I think the problem with TDD is it assumes you know what shape your functions and classes and data structures will take before you start coding. This is rarely the case, and if it were easy then CASE tools would have won over the world in the 90s. They didn't and people still code in typeless scripting languages.

I think it's this glossing over the inherent and deep complexity of software development that turns a lot of people off TDD.

What's wrong with getting the software right, often through a process of trial and error, and then writing the tests to lock in what you have working?

> yet other countries kill more whales (not just per capita but in absolute numbers)

A country, not countries - only Norway kills (slightly) more whales than Japan.

Since the ban in 1985. Japan killed far more whales than any other country (twice the 2nd placed Norway), and as of 2012. (last available report by IWC) it was the 2nd by annual number of whales killed (less than 10% after Norway which currently is the biggest whale killer).

Lars Bak: The Making of a Secure and Robust IoT Development Platform
We only need to sequester about 140 ppm of CO2 this time. It would still take tens of thousands of years at the natural rate, but we could probably increase the growth rate a hundredfold by carefully selecting high-sequestration cultivars, pumping them full of nutrients, and harvesting them at just the right interval to maintain optimal production. At least it sounds much more promising than the CO2-capturing contraptions I've seen on HN over the years.
An interesting thing to explore would be its potential as a biofuel: connect carbon exhausts from factories (cement, etc) to pools/tubes containing Azolla, maybe with solar concentrators to give it even more sunlight.

Pipeline enough of these to generate a continuous (hydro-)carbon output, that can be transported elsewhere, or burnt on-site for electricity generation (and the results backfed to the pools).

The idea here would be to effectively create a giant organic solar panel, with its output in the form of (hydro?-)carbons. Ideally burnt on-site (thus they would act as a battery storage), but it could also be exported.

If we're not going to end our reliance on hydrocarbons today, it better be non-fossils ones, since the only reason CO2 levels climb is that we burn fuel that was sequestrated until recently. Earnings from fuel/electricity sales could be reinvested to fund this at a bigger scale. It wouldn't surprise me if everything could be ran as a completely closed loop, at least for electricity generation.

Of course, the idea isn't new, as a cursory search reveals [1]. I wonder if it could be further enhanced using GMOs such as [2].

It is understandable to be willing to do anything for ones family. I also think it is equally understandable if society put people in jail who do cross the line.

If you had ended up being charged for spamming, hacking into bot catchers, breaking data protection laws (like GDPR if you live in EU), would you accept that as a acceptable consequence and still have done it to get money for the family? Or would you think that is unfair?

This crossroad is for me the line where social support networks should exist. If people find crime to be the only solution in a situation and the legal repercussions to be a fair trade then it is cheaper and more humane to fix the original situation. Your wife's country of birth should support her while she is unable to work because of the pregnancy, and the child should be supported similarly as long they are a child.
Awesome, thanks for the link, however my mind was more "this sounds to good to be true, I bet they are studying something else" :)

Walls? Covered in billboards, in a tacky Red Queen race that nobody actually wins.

Public space? Nobody talks to each other in part because people who appear friendly are often trying to sell you something.

I'm getting sick an tired of all these OOP bashing articles.

X is terrible, Y is super! Fact is that everything has benefits and drawbacks, and so does OOP, Functional programming or whatever.

The strength about OOP is that it's practically the best to program most software. If you look for example at the SDL library written in C, it uses an OOP interface with handles to keep things nice and simple. Yeah that's right, OOP in C, why would anyone do that? Because it has benefits, that's why.

So why is most software nowadays written in OOP? Because it has the most benefits. You can sure find examples where functional programming would be better, but they are a minority.

So yeah, next time I would expect an article to properly make a comparison between benefits and drawbacks of both things that are compared. Not the usual "all drawbacks of X, but look at all benefits of Y". This kind of thing screams "Junior alert" to me.

Meantime, I'm developing my apps and games and applications in OOP, and absolutely loving it. Wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world.

How to create a N-N WebRTC conference room?

I appreciate any & all correction—I’m still learning myself.

I say toxic relative to the Benzimidazole family of medication, and though Paclitaxel’s worst side effects, like the neuropathy you mention, come cumulatively with chronic use, it’s more common side effects are still numerous, including a few serious ones, from sources I find.

And “promotes cancer recurrence” was a poor choice of term on my part. What I mean here is the time between doses is wide enough to permit recurrence in some cases.

Yes, just over the border. I live really close to the German border and you instantly notice, everything suddenly looks, well.. German.

A lot of things don't cross-pollinate because they are decided on a national level. So things like the style of signage, traffic lights and other 'street furniture' are all different. Germany also still uses a lot of above-ground cabling which is another instantly obvious difference. Building codes are probably different too, which affects how buildings look.

It's not just the country, it's the people too. Living in a city near the German border we get a lot of people from Germany shopping on weekends. Often you can spot the Germans simply by how they are dressed, especially older people. I can't really put my finger on what is different (as an IT guy I'm kind of oblivious to fashion) but there must be some subtle differences as even I subconsciously pick it up.

> Plus aren't there streets where one half is Dutch, the other half Belgian?

It's even easier to spot when you're crossed the border into Belgium, if you suddenly feel like you're driving off-road you're in Belgium.

Plastic products still contain most of the carbon that was originally in the oil, so I don't think it will be a problem for the climate even if we keep extracting oil and making plastic out of it. It will be just like making steel out of iron ore. We only need to stop burning that shit.

Notion feels like the opposite of the Unix tenet, "do one thing and do it well".

Also the emojis are very offputting. Maybe it works well if the user wants to organize a trip with friends but I want to use it as a research tool.

It's shameful.

No it isn't. There's nothing about the content of the comments on anything on the internet that automatically means one comment warrants more attention than any other. The reason why we have voting systems is so the community can push things to the top. That's tempered by the fact Reddit moves fast so people who comment later are much less likely to get to the top of a thread, but really it just shows that people who vote in r/space value puns a lot. That's the community you're a part of.

It's like the opposite of HN. Every time I post a joke here it's like setting fire to some karma.

It depends what you mean by surrender of Iran. Iran is the one with an explicitly stated foreign policy goal of annihilating another state. They are also persistently taking active steps intended to achieve it. That inevitably creates conflict, and in armed conflicts nobody ends up looking good.

But first demand would drop, making a lot of extraction less profitable than it is now. Wouldn't a lot of the oil suppliers go out of business (forever) before we could "rescue" them by buying even more plastic crap we don't need? Also, even if we started building our houses out of plastic or something, I can't imagine that covering as much use of oil as we are currently burning.

Skepticism is very warranted here. And as I mention in your sibling comment, “promotes cancer recurrence” was a poor choice of term. “Permits,” due to the time between doses, would have been more accurate.

There are a lot of fly-by-night stories like this for a variety of reasons, be it ongoing research, funding seeking, or otherwise. I do believe the Benzimidazole class of medication mentioned is worth taking a deeper look at however—it seems to be a common thread over many of these.

Sometimes the reason something hasn’t seen use is more than the question of whether it’s clinically viable or not.

Although it uses different words (as noted in an other comment, the title here is based on the line the author used on Twitter), but the conclusion is the same sentiment worded differently:

> Memory unsafe languages are not going to get better, or safe. It is time to move on.

and this is based on an entire article making the case that fuzzing is what reveals the vulnerabilities, and thus both shows and makes memory-unsafe languages untenable: fuzzing by white hats reveals how full of holes these programs are, but fuzzing by black hats shows them what has exploit potential in a much more significant and systematic manner than manual exploit research.

I've come to accept that in complex systems you can't separate the signal from the noise. Signal emerges from the chaos, but chaos is a precondition to the emergence of signal. So when reading social media you just have to train your brain to quickly scan it all, discount the chaos, and search out the signal.
FP helps to avoid the mutable part of “shared mutable state” or at least reduces it to the minimum.

Another pattern is linear or affine type system like in Rust. They helps to avoid the shared part while keeping things mutable with ownership tracking.
