I should think there’s software and/or websites in the Guitar Hero style that exist for learning Morse.

Code has value over time where as NYT content does not, unless it’s to make a case why one shouldn’t put to much weight in what it publishes. Code is facts about an organizations business. To the extent factual information is created by the

This is interesting. Are there any resources you would recommend which go into more details about these roles and the transition you describe?

The differences are magnified when arbitrary test coverage metrics are imposed. The first example is easier to write tests for because all the conditionals are easier to scan. The second, green, example requires the test writer to follow mu

I don’t mind the HTMX abstraction of JS and XHR but blindly exposing DB schema seems lazy. Clients generally don’t need or want this exposure but the “API” certainly can be replaced by notional views in a lot of cases.

When code is written to interfaces those interfaces can be mocked without mocking frameworks. Mocking frameworks mask poorly structured code.

If you want to expose issues in a code base’s architecture, don’t allow mocking frameworks and see how complex and lengthy unit tests become.

In the vast majority of cases, The Enterprise, private methods are little to no use anyway. Whenever I’m faced with updating a code base that has Draconian code coverage metrics in place I’m more apt to make a private method public than fut

There are a number of issues. First, the fundamental unit under test is the method/function, not the entire call stack. Second, complexity starts to grow when there are code coverage gates in place. When I see tests that are orders of

Unit testing private methods via public interfaces is accidental testing and leads to overly complex and brittle test code. The author’s first instincts were correct here.

When I said I used alt tab to switch contexts I meant applications as I said I run my applications full screen.

It’s interesting you mention this. The way I use my desktop I always have my applications maximized and I just alt-tab to switch contexts. I also am in the terminal a lot and use Yaquake but not in maximized mode because I don’t want to foc

Yeah I really wish the copyright holders would give it up and open source OS4. It’s one the few sweet spot personal OS’s that are single user multi tasking. I guess AROS is close but it’s clunky.

The reason eshell doesn’t feel like a proper terminal is because it’s a shell that doesn’t run in a terminal but in an emacs buffer. A down side is programs meant to display output in a terminal emulator won’t render properly in eshell. An

Speaking of the 9900 here… Maybe it was the size of my hand but I found the form factor hit a sweet spot. I could navigate every thing with my thumb. I could do this because of the swipe pad in the center and the size and layout of the touc

This dove tails with the Programming as Theory thread; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37263121 . Even if the AI delivered on the task of converting the text from COBOL to Java, it’s not going to preserve the theory.

Start by identifying and understanding arguments against your position. After that, push yourself to come up with your own unique arguments against your position. Then take the time, which should be considerable, to have the debate with you

Thanks for the link. I really like the bit that expands on the notion that premature optimization is not limited to run time optimizations but to, perhaps more so, abstraction optimizations.

I thought browser VMs lost (Flash, Applets, etc) or was that just because they weren’t open like WASM?

A better analogy and even more negative. The Cargo Cult label that harkens to Pop Fashion is much less damnable than than which harkens to political dynamics.
