Q: why does scala toString give type Any? I need to compose a String depending on the value of an Int - Scala is confusing me:
scala> val qqq: Int = -3
qqq: Int = -3

scala> qqq.toString
res17: String = -3

scala> if (qqq < 0)
     | qqq.toString
res19: Any = -3

what is going on there? Why is qqq.toString a string in the first but not the last?

A: What happens if q >= 3 ? What type does if return then ?
e.g. if you write this:
if (qqq < 0)
   "a"
else
   "b"

you'll always get a String return type

By Philip E. Jenks
Lieutenant Elmore Jenks
When I was a kid, I could never get Dad to talk about the war.
Over the years I had pieced together some vague details of his war experiences. I knew he slogged through jungles and participated in the Buna Campaign, the bitter struggle to liberate New Guinea from the Japanese. Occasionally we'd watch old war films on the 12-inch black-and-white Admiral television in the living room, and Dad would watch grainy scenes of troops climbing down the webbing on the sides of troop carriers. Sometimes Dad would turn away from the screen and say, "I did that."
Once I asked Dad how close he had come to getting shot in the war. He said, "Well, I once found a bullet hole in one of the leaves I had stuck in my helmet." I was thrilled.
I was the oldest of five children of Elmore Jenks and Mary Emerson, born 13 months after the end of World War II. The war was still a pervasive topic of conversation when I was little, and I was often under the impression it had never stopped. Once an educator from Japan — his name was Tatsuo Katyama — visited our elementary school, and the teacher had to assure us the war was over and this very nice young man had come in peace.
Growing up in the aftermath of the war, I was enamored by its glories and the glamour of millions of citizen soldiers who risked their lives to save the world from sadistic fascists and fanatic militarists. In the decades following VJ Day, the most popular films at The Morris Theater featured John Wayne (wearing the uniforms he never wore in real life) fighting fierce but oddly bloodless battles to win the war anew. To us Baby Boomers, the war looked like an experience no one should have missed.
It took me years to realize Hollywood sanitized the war. There were no pictures of dismembered human beings, no soundtracks of the moaning of dying soldiers, no scenes of freckle-faced GIs plying gold from the teeth of enemy corpses.
Also missing were the portraits of incompetent generals and feckless officers. Dad thought his highest-ranking commanders — General MacArthur and General Eichelberger — qualified on both counts. On screen, generals were shrewd and virtuous, and soldiers were virtuous good guys who, when they died in battle, emitted small trickles of fake blood at the corners of their mouths. And when the boyish GIs were off duty, they never went out to get drunk or laid. They went to mixers at the USO club and said, "Golly," when they were served Cokes by Bette Davis or Carol Lombard.
This was one of my favorite pictures of Dad in New Guinea. When I asked him for details, his answer was always the same: "Oh, just some dog that hung around."
The real war was not so tidy, and it was the real war Dad didn't talk about. Talking about the mutilated bodies and criminally inept senior officers forced him to think about the real war's dark side. Looking back, I realize that two of the tactics Dad employed to dim the memories were not talking about them and a tall nightly glass of Mount Vernon Whiskey (also, coincidentally, the name of the ship that took him to war.)
Dad didn't talk about any of it, but he put the details in his diary. I remembered seeing the diary once. It was a small, zippered, canvas-covered book that would fit in a GI breast pocket. He jotted down memories in pencil or fountain pen. I don't know what happened to the original diary, but I'm sure it's in a box somewhere, in Florida or New York or, perhaps, in Pennsylvania.
Fortunately, toward the end of the war when Dad had some free time, he decided to make a typewritten copy of the diary. I found the typed version curled amid the pages of Dad's military records — his 201 file — that had been entrusted to me for safe keeping after Mom died in 1983.
I found the diary to be a remarkably detailed record of a combat lieutenant's experiences in the Pacific Theater. It includes scenes of relentless boredom in camp, drunken efforts to relieve the ennui, and occasional confrontations with senior officers. The diary also includes disturbingly detailed descriptions of jungle battles in New Guinea.
The diary is not a comprehensive record, of course. It seems to leave out many details. Except for his frequent complaints of fever and stomach aches (probably due to malaria) or his admissions of sadness and homesickness, Dad rarely recorded his feelings, his gut reactions to the things he was experiencing.
The diary is also written piecemeal. He recorded scenes as he remembered them in a stream-of-consciousness reflection, often not in chronological order. One moment he is in Brisbane, the next he is in New Guinea, the next he is in California.
When I began to edit the diary, I tried to place entries in a chronological sequence, if I could figure it out. I have also eliminated some duplication; for some reason, Dad typed out two lengthy versions of his initial arrival in Australia. I've also tried to spell out military abbreviations when I knew them, and I've done some minor editing to make the diary easier to read. Beyond that, the words and memories are Dad's own.
Elmore Jenks died April 16, 1999. Before his death, I interviewed him on one or two occasions about his war experiences. We made plans, but never got around to doing it, to go through his 201 file page by page so Dad could provide additional details as he recalled them. My thought was to expand this edited diary into a future memoir of one soldier's participation in one of the great events of the 20th century.
That will never be. But I hope this version of Dad's war diary will be a useful document for Elmore's family and friends and even, perhaps, for professional historians. I have found it to be a valuable record of an important time in Dad's life, and a rare insight into Elmore himself.

Q: Displaying Image on VGA and/or Television through ARM Micro controllers(in C)(SD Card) I worked on 8051 micro controllers, a few months before, and found it quite interesting. Had a few projects, enjoyed while programming. I picked a project with the above title as my final project this year in my college. I am not much sure if i would be able to do it, so i need your help. Where should I start from, I know a little about ARM Micro-controllers. Interfacing SD Card wouldn't be a problem, in fact i would add a static ram too, but working with pictures and up to 16 bits per pixel, looks like huge to me. Suggest me, where should i start from, the most difficult part, as I guess, on my project is processing the image to show on VGA. Suggest me, anything you can.
My personal email address is taha_rehman@writeme.com. Every suggestion is welcomed.

A: *

*SoftVGA

*TinyVGA

*AvrVGA

*Tellymate

A: Have a look at RBox. It's TV signal, not VGA, but is very simple to implement. VGA is trickier but possible too. Check also this discussion with more comments and links (about mbed, but the points generally apply to most ARM chips).

SCIT Rolls out 2 New Undergraduate Programmes
Dr. Sean Thorpe, Head, School of Computing and Information Technology, University of Technology, Jamaica
The School of Computing and Information Technology, (SCIT) University of Technology, Jamaica will offer two new undergraduate degree programmes at the start of the 2019/20 Academic year. These are the Bachelor of Science in Computer Network and Security and the Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems.
On Tuesday, July 2, 2019 SCIT hosted an information session for incoming and prospective students where details of the programme offerings were outlined by their respective programme directors.
Dr. Sean Thorpe, Head, SCIT in his welcome noted that the roll out of the new ICT courses of study are in response to the current global data explosion and the growing high demand for ICT skilled professionals for the jobs of now and for the future. He shared that "the Business Process Outsourcing (PBO) sector has a new area of focus called knowledge process outsourcing that requires managers with higher order cognitive skills to operate within organisations." He expressed confidence that the graduates of both new UTech, Jamaica degree programmes will be able to access such opportunities as middle level managers.
Looking at other opportunities in the ICT space, Dr. Thorpe said that recent data collected by the Jamaica Computer Society where he also sits as President, showed that "Jamaica right now has a shortage of over 10,000 data security and data science professionals." In the international space he said that the skills shortage for these two categories of professionals is estimated to be in the region of 2.3 million.
The global perspective on how jobs are rapidly changing to meet the demands of operating information networks and of safeguarding them for the benefit of organisations and of a society, that is increasingly inter-connected by information data, was reiterated by all presenters.
Programme Director for the BSc. Computer Information Systems, Mrs. Sophia McNamarah in her overview said that the four-year course of study combines computing with business, management, data analytics and entrepreneurship. The "hands-on" practical training is expected to equip graduates to design, create and effectively manage computer business solutions in a range of organizations. Students will be able to choose a major/minor or double major in the two areas of Data Analytics or Technology Entrepreneurship. Graduates will be equipped to design, create and manage effective computer business solutions to drive innovation in Jamaica, the Caribbean and beyond.
Noting that the demand for data scientists is expected to soar by more than 15% in 2020, Mrs McNamarah told the gathering of primarily prospective students and educators, that graduates will be able to find/create lucrative jobs as Information System Auditors, Data Analytics Practitioners, Digital Marketing Practitioners, Technology Entrepreneur, Business Intelligence Analysts and other related areas.
Mr Richard Barrett, Programme Director for the BSc. Computer Network and Security in his overview, emphasized the critical importance of data security. This was underscored by a shared BBC News story video clip showing the devastating financial and organisational impact of Ransom ware cyber-attacks targeting large international corporations.
The BSc. Computer Network and Security will offer students two available majors in Cyber Security with emphasis on such areas as Critical Infrastructure, Data Protection and the Law and Cyber-Forensics and Auditing. The major in Virtualization Computing will focus on areas such as Hypervisor Management, Software Definition Networks and Modelling Cloud Business Solutions.
SCIT will also offer certificate/short courses drawn from modules in the two new ICT programmes, specially designed for ICT practitioners or persons who are already holders of degrees and are seeking to retool and update their skill sets in a shorter time-frame.
Mrs. Lisa Facey-Shaw, Programme Director for SCIT's graduate degrees took the opportunity to remind prospective students to also plan for future studies even as they contemplate commencing undergraduate studies in ICT. SCIT currently offers the Master of Science in Information Systems Management (MSc. ISM), the Postgraduate Diploma in Information Communication Technology (PGD-ICT), the PhD/MPhil in Computer Science and the PhD/MPhil in Information Systems. Mrs. Facey-Shaw outlined details of these programme offerings in her presentation.
The application period for both new degree programmes is now open and will close on July 31, 2019. For further information, contact Ms Sharon Leslie at sharon.leslie@utech.edu.jm

Billionaire James Dyson Buys Singapore's Most Expensive Penthouse

British billionaire Sir James Dyson has spent a reported $54.24 million on Singapore's most expensive penthouse in a further sign that the inventor and entrepreneur is set to move more of his business activity overseas.
Local media reports that Sir James and his wife are the buyers of the "super penthouse" at Guoco Tower "a world-class vertical city", and Singapore's tallest building.
One of Singapore's largest residential properties, the 21,000 square foot penthouse located on the 62nd to 64th floor boasts, according to the property's listing, five bedrooms, a private swimming pool, cabana, jacuzzi room, a private bar and panoramic city views.
A Dyson spokesman confirmed to Forbes: "Given the decision to locate the headquarters in Singapore and the growing focus of the company's business in the region, of course James Dyson has bought a property there."
In October 2018 Dyson, most famous for its bagless vacuums and hand dryers, announced its decision to build its highly-anticipated electric car in Singapore.
With the first cars set to roll off the production line in 2021, Dyson said his decision was based on the availability of engineering talent and the city's proximity to its target markets, namely China.
However the move raised eyebrows in the U.K. with James Dyson amongst a number of British billionaires to publicly support Brexit.
In 2017 Sir James told the BBC that a no deal Brexit scenario would "hurt the Europeans more than the British".
On the uncertainty surrounding Britain's departure from the EU he said: "I think uncertainty is an opportunity, and the opportunity here is actually that the rest of the world is growing at a far greater rate than Europe, so the opportunity is to export to the rest of the world and to capitalise on that."
