I assume the dog's name is pronounced "Earl" and not "You-Are-El" so it probably shouldn't be all caps (unless his name is actually "Uniform Resource Locator" which actually would be clever since he locates "resources" for people in uniforms).
Technically, they are all brackets. You can subdivide them into round brackets (AKA parenthesis), curly brackets {AKA braces} and square brackets [AKA crotchets]. There are also angle brackets <used commonly in HTML>, as well as other types of brackets used less commonly such as corner brackets and double brackets (which Slashdot won't display correctly). The word 'bracket' by itself may refer to any or all of these but shouldn't be assumed to refer to a specific type.
Obviously we must place the starting brackets in the function definition as you have done, because:
1) if the bracket starts on the following line then it might accidentally line up in the same column with the closing bracket and make the code block too easy to visually identify.
and
2) there is a world-wide shortage of carriage returns and they must be carefully rationed.
Built in China (to avoid labor and environmental laws)

Since more and more countries are closing those loopholes, I hear rumors they're building a giant ship to move their entire operation to the lawless libertarian paradise of international waters; manufacturing slaves on the lower decks, one percenters soaking up the sun on the upper decks.
Penguin Random House created a special platform to offer subway customers free access to five full-length e-shorts, including F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic short story, The Diamond As Big As The RitzThe Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe.
Wow! Thanks so much for giving me "free" access to five whole stories including two that have been in the public domain for decades!
But Shadow Brokers isn't an agent of a nation with a lot to lose like the NSA is.
Read this. Shadow Brokers ARE the Russians. A lone, non-state-sponsored hacker did NOT break into an NSA server and then keep it secret for over three years.
On the contrary, I think this may be a positive development. Back in the cold war, neither side could use their nuclear weapons since they knew the other would instantly retaliate (Mutually Assured Destruction). It appears we've now reached that phase in the infowar. Both sides know what each other is up to, but they know if they reveal what the other is doing, their own shenanigans will be exposed.
If you currently have Windows 8/8.1, there's no harm in upgrading and getting back the start menu.
If you currently have Windows 7, you should probably stick with it.
Both major parties are unfixable at this point. Right leaning voters should vote for Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party) and left leaning voters for Jill Stein (Green Party). At the very least, we need to all demand that they be included in the debates.
Another 'company' with everything to benefit from x going away by declaring 'X is dead' 'fossil fuels are on the way out' Sick of this "x is dead' shit.
Nice bit of editing there. The full quote is:
a Vancouver-based cleantech fund created through a $100-million partnership with Cenovus and Suncor
In case you don't know, Cenovus and Suncor are major producers of dirty Canadian tar-sand oil. So a more accurate assessment would be:
Another company with everything to lose by declaring fossil fuels are on the way out is hedging its bets.
Let me re-write his ramblings from The Verge for a different industry to demonstrate how ridiculous they are:
-
"I've been one of the many people dissatisfied with the state of auto industry recalls, however I can't in good conscience direct my wrath at the people manufacturing the devices. Price and spec competition is so intense right now that there's literally no option to disengage: everyone's been sucked into the whirlpool of razor-thin profit margins, and nobody can afford the luxury of dedicating too many resources to after-sales care. The question that's been bugging me lately is, if we value airbag recalls as highly as we say we do, why don't we pay for them? The situation can't be fixed by manufacturers -- most of them are barely breaking even -- or by Takata, which is doing its best to improve things but ultimately relies on automakers to get the job done. Dealers will most certainly not be the solution, given how they presently constitute most of the problem -- so like it or not, the best chance for substantial change comes from us, the drivers. What I'm proposing is a simple crowdfunding operation."
People with taste are sabotaging reviews of Pauly Shore movies! Somebody call the social justice police! I bet white people are dragging down the reviews of Tyler Perry movies too!
Seriously, WTF! Am I not supposed to honestly review something I don't like because some group that does like it would be offended? People are getting accused of "sabotage" just for giving their opinion? I'm not a Trump supporter, but it's bullshit like this that drives people to him.
or the FBI have already cracked the current version of Tor and want to spread some FUD around to slow down any updates and/or convince people that newer versions of Tor are unsafe and they should keep using the current version. Don't underestimate the level of douchebaggery you're dealing with here.
In learning programming, you had to use a bunch of programming tools (like text editors for example) and discovered they were not optimal to your way of working. So write your own. A quick Google search will show there are almost as many text editors out there as there are programmers. 99% of them have an installed base of exactly one; the person who programmed it. But that's OK, you created a tool that works exactly the way you want it to. Now move on to the next problem. Sometimes the solution suits only yourself, and sometimes it's useful to others as well.
The only reason this craziness exists is because some entitled twit sees his workmate with a Telsa charging his car at work and thinks, "hey, why should he get to charge his car at work and not me?".
Google has a browser? That can't possibly be true, because Microsoft's market dominance in the 90s ensured that their default Internet Explorer browser did not face any competition and is now the only browser that exists (at least according to the logic of EU regulators).
but they are usually received with a level of dismissal that I can only assume is "we barely have a business case to have the wires down your street."

More likely it's "we don't have any competition on your street."

So it takes perfectly good statistical data and turns it into wordy, clichéd prose? What will retired althetes do now?

What's your problem? It looks like every other program written in 2003.
If you currently have Windows 8/8.1, there's no harm in upgrading and getting back the start menu. If you currently have Windows 7, you should probably stick with it.
