Иногда мы можем столкнуться с циклическими зависимостями. Иногда мы можем захотеть сделать их намеренно. Например, при реализации конвертера между градусами Цельсия и Фаренгейта, где пользователь может изменить любое из двух значений, а второе должно автоматически пересчитываться.Однако в подавляющем большинстве случаев циклические зависимости указывают на проблему с логикой, поэтому их обычно избегают. К счастью, логику даже такого конвертера можно всегда переписать так, чтобы не было циклических зависимос Read more ›

In 2023, two researchers whose earlier work had reached opposite conclusions about money and happiness — Daniel Kahneman, who had said well-being plateaued around $75,000, and Matthew Killingsworth, who had said it kept rising — carried out an “adversarial collaboration” and reconciled their findings in PNAS: for most people happiness does keep rising with income beyond $100,000, while an unhappy minority plateaus
