If you've built a wrapper around the integration in your application logic -- such that handling the actual HTTP requests has been abstracted away from the rest of your application -- then you can use a mocking framework (like Mockito for Java) directly in the unit tests. If you haven't, or want higher-level / isolated integration testing, you can create a mock application that mimics GitHub's API, put it in a Docker container, and use a docker-compose.yml during testing to quickly spin up your new test environment.

Beyond not addressing the comment you're replying to, are you saying your reply doesn't also apply to CLI software?
I find with CLI there is much less to remember over time due to command history. If I ever ran the command in the past, I can see exactly what I ran. I don't have to remember as the computer does it for me. The only possible tweak this involves is upping your history, as many shells default to a short history.

The code for these is really short and elegant! Keep in mind when you want to make some graphics that aren't owned by the "king", the much more powerful (though some boilerplate is required) open source libraries like p5.js and three.js are capable of rendering these real-time in the browser!
Sounds like what you want is more along the lines of the Ion shell[1], rather than Elvish. It's written in Rust, and the performance well exceeds Dash (written in C), despite having a lot of features that Dash is unable to do efficiently. Go's just not a good a language for writing a shell, especially once you get into job control and signal handling, or if you care about performance.

Some of the great features you won't find in Bash or Zsh are the string and array methods[2], first class arrays[3], slicing syntax[4], tuple assignments[5], optionally type-checked assignments[6], ability to use functions within pipelines, typed function parameters, a much simpler syntax, and more. Many of the best ideas from Fish, Oil, Elvish, Bash, Zsh and other shells have been implemented or are in the process of being implemented.

The Morphic framework in Squeak Smalltalk was an excellent example of this idea. Every object essentially had a little REPL+IDE attached to it. The more standard Smalltalks weren't far off from this either. In just one afternoon, one of my coworkers wrote a utility allowing him to command-click anything in the GUI of our app and open a browser and inspector on it. The reason why he did that, is because he sorely missed an even more powerful utility of this type from his Symbolics Lisp days.

Joseph Kopser (www.kopserforcongress.com), founder and president of Grayline (tech consultants), earlier established the RideScout transportation app, and continues to work as a tech entrepreneur. He emphasized this experience as well as his 20 years as an Army Ranger. He said his campaign will "avoid ideological extremes": "It's in the middle that we can find the progress to move our country forward."

Hey! Creator here.

We agree - as independent of Twitter we have a considerable amount of freedom in how we build this. However Twitter can and should be doing much more. For example with a model they can start placing captchas before Tweets.

In addition to building the model we went about trying build our own bots. To do this we went on forums and contacted individuals selling "aged" accounts. It turns out its as simple as sending $4 over paypal to get a compromised account. These are accounts with histories, real followers, and real people behind them.

We bought 11 of these and were able to automate them within the hour of purchasing them. They also started receiving replies to their retweets and content almost immediately from all over twitter.

The ease of setting up these compromised accounts as bots was also incredibly worrisome. We've found high confidence heuristics to determine that an account has been compromised. If we can - Twitter should be able to as well.

We're ultimately a bit confused over Twitter's inactivity here. We also haven't heard anything from the company.

Here's our analysis if you want to read more.

But the very existence of their project raises an important question: If two volunteer data science students who are barely out of their teens can figure out how to hang out Twitter’s bad-actor bots, why doesn’t Twitter do the same?

Twitter has every incentive to lie, to minimize, to shove this under the rug. As a fairly recent IPO with virtually flat/negative user growth, and lots of fed up people (like me) abandoning the platform all together, it is desperate to squelch any negative info that Wall Street might use against it.

Unfortunately, there's no favorable outcome for Twitter shareholders in either case. Twitter fesses up about its actual percent of bots (reality is likely closer to 50 percent than the 5 percent it claims) and its numbers go down even more. Twitter continues to lie and folks like the ones in this article expose them ... not good either because every advertising dollar it's getting is "truthfully" reaching fewer actual humans.

As bad as this story may seem... it's nothing to the Demascus Titan Explosion... that really could have gone off

I'm not advocating full autopilot; I agree that safe trajectories can be harder to plan in dense 2d than in sparse 3d, and that military ships in particular often have high-level objectives that would be extremely difficult to formalize for input into a planner.

Rather, I'm doubting that going in a straight line at a target speed is correctly handled with a three-person steering wheel. My understanding is that the current OOD already has a trajectory planned through the workspace coordinate system (space, time) and gives orders in workspace coordinates ("go this fast") that are then translated into low-level control outputs ("set the rudder to X"). It sounds like in some cases the OOD even gives direct control outputs - "Prepare for X thrust in Y minutes". Certainly these low-level controllers can't be a good thing for the OOD to be spending cognitive resources on, and I'd be astounded if we can't replace that with a computer that translates directly from that trajectory to the control outputs.

That's why I used airplanes as my example, rather than, say, autonomous vehicles. A commercial airliner's path through the air to a safe landing is basically hard-coded. The task of the airplane's autopilot, then, is simply to follow that trajectory - and I'd guess that it's far more difficult for an airliner to follow a workspace trajectory than it is for a ship to do so.

Really, the hard part is going to be getting the trajectory out of the OOD's head. And even then, it'd be so much easier if the helmsman could execute "go this way" by punching "this way" into a computer instead of staring at a compass and directly and continuously controlling the rudder.

It's not "Funny". This forum's intellectual integrity is declining. OP, of course, made a statement of fact.
I don't have any particular evidence that this is actually true, instead of just noticing patterns in randomness, but something that feels like it works more often than chance is commuting right after 09:00 or 10:00, on the theory that a significant number of commuters have deadlines on the hour, so traffic might be less immediately after the deadline. It's not completely reliable, so I'm skeptical that it's real, but it also makes a good enough excuse to get me on the road earlier than I would otherwise, so that's nice.
That's a remnant from days past when I lived within walking distance of my office. These days I take public transport, but I still get off a few stops early so I can walk ~30 minutes before reaching the office. Even a short while when was driving to work I'd park ~2.5 km from the office. Mainly because I could park for free, but also again so I wouldn't miss out on my morning walk.
The main purpose of nuclear bomb is to deter nuclear attack by ensuring MAD. We should strive for a world where nobody has a chance to use nuclear bomb. And, currently, a handful of countries having them is the best way to ensure that.

If all countries claim to destroy their nuclear bombs and never ever make a new one, would you trust all of them?

Effectively what a Chromebook already is.

the first ones were released with a physical switch behind the removable (shock horror) battery. Later ones have a magic key press that do the same thing (though one variant that Google sold directly had a flaw where the state was stored in volatile memory).

This is how people install things like Crouton and whole Linux distros.

Note btw that by default a Chromebook updates silently in the background (in a fashion that Android gained with 8.0).

It has two partitions, one is active one is dormant.

when a update is released, it gets applied to the dormant one. And on the next boot, the two a flipped. If the newly updated partition fails to boot, the system will switch them back on next reboot. And if it succeeds, it will become the active one while the older version goes dormant until another update is released.

Keep in mind that little if any state is stored locally.

And frankly, if Mozilla wants to get back in the game they should consider producing a similar system that also offer a set of backend services (or collaboration with others that can offers said services) and the means of bootstrapping such services independently.

Because right now while Chromebooks are being adopted rapidly in USA and Canada, European nations a weary thanks to the question of where the data is stored and who can potentially access them.
So it allows microG apps which by their very nature are open-source to pretend they're Google Play apps?

When people start flooding off the service and the only people left are nazis and bots, what will their revenue look like then? It'll become the reddit of social media, with small, reasonable groups overshadowed by overwhelmingly toxic, hostile, and destructive forces.

How long until their blind eye towards harassment, racism, abuse, and booting collapses any value they have? How long until the average person perceives Twitter as a place where racists congregate and no one else can bring themselves to visit?

And when it does, will they pull a reddit and suddenly grow a conscience, miraculously saying "Oh there's a problem on our service and we're going to charge to the rescue!", or are they going to go 4chan and hide behind "freedom of speech" to excuse the filth their platform breeds?
For me, the real draw was how easy it is to setup a cluster with high availability and automatic failover. Having used MySQL in production on a mission critical web app for years, failing over between data centers and setting up replication again every time there was some kind of hiccup got very old very fast.
About half of those guy apps you're presenting are irreplaceable. The other half are not. GIMP, Paint, Photoshop, Lighttable, VLC, LuminanceHDR, Blender, firefox, chromium (image/video viewers/editors, web browsers) are all about looking at, creating, and modifying things that are graphical in nature. Thunderbird, a mail reader, is about looking at things that are textual in nature. Same with file explorers, archival tools, and text editors. These things work fine with a cli interface. Unreal/unity are a bit of a special case -- there's nothing that does exactly what they do from cli, because that's impossible, but it's more than possible to create large playable graphical video games directly with a text editor and a cli -- even if it's not possible to play them that way.
One of the creators here: Yup! Our current users are more engaged and active on Twitter than the average users.

Hey, I'm a creator of the tool written in the article!

In our model, we look at hundreds of features per account. Polarizing tweet content is not the only thing the model looks at. If an account is tweeting OC content, it's a clear indication that account is human.

Twitter's policy allows bots of their platform, and most are harmless! There are bots that tweet out the upcoming songs on a radio station. Unfortunately, a CAPTCHA would eliminate all bots, not the ones that spread fake news or claim compromised accounts.

>Too often it descends into methodology theatre and too rarely does it result in useful dialogue.

That must be because your studies have glaring methodology defects, like most of the social studies these days. (It's easy to predict the things you'll see: vanishingly small sample sizes, no preregistration, data massaging, etc.)

You however are trying to get other people to update on methodologically bankrupt information and, when asked for proof, are taking the high ground "I won't link to studies, it leads to methodology theater and I'm above that". With my apologies, your opinion that 'diversity leads to improved productivity' is unsubstantiated, likely false and you delude yourself if you think you are right.

I think that might be where we disagree. Without a competent security audit I think you are falling back to trust.

Open Source vs Closed source is not where I or the security professionals I know put most trust emphasis. I would enthusiastically trust something closed from Google over a rando open source project.

But back to the original point, even the most basic audit steps are the same on an open source project vs closed one. Observe what the binary does & inspect it for standard patterns.

That's a big part of Command and Control, the farther back in time you go, the greater the likelihood the design of the warhead was not one point safe and it wasn't at all assured that it'd take careful triggering to get a full or partial nuclear explosion. A decent chunk of later nuclear tests were to help make bombs one point safe. But even then, it there were absolutely rudimentary fail safes that basically worked on the honor system, for well over a decade.

Anyway you still have a mess on your hand if the explosives detonate but there's no chain reaction.

Hey, thanks so much!

The Wired take definitely left me cynical; it's all too easy to write a human-interest piece about ML approaches that don't actually work. But this is a much more concrete explanation of results, and I'm intrigued.

If you don't mind, could you offer any more clarification on your test/training set? I see the Medium piece talks about wanting to avoid selection bias from hand-classification, but the Wired summary just described hand-selecting 100 "ground truth" bots and then adding their followers. How did you know the followers were also bots? And how did you try to ensure the bots you selected were a reasonable sample?
Just my personal anecdote, but I have much more discipline in the office than I do at home. I get distracted by everything at home, and I procrastinate by doing things I couldn't do at work, like housework, watching tv, etc. I know myself enough to know that I cannot trust myself to work at home on a regular basis, and I'm more content with myself regarding my productivity at the office.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is this basically doing what Adobe & others have already done? The only difference I noticed is they're using a camera & image recognition as the input instead of the designer dragging & dropping 1 of the 150 components on to a digital canvas in a software application?

I do get that it's a demo that shows the possibility. I just feel I'm missing something that makes this stand out. I did only watch the first video & skim the article.
