I assume you are sarcastic, but cannot figure out what your actual point is. Are you disputing integration tests can find some types of errors which unit testing will not uncover?

> Good lord. Why integration tests? Because they can find bugs and errors which unit tests cannot.

It complicated...Nazisms did not persecute Christians in general and considered Christianity a part of the German culture. Atheists were persecuted, and so where members of sects like Jehovah's Witnesses. They wanted a church which was

I think people forget GOTO was used instead of functions, if/loop blocks etc.

That comic is rather missing the mark. "Lego Friends" is definitely not intended for grown-ups nostalgic about Lego. But this set is definitely intended for adults, since they are designed as showpieces.

Yes and no. Their concepts of God have a shared historical origin (Judaism), but they are quite different. For example the Christian God (in mainstream denominations) is a Trinity composed of the father (basically Yahweh), the Son (Jesus) a

The term is perhaps not very precise, but it is a useful shorthand to describe fundamental conceptual difference between say Basic, Haskell and Prolog.

The premise is wrong - large complex projects breaking new ground are often late, over budget and error prone in other industries as well. The question uses Airbus A380 as an example of a complex project that was delivered in just five year

Yeah but Homer was considered history or mythology, not fiction. Homer didn't invent the characters or story line. I guess it is rather grey area, but I consider "fan art" art that is derivative of a specific artistic express

What new major paradigms do you think it is missing?

by olavk 9y ago
I think the programming paradigm is the foundation in the UX of a programming language. It is the basic conceptual model the language is presenting for the user. It influences almost all parts of the UX from syntax to debugging experienc

I'm not sure "fan art" has an exact definition, but I think the term only applies to art inspired by fictional creations, not art based on history or mythology.

I remember writing a JavaScript simulation to convince myself :) I think the reason why problem is so unintuitive is some subtleties in how the problem is posed. Monty does not just open a random door: - He always opens one of the two doors

That's like saying global variables are just a special case of variables, so it is "funny" global variables are discouraged while local variables and parameters are accepted.

Why is it amazing? A new platform delivers enormously simpler and cheaper development and deployment of cross-platform applications. Why is is surprising people adopt this platform?

by olavk 9y ago
The discussion was about why the web became a successful platform in the first place. There is no doubt "view-source" was a very significant factor in this. This is basically how the first generation of web devs learned the craft.

Honestly, the site has somewhat of a crackpot-vibe. Only major feature I understand from the site is "visible links", i.e. links displayed as actual lines on the screen. This seems more like a gimmick than a ground-breaking fundam

Historians do try to figure out the "real story", and much have been written about the "historical Jesus", but the practice of finding natural explanations of supernatural events is not well regarded because it is often

It is quite popular in fiction, bit it is not well-regarded in history or theology. The reason is it is pure speculation. Eg. you might posit when Jesus walked on water, it was actually ice. Sure, this makes the story more believable, but y

Well 90% of everything is crap (or is it 95% ?) We just disagree about what 10% is non-crap. Due to the financial structure of TV production, you can be sure the majority of what is produced is considered worth watching by somebody . In an
