Isn't unit testing a subset of property testing? Seems like a unit test tests specific input and property testing tests more than one input.

Maybe folks should step back and ask themselves if it's their job to convince other adults that those other adults are wrong. Find something else to talk about with your loved ones and friends. Don't fall into the trap of letting

Ok, let's chalk the "self-funded" part up to semantics. > It has literally no impact on the deficit or our ability to pay off debt. By statute. This however is wrong. As a simple proof: let's just up social security p

That's how it was for me in college in the USA. As an aside, it's a little absurd that people wouldn't go to class given how much money they're paying. Private colleges are around $39k USD per year. That's a lot of

This quickly devolves into semantics as you pointed out. Do you mean that reasonably all people agree that murder, rape, pedophilia, etc. are bad? Aka if close to everyone thinks something, then that's an "objective" opinion?
