Sure, but only some of the unit tests are about values. Others, at least in my experience, are any handing various aspects of the implied types of values, and those can largely be removed. Moreover, a good type system can also force the val

One of the big advantages of Rust's type system is that, if you decide you want to change something (add a parameter, give a type a lifetime, rewrite an entire module), you can just do that, and then follow the errors until they'r

I'm not a business person, so take this with a grain of salt, but my understanding is that this is common for a lot of smaller startups and tech companies. If you can raise funds outside of revenue (i.e. outside of directly selling you

It's not about "fixing" it, it's about choosing what you want to be consistent with. You can either be consistent with the DOM API (e.g. `document.getElementById().className = "hello"`) or with HTML (i.e. `cla

by MrJohz 2y ago
In fairness, `className` makes a lot of sense given that the native DOM uses the `className` attribute rather than `class`. In that sense, it's a consistent choice, just a consistent choice with the DOM rather than with HTML. The bigg

I've wanted something like this for a while, although I've not looked into it much. That said, the snapshot search either isn't working, or isn't doing what I'd expect it to do. If I search for `fsf`, the snapshot

I could believe that. Plus, because both of those are more dynamic, they're going to have to do more work per request anyway, meaning the effects of scraping are exacerbated.

Is this really more friction? I can very easily imagine creating an alias that runs `git push && gh signoff` for the cases where I know the tests have passed, and I can equally easily imagine running that alias and forgetting that

It typically takes me maybe an hour to update my dependencies? I run type checks and e2e tests as part of that to have a relatively high degree of confidence that nothing has been broken. Also splitting the change into multiple steps (i.e.

Surely if this is about creating a step in a checklist, all you need is a box to tick in the PR template, and that would be an even simpler version of this, requiring far fewer moving parts and being easier to use. I think part of the criti

Fwiw, I run a pretty tiny site and see relatively minimal traffic coming from bots. Most of the bot traffic, when it appears, is vulnerability scanners (the /wp-admin/ requests on a static site), and has little impact on my overa

Well, there's libraries like this one, which is the point here. And even in JS, Temporal won't be available broadly for a good while yet (it will probably be rolling out in Firefox in a couple of months' time, but in Safari i

I've definitely seen this in real life, but recently I've started trying to actually watch when people use these interfaces, and they usually seem very slow - lots of hesitation, lots of mistakes, lots of repetition to do very sim

The Date example is possibly an even better example of why dependencies that get hard problems right are so important. If Python's datetime library is bad, Date is truly terrible. Every time I have used it I have regretted it long term
375.
by MrJohz 2y ago
The issue isn't that the comparison should be valid, the issue is that datetimes should not be dates. At best, there is a "has a" relationship, but there shouldn't be an "is a" relationship.

No, it's more like a type reflection system, at least as I understand it. You can use it to parse types, but you can also do a lot more than that.

Apparently this is an EU/US thing, because here overtime and on-call is always paid extra (as is essentially anything beyond your usual 40 hrs/week, or whatever you've got in your contract). That said, I also see very few job

This has the advantage compared to OP's solution that it will also work if JS doesn't load correctly (as opposed to if it is blocked/deliberately not loaded). You can add this line to the end of the main JS file that you&#x2

Python 3 is not that different from Python 2. Yes, if you're a mindless interpreter designed to specifically parse and evaluate Python 2 code, you're going to have a hard time with Python 3. Thankfully, software developers are h

In my experience, people write overly short commit messages when they're writing too many commit messages. The solution is usually not to teach people to write better commit messages (although that's also good), but to teach them
