In my linked article, let me quote a small section:

"72% of women work in female dominated profession, and 68 of men work in a male dominated profession. Only about 14% women and 13% of men work in a profession that has a ratio of minimum 40% men and women."

If you want to champion for equality, start by removing gender identity from a person profession choice in life. The social status of a woman should not be determined by how feminine the job is, nor should the social status of a man be determined by the wages he earn. When people regard a hair stylist and garbage collector as equally acceptable job for a woman, or man who earn a small modest earning compared to working at a high risk, bad environment, low socially regarded job but with high pay, then we will have started to progress towards equality. Currently, the trend is the direct opposite and more professions is getting gender identity ingrained into the work culture than the year before.
Or you could read the book. I haven't (summer reading list, again). But it's got a 20-page bibliography, and appendices with all sorts of greek letters that define, well, a lot. I think.

The Black Swan was also by Taleb and probably the most influential finance book of the last 20 years, plus a great read for anybody thinking in 'systems'. It'd give the idea the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes words have no meaning, sometimes it takes some work.
The author doesn't argue that unit tests should be abandoned, so I don't see the point of your comment.

It's also contradictory to say that "features" can be tested as a single unit, aka function or class.
You are right its the exact same dashboard. I never said it was original. I've used the static version of crumtons project and turned it into a configurable webservice. While doing so I copied and modified code from the original project, wrote some tests and published it as is.

I didn't remember the name of the original author/project, until someone linked me towards the github page. Since then I've added a proper link.

It was never my intend to steal copyrighted material. I just wanted it to be done how I thought it should be done.

So that's your excuse for bad code quality?

>>Not only they’re expensive to develop, they also make very expensive to change things: you change a minor thing in the code, and suddenly dozens of tests are broken.

Sounds like bad orthogonality again. If i don't make any interface changes my tests continue to run as expected. Even with interface changes it comes down to design again. With bad starwars/spiderweb design with lots of coupling it gets harder. Which is my main point. You have to think this through starting at the design level.

so why not up the salaries of those professions until people stop moving out and start moving in? Market forces _should_ be used to equalize/stablize, rather than the hubris of trying to control the market via subsidies/indirect incentives. More often than not, those backfire.
I wouldn't trust any writing service that's unable to proofread its own promotional material. Blocking Tor exit nodes using CloudFlare might also be cause for suspicion.
Newspapers actually do have a shot at figuring this out. Some let you read a few articles for free, and ask for a small payment for more, some experiment with publishing platforms for per-article content via micro-payments (e.g., https://blendle.com), others simply make a selection of articles and news available for free to act as an advertisement for their paid subscriptions.
I'm saying that they would be prevented from writing those things if they also had to test them. Since they're not required to test their methods, they're free to write code that's pretty much impossible to reason about.

Nah, he just made a mistake. People make the occasional mistake. Crypto has to cover that, because it happens.

Another general during WW2 made the mistake of always including the same stock paragraph in every transmission. That's bad. That's an O(n) mistake, not an O(1) mistake.

And I suppose someone made an O(n) mistake if the British knew the names of a significant number of Bismarck crew.
Even your cheapest examples are expensive. It's about $150,000 ($100,000 to $250,000) in Palm Bay, FL. That's normal peaceful USA, with tech jobs and even kind of near the beach, not some decaying hellhole.

So make that a factor of 30, without even looking at bad places.
Hmmm. It makes sense for magazines, where people tend to flip the pages until something catches their eye. But in online content like this, it seems that once somebody's on your webpage and past the fold, a pull quote might not have a significant impact on whether they read the article or not. And for skimming/previewing, I suspect section headings are comparatively effective. Of course, I have no data to back that up.

For me, they just create stress when I'm reading. I see one of these pull quotes coming and I think "I should just skip this - I know they'll repeat themselves further down, or that this quote will be a repeat of something said earlier, so I should save myself the time and skip it." But then when I try to do that, the thought becomes, "but what if this quote is unique and not just some text copy-pasted from elsewhere? I need to read it, otherwise I might not understand the rest of this section." And of course, I see these pull quotes edging up from the bottom of the screen a few sentences in advance, and so all this thought distracts me and I invariably have to reread the surrounding text because of that.

Hopefully this is something particular to me and pull quotes don't cause others this kind of irrational stress. In any case, thanks for answering my question.

Unit tests as documentation in my experience is only true in a very minor, almost trivial sense, and for reasons that are very much in line with the subject of the original article.

For the most part, unit tests aren't organized around what a unit is supposed to do from a use case perspective, but more about how it happens to be implemented today. The article refers to this with the inability of most developers to indicate which business requirement would fail if the test failed.

When you're attempting to understand or refactor something where the testing for the most part tests the implementation of this particular unit rather than it's purpose, the tests themselves offer little in either documentation or refactoring confidence than the implementation itself.

What's worse, making your code "more testable" often compounds this effect. As code is taken to an extreme level of modularity, and unit isolation is enforced rigidly in tests, the tests often do nothing other than specifically test every line of the implementation of the unit (i.e. method 'foo' on class 'Bar' calls method 'a' on class 'B' and passes it's results to method 'x' on class 'Y', returning that result)

"phase out other taxes" is the gaping hole in that argument.

Property isn't just a market - its peoples homes and communities too - thats the other gaping hole. Why should Grandma need to move away so some Unicorn startup can move in?
It's not perfect, I'll admit.

I'm probably in a special area -- algorithms research. I tend not to use many libraries, and I'm often taking code written 10-20 years ago and wanting to get it working. The code is often VERY complicated, and I don't really want to reimplement it.

Finally (and probably most importantly) I don't care about security holes, I'm not going to run this code on malicious input.
> allow people on low income but with lots of land value to defer payment until death.

if this is done on land that people live in, it will still penalizes landowners unfairly. If your land was bought when it was cheap, and the value appreciated, you end up paying tax money that you didn't really "earn" - in other words, it's only fair if you get reimbursed when land value depreciates. Deferring it till death is just delaying the unfair value exchange.

Payment on sale is similar, but slightly less unfair than an annual tax.

> "phase out other taxes" is the gaping hole in that argument.

See eg http://www.georgistjournal.org/2012/10/16/the-unplumbed-reve...

When taxes fall, real estate prices rise by enough to make up for it. Capturing that rise is simple with a land tax. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_George_theorem for how that's a rather orthodex statement. Nothing outside the mainstream of economics here.)

The whole process is very economically efficient. Swap taxes on elastic economic activity like work or investing for taxes on inelastic land.
The shredding sabotage seems very interesting. There is probably a lot of unexplored space in creating resilient (self repairing) crowds and/or the tradeoff between opening up the crowdsourcing process and security/safety concerns.

A while ago I was thinking about how people spend a lot of their money on impressing others. Fancy clothes and jewellery, the red sports car, etc. Really all it is, is showing off how much money you've got to waste.

I like to make things more efficient, so I came up HIGHSCORE.MONEY – A public scoreboard you can participate in by simply paying. The more you pay, the higher you're place in the scoreboard.

Of course, it's a bit silly, but people can be silly at times so I figured I'd give it a shot and see what happens.

Curious to hear what the HN community thinks.
To be fair, I agree there's some bad code in there, and no real mention of any security concerns. Not good!
Most crowdsourcing systems hinge on trust. Too much trust, and exploitation and sabotage will occur. Too little trust, and nobody gets excited.

You cannot just give trust away like hugs. Trust must be earned. Trust is a social construct, and if that's not built into your system, your system is bound to fail.

Almost everyone will be honest and genuine, but that's not enough. It takes just one asshole in a thousand to burn down the building, if they have nothing to lose.
I'm surprised at the success of Indian Americans. What gives for their success?
Err. A SIM card which comes with a phone number costs me £0 for the SIM and £5 minimum top-up. £10 for the phone, though half my friends seem to have old phones they could probably lend me.

Are you in a country which doesn't have pay-and-go service?
Yes, your tax payment would go down, if the value of the land deprecates. (No, you wouldn't get last years tax back.)

This is not about penalizing. This is about two things: first, shift taxation from where it hurts the economy (income tax etc) to where it doesn't do any damage to incentives (land supply is perfectly fixed). Second, making housing more affordable for eg young people.

(There's also effect on NIMBYism etc.)

The actual tax is supposed to be on the annual land rent. We'd only tax the value of the land as an easy and reliable proxy. (And yes, we'd also tax the imputed rent, ie the virtual rent that is short-cut for an owner-occupier. Not just the rent that accrues to someone who rents to other people.)

Switzerland already taxed imputed rent. (Look up Eigenmietwert.)

From the paper [0]:

"Modified human fasting mimicking diet.

A single cycle of the modified fasting mimicking diet consist of Day 1 – pre-fasting followed by Day 2-8 – very low calorie diet. Day 1-prefasting consists of an 800 kcal (about 40% of normal caloric intake similar to mouse Day1 FMD) monodiet (fruit, rice, or potatoes) by preference of individuals. On the following day patients were recommended to use an oral laxative, Natrium Sulfuricum (20-40 g). FMD consisted of 100 ml vegetable broth or vegetable juice with 1 tablespoon of linseed oil 3 times daily, plus additional calorie-free liquids. The daily calorie intake was predefined with 200 – 350 kcal (10-18% of normal caloric intake similar to mouse Day 2-3 FMD). Patients were advised to drink 2-3 L of unsweetened fluids each day (water, and herbal teas) and to use an enema if tolerated. After the 7-day fasting period solid foods were stepwise reintroduced for three days, starting with a steamed apple at day 8. After the fasting and refeeding period a normocaloric, plant-based Mediterranean diet was maintained until study end."

I can't see that this is true - how is OOP better at abstraction? Or readability?
Honest question. What's the value of a test like this?

class MyObjectBuilder
def create(object)
if validator.valid?(object)
factory.save(object)
else
raise "invalid"
end
end
end

def object_builder_test_success
object_builder.mock(validator, mock_validator)
object_builder.mock(factory, mock_factory)

expect_method_call(validator.validate).return(true)
expect_method_call(factory.save).return(true)

object_builder.create(object)
end

def object_builder_test_failure
object_builder.mock(validator, mock_validator)
object_builder.mock(factory, mock_factory)

expect_method_call(validator.validate).return(false)

assert_raise(object_builder.create(object))
end

This test is both extremely typical for strong advocates of TDD and "testable" designs, and also almost completely useless in my mind. The test is literally a more pained version of the implementation of the method (not to mention that there's typically a lot more ceremony around setting up mocks than my pseudocode indicates)

It adds value in the sense that if someone randomly types garbage into that file it will break, but it acts as a barrier to refactoring or business requirements change, as pretty much nothing but the exact implementation of the method will satisfy the test, and offers no documentation benefit over the code itself.
In practice, it's not the same thing.

Here's a Java example where I want the type system to enforce that a method in `ClassB` can only be called from `ClassA`. However, the fact that `null` circumvents the type system makes this pattern just wishful thinking.

class ClassA {
private static final Witness witness = new Witness();

final static class Witness {
private Witness() {}
}

void callClassBMethod(ClassB classB) {
classB.onlyClassACanCallThisMethod(witness);
}
}

class ClassB {
void onlyClassACanCallThisMethod(ClassA.Witness witness) {
// ...
}
}

I think it is, because the "Google" or "Facebook" part isn't static in OpenID Connect, they're just popular defaults. OIDC doesn't care where it goes to authenticate, you can just as well enter your email, foo@example.com and the server will try discovery and authentication against example.com (which can then be running your own OIDC provider).

What we're working on (we will definitely post about it) is basically OIDC with a nicer UX, where the user enters their email, the domain is parsed out, discovery (of OIDC or whatever other protocol) is done, and the user is redirected to either their provider, if found, or to a default method of authentication (currently a link sent over email) to log in.

It really depends on how you view the world. If that view is all about money and consumption, then, yeah, you probably won't leave money on the table. There are, however, competing worldviews that offer different versions of the good life, and in my experience, there are plenty of willing to leave money on the table because of it.

> "Intelligence isn't very hard to measure. The methods to test it are quite mature."

Intelligence is a measure of aptitude, but aptitude applies to a broad range of activity, and not all aptitude is numerically quantifiable (in any meaningful sense, at least). For example, two broad categories of intelligence are academic intelligence and emotional intelligence. Excellence in one field does not necessarily transfer to all fields, otherwise socially gifted people would always make the best academic students, and from personal observation I can see this doesn't tie up with reality.
How do you know what the best choice is? Seems to me is just OOP by default, with very little alternative.
Ah, yes, it is pretty great for that. I especially love it for testing algorithm-heavy code, as it's not very well suited to code that's user-interaction-heavy.
There are many areas that are too expensive for me, and I just don't buy houses in those areas. That doesn't mean the people living in those areas are doing it at my expense, nor does it mean the government should intervene and subsidize a home for me.
If you have depression combined with ADD, OCD, Autism or ME/CFS, then you might want to look up "methylation" on the internet. Genetic testing can show if you have a defect in your methylation pathways, which can lead to these disorders, and to depression.

Good starting point: http://geneticgenie.org/

They even have an implementation of methylation analysis on this website.
