No doubt that it's easy to mess up Group Policies. He's not wrong in that you have to very clearly read each one's description because different policies expect you to do different things sometimes to do the same things. That's definitely not new to Windows 10, and arguably just bad design on Microsoft's part; there appears to be no standardized design pattern to how GPOs should function across the whole Windows team.

Interesting article but I think the number of projects (100) is very low for valid conclusions.

If you have already automated the process maybe you should try adding more projects.

>Unit Testing Appears to Make Complexity and Method Length Worse

I think it is the other way around. People are forced to write unit tests for complex and big methods. So not as negative as your present it.
One of my favorite perks of Phoenix vs Rails is no wasted time trying to figure out where the heck a method/function came from. Is it from the parent class? One of the included modules? Or perhaps not defined anywhere at all, with method missing magic? Going from that to explicit imports is refreshing.
Perhaps one technique to help people do this would be to draw signs that suggest two lanes merging rather than one lane ending and one continuing.

So for example if you have some flashing lights to mark the end of the lane, also put some flashing lights on the side of the road next to the other lane. That way people think "these lights are on both sides of the road, squeezing us down into one lane" rather than "these lights mark the end of that lane, while this one continues"

You are absolutely correct. GLSL shaders were excruciatingly difficult to test and debug, before tooling caught up. As a result, I took great care to write small and easily understood functions. It did much to improve my work in Python and C++, where debugging and unit testing were available.

It's irritating to devise guidelines for good development, in general, and then have people build a cult around them. People honestly believe that unit testing is the only incentive for writing good code. This is equivalent to ascribing all good things to Dear Leader and all bad things to an out group.

Isn't the point of the whole architecture that from a security perspective all IO will always be through JavaScript.

It's for the community to make nice libraries that expose the browser features to WebAssembly land in JavaScript. It's also the right place to deal with cross browser differences.
I strongly disagree that there is no such thing as responsible censorship. Furthermore censorship is not always, "...just as bad."

As an extreme example of good censorship look at child pornography. We have laws that prohibit speech in the form of harassment. Some countries prohibit anti-abortion protestors from harassing women trying to get an abortion. There are lots of cases where censorship is good.

However, those two calls to unsafe rely on an invariant maintained by the rest of the code that is not marked unsafe. Effectively, the entire module has to be treated as unsafe code by the programmer.

Advantage over what? This can be said about the majority of programming languages

My guess is that both variables in these results are almost entirely driven by external factors. Team size, whether it's pro or side project, deadlines, experience/talent of developers, whether tests are required or optional, the language. Hard to draw direct correlations given the sample size.

> private methods should be executed and thus indirectly testable by public methods.

Many people would count that as integration tests. Because if you don't call the method directly, it's not a unit test, for some reason. (I guess it depends whether you consider the unit to be the class or the method.)

Some of those people will also say that not being able to "unit" test a method is actually a bad thing. I personally don't care much, as long as I can make sure the code works somehow.
I'm curious what language and techniques you mean this applies to.

In my experience, I've seen a lot of code that was written in a way that was not unit-testable, for what was the same reason that later turned out to be poorly-maintainable.

Yeah, I should have been more specific in my comment: I don't mean type systems like in Agda or Idris or Coq ..., but where writing down the types is not a big deal, because otherwise you are doing theorem proving with all the associated costs.

The Concorde was a project that could have only happened due to the lavish government spending by Britain and France, as well as the tying in of national pride. It made no economic sense at all, and they hardly made any of them.

The 20707 Boeing effort was more practical, but had the same genesis as the Concorde. It was also canned once the US pulled the funding and the oil shocks showed it would likely never be profitable. At least they stopped throwing good money after bad.

The 747 was considerably more practical, and completely demolished the competition for years. It was the result of Pan Am (which owned the international flight scene at the time) coming to Boeing with real requirements, instead of just national pride, for a much larger jet. Boeing also decided to make it possible for it to be a freighter as well.

The 747 was the truly revolutionary plane.

There's nothing pedantic about what I wrote. When people say software X has Y lines of code, they're always talking about the code written specifically for that program.

In fact, if it was clear that it was configuration lines, it wouldn't be a good title, because it's not particularly impressive: for example in Wordpress you just need to change 4 lines of wp-config.php to start using it.
You're considering the "call into C" case, which is only half the story. "C calls into you" will always be easier in C++ and Rust, or any other language with "no" runtime, than heavier languages that rely on them. Yes, it can work, but it's a disadvantage.
A bit of context as there seems to be confusion: building a git-based website with content as markdown / yaml / json / etc is a pretty pleasant way to work. Changes are fast and easy, and branching and rolling back works really well. Git is really good at what it does for both code and content.

The only problem is it typically locks out less-technical contributors, so it's often with a bit of sad resolve that I've then brought Wordpress into the equation—just to empower other editors.

This is an alternative. The Netlify CMS cleverly provides CMS UI that then commits editors' changes via git (with no git knowledge needed), so they look to me just like another contributor. Since content is managed in static files, any participant can use any tool to to participate.

Some developers love Wordpress with it's ecosystem of plugins and capabilities. This is not for them. Other developers would rather not run Wordpress, yet are just looking for a way to bring in other contributors to a web project, working in a compatible workflow. Those devs, I think, will relate to the ideas of this CMS.
Strange that only the red cover (data) free eBooks are listed. Will the cyan covered books also be available?

As a side note, I've noticed OReilly Kindle books on Amazon are subject to dynamic pricing strategies. For example, one book I have in a list fluctuates regularly between $24 and $36

I've haven't purchased a single OReilly book since they removed the option to buy DRM free eBooks directly from their website.
To be fair, it's a quantum example.

Having watched somebody die miserably over weeks in a hospital hooked up to machines and being treated like an object I think being drugged up is vastly preferable. There was almost no warmth or comfort in the process.

> The Lisp version would just not be as performant as Ada's and Rust's.

What makes browsers perform badly is the execution of all that Javascript.

In Lisp, we can scan Javascript and go to machine code with far less work than doing the same thing in Ada.

The Ada browser might beat the Lisp one on the raw rendering of a big HTML-only page.
For kernel-level programming, I think Rust is basically the same as C or C++ in this regard. I haven't seen a kernel written in Rust where I am convinced there is a submodule that can be treated as if its correctness doesn't impact the safety of the entire kernel.

This may be right when the lane you're merging out of is actually ending, but most of the time when people are forced to merge out of a lane it is because they're merging out of an exit lane. If you merge late out of an exit lane you're jamming up the exit lane. Don't do that.

Why do we expect fewer lines of code with more unit tests? I don't quite follow this.
Similar to what seems to constantly happen on AV Club with their TV reviews. A reviewer who has no interest in the material is assigned and their reviews are awful.

Possible something like that could happen with a game review site.

Some seem to use (their personal idea of) unit testability as a proxy for maintainability or quality. That is often invalid.

I've written some high-quality code and tested it to death¹, only to be told that it probably wasn't unit testable (because dependencies were hard coded instead of injected, IIRC). Making that code unit testable would have complicated it, thus lowering its maintainability.

Jeff's article is spot-on as always. I'm a bit surprised that any of this still has to be mentioned, but I guess people forget. It's the same reason why I would never go to Roger Ebert for a movie review: he and I like drastically different things.

That said, please allow me to make two suggestions to anyone reading this:

1) Check out more of Jeff's blog. His writing is fun, excellent and educational. Even if you only care about tech it will be interesting for you to read Jeff's frank discussion of his game sales numbers and the challenges he has overcome almost single-handedly coding and writing his many games.

2) Give Jeff some of your money. His games are unapologetically targeted at people who enjoy rpg elements, turn based combat and an interesting story. If that sounds like your cup of tea then buy one of his games if you like the gameplay video.

On the other hand some people are worried about the rise of a ruling elite centralized in government, media, and universities, with a partial influence and cooperation of the military industry. The deep state.

This group of decision-makers would like the public to think they operate on behalf of the interest of the state and act on the basis of "scientific principles".

Arguing that this is essentialy social control and that this constitutes the basis of the "tyranny of the elite" may not be flawed.

There's always the need of a balance between extreme tendencies. The liberal premise that the political elite has the right and obligation to make fundamental decisions on behalf of the mass of citizens has its limits.
