Someone woke up on the wrong side today, or need to go get something to eat.

It certainly doesn’t bother me , but considering the length of your rant, which I won’t bother to read after your first sentence, you certainly seem to have quite a few hangups.

The problem is that “unit” isn’t well defined. Anything from a method to a service can be considered the unit under test.

So what you are trying to say is "don't use complex language features unnecessarily"? That is a very different statement.
246.
by Ma8ee 3y ago
> using the least powerful language features possible Why on earth would you do that? That just leads to more complex code where bugs can hide.

Or because they just fucking work without us having to think or spend time on them getting them to do what we want. And no, I don’t care about the “full feature set”. I know it does what I need it to do without any hassle.

I don’t think it is easy. Most of the other garbage will just tag along when you lift the metals. It would be different if the garbage was burned. Then you could just get the metals out of the ashes. But to have a clean incineration, the te

Or glass, or paper, and almost all types of metal.

Most of us manages very well not being violent, and have no desires or urges to be violent. Aren’t we humans then?

And it will lock the system into behaviour that might just be accidental. The value of tests is to make sure that you don't break anything that anyone cares about, not that the every little never used edge case behaviour, which might j

Too much like real work was exactly what I felt after only a few hours of Factorio.

And we decide that they aren't allowed to eat candy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, because we know that if they do they will feel like crap, even though it might be immediately rewarding. And while there are people who might have gr

This is the reason why I’m very restrictive with my kids access to any digital devices. Not because they are inherently bad, but because they take valuable time where they should be out playing in nature, practicing social interactions with

Your argument could be valid if bitcoins were actually useful.

And how much does it leak? If the amount leaking to the atmosphere is a thousand of the amount of CO2 that would have been released for the same process, it's still a huge net win. Comparing the effect of one kg of H2 with one kg of CO

When someone uses a tool for several hours every day for years, you can afford quite a bit of training. When you need to make a bunch peasants into soldiers on short notice, the equation is different.

And if one or two, maybe even three researchers, with good track records, want funding for a long shot like this, I think that would be perfectly reasonable. It becomes a problem when it is declared as the one true way and clogs the whole r

There are fewer car models, and people tend to do more research before buying a car than a fridge. That means that if a model gets a reputation for being unreliable, it actually costs the manufacturer lost sales.

How about a physics theory that can’t be tested yet ? That is what they claimed all this time, and I think it is perfectly reasonable to fund a promising theory while they work out the details of how it is going to be tested. The problem w

I don’t have time to dig out some definitive study, but top google results list incontinence as a “common” side effect.

My point is that it isn't population considerations that make physicians reluctant to treat many cases of prostate cancer, but balancing relatively low risks of the cancer being aggressive against quite severe quality of life degradati

(I didn’t read the article due to paywall). The reason they are reluctant to aggressive treatment is because risk of side effects that affect quality of life, such as impotence and incontinence. Do you want to wear a diaper for the rest of

You can call the limitations of your knowledge about the exact state of a molecule a temperature, but that doesn't mean that any single molecule has an actual physical temperature in the same way as a collection of particles. You can s

I told you what I meant. Of course the drink gets colder, but that is not what we discuss.

A molecule isn’t liquid or vapour. A molecule doesn’t have a temperature.

The ice cubes will only get warmer and will never get cooler.

No, why do you think the outer layer will cool down? There will be heat transfer between the outer layer and the layer within, but at no point in time will the temperature of the outer layer be cooler than it was at an earlier point in time
