This is a false equivalence. As long as the progress is set correctly via messaging (queue) to an alternate UI thread, the time lost will be under a millsecond. The naive print loop you provide is obviously IO bound and print is a blocking

Newer means different. Older means different. Different CPU meet differently optimized code meet different cocoa framework. Narf!

Testers are like McDonalds cashiers. They will eventually assimilate with the self checkout. Now, they may be able to get a job servicing the soda machine if they count their blessings.

exact tests on implementation at the "db was updated properly" category are usually classified as integration tests. theres nothing wrong with those. but one shouldnt test specificity of internal method code for small units.

checking for an insert into the database in the most general fashion is okay. checking for the exact dynamic data?? you are basically copying your code.

A stub on the iterator interface would do it..but like I said..terrible use of testing

He means you test pure functions and mutations. You dont stub data sources that your implementations use to see if they were called. tests need to be about enforcement of correct interface exposure. not exact implementations. its one of the

Because tests should not be more verbose than code. Refactoring the sumArray method to use map instead of a for loop shouldnt break tests. it is terrible terrible practice to take internal implementations and then stub their callees to make

Testers to programmers is like cashiers to cooks at Mickie Dees. I think you are resentful that your job can be automated and thus, the value of what you do is quite low.

Deprived of happiness is terribly conspicuous. For optimists, this fact plays no part in their existential computations. For pessimists, however, it is axiomatic. Whether a pessimist urges us to live “heroically” with a knife in our gut or

Dont forget that a computer program exists in the physical world. It is not unlikely for AI that understands self, to also want to preserve self.

Fortunately, evolution selected for intellect even though it might have initially have been past a minimum fitness/energy valley. Id encourage you to rethink this simplistic view that ignores the general tool that developed in order to

Some questions: We act like stimuli are exact things but the brain is all about abstraction. In fact, a certain amount of entropy/information enters your beain every day from vision, smell, touch, etc. Its not stored in full fidelity.

This article is absolute humdrum. Functions are not the atoms of programs. We now have classes, lambdas, generators, events, streams, etc. There are ways to organize code without sticking every little one time used code into a function. Poo

If you actually read my post more closely you would see I said any two orthogonal dimensions, that could be two spatial dimensions..not necessarily including time.

I agree. Most of mathematics is taught as calculations without motivation. If it was taught as the study of systems, and a toolbelt to understand the universe, more people would be passionate about it. All we can do is show the light to oth

Mathematics is the study of objective truth in a universe that has certain rules. How could knowing the universe in all its glory be boring? Wish they taught this rather than calculation at school. It's very uninspiring to not realize
