I still like one of the defining characteristics of Unit Tests (paraphrasing Michael Feathers from memory): they are fast and cheap to run. Sure, they might not perfectly simulate production like integration tests, but they also don’t take

I think it was Audi that had an interesting compromise: a screen with a haptic joystick in the center console. Using this joystick was a bit more like sliding a puck around that would “stick” in certain places (to highlight UI elements). I

Unfortunately, they will probably respond by raising rates to cover lost revenue from early termination fees and the loss of lock-in. This is arguably better though, since there is up-front pricing. EDIT: Perhaps the only situation where it

The other issue with this is that sometimes people don’t tip servers because they liked the service / want to support underpaid staff / etc. People will tip in these situations because they want to be perceived by others as good t

Meanwhile, the boss still has their hand in the tip jar until a formal inquiry can get started and completed. Maybe in a year or so they’ll rule in favor of the employee and the employer will have to pay up… eventually. In the meantime, the

Where it’s probably more useful is for places like the northeast, where we typically will have a tornado warning or two a year. They aren’t the storms of myth and legend you find in the midwest, but they do cause damage and can kill people.

As a result, I'm sure "updating your stored biometrics" is such an alien impossibility to these agencies because they have completely bought into the myth that your biometrics never change.

When used out-of-the-box, go.sum is what provides the cryptographic guarantees of the contents of modules retrieved using go.mod. There’s a distributed log system akin to the TLS certificate transparency log that hardens the system against

True AGI would have the autonomy to tell you to go fly a kite. The unspoken truth is that none of the corporate interests want an AI that responds to your prompts with “No thanks, I’m not doing that. Why don’t you figure that one out yourse

Part of the issue is that there isn’t really a professional class that is dedicated to home Internet like other home services. For Joe Homeowner, they call the plumber to put in a new sink, an electrician to hang a light fixture, the HVAC g

Depends what the model targets. If I gave this problem to a bunch of musicians, they’d be pulling out features like the key, tempo, meter, chord progressions, any distinctive riffs or basslines, etc. Those are the things hashes could be bui

Perhaps that’s exactly why they don’t. They know there would be an exodus because they know what the install-base of ad blockers are in Chrome. Their market dominance is worth more than the marginal lost revenue from some ads being blocked.

Many antennas do this (screwdriver antennas come to mind), so I’d expect some similar ability to do this with exhaust. The only issue I can think of is turbulence from the seams of segments that extend.
