   No, property-based testing is something more like https://hypothesis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ -- it's like fuzz testing with some smarts and it is lovely where it fits.

   I feel this is all contentious because, like so much in coding, we have people taking Thing That Works For Me on their current project or in their experience over time and declaring it to be The One True Way while other people are in comple

   Yeah, it’s wild to me too, but I then remember purposely obtaining an eight track player in the 90s. My daughter has taken to vinyl for a time and now has a discman and it seems like a push back against the Illusion of Choice that music str

   > technical issues and social issues really don't mix I don’t think that’s true in the least. I think it’s true there are no technical solutions to social problems, but any and all technology comes from people forming societies and

   It tables so it works in Netscape 4? Hell it was probably Netscape 2 or something. Have Claude spin that up and run it. Oh yeah, and no cheating and using CSS.

   What does their margin have to do with anything? Or, what things do you think they should and shouldn’t be able to do given their low margins?

    Are you complaining about this project or RSS in general? Because your complaint applies to both. I loved the era of RSS readers. Maybe I never sent anyone money but it was never the point. That was a way to feel properly connected to an In

    I mean, run the experiment during a different trend in the market and the results would probably be wildly different. This feels like chartists [1] but lazier. [1] https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/chartist.asp

    Just because people make stuff up on certain corners of the Internet doesn't mean everyone does. Occam's Razor applies here: some guy who has been in the industry 25 years doesn't have any good stories to illustrate his point

    Is it an easy alternative to GitHub pages? That felt pretty simple when I was looking for a solution to this exact situation. Each requires some coding knowledge, but it feels like this is a bit more work. And why do I have to pay anything?

    Maybe? I am well aware/ don't care about watermelon ripeness because I find watermelon to be a complete waste of time 90% of the time. But now I want to poke them.
