I've always felt the best approach for (automated) testing is: Unit test style tests should test the specification. That is, you test that good input creates the results that the specification states it should and you test that the kno

Isn't that to be expected for a "live" map?

Too late to edit: yes, I know this doesn't work for everything and won't work for everyone, but its worked great for me, so my point is simply that your assertion that everyone has difficulties dealing with dependencies is false.

I did use Bullet physics not too long ago, which most definitely isn't header-only, but the exact same approach worked there too. Git submodule, set include path. The only difference is that I also told my build tool to build its sourc

Doesn't seem to be a major problem in europe, where many countries have a legal drinking age of 18 or even 16 for beer. Besides, the law doesn't stop teens who want to drink from drinking, only from going to bars and makes them ju

Yes, Postgres' jsonb and array support lets you not only query into these fields, but also, like you say, index into them too. Its really the best of both worlds: you get a great solid relational database, but if you need document data

So... We should be using spreadsheets for machine learning and 3D graphics?

I absolutely love Postgres' JSON and array support. Its saved me from needing a document database in a few cases, which drastically simplified the overall deployment (one DB instead of two, or trying to represent relational stuff in a

Would this be correct: You take a marble out of the bag without looking and give the bag to your friend. Your friend also take a marble out of the bag without looking. Both you and your friend now look at your marbles and they will both be

Amazon claims its more than just a name change, that they learned from Lumberyard, but very little of Lumberyards code is in O3DE.

Its not even clear to me that writing faster and more code is necessarily a good thing, or, at least, that beneficial. I've said it in a previous Copilot discussion and I'll say it again, but actually writing code is a small part

IMHO its worse because on StackOverflow, people can comment, upvote/downvote, add their own answers etc if the random code has issues or shortcomings or is a bad idea for whatever reason. With copilot, you have to trust it or trust tha

They might be useful if they were exponential moving averages or something that adjusted more quikcly, so that you can see the trend shift. But in this case, you can clearly see the trend shift from the actual data anyway, so even that woul

If whoever is holding the patent is not using it for anything other than sue people, then I really don't care that Apple infringed it without licensing.

From the article: "Oh, and they're both wrong." "Both look plausibly correct at a glance" You would end up with tests that look plausibly correct, but test the wrong results.

A metacomment about the page (rather than the content): the text in the white boxes is almost unreadable for me, the contrast is crazy low.

Having done some Visual Basic with that a long time ago, the problem with it is that its not fine grained and there's no easy way to know if something failed. For example, you have a large procedure with a division by zero somewhere in
