This is a serious problem with professional software development — programmers see testing as a chore, and self-indulge in the implementation.

Just judging by eye, I'll bet in both of those designs the "Team/Member" text would fail one of the WCAG grades. Thin, light grey text on a white background is not really very good design.

Unfortunately I think you’re a few thousands years too late with your idea. ——— Come on. This a forum full of otherwise highly intelligent people. How is such incredible naïveté possible?

I'm… not really sure what point you're trying to make. The russian soldier's motivation is manufactured by the putin regime and its incredibly effective multi-generational propaganda machine. The same propagandists who openly

Are you going to ask the russians to demilitarise? As an aside, do you understand how offensive it is to sit and pontificate about ideals such as this while hundreds of thousands of people are dead, and millions are sitting in -15ºC cold wi

I'm in Ukraine now. Tell me how your ideals apply to russia, today.

Somehow I don’t get the impression that US soldiers killed in the Middle East are stoking American bloodlust. Conversely, russian soldiers are here in Ukraine today, murdering Ukrainians every day. And then when I visit, for example, a tech

Military defence is not immoral.

Military technology is a public good. The only way to stop a russian soldier from launching yet another missile at my house is to kill him.

The only way I would approach a problem like this is with NixOS and nixosTest/runTest. Development iterations can be against local VMs, and then you can fire it at AWS when you're confident it works correctly.

Ok. I'm not convinced at this point, because I don't know how Besson allegedly wanted the scenes to be filmed. And that isn't to say I approve of Luc Besson's choices in his personal life — I find the idea of a romance b

I watched the director’s cut again last week, and I don’t see this at all. The Leon character explicitly refuses Mathilda’s… well they’re not even propositions are they.

> He was certain it was due to DEI (in the 80s!) Why wouldn’t it have been that in that decade? The concept of DEI (whether or not it was specifically called as such) has been around at least far back as the 1980s. I think it actually go

I’m talking about what soft power Apple or Google could hypothetically leverage.

This sarcasm is not constructive, and it’s only making yourself look bad. Soft power is a thing, obviously.

Hey, I implemented a scrappy version of your TODO or else idea several years ago. Certainly not as sophisticated as what yours sounds like. https://jezenthomas.com/2015/10/using-git-to-manage-todos/

I am ignorant and I don't know how to quantify any of these things, but it just seems strange to me that entities accounting for such a large part of the US economy have no leverage over 47. A topic in the news lately is the upcoming m

> It’s folly to think these CEOs should steer their companies into direct confrontation with Trump. …Are Apple and Google combined really not powerful enough to take on Trump? This smacks of learned helplessness to me.

Security by obscurity is actually useful, to some degree.

Could you add substance here? The egregious corruption in the current US administration is something we are all witnessing in real time. This is not rhetoric.

Let's just pick one, so as to not get distracted. > The Iraq War started with around 62% support. I think the essence of my question is what did "support" look like here? I can empathise with the position that the invasion
