Tests get implicitly tested by being run against code. When they fail in spite of the presence of no bugs then congratulations youve found a bug in your test.

Vibes, chernobyl and also the absurd cost of nuclear power. Poland is building nuclear power now though, after decades of burning epic amounts of coal (~85% of their electricity output). This is most likely coz it provides a route to cr

No, Germany drew negative attention precisely because it was turning off coal plants - without nuclear power.

It's wild how much shit Germany got for turning off gas, coal and nuclear power plants (which comprised about ~8% of their power) while Poland running on ~80-90% coal for decades without changing anything was nbd. It's almost as i

Id be more convinced that this was about malware and your security if you could turn it off. I think this is mainly just an attempt to kill things like newpipe.

Immigration is sucking support more from the tories than labour. They rode into power based upon a promise to do something about it and then massively increased it. Labour are recently leaning into being anti immigration because it's o

I learned on my own. If I were to recommend anything to read it would be to find a good book on refactoring or dealing with legacy code. I read design patterns books when i was younger but in retrospect that was a hindrance more than a help

I find it is slightly slower (maybe 20%) than two individuals alone but the quality is quite a bit higher and the effect of this higher quality compounds over time (i.e. less tech debt -> fewer bugs, faster development on future code). I

I dont think this is a good idea, actually. Good design is about making good trade offs at the right point in time. A code base with excellent design will show you the end state but not how it got there but probably not the trade offs and d

I wonder how long it'll take to percolate up to the C level that it's useful for code reviews and search and a liability for actual coding.

Compiler could be faster, I guess but apart from that Rust has all of those things.

Hopefully theyll all become plumbers or schoolteachers or something. There's a glut of junior dev talent and not enough real problems out there which a junior can apply themselves to. This means that most of them simply arent able to g

I tried out one project because of these attributes and then scrapped it fairly quickly in favor of rust. Not enough type safety, too much verbosity. Too much fucking "if err != nil". The language sits in an awkward space between

Go is a pretty good example of how mediocre technology that would never have taken off on its own merits benefits from the rose tinted spectacles that get applied when FAANG starts a project.

I suspect it comes down to how novel the code you are writing is and how tolerant of bugs you are. People who use it to create a proof of concept of something that is in the LLM training set will have a wildly different experience to somebo

An LLM would be more efficient at this task, truth be told.

The US exports very little to China, most of which is easily substitutable (e.g. soybeans, corn, oil) and imports a lot, most of which isnt substitutable (e.g. electronics). The substituability story was different ~5-10 years ago and a lo

Calling Trump's bluff is rarely an unwise move. China was similarly unmoved by the threats America made. Europe was moved and they got an absolutely horrible trade deal.
