Wow, 7 lifes at stake and still managers can decide to "skip smaller text" because if it is smaller it is definitely less important... I agree: it's an awful slide. But the information was there. And I can imagine that the en

Clear, thank you! In the meantime, I've started watching the videos and they're excellent. I've found answers to many other questions there. Thanks for putting all of this together!

Thank you! I think I've got it now. So using the createNull version is very very similar to using a spy server, with the difference that with the null version the request is not sent at all. If I can, may I ask you another question? Ho

Thank you for your clarification (and for the article). Could you elaborate a bit more? I see the point of sociable tests, but I don't see how nullable infrastructure does not break the pattern itself. Or, actually, I only see one way

(Poster here) Agreed. Perhaps what differentiate those from "normal" mocks is: 1) They only apply to "infrastructure" (so databases, external services etc). Basically the article says: "It's okay to use mocks s

Has anyone used this and can tell how styling and media query/mobile support works? Can you build PWAs with it?

Someone else already commented on this, but doesn't _everybody_ just realize that this is way too complicated and error prone? Signigning a token (whatever that means, I never saw so much nonsensical jargon in my life) gives a random p

I was thinking about all of this while writing my question. I agree: I can just switch to another app. IF I find a better app, but can you find such a better app at all? I think that my question is more about this (which is resonated in man

I don't think this specific thing I am trying to solve is covered in a basic woodworking text. The table contains moving parts, and at this point I am trying to fix an existing design... But sure, I'll try that too! Thanks :)

Thought that I could replace lower-than-average communication skills with higher-than-average technical skills. The story goes that software engineering is about knowing how to design a system a build it. The truth is: you also have to know

I have a tiny fraction of the historical expertise of the author, but it has always been clear to me that Martin's books were a sad amalgam of utter misconceptions and stereotypes: around politics, religion, love, family... Which is fi

Thanks for sharing this. I imagine it had to be painful to write. Sharing such experiences help others in the same situation understand that it's not their fault: unfortunately, toxic people and toxic work environments exist. If you ar

I sincerely don't want to enter the pro- or against-Trump discussion (I don't care too much...), and at the same time I don't want to sound too aseptic toward the situation that Americans are going through. Forgive me for any

Thank you, so if I understood correctly, I should write the binary starting from the boot sector, and it can overflow and go on subsequent sectors too, because ape/ape.S will be at the beginning of the binary, and so the boot sector wi

Pieces like this make me want to find the original books and read them, I wonder how many more insights I could find there. C.S. Lewis seems to resonate particularly well with me and with how I reason (same holds for Chesterton). I think Le

This idea looks great, and it would be great if it worked: I've been struggling to keep all my documents organized many times, and I think I've followed basically the same system (except for the number.mapping). This is my gotcha:
