You're right. I read 2008 in the post and thought the writer was talking about a time shortly after then. By the late 2010s linters were prevalent.

Your comment is more true today than it was back then, not that I disagree with you posting it. Back then linters were a twinkle in the hopeful eye of software devs. Now they're battle hardened.

The last update to MS-Dos was over twenty years ago. I'm longing for something more than mere backwards compatibility.

Unless you're doing something mathematical, where you can exhaustively test every input and output and ship something that's essentially close to the platonic ideal of the thing, you're going to need to update. Protocols chan

Yes exactly. This mirrors my experience as well. Of course it depends on the individual setup, but making testing easier and faster has huge benefits, but a tiny amount of E2E coverage goes a long way.

by 3pt14159 5y ago
In my book, E2E tests should be on a couple of basic, mission critical things and integration tests should pick up the rest. It's far, far better to have 10 E2E tests and 1000 integration tests than 0 E2E tests and 1500 integration tes

And to add insult to injury they're counting hybrids. That's ridiculous. If 10 Toyota Corrolas were taken off of the road and replaced with Toyota Corrola Hybrids it's, what, the equivalent of 2 net-new electric cars?

Regarding your edit, I do not disagree. DF does not require a PhD. It would help, but it is not necessary and the people downvoting you, in my opinion, are misusing the privilege. That said, talking about downvotes on HN is pretty boring, s

This is precisely the thing I do not want from python. Subclassing is super useful in convoluted tests where fakes are superior to mocks. I don't like being told "you can't do this" by some library's code.

Most of the volume is near the edge of the sphere in higher dimensions. Closer to soap bubbles than what we consider to be true spheres.

I just think it's different. People at work shouldn't have to put up with jokes about suicide via gunshot whenever a dumb young kid doesn't like their marching orders for the week.

Thank you for the response. It's these small comments of personal reflection that make HN feel like a real place of community.

I'm not against dark humour, I think it's grand, actually, and helps us get through trouble. But I think there is a difference between someone putting up a sincere joke and someone in their twenties at the workplace. I'm not

Yikes I'm sorry. In my early twenties I'd jokingly do the "finger gun to the head" thing when I got a task I wasn't pleased about. Then my cousin died by suicide and, being my first encounter with suicide in the rea

"Temporarily" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. If we built our cities with wood like we used to they can last hundreds of years. Thousands if we really did it right. There's a Japanese temple that's fourteen centuries ol

Exactly. I hadn't even considered kids because I'm childless. I imagine it would be so much fun to actually spend some real quality time with them in the summer or during the holidays.

I'm not saying your comment was in bad faith, but if you have a thousand developers working for you I'm pretty sure the law of large numbers brackets your outlay.

I'm honest about delivery dates, but I do deeply care about getting a project across the line on time. Not just because it gets me cooler, more demanding projects with larger compensation, also for its own sake. It's fun to win, e

What makes Germany so different than Canada? Sheer population? In both countries there is a marked willingness to do the right thing, but I'm struggling to remember corruption anywhere close to the size of what goes on there.

This is one area where copyright law feels just so out of touch. Musicians make money from their music, not printouts of their lyrics. It just feels different here. We have an exception for trademark when it comes to satire, we should have

If an experience can't pass a double blind test, I don't think it's serious. People don't want to just support an artist. If they did, they'd fund them on Patreon or what have you. What they want to do is act like i
