I find if you figure out the right unit boundaries, and find a good way of testing the code, you can often keep the tests around long-term, and they'll be very stable. Even when you update the code you're testing, if the tests are
212.
by MrJohz 1y ago
Yeah, that's similar to how I'd look for the correct place to put my tests. But at that point, a unit test is just the innermost layer of tests, which doesn't feel like a useful distinction. In your example, I might have a se

In general, fast tests are a must-have, but I find that means figuring out how to write fast integration tests as well so that they can also be run as part of a TDD-like cycle. In my experience, integration tests can generally be written to

by MrJohz 1y ago
I've never really found this to be the case in practice. When I look at well-written unit tests and well-written integration tests, they're usually doing exactly the same sort of thing and have very similar concerns in terms of co

It does split off part of Russia, I believe. The Florence meridian works slightly better for avoiding splitting any landmasses. As I understand it, it's not the best location, it's just good enough and was very popular for histori

That sounds like it wasn't superfluous, because it convinced s major holdout to change, no?

I think the big difference there is that browsers are only responsible for Javascript, which is a big general purpose solution that solves a lot of problems and not just templating/styling XML. Everything else either happens server-sid

Wasn't this whole discussion sparked by a fairly significant bug in the libxslt implementation? There's also a comment from a Chrome developer somewhere in this thread talking about regularly trying to fix things in libxslt, and h

Sure, but this requires someone sitting down and writing the JS polyfill, and then maintaining it indefinitely. And for something as complicated as XSLT, that will surely be indefinite maintenance, because complicated specs beget complicate

It's harder when the source or the destination isn't all indented in quite the same way, which happens often if you start a block, press enter and end up on an indented line, and then paste the code. I don't really get the re

I actually use Helix so I don't use that either, but I figured ctrl-S would be the more well-known shortcut for communicative purposes.

For Go, they have a statistic from a few years back that suggests about 98% of a cross section of real-world Go projects are formatted according to gofmt. ( https://jmoiron.net/blog/fmty-dmpty ) I can believe Rustfmt and

The biggest advantage if you can avoid significant whitespace is that it's usually a lot easier to manipulate text if you don't have to worry about the whitespace being correct. For example, when I'm copying and pasting Javas

ESLint these days doesn't have any styling related lints (unless you opt into them) which means that it works out-of-the-box with Prettier (or Biome's formatter, presumably). My fear with Biome is missing out on type-aware lints,
226.
by MrJohz 1y ago
This is not my experience at all. In my experience, it's often quite useful being able to run code that doesn't fully type-check, as long as I do make sure everything's correct by the time I commit it. For example, I might be

Async/await was implemented according to the ECMAScript spec - for a while it existed in typescript but not yet in browser runtimes, but it was fully specced out as a javascript feature rather than a typescript one. And when configured

by MrJohz 1y ago
It's useful as a tool for communication and simplification. Ignoring those features, typescript is just javascript with type annotations, which makes understanding how something works easier. I've worked with a number of developer

by MrJohz 1y ago
This is true but these are also old features, and the TS team have stated that they will not add any more features like those, and to a certain extent regret adding them initially (particularly decorators, which iirc were added because the

I think it's not fair to say that Typescript isn't about improving safety, just that the mechanism isn't the same as with other languages. Typescript had always allowed you to ignore the type checker (in fact, the default con

In fairness, I've not used GL in a couple of years, but before that I used it a lot, and it all worked, but it never worked very well. Issue organisation was painful, and there was always some new trick that made it slightly easier but

As I understand it, the issue currently is that there's not really a framework for justifying or balancing those costs. Right now, the bat conservation people point out that the route will potentially eradicate a particular subspecies

Look into hybrid smart watches. Withings are fairly good, but there are a handful of alternatives. They're watches that use mechanical hands like a normal watch, but also include smart components like health tracking and notifications

That'll depend a lot on the context and the client, I imagine. Comptime and the minifier can be distributed in a fairly standard way as part of an NPM package's dependencies, so if you're shipping to a system that can handle

This can be used as part of that step (i.e. converting `foo()` into `true` or `false`), but I think the expectation is that you'll have another step in the build process that automatically strips away `if(false)...` statements and inli

Maybe twenty years ago, but these days it's pretty common to have hour-long delays, or to have trains be cancelled at short notice, or rearranged such that you won't get a connection. When traveling East/West, I'd pretty

It also can transparently run tests directly in a browser rather than mocking the DOM, which is a very cool feature that I haven't used enough yet.

Isn't that exactly the syntax being recommended? Could you explain what exactly in the article is a solution in search of a problem?

Part of the design of the feature is that the website doesn't have to specify "on hover" or "on focus", but instead they can just write "eagerness: moderate" (or "conservative", or "eager&qu

The point of this proposal is to bring this feature under the control of the browser, which is probably better placed to decide when preloading/prerendering should happen. It's already possible to do something very similar using J
