   Be careful that coverage is a proxy metric to good tests. Striving for high coverage can mislead you on the quality of your tests.

   I think OP meant dropped as in "did not include," as opposed to made a reference to. The author set up a sentence that could have, but did not, contain an oxford comma.

   When you say Asia, are you including China? It's likely that the situation is different in each country, and grouping "Europe and Asia" versus the "US" leads to a pretty sweeping generalization.

   I wrote a similar library to this called Hyperbuffs[0] in Elixir. The goal of the project is to document and build your endpoints using protobufs, but to allow the caller to choose either protobuf or JSON encoding for content and accept typ

   I've been recently starting work on an Ethereum client in Elixir. One of the goals of the project is to make the code clean and understandable. Looking through the repo could be good supplemental reading (for a different but similar bl

   If you look over Elixir's doc [0] on binary strings, they take the best of both worlds. The APIs are specifically crafted for least surprise, e.g. with `String.length()`, `byte_size`, `Strings.graphemes()` and `String.codepoints()` fun

   Erlang has arbitrary length integers by default, and I've found it to be incredibly liberating.

   It sounds like law of one price only refers to goods where there is an arbitrage opportunity. If the goods have different intrinsic values, then they would have different prices, which I believe is what the original comment is arguing.

    My first thought was to remove "Vegan Butter" from the chicken recipe (or move it into a "Dietary Substitutions"), but then I realized my forked recipe would probably just be lost in the void. Maybe the goal of forks sho

    I mean, Java compiles down to a byte-code, which can be decompiled. If that were a limitation of decompilers at a time, it's likely not now. There's no way to "hide" instructions.

    You don't need biased subjects to have ambiguous results. Suppose for instance all people from group A can taste chlorine at 20ppm, and below that threshold, those individuals have no perceived chlorine taste. Individuals from group B

    Or have it pull from two sources, one local (S3) and one remote (GCE or whatever), and make a hard positive from either source signal "down." Otherwise the page would be down if just the remote source were down.

    I would argue most software engineers perceive a huge rift between "I am comfortable violating some software patents" and "I am comfortable exfiltrating large swaths of my employers code base." I would hope so at least.

    The majority of software companies don't hold any patents (aside of copyrights). As such, it doesn't seem necessary that patents are the only means to profit from "inventing."

    The immutable nature helps with 1) reasoning locally (you can always understand exactly what happens in a function by reading the function itself) and 2) debugging. Additionally, dialyzer provides a very nice (optional) typing system for er
