The tests provide a useful confirmation step. You make a change and the tests go "Hey did you know that this affected the output in these 3 places?" and most of the time you did know that and update the tests, but often you see a

I have never used the % stat as anything more than curiosity but I have certainly looked at the highlighted reports generated to see large blocks of untested code which is genuinely useful info to see.

My favorite peer review trick is reverting the code change and showing that the test still passes. No tests will cover everything but its not hard to apply some simple tricks that raise the bar of actual coverage.

What if the flash data is corrupt, and the only way to restore it is to use an internal company program which I do not have access to? To me, the device is bricked. It does not turn on and I can not fix it. But to the OEM it simply requires

American's views of freedoms are a little wonky. In most of the world you can go about life with many transport options. You could drive, you could walk, you could ride a bike. While in the US the only realistic option is to drive. In

I have not seen any actual proof that the colour ones do exist. Other than the crappy 3 colour displays. I have only seen obscure demos or OEM store listings without much detail. From what I can tell, they are just regular LCD displays with

My stress levels plummeted after moving from a distant suburb to a city apartment. I haven't driven a car in months. All the walking has done wonders for my health, physical and mental. The only stressed people are the ones coming from

Only specific hobbies mostly limited to things with large motors. They can be even more accessible for other hobbies. For a very small fee, I can get a pass to use the local makerspace down the street and get access to machinery I would nev

I think a lot of people confuse "need to" with "like to" and assume the way they live is the only possible way. People are surprisingly adaptable to many life conditions and its quite easy to get away with not using a ca

We provide power bi access to the data our app runs on and it has been a mixed bag. The customers absolutely love it. But they build dashboards where hitting the refresh button can bring a super expensive db to its knees for half an hour. S

Apartments are still expensive but they are affordable. The average person could realistically buy one while house/land prices are rising much faster than savings so if you aren't already able to buy, you become further and furthe

Yes. If you don't trust microsoft and you use windows, than it doesn't matter what authentication system you use. If you used rsa keys for auth then you would still have a problem because microsoft could steal those keys.

This all can be broken down all the way to "do we have free will at all". Maybe literally everything is predetermined and is purely a response to the inputs. And then does it even matter what the answer to that question is? Is it

The ruby 3.0 binary is 19MB so I would assume at least that big. I don't think there would be really any downsides to packing it in since the chance of the user having two ruby programs using the same ruby version are close to 0 anyway

There is no government effort to MitM SSH. And if there was, it would immediately crumble because not a single person manually verifies their ssh connection.
