It would be used by 1% of the population, with the other 99% using something else that looks much like what we have today.

I doubt they have the capability to cause whatever information you provide to magically become valid. Perhaps they do additional checking and notify you if there is an error. If that is what it is, then that is what they should say. The sen

It seems unlikely that it would be that easy. If it were, you'd see lots of unregulated stock markets out there in the wild (which, to my knowledge, is not the case).

It would not be a big loss if this sentence were never expressed. I allowed for edge cases in my previous comment, and this is such a one.

It's an analogy.

Lots of people have different opinions on this. You're entitled to yours, but I think it's hasty to call it bad advice. I'm not so worried about http.Client behaving incorrectly, but I am worried about the server I'm tar

Perhaps, but y=x+1 and u=v+1 are the same, even if they use different terms. Likewise, y=x+1 !== y=x-1, even though they use the same terms. It's really unclear to me that much harm will be done if everyone speaks the same language, an

The general theory is that, although you're focused on the code under test, if the underlying dependency is not behaving as expected, you want to know that. Mocks create an opportunity for your code's expectations about your depen

Pretty good advice, except the preference for interfaces to support mocking. You should avoid mocking when possible in favor of real objects or fakes. Interfaces are still cool, though.

That is a bad idea. The Soviet Union was a shitty place to live, and its economic policies were disastrous. As I pointed out in the comment you're replying to, this problem has already been well-solved by simply expanding the locus of

If anything it might be a little low. For example, "senior" engineer at Google (a rank you can hit in less than five years if you are competent) pays 250k according to GlassDoor[1]. The other competitive BigCos are similar, some p

The other democratic societies who have solved this problem seem to belie your claim. The issue here is that the unit of democracy for this problem is too local.

It's down from 47 to 45, and it's almost impossible to attribute this to these bugs with any reliability. Yes, there was some initial panic in the first days after the bug. You can see this in the volume the day after it was annou

I think the big institutional clients are always evaluating AMD, and even more exotic options. But I don't think this bug has materially affected the equation here. Savvy buyers understand that there will occasionally be bugs, and th

I'm skeptical that Intel really has that much of a problem, and the investors in the stock market seem to agree. Intel only has a problem if alternatives come to be seen as economically viable. And right now it doesn't seem like t

I don't think it's necessarily true that good games will sell. Some will, sure, but others may not. There are massive numbers of games that fly under the radar and never really catch on, and some of these are bound to be good. Lik
