A lot. And for good reason. I generally guide people away from the negativity around the thought of "it takes longer to write tests than code". Coding is simply the logic put into the language you are writing something in. Programming is the act of thinking and solving the problem and then putting it into code.

If someone said they take longer to think about the code than to write the code, we'd instinctively guide them towards saying that's natural.

Writing tests is very much a way of thinking through a problem and bringing clarity to exactly which piece you want to solve at the time. That is always going to take longer because it involves thinking through the problem first. It's natural.

The answer to how much time is invested into writing tests?

For me, it's usually more than the time taken to write the code to pass the tests. By the time I'm done writing the tests I know what I need to do to make it pass.

A second answer to the question is, as much time as it takes. Because I definitely don't want to repay that time later in the form of regressions and stress when change comes knocking at the door.

IOTA has been notoriously famous for rolling their own flawed hash function which allowed researches to develop a working PoC for hash collision attacks.

Yikes.

IOTA also relies on a centralized sever owned and operated by David Sonstebo which takes periodic snapshots so transactions can be rolled back if the IOTA devs ever feel the want to. https://domschiener.gitbooks.io/iota-guide/content/chapter1/...

Everyone loves a winner, on some level. But are sports stars generally popular with the public or among their peers, or teammates?

Michael Jordan, was/is endured to the public for his talent and work ethic, but I don’t believe he was adored quite the same by teammates or opponents.
Counter steering tips the bike into a corner. Some form of lateral force from the front tire and gravity from the lean angle are responsible for the bike turning. In modern racing the limit on the speed you can carry through a corner is the force between the tire and the road surface. This is proportional to the size of the contact patch between the tire and the road.

Modern traction control systems have recently surpassed humans in being able to maintain a maximum amount of power to the rear wheel without making it spin out. Previously more lean usually ment a shorter line through a corner but was balanced by the need for accurate throttle control, leading to the rider being tucked in close to the bike with one knee down. With the new systems the aim has become to stand the bike up again as quickly as possible to maximize the contact patch allowing the traction control to put more power through the back wheel and accelerate the bike faster. This has changed the entire style of riding for professional racers, leading them to hang further out from the bike often touching both elbow and knee to the ground, to try and maintain the same center of gravity of the bike and rider but with the bike in a more upright position creating a larger contact patch and allowing the traction control to accelerate harder.

If anything I think Rakuten and Yahoo.co.jp are the outliers. They look more or less the same as they did years ago. I think they stay the same because they don't want to upset longtime users. Maybe like how Craigslist keeps the same old school layout because people are familiar with it.

My argument is that, if all this stuff about Japanese people liking information density were so true, then why do new websites not look like Yahoo.co.jp? Nobody is making web portals anymore. Those sites are relics of the past.

Also, I can find plenty examples of modern webpages besides the two I linked. How about Mericari, who have taken over the second hand goods market from Yahoo Auctions (http://www.mercari.com)? How about Gunosy, a news aggregator who have no doubt stolen tons of traffic from Yahoo (https://gunosy.com)? How about the bank AEON (http://www.aeon.co.jp)? How about the Post Office (http://www.post.japanpost.jp/index.html)? The Yelp of Japan, Tabelog, looks almost exactly like Yelp.com (https://tabelog.com/ - the English version looks less modern, click on 日本語 if you get redirected).

Edit: Consider also that Yahoo.co.jp and Rakuten are an amalgamation of like 100 different services. Yahoo has news, weather, train info, maps, games, forums... If you look at the subsections, they don't have that 90s Web Portal kind of feel: https://games.yahoo.co.jp

Korean websites also suffer from the early adapter phenomenon. Many were build when ActiveX controls were the new hip thing and everybody was on the same version of Windows, and same with flash. Add to that that some websites require logging in with government-issued credentials (which is probably not something that you can easily rip out and replace by a nice form) and you can see that there's a lot of early 2000s cruft floating around... I'd be interested in knowing Japanese websites have similar baggage.

I had to look up the results of my Korean language test the other day. This should be as easy as entering your name + test registration number to get one number of info back (your test score). I had to install so many suspicious browser plugins that I ended up downloading a VM just for this.

I think you are right, the meaning of the sums that appear in syntactic derivatives is quite subtle, and I don’t claim to have an authoritative answer as to their deep meaning.

Semantically, however, I think things are clearer. The denotation of the syntactic derivative of a proof is a limit, and the terms in the limit have an interpretation as probabilistic processes in a (close to) standard sense. So while the sum-over-linear-substitutions doesn’t have a clear probabilistic interpretation (at least that I can see) it is the limit of computational processes where you run the probability of making a substitution to zero.

I don’t know anything about process calculi, unfortunately!

I'd flip this: if a society is so weak that it's damaged by "letting Nazis and jihadists spread their propaganda" (i.e. by letting people speak freely) then that society should fail.

(I do think that if Facebook is employing people to do something that predictably harms those employees then it should bear the cost of protecting them from those harms, and treating and compensate them when it fails to protect them)
The first flight of the Falcon Heavy promises to be a public spectacle, with NASA selling out $195 viewing party tickets.

Not yelling at someone and then leaving, which would be rude.

> The doctor is basing their judgement on current consensus within their field, which hopefully involves careful studies.

Medicine is unfortunately not nearly as scientific as you might wish - I worked for the British Medical Journal a while back and they are all about evidence-based medicine... unfortunately, there is still a lot of medicine that's based off of received knowledge or observational evidence, which may or may not be accurate. The situation is changing though as things get proper studies done, but it's not always easy to get decent results and so current consensus can and does change over time as research gets done.
> The main assumption both make is that there is some physical state.

I'd phrase this as: the main assumption is that reality is literally encoded by some sort of objective hidden variables theory.
I had huge problems with Win 10. Updates wold fail and install again and again without actually getting installed. Sometimes I would get an opaque error number but web searches revealed nothing for that number, and it was rare that I would be able to find even an error number. I don't do Windows, and just installed it for VR, and didn't spend that much time in Windows, so I would spend 15-30 minutes looking a month, before realizing I had spent more debugging time than VR time that week.

After probably 9 months of this, and with Windows doing ever more intrusive pop overs whenever I launched it for updates that don't take, I wiped all boot sectors everywhere and installed from scratch. That seemed to work, but it was incredibly frustrating that the boot process was so buggy as was error reporting. I've never encountered a situation like it in the past 15 years of heavy Linux use. Problems there are usually solvable with a couple web searches, even for extremely obscure kernel bugs with obscure packages. Windows refused to tell me anything as did the web.
Oh it's not a "lime police", NZ has nothing against limes specifically, there is no special treatment.

It's just gardens in general which are illegal (without a license, obviously) https://www.reddit.com/r/newzealand/comments/2nem47/can_you_...

If limes (or anything else, like grass, or strawberries, or potatoes, or mint, ...) happen to grow on your property it's fine and you can collect them, but if you tend to them or there's evidence you planted them it's gardening, and the penalties can be steep.

And police don't look kindly on non-native tasty edibles[0] which "just happen" to grow on the properties of unlicensed owners, as often as not the owner is assumed at fault and fined (though of course the harshest penalties like prison require positive evidence of guilt).

The simplest answer to anything anachronistic can generally be explained by the population's composition. The older the population is, the more resistant to change, and perceived problems by OP is a matter of change. In really popular websites, the population's composition largely reflects your customer's demographics. In newer websites targeting younger demographics, you are allowed to be more "hip" and "trendy". I also think the devices used to look at these websites also played a huge role. Lo-res images and text-heavy simply load faster.
That's pretty cool - it's easy to note notice how cheap a lot of this kind of stuff has become.

Earlier in the year I wanted to have a case made for one of of my electronics projects, and managed to find a free design from thingiverse.com, then pay a local person a small amount of money to get it 3D-printed.

Over time I've gotten more tempted to have a 3D-printer of my own, but I don't think I could quite justify the expense.

Just wanted to say I think it’s alright to be upset with Intel over this. As opposed to this attitude I’ve sometimes seen here of “hey don’t be so harsh on them, this stuff is hard.”

They have handled many aspects of this issue poorly or outright incorrectly, and it is ok to expect better of a firm that profits so handsomely from this industry.

How bad was the defense attorney then?
Why are you attacking him instead of replying to his points?

He's saying that with the battery capacity he can estimate how long it'll run for him because he know what his current phone is like. It's a relative comparison.

If he's told by the manufacturer that it plays X hours of video he can't try and figure out what that means for him, especially if his phone is from a different manufacture. Also two different manufacturers will use different video players making it harder to compare the two.

mAh is a the best we can get. I know that given two phones one with 3000mAh and one with 2000mAh the former will probably have longer battery life under the same OS. If there are different OS's then I need to apply a bit more comparison from knowledge but I still have more information.
It's actually a lot easier to keep up with tech as a leader than developer. Devs are deep in tech and usually only have time to improve on what they know instead of picking up a new framework.

Managers don't have the space to focus on something, but their job is to simply be available to communicate and handle the overhead. They can even justify experimenting with new tech as part of the job.

Good people want to limit the speech of bad people in principle, sure, just as good people would endorse violence if there were a way to ensure it were directed only against bad people. But no-one can fairly judge that, so limiting speech is a bad idea in the same way that permitting violence is a bad idea. The marketplace of ideas works slowly, but it does work: it does, ultimately, find the truth; good ideas succeed while bad ideas die out. Whereas the "marketplace" of violence can't tell whether an idea is good or bad, and while the violent people might be on the side of good for now, there's no reliable way to keep it that way.

That's my understanding too. The useful way to do a persona is:

1. Find a (real!) user of your product, that you believe to be more-or-less an "archetype" of a class of similar users

2. Start writing down his(her) workflows/ how (s)he uses your app/what (s)he's trying to achieve, etc.

AFAIK my company is even preserving the real first name of the "persona". If we're talking about real people, then it makes sense to use their behaviors/needs to guide the design of the product. If we're talking about imaginary people... well, you're just optimizing your product for some imaginary user :)
