … Trump found that he could change the policy with a stroke of a pen after all."
"But just because Trump signing that executive order was a defeat for Trump—and it was a defeat for Trump—doesn't make it a victory for immigrant families. Trump still maintains his zero-tolerance policy, and the document decorated with his latest magic-marker contains not even a hint of a limit on executive power. Not even when that power is being used to … separate parents from their kids. The order leaves open the idea that families can still be separated over "concerns," and unlike the bill that was signed by every Democratic senator, those concerns don't have to rise to the level of actions that would, in other legal circumstances, lead to the severance of parental rights. In truth, Trump's executive order declares and preserves his authority to separate families for any reason at all. Or to detain them as a group. What it doesn't offer is any limit on his power, or hint of judicial or congressional review."
Trump is a lying bastard, a disgrace to America and all her ideals. Never let the American people forget what the Monster Trump did and is doing to thousands of families seeking refuge from muderous regimes in their countries. Never allow the American people to forget the sounds of children crying for their mothers and fathers. Those sobs will haunt every American's conscience and every American will associate children crying out in fear and agony with the Trump administration.
#45's supporters bear responsibility for terrorizing children.
"Stories of children being taken from their parents and images of teenagers in cage-like detention facilities have exploded into a full-blown political crisis for Mr. Trump and Republican lawmakers, who are desperate for a response to critics who have called the practice "inhumane" and "evil."
Trump acknowledges his policy is wrong!
He lied to the American people when he said it was "the law" and Democrats needed to come to the table to change it. He lied, as he usually does. All that was need to change HIS policy was an executive order.
America and the world looked in horror at what Trump's policy -- not a law -- was doing to babies and children, and forced the monster to end it!
Trump Retreats on Separating Families, Signing Order to Detain Them Together
Migrant Children Drugged Without Consent At Government Centers
Court Documents Show The allegations center on a mental health facility in Texas that has had problems in the past.
Staff working on the behalf of the Office of Refugee Resettlement are routinely drugging detained child migrants with psychotropics without their parents' consent, according to legal filings.
Trump: An ill-prepared, incompetent lunatic.
Trump's America: "...the kids — who have no idea where their parents are — were hysterical, crying and acting out."
If this doesn't make your blood turn to ice; if this doesn't make you sick to your stomach, then you're not worthy of being called an American -- you're not even worthy of being called a human being.
What have we become under the monster Trump?
City leaders in Houston, Texas -- HOUSTON! Denounce this inhumane cruelty:
Trump administration officials have been sending babies and other young children forcibly separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border to at least three "tender age" shelters in South Texas, The Associated Press has learned.
Lawyers and medical providers who have visited the Rio Grande Valley shelters described play rooms of crying preschool-age children in crisis. The government also plans to open a fourth shelter to house hundreds of young migrant children in Houston, where city leaders denounced the move Tuesday.
Since the White House announced its zero tolerance policy in early May, more than 2,300 children have been taken from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, resulting in a new influx of young children requiring government care. The government has faced withering critiques over images of some of the children in cages inside U.S. Border Patrol processing stations.
By law, child migrants traveling alone must be sent to facilities run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services within three days of being detained. The agency then is responsible for placing the children in shelters or foster homes until they are united with a relative or sponsor in the community as they await immigration court hearings.
But U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions' announcement last month that the government would criminally prosecute everyone who crosses the U.S.-Mexico border illegally has led to the breakup of hundreds of migrant families and sent a new group of hundreds of young children into the government's care. The United Nations, some Democratic and Republican lawmakers and religious groups have sharply criticized the policy, calling it inhumane.
Miserable coward! The people supporting Trump and Sessions are worse than miserable cowards. They are traitors to America's ideals. Damn them all!
Damn the inhumane law!
The law, in this case, is a ass! It is immoral! Those who support this immorality are complicit in abusing families and children.
From Daily Kos:
Trump and Republicans are losing on this immigration and child abuse issue. There's video, audio, pictures. There are five First Ladies. You can't fight that. Sure, you can dig in. No point in a compassion appeal to someone who lacks the gene, but that's separate from losing the public, and Trump is losing the public.
Republicans, your cowardly inhumanity will haunt you to your graves.

1.6 C++ Advantages
C++ For C Programmers, Part A
加州大学圣克鲁兹分校
本课程是面向有C语言经验的,并想要学习C++编程的程序员们。涉及到的例子和练习需要有对基础算法和面向对象软件的理解。
Graph Theory, C++11, C++, Graph Algorithms
I like Prof. Ira a lot and wish to see more courses from him! I wish I was his student at SC. Best Regards to him and the Coursera team for the great work.
I really loved this course. It is really helpul for my programming aspect. I have managed to develop my logical abilty and this course really helped me.
How to convert an existing C program to C++. Use of type safe Input/Output. Avoiding the preprocessor.

選擇語言英語(English)韓語
So, let's summarize some of the C++ advantages.
Type safe, when I say, cin trials what
is known is that cin is an istream
Trials is an int type.
So, the language understands, the compiler understands from cin,
the standard input, which is the keyboard normally.
I'm expecting some typing that is going to be interpretable as an integer, otherwise
I have an error, but I don't have have to put any formatted characteristics.
So, there's built-in implicit type safety.
Type safety is always a good thing in programming.
It's a way at runtime to catch errors.
Notice, we had mentioned in that previous slide that there were declarations that
could be intermixed with the executable.
It doesn't mean I want you necessarily to
not put declarations at the head of a block.
That's still a very useful style guide.
However, when you're writing longer programs,
it's useful to have your declaration nearer to where it's used.
That just makes the program a little more readable.
So, if the code is a small amount of code, I would say,
stay with the idea of putting all of your declarations at the head of the block,
and common thing in right there.
But if you have more lengthy things, and you have a need for
putting something right near where it's used, that is a very useful
idea, and frequently makes longer pieces of code more readable.
There was also, though I didn't go over it, in that last slide, the use of new.
And if you review that, new is a memory management.
And the memory it's getting is heap based memory, so
again, most of you should have one to two years of computer science background,
either professionally, or at school.
When you are running a program in which, for
example you have main, and you're allocating variables.
You're allocate them off the stack.
So when you declare a simple int, the head of main,
that memory allocation is automatic.
And the allocation's automatic, it comes off what you call the stack.
However, when you don't know what kind of memory you need yet,
it has to be part of a calculation at runtime,
then we use an alternate memory allocation strategy.
And that's called memory allocation off the heap.
And there's separate memory, a global chunk of memory that can be used
to take memory off the heap, and return memory to the heap.
And there in C, if you remember, there was a term or
a standard function called malloc_( ).
And there was also a function called free.
These are replaced by new, and delete.
And again, we will see, because of things like type safety, there is
more implicit information available to the C++ compiler in using these new operators.
These are keywords built-in to the language,
rather than standard functions that come from the standard library,
and it does provide improvements.
So, here's C++.
Here's the rest of that code.
Again, this is where we're computing.
If we roll 5 + 6, that would be our outcomes for 11.
We would get a probability for it.
And then I have a funky little thing sitting here,
that you won't have noticed as well.
And I have an interesting piece of code here, so
let's look at those two pieces of codes, cuz they're also relatively new.
If you've never programmed in C++.
So, this is what you call your standard iterator state integers.
This is your idiomatic for state.
It says, iterate with
a variable j starting at value 2,
where j is less than a certain number of dice times sides.
So, we have two dice, six sides.
And then each iteration is +1,
so we're gonna go from 2, 3,
up to 12, and do this calculation.
But this initialize segment of the for statement,
allows for the declaration of a local iterative variable, so that's nice.
That's new, because we generally don't really care about our is and
js being global if we're just using them for iterations.
So this again, localizes something.
Localization drives down complexity, so this is another improvement.
Small one, but another little improvement that we're
allowed to have these local decorations inside for statements.
Cout, which is type safe, prints a string, so
we'll see on the screen j =, and then some value.
So, it might be j =, let's say, the starting value will be 2, and
then we'll see probability p =, and then we'll do this computation.
So, this is another thing.
There is something called static cast, static cast is what called a safe cast.
C++ replaces old style unsafe casting in
C with four different kinds of casting.
So, C casting is deprecated, meaning obsolete, shouldn't be used.
Compiler may still like to use it.
If you remember, a C cast would look something like this, (double),
here's some expression, and that would mean convert that expression.
So, that is treated in the domain double, that's the same thing happening here.
Here's the type that I want to convert to.
But instead of just allowing it arbitrary forced conversion, this is telling me,
only convert if you have a rule based conversion that you consider safe.
If the conversion was not considered safe, then there would be an error.
So, this is gonna protect you from non standard conversions.
And again, it's an improvement.
Why do I need that conversion?
Because otherwise, these two things would be integer, and if they were both integer,
and outcomes would be less than trials, then all your probabilities would be zero,
and your probabilities aren't zero.
So, if there were like 5 outcomes out of 20,
you want this to become the number 5.0.
And now this is no longer integer divide, and you would get 0.25.
And endl is another way of saying, new line.
So this is again, in the ioostream standard library,
it's called an IO manipulator.
It's something that can be put in an iostream, and
it tells the iostream to skip to the next line.
So all of that shows you various kinds of improvements, and it's pretty much what I
want you to take away today in using this for your first homework assignment.
These are all things that you're gonna make use of in converting your
first C assignment.
Let's summarize with what advantages we have.
Safe casts, like static.
There are going to be three other kinds of casts.
One will be for example very dangerous, reinterpret cast.
That means force the thing to look at it this way, and just look at the bit
pattern, and whatever that bit pattern is on loke machine, reinterpret it.
Generally speaking in most companies,
you're not gonna to need manager approval for that cast, it's something to avoid.
But generally speaking, just a bad idea, so in a way it shouldn't be used.
But it's there, and maybe some very obscure critical need for it.
It's available, rather than have to return to,
in effect that's like returning to the bad old days of an unrestricted C cast.
For statement can include a declaration and initializer.
So, we frequently see things, like int i, or int j = some initial value,
this is most typical, typically, you start your loops with a 0.
EndI is an iomanipulator.
So again, those are little improvements over the C language that you
can immediately use, and you can immediately become a C++ programmer.
Now, Bjarne, he's currently a professor at
the Texas A&M, distinguished professor there.
He's still working on the latest versions of C++,
and he has the classic book defining a language.
A very, very detailed at his point, but from his perspective
as chief architectural language, he more or less said,
I believe C++ is better because I don't think purity is a virtue.
He think Java as pure OO simula, as somewhat high-bred.
Small talk as pure.
And he is saying, purity is not necessarily a virtue.
The single strength of C++ is exactly that it
supports several effective styles of programming.
Several paradigms, and combinations of styles.
Often the most elegant, most efficient, and
most maintainable solution involves more than one style.
Swiss Army knives, think Swiss Army knife.
What did we learn so far?
More type safe than C, with more elegance.
And then here is your first homework assignment,
this is what you need to convert.
And I'll see you next time.

New privacy rules passed by the FCC could influence AT&T's plans for its acquisition of Time Warner. Also in recent GRC news, the internet of things proves useful to hackers and privacy regulators in Europe warned WhatsApp and Yahoo about sharing users' private information.
AT&T's planned acquisition of Time Warner could be influenced by new FCC-approved privacy rules requiring companies to notify customers and gain their permission in order to use their app and web browsing history for targeted advertisement purposes, according to Politico. AT&T planned on tapping into its customers' data to generate targeted advertising for viewers of Time Warner's video content, Politico reported. This is not the first time AT&T has dealt with the ups and downs of acquiring another large media company. AT&T successfully purchased DirecTV in 2014 and aborted a 2011 bid to purchase T-Mobile after the deal was opposed by federal antitrust regulators, the New York Times reported.
The internet of things has become the latest weapon in hackers' arsenal, according to the Washington Post. Devices such as webcams, baby monitors and even smart thermostats were infected with malware to "attack" a New Hampshire-based Internet Performance Management (IPM) company Dyn.
The DDoS-style attack directed large amounts of internet traffic to Dyn, a company that helps connect users to websites, and eventually crippled the company's servers. The first attack occurred at approximately 7:00 a.m. EST on Oct. 21, and primarily affected users on the East Coast. A second attack occurred later that day at around noon EST. As a result of the attacks, users of websites including Netflix, Spotify, PayPal and Twitter experienced connection issues, the Washington Post reported. A third attack that occurred later in the afternoon led to connection issues for users around the world.
WhatsApp and Yahoo have received warnings from European privacy regulators regarding the distribution of users' data, Fortune reported. WhatsApp came under fire for sharing information with parent company Facebook, while Yahoo was criticized for a large 2014 data breach and for using software to sift through users' emails at the request of U.S. intelligence agencies.
Yahoo suffered a major data breach in 2014 that exposed more than 500 million users' email credentials. European privacy regulators wrote to Yahoo asking for complete transparency regarding details of the data breach and for the company to cooperate with "upcoming national data protection authorities' enquiries and/or investigations," according to Fortune. The regulators also asked Yahoo to notify all users affected by the data breach and how those users may be adversely affected.


Newspapers 2.0: How Web 2.0 is The Telegraph?
I've been looking at the extent to which different newspapers in the UK have adopted so-called "Web 2.0" technologies in their web sites. So far I've covered The Mirror, The Times and The Express. Today I want to look at the online version of The Telegraph.
The Telegraph has been quite bullish in recent months over their internet performance, boasting of being "Britain's No.1 quality newspaper website". Unlike the laughable claim of The Daily Express to be the world's best newspaper, this is no mere advertising strapline from The Telegraph - they incorporate into their online masthead a badge from Hitwise to back up their claim.
This is an assertion that has been disputed by The Guardian, in a spat over usage figures that has been rumbling for some months now. However it is clear from even a cursory glance around their site that The Telegraph has invested heavily to compete online.
On the RSS front, The Telegraph has a feed available from the front page, and it is auto-discoverable in a browser. Their RSS feeds are also prominently linked to in the services panel that forms part of the site's left-hand navigation on the homepage, although the page does not include any kind of standard orange RSS logo.
The Telegraph offers 24 different news and feature RSS feeds.
Their RSS help page also has a button to add the feeds to Netvibes. Like The Daily Express, The Telegraph also states that you must consent to their Terms and Conditions before using their RSS feeds.
To view our feeds, click on the orange XML logos. You will need to check the box below, agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of Use, first.
The RSS feeds, when displayed in a browser, have a stylesheet attached to them, which includes contextual help on how to use the feed in a News Reader.
Regular story pages on The Telegraph include five social bookmarking and social news links at the foot of the page, linking to del.icio.us, Digg, Newsvine, NowPublic and Reddit.
One issue I spotted with this was that The Telegraph has the slightly odd habit of tagging a vaguely related but different story onto the bottom of a larger story. This might work when laying out the columns of a print newspaper, but on the web, where the unique URL is king, this doesn't make sense. Particularly if you are including social bookmarking calls-to-action which revolve around a stories URL.
In the example below, when you use the Digg link, are you Digging the story about the Inter - Valencia brawl, or the speculation about Rijkaard's future that follows it?
The Telegraph's blogs have come under fire from The Independent, who can't exactly claim to have had much success in the area themselves, and The Telegraph have defended their online investment and strategy strongly. They also offer some of the most "blog-like" of those offered by the major UK newspapers.
The blogs sit on their own blogs.telegraph.co.uk sub-domain, and feature a different top bar of navigation to the rest of the site, offering a categorised way to navigate through the blogs on offer.
An RSS feed is available aggregating all of the blog content from a particular section, like sport for example.
RSS feeds are also available for the blogging output of each individual author.
Telegraph blogs incorporate a comment facility, and also include the same links to social bookmarking and social news as regular stories. Again they invite their readers to submit the content to del.icio.us, Digg, Newsvine, NowPublic and Reddit.
Blog entries are also tagged, and the tags feature at the top of the excerpts from each entry when they appear on the blog index page.
Secondary navigation through the blogs include monthly archive links and a tag cloud at an individual author level.
The Telegraph is generally perceived as a stuffy old paper for conservatives with a small 'c', and has steadfastly refused to follow the Times, Independent or Guardian down the smaller format route in print. And let us be honest here, their very name derives from cutting edge communications technology rooted in the 19th century, not the 21st.
On the web, however, the paper has displayed a willingness to play with the format. Telegraph blogs cover a wide-range of topics, and seem well implemented. Links to social bookmarking are including, and whilst 24 RSS feeds of news and editorial isn't in any way over-whelming, they are prominently promoted and automatically linked. The investment in the Telegraph's site looks to have been a good one.
Next week I shall be continuing this series of posts, and looking at the Web 2.0 features on the sites belonging to The Daily Mail, The Independent, The Guardian and The Sun.
By Martin Belam on 26 April 2007.
We are also responsible for the The Mirror's blogs, and they likewise have some really exciting and quite different plans. Personally, I think newspapers in the UK are way ahead of magazine publishing, the book industry, the music industry, the marketing comms, broadcast media and financial services industries in terms of Web 2.0 innovation. It would be interesting to debate why.

Entrepreneurship, Inspiration
Automation is shaking up the way we work.
I take that back.
"Shaking up" is too light a word to describe what's happening. Automation is exploding virtually every industry. Computers are coming for our jobs — yours and mine — and no one is safe.
Almost every day, we see more and more evidence that computers and technology are coming to replace us. They perform our jobs cheaper, more efficiently and better than we humans ever could.
According to BigThink, 47 percent of jobs will not exist by 2,038. In 2016, President Trump won the "Rust Belt" with a promise to bring jobs back to the US. But according to many experts (as cited by The New York Times), the biggest job-killer is not outsourcing. It's automation.
There is a tidal wave of change shaking up the world, and it's not going to go away. It's only getting started.
This will be the biggest upheaval in human history.
Either you know what is happening or you don't — but it definitely affects you. For those willing to get ahead of the curve and embrace automation, the sky is truly the limit. I see this as the greatest opportunity of our time.
It's never been easier to deploy automation to make your business leaner, quicker, more efficient and vastly more profitable.
I couldn't be more excited.
In my mind, folks who express fear and dismay at the loss of jobs are focusing on the wrong things and asking the wrong questions.
Applying past, outdated models to prepare for future opportunities is never a good way to go.
In today's entrepreneurial world, the biggest wins come not from what worked in the past, but from the new, novel and disruptive.
Those who benefit during times of massive change are those willing to embrace the chaos. Those enterprising individuals who embrace the change and ride it out to accrue great fortune.
The recent frenzy over cryptocurrency the past two years is an obvious example that comes to mind — tons of uncertainty, and tons of profit was made.
But there's another force that's evolving and shaping our world in a more silent and subtle way. It's a less competitive and less saturated opportunity… yet more powerful than any of us can imagine.
The case for automation
Technology is making our lives easier every single day. Improved technology creates more abundance and efficiency, making certain things that used to be difficult extremely easy. This is a very good thing.
And yet many of us are resistant to the idea of using automation to accomplish our work. We have become conditioned to believe that in order to deserve success, we need to work ourselves down to the bone. Making hard work easy almost feels like cheating.
Let me ask you: do you have any moral hangups when you drive your car? You probably wouldn't. Yet in the last century, cars put a lot of horses — and their chaffeurs — out of jobs.
Any technological revolution in modern history at first seems crazy, risky and often immoral. But people eventually come around and it becomes mainstream.
If you're not already embracing technology to make your business easier, I would advise that you jump on the train now.
Your business can accelerate far past others in its space or fall far behind. It's a crucial missed opportunity if you aren't leveraging technology and innovation as a core part of your business.
My friend James Schramko calls this "a black box advantage" — something that will give you a leg up over other competitors within a market. It is our job to discover these black boxes and leverage them to maximum benefit whenever possible.
You MUST use these for your competitive edge to create an extraordinary life. Technology is creating a world of abundance but we must embrace it to the fullest to enjoy a life of abundance.
Automation changed my life
As an entrepreneur, I've embraced automation and placed it at the core of my business model. It's had a profound effect on my business, and completely transformed my life.
With the right automation tools combined and a solid strategy, I grow my business on autopilot. I generate massive marketing reach, and create never-ending high-value leads, subscribers, fans and customers for my business.
Using marketing software and automation tools, I've been able to amass more than half a million followers on social media accounts. My clients and I have driven millions of visitors and pageviews, sales and revenue.
I run my business from anywhere, traveling the globe and going wherever I want to. I hike mountains, dive in tropical seas and travel countries on a motorcycle.
And I've been able to do all of this in a relatively short time, with very little effort. Much of this freedom is thanks to automation tools and software that replace all of the hard, boring work so that I can focus on the fun stuff.
In my new book "Dr Growth" I introduce you to some of the tools and hacks that have been working well for me and walk you through their use. It is my hope that are reading the book you'll be able to use automation to your advantage in your business the way that I do in mine.
What I present in this book are what I've learnt through my own experience and diligent learning, but there are many other hacks to be discovered.
Still, isn't there something wrong with all of this? What about spam?
Marketing is nothing more than salesmanship multiplied by a mass medium (or by automation). A bad salesman spams, a great salesman gives value and presents solutions that improve the lives of those he serves.
All of the most successful companies that have been built in the last century did so on the back of what others call "spam."
Think about direct mail, which marketers have been sending to your address for decades. How time consuming it would have been to write out all of those brochures and mail them one-by-one!
The net benefits of leveraging technology always far outweigh anything lost by giving up the old way of doing things.
Automation may be coming to replace all of our hard, boring and repetitive jobs. But it will create abundance like we've never seen before.
Red Pill or Blue Pill?
Right now you have two choices.
You can view the tidal wave of change that technology and automation presents through a lens of fear and scarcity. You may perceive it as a threat or some type of unethical form of cheating due to some well-meaning but misguided sense of morality.
In time, your fears will compound themselves and what you fear will become reality. In ten years, you'll be lucky if your current skills and approach will still be relevant.
Or you can embrace automation to its fullest potential.
The second choice recognizes and appreciates that abundance is made possible through technological innovation. It doesn't withstand it. It's a firm commitment to riding this wave as far and as long as possible.
It's an exciting and hugely profitable journey. And I would like to invite you to join me.

If at 1st, or 14th, you don't succeed: Zhang's Slam history
by: JOHN LEICESTER and HOWARD FENDRICH, Associated Press
China's Zhang Shuai clenches her fist after scoring a point against France's Clara Burel in the third round match of the French Open tennis tournament at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris, France, Saturday, Oct. 3, 2020. (AP Photo/Alessandra Tarantino)
PARIS (AP) — For eight long years, Zhang Shuai and Grand Slam tennis simply weren't friends.
From a 2008 debut at Flushing Meadows, to Roland Garros two years later, and then onward to the full four-stop grind that includes Melbourne Park and the All England Club, the road always stopped in the same place for her: a loss in the first round.
She had an uninterrupted streak of 14 quick-as-can-be exits, from 2008 to 2015 — and during the same period that another Chinese player, Li Na, was becoming a star, winning the 2011 French Open and the 2014 Australian Open, exploits that fed a tennis boom among their country's growing middle class.
But Zhang is still at it, at age 31, and the latest reward for her if-you-don't-succeed-try-again persistence is a debut appearance in the fourth round of the French Open, earned, characteristically, the hard way.
Zhang faced 23 break points, and saved 17 of them, in a 2-hour, 12-minute struggle against Clara Burel, ending the French wild-card entry's run 7-6 (2), 7-5.
Zhang finally put an end to her Grand Slam losing streak at the Australian Open in 2016, not just winning in the first round but making it all the way to the quarterfinals; she also reached that round at Wimbledon in 2019.
Now she is the first Chinese player into the fourth round in Paris since Li in 2012.
Her next opponent is No. 7 seed Petra Kvitova, a two-time winner at Wimbledon whose best showing at Roland Garros was a semifinal in 2012. Kvitova beat 18-year-old Canadian Leylah Fernandez 7-5, 6-3 to advance to the fourth round for the fifth time.
Zhang was particularly thrilled with her work at the net at the Court Simonne Mathieu, winning 22 points up there by executing advice from her coach that she end exchanges quickly.
"I still learn," she said, "try to improve."
DJOKOVIC: ELIMINATE LINE JUDGES
Novak Djokovic thinks it's time for tennis to let technology take over for good and eliminate line judges entirely in favor of electronic systems.
And, yes, the No. 1-ranked man made a joke about what happened at the U.S. Open — he was defaulted after accidentally hitting a line judge with a ball.
But he was serious about the larger point.
"With all my respect for the tradition and the culture we have in this sport, when it comes to people present on the court during a match, including line umpires, I really don't see a reason why every single tournament in this world, in this technologically advanced era, would not have" automated calls, he said Saturday after reaching the French Open's fourth round for the 11th time in a row.
"The technology is so advanced right now, there is absolutely no reason why you should keep line umpires on the court. That's my opinion," he said. "Of course I understand technology is expensive, so it's an economical issue and a question mark. But I feel like we are all moving towards that and, sooner or later, there is no reason to keep line umpires."
At the U.S. Open, Hawk-Eye Live was used in place of line judges at all but the two largest courts, which did have full complements of officials. It was in his fourth-round match in the biggest venue, Arthur Ashe Stadium, that Djokovic got disqualified when he unintentionally struck a line judge with a ball while walking to the changeover after losing a game in the first set.
Which is why he said with a smile Saturday that if his idea about eliminating line judges were adopted by the sport: "Then I would also probably then have less chances to do what I did in New York."
FACE IT, STEFANOS
Face it, Stefanos Tsitsipas, your masks are a hit.
The No. 5 seed from Greece showed up for his third-round match at the French Open on Saturday with a pandemic-appropriate facial covering that had a picture of himself drawn on it.
Then Ons Jabeur, the No. 30 seed from Tunisia, arrived sporting one, too, for her post-match news conference after becoming the first Arab woman to get to the fourth round at Roland Garros.
"I asked for it. He was like, 'No way you're going to wear it,'" she recalled, saying she told him that of course she would.
After all, as Jabeur explained Saturday: "I'm Team Tsitsipas."
Tsitsipas said a friend told him he had seen the masks online and asked whether the player knew about them.
"I'm like, 'No, but they would look really cool and I would like to have some of them,'" Tsitsipas said. "So I bought like 30, straightaway."

Why Young Women Are Snapping Shots of Their Boobs on Things
By Andrea Garcia-Vargas
Mamming, verb: the act of putting your boobs on things, snapping a picture, and then uploading it online (often with the hashtag #mamming).
But it's so much more than that, says New York-based Michelle Lamont, one of the two advertising creatives behind the viral mamming campaign that hit the internet over a week ago. "Mamming is about mimicking a mammogram to show solidarity with the millions of women whose lives can be saved by awkward but important screening techniques — like mammograms and self-exams," she says. As a 25-year-old survivor of breast cancer with a double mastectomy, Lamont's personal story was behind her brainstorming of the initiative.
While most of the team behind the campaign is based in the U.S., it has gone far beyond American borders. Type "mamming" into Twitter or Google and you'll see people from Spain, France, and Italy also talking about the trend and the video:
Boobs aren't required. Anyone — men, babies, dogs — can jump on the mamming bandwagon.

The incidence of breast cancer in younger women — loosely defined as women under 40 — is incredibly low, yet the heavy use of Twitter and Instagram to spread the campaign is aimed at a social media-savvy, millennial audience. Most of the faces we see in the video and on ThisIsMamming's Instagram appear to be faces under 40. Feminist Campus, a feminist and pro-choice student network, is taking their own part in the Instagramming process.
But the youthful audience seems to be the point. Besides Lamont, I spoke to two other women excited about mamming.
"Young people, more than ever, are dealing with breast cancer," Carmen Rios from Feminist Campus told me. "This campaign uniquely allows them to confront those fears with laughter and community support."
Louise Addis, a 29-year-old based in Johannesburg, South Africa, says she thinks mamming naturally followed "the list of planking, owling, or supermanning...Mamming will hopefully appeal to the younger crowd, we all know how much we like taking selfies."
While the campaign welcomes male, female, animal, and baby mammers alike, the sexualization of breast cancer campaigns, most recently Motorboating for Breast Cancer, has raised concerns that boobs and not the women behind them are the focus. And mamming, Lamont says, has not been exempt from this same set of concerns and scrutiny.
But "taking sexy selfies" is not what most people are doing, she elaborates. "Sometimes people will take sexy pictures. We can't control that. Our vision isn't that," she says. "Obviously you can't talk about breast cancer without talking about breasts. But we wanted to talk about it in a funny way."
Since mamming's a relatively new trend, I can't quantify whether or not it will have a significant influence. I know I laughed when I saw others mamming, and I can imagine how many "likes" a picture of me mamming would get on Facebook but, more importantly, I'm more self-aware about my need for mammograms and self-exams.
Mamming is not just another pink-washing scheme. Unlike the typical internet slacktivism, mamming is more than just an "Instamoment," as Rios puts it. Mamming has the explicit purpose of educating and breaking down the stigma around breast cancer while still keeping it edgy and shareable on social media.
While the men behind Motorboating for Breast Cancer certainly did raise $7,000, and went viral, they did so at the expense of sexualizing female bodies. Mamming is proof that you can go viral and educate a young demographic without saying, "Save the ta-tas!"
"But where's the cure?" you might ask. "Where's the money going to breast cancer research?"
Lamont's doctor's response says it all: the cure is going to be prevention. That is where mammograms come in — especially early mammograms. Lamont and other mammers hope that putting boobs on things for a cause will have you laughing all the way to the doctor's office.

Q: Problemas para exibir um array de funcionarios em uma classe Main Tenho 3 classes envolvidas neste erro: TestaEmpresa, Empresa,Funcionario.
Minha ideia é criar um array de funcionarios dentro de Empresa e imprimir na TestaEmpresa. Para isso fiz dentro de Funcionario um método chamado "mostra()". Este deveria emitir a saída por meio de um "System.out.prinln()" para cada atributo que estiver em Funcionario. Mas obtive o seguinte erro ao tentar compilar as classes.

Erro: The method println(boolean) in the type PrintStream is not applicable for the arguments (void).

Vou colocar agora as classes para eventual análise:
TestaEmpresa:
package projetoMeuBanco;

public class TestaEmpresa {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

//Crie um objeto de classe empresa.

        Empresa empresa = new Empresa();

//Array de Funcionarios:

        empresa.setFuncionarios(new Funcionario[5]);

//Crie alguns funcionarios e preencha seus atributos, em seguida add a classe empresa.

        Funcionario func1 = new Funcionario();
        Funcionario func2 = new Funcionario();
        Funcionario func3 = new Funcionario();
        func1.setNome("Aldo");
        func2.setNome("Baldo");
        func3.setNome("Caldo");

        func1.dataDeNascimento.setDia("16");
        func1.dataDeNascimento.setMes("02");
        func1.dataDeNascimento.setAno("1997");

        func2.dataDeNascimento.setDia("17");
        func2.dataDeNascimento.setMes("03");
        func2.dataDeNascimento.setAno("1998");

        func3.dataDeNascimento.setDia("18");
        func3.dataDeNascimento.setMes("04");
        func3.dataDeNascimento.setAno("1999");

//Add os funcionarios a empresa.

        empresa.adciona(func1);
        empresa.adciona(func2);
        empresa.adciona(func3);

//Usando o foreach percorra funcionarios da empresa.

        for (Funcionario f: empresa.funcionarios)
        {
            System.out.println(f.mostra());
        }
    }
}

Empresa:
package projetoMeuBanco;

public class Empresa{

 private String nome, cnpj;

 protected Funcionario[] funcionarios;

 private int posicaoLivre;

public void adciona (Funcionario func) {

    this.funcionarios[this.posicaoLivre]=func;

    this.posicaoLivre++;

}

public Funcionario[] getFuncionarios() {

    return funcionarios;

}

public void setFuncionarios(Funcionario[] funcionarios) {

    this.funcionarios = funcionarios;

}

}

Funcionario:
package projetoMeuBanco;

//Atributos

public class Funcionario {

private String nome;//get e set

private String departamento;//get e set

private double salario=1000;//get

private boolean ativo;//is e set

protected Data dataDeNascimento = new Data();

public void aumentarSalario(double aumento) {

    this.salario=this.salario*aumento;

}

public void mostra() {

    System.out.println("Nome: "+this.nome+".");

    System.out.println("Salário: "+this.salario+".");

    System.out.println("Data de nascimento: "+dataDeNascimento.data());

    System.out.println("Está na empresa?");

    if(ativo) {

        System.out.print("Sim\n");

    }else {

        System.out.print("Não\n");

    }

}
public boolean demite() {

    ativo=false;

    return ativo;

}
public String getNome() {

    return nome;

}

public void setNome(String nome) {

    this.nome = nome;

}

public String getDepartamento() {

    return departamento;

}

public void setDepartamento(String departamento) {

    this.departamento = departamento;

}

public boolean isAtivo() {

    return ativo;

}

public void setAtivo(boolean ativo) {

    this.ativo = ativo;

}

public double getSalario() {

    return salario;

}

}

Estes códigos estão no mesmo pacote e eu queria chamar o vetor funcionarios que se localiza na classe empresa. Assim usar o método mostra que consta em funcionarios. Mas acredito que esteja tendo algum problema nessa chamada.
Eu não usei nenhum método boolean pelo caminho e ainda assim apareceu este erro falando sobre boleano. Gostaria que me ajudassem a entender melhor porque tive este problema. E o que pode estar causando este erro.

A: Veja a mensagem de erro:

Erro: The method println(boolean) in the type PrintStream is not applicable for the arguments (void).

Isso significa que na linha que você está imprimindo, está sendo chamado um método void, ou seja, um método que não possui retorno:
// Classe TestaEmpresa
for (Funcionario f: empresa.funcionarios)
{
    System.out.println(f.mostra());
}

// Classe funcionário, que possui o método mostra
public void mostra() {

    System.out.println("Nome: "+this.nome+".");

    System.out.println("Salário: "+this.salario+".");

    System.out.println("Data de nascimento: "+dataDeNascimento.data());

    System.out.println("Está na empresa?");

    if(ativo) {

        System.out.print("Sim\n");

    }else {

        System.out.print("Não\n");

    }

}

O seu método mostra() não está retornando o que deve ser imprimido, ele mesmo está imprimindo. Então, para corrigir o problema, é necessário apenas invocar esse método de impressão, sem tentar imprimir o seu retorno vazio:
// Classe TestaEmpresa
for (Funcionario f: empresa.funcionarios)
{
    f.mostra();
}

A: Você está tentando executar um println em um método que não retorna nada (void) segue abaixo o trecho:
//Usando o foreach percorra funcionarios da empresa.
for (Funcionario f: empresa.funcionarios)
{
     System.out.println(f.mostra());
}

Tente assim:

//Usando o foreach percorra funcionarios da empresa.
for (Funcionario f: empresa.funcionarios)
{
     f.mostra();
}
