Let's keep in mind this Fowler post has no science in it. It's just some "lauded practitioners'" view of TDD. Our industry is driven by this kind of discourse. There's very little good scientific research to answer questions like these in software in general. How much is any good on TDD? One paper? Two?
>I wish people were more afraid of death. Maybe we'd be doing more about it.

The line has to be drawn somewhere, otherwise logically speaking we ought to force everyone into permanent suspended animation on life support machines. But clearly that would be a very bad thing to do.

For anyone interested in reading on density, neighborhoods, and what sorts of things work well in cities, I can't recommend The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs enough[0]. She wrote the book in the 60s and it has really stood the test of time.

Edit: I'd add that the book does a good job about explaining the sorts of motivations there were behind un-densifying cities (or keeping density from rising) in the first place.

Fair enough. I was thinking about the typical single-use zoning in the US, where single-family home zone is different from row-house zone. I agree that we'd be better off with urban zones not making a distinction. However, I'll gladly take small changes in that direction (allowing duplexes and ADUs) over no progress at all.
According to the article, court documents list victims and crimes occurring in New York and New Jersey. Supposedly this group misled distributors there into giving them copies of movies which had not been released.

Why any stores at all? Just allow software to be installed like a PC. There are millions of PCs running just fine without a "store". No one is making any extra money, but that's OK, because they shouldn't be.
"Defund the police" doesn't mean "tax break for citizens". It means reallocating those funds, which emphasizes training.

There's very little oversight of how the police spend their money, which leads to instances like Snoqualmie purchasing a mine-resistant armored vehicle instead of investing in training.

I’m not suggesting that — I thought you were speaking metaphorically. If a court mandates that Apple allow sideloaded apps or third-party app stores, it will obviously take the same form as accessibility requirements, not specific APIs or UI designs.
> Eh, artists have bills to pay

Indeed, and we should support those who create the works we enjoy, but consider that the model of buying individual works from a publisher is rooted in the obsolete requirement to create a physical good upon which the work is distributed.

Given that we now live in an age where the cost of distribution is effectively $0, perhaps we need to find a new model for compensating creative works.

Personally, I'm a big fan of things like Patreon, which let me support people who's work I enjoy more-or-less directly and allows creators to keep their creations free for all to enjoy.
My point is that it doesn't seem like you've bothered to put yourself in the shoes of the people that this will affect. You're effectively saying "it's what I do, so it'll be fine for them".

The change in housing size that you're talking about encompasses a 40 year period, your slavery example, much longer. Culture can change, but it doesn't happen suddenly, by fiat, it happens on generational timescales.
> "The current UI feels like it is designed to make things possible, yet difficult enough that people won’t figure it out."

I find it unfortunate they seem to think this was some sort of accidental or unplanned outcome.
Interesting, thanks. I suppose I am terrified that others I love might die in my lifetime, but my own end of existence elicits only sadness/empathy.
Some of us would, but even if not, why would it be the same price? More housing should lower the cost for both, and paying for 4 bedrooms + 1 kitchen should always cost less than 4 bedrooms + 4 kitchens.

Personally, I'd like a private bathroom, but prefer the shared kitchen, dining room, and living room.
The houses at my local historical center were much bigger. Sears sold many different sizes of house in the early 1900s and some were pretty large even by today's standards.

I have noticed that as houses approach 2000 Sq feet that luxury goes up faster than space, almost as if there is an asomtomic limit in that area. That is people buying smaller than 2000 seem to be looking for more space for the money, while those looking bigger are willing to spend more for the space to make it nice.
Again, BSD/MIT is the same as GPL in that aspect. It’s not a problem for the open source projects themselves, as there’s no point in suing them. It can be a problem for high profile downstream users.

Population growth creates the tax base, density, and demand required for a successful public transportation system. Demanding that the public transport comes first is simply backwards.
Haussler was my undergrad advisor (along with Harry). I remember I tried to get a job working for Harry, and when he turned me down his postdoc said "Hey, David Haussler over in CS is starting up a computational biology group, you should go talk to them". That was one of the most valuable pieces of long-term career advice I could ever get.

Personally I now actively advise people to avoid becoming (academic) scientists unless they are willing to dedicate an unreasonable amount of their life to it (more or less agreeing with Harry). It's really unfortunate but there just aren't enough jobs out there and too many of the folks who do manage to get positions aren't particularly honest or ethical.

Ferguson is a suburb of St Louis. Kenosha is a suburb of either Milwaukee or Chicago, depending on who you ask. McKinney is a suburb of Dallas. Most of the footage from "Minneapolis" was actually from suburbs of Minneapolis. Current political advertising is heavily focused on using current footage from protests and warning that our suburbs are next if the other candidate is elected.

Police violence isn't only a suburban problem, but it is definitely also a suburban problem.
Apple absolutely does abuse their power as a monopoly. I'm not sure how that's related to asking users for permission to share data with third parties, which is what this was about.
I wonder if journalists are no longer getting the same on-the-job training they got with print magazines?

They don't, but the roots run deeper than that.

College journalism departments used to stand on their own, or be part of a Communications department. Now, a lot of them are part of marketing departments because that's where the donor money is.

For example, one of the "Big J" journalism schools used to be Medill at Northwestern University. A decade or so ago it changed to become the "Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications."

I used to mentor interns from that school. The first few years after the switch we started getting students who didn't know the first thing about journalism. They were being taught how to edit videos for YouTube, not how to find out how a congressman voted on a particular topic. We had students about to graduate who didn't know important recent historical figures. Couldn't tell you what party any president belonged to earlier the current one, and his predecessor.

It goes along with a long-running theme on HN: That universities are no longer about education. They're only in it for the big money now.
Facebook are not in control of this, so their consultations and conversations will all be for naught.

Sorry, but Mars colonization is nonsense. It isn't going to happen in the foreseeable future and the people that believe this stuff are no less stupid than the ones following the next messiah. I wrote about it here:

Just to put this into perspective a bit: every little bit of civilization in Iceland, every nail, every staple, every fruit, every tool has to be flown in or brought in by boat. Everything. And Iceland is a place that compared to Mars is paradise. The only things they have plenty of are energy, fish and sheep. And on Mars you wouldn't even have that.

It's just too silly to take serious.

Musk and Hughes have a lot in common. They are both genius, wealthy, capable and at times a bit batty. I'm fine with Elon being a bit batty, if that give us electric cars, reusable rockets and more. But I'm not buying into the cult. Starlink is borderline for me. I can see the utility. But the idea that space can be commercialized with such total disregard for what effectively is our largest commons is simply wrong to me.

What arguments can be made to support adding of unnecessary decorations?

Because without them, the world would be a totally unremarkable place. :) I think there is a lot of value to the images of SpaceX astronauts in their sleek suits, and the general flair with which they go about things. It inspires and excites people, it sparks joy.

I get what you're saying though and I also appreciate the functional minimalist design of places like HN and Craigslist (I much preferred the original purely text GameFAQs forums vs. alternatives at the time that had a lot of crazy stuff going on). I'm not saying at all that form should step on function in serious UIs but I do think both are important and aesthetics should not be dismissed or lamented.

I did it first, so admire me for pushing the boundaries of ascii art. Also, you'll never be able to truly reproduce this type of ascii art unless you spend 4 years at art school studying stylometry to be able to identify my unique technique. You can imitate it, but there are subtleties only connoisseurs will recognize.

On one hand, yes, antifascists like myself intentionally voted for our new DA because we expected him to be not just tough on crime, but also tough on cops. On the other hand, though, the other candidate for DA was explicitly pro-policing and there's just not an appetite for more police in Portland right now.

The current mayor, Wheeler, is trying to walk a middle path. He might not survive re-election, as there are multiple candidates to his left who have indicated that they are more willing to tell the police to go home.

I find it telling that you cherry-pick which street fights reflect poorly on Portland. We have culturally been less and less accepting of street fascists over the past few years. And not all of us are violent, either; I've had heated but peaceful discussions with them up until last year, when the violence became an inevitable part of their platform.

Once the travel ban is lifted and the USA is safe to travel to, feel free to actually come and see for yourself what popular antifascism looks like.
Not all rationale solutions are effective or ethical. Something being rationale does not make it appropriate.

Your solution is basically, hide the dirt under a rug. Yes, this is a rationale solution, and I do that sometimes when I have visit over, I just throw all the crap in my bedroom out of sight. But I have not cleaned the clutter, I have just moved it where my guests cannot see it.

So one must ask themselves, why are the crimes being commited in the first place? And how can we address that.

Because as someone well off, you can afford to escape trouble but only for so long. Once the clutter gets out of hand, there will be nowhere to hide it.
Yeah, the same. We have a SAAS product in Colombia and considering if is better to incorporate abroad, but wish to be in better than USA (mostly because the litigious nature of USA system).

IMO, databases is often an integral part of the program and should be part of the test (a real database in a docker image).

For instance, if you are not relying on unique constraint in the DB to implement idempotency you are probably doing something wrong, and if you are not testing idempotent behaviour you are probably doing something wrong.

"Lobbying" just means presenting your position on an issue. Money can help with making a persuasive presentation, to a point, but lobbying per se is never the cause of the problem. You can blame that on the people with way too much power who listen to the lobbyists and do as they ask—instead of actually doing their jobs and representing the interests of all their constituents.

With a mercury account is possible to setup stripe from abroad? Not in a country listed for stripe?
Why, yes; we could bring back a societal safety net and raise the minimum wage, so that it's actually possible for one income to pay rent, utilities, and still have some money left over for saving against a disaster and having some fun. We could take things like "healthcare" or "education" out of the hands of profit-seeking entities and run them with the philosophy that "a healthy population" is a much better profit than "a bigger number in a bank account".

We could even take the money we put into an increasingly militarized, dangerous, and expensive police force and put it into the things that reduce crime by making it a lot harder for someone to fall to the point where the consequences of crime are less than the consequences of being absolutely broke.

We could raise taxes on the tiny fraction of people and corporations who hold the vast majority of the money in the West, and especially the US, and send it back out into the system at the bottom with a basic income scheme, with the actual numbers on these tightly coupled with an assortment of cost-of-living indicators. If companies want to leave places that start taxing them, let them - they'll have to leave all their physical equipment behind, and we can institute a system of grants to help workers form a union and start using that stuff to fulfill people's needs for whatever they were making, with the profits being shared among the workers.

"But that sounds like socialism! Or even communism!", some will protest. Why, yes, yes it does. The people and corporations who want to accumulate huge amounts of money and power have been telling us that everything that sounds nice is "socialism" for my entire lifetime, and to be quite honest I have been at the point where they are making "socialism" sound pretty good compared to the capitalist hellscape they've turned the world into.

There are, of course, many ways this can go wrong. Utopia's not easy. But the present system sure isn't working either.
The EPA doesn't even do the range testing themselves. Manufacturers do the test based on EPA specifications and report the results.

And FWIW, BEV's rarely get the "EPA-estimated" results except in ideal conditions. 55 mph, windows up, warm day (cold temperatures = denser air = more wind resistance), climate controls off.

My Model 3 Performance is rated for 299 miles. Based on a 150 mile trip in 35F weather at 75 mph with the heater running I took last year, my "real world" range is as low as 240 miles.
You agree with the parent.

When you were young, you wouldn't have bought it even if you didn't pirate it. However, since you pirated it, you felt happy (or even morally obliged) to purchase from same creators, later, when you had the means.

Ie. in that case, the piracy increased exposure and indirectly increased sales.

A lot of the elements of 'the future' used are a lot older (and weirdly persistent!) - the notions that a 'computer' or some piece of gear outputs text slowly, makes noises while doing so and prints in a special font were themselves once real artifacts of what was then seen as futuristic technology.
IMHO, this type of transformation is best done via traditional symbolic methods that also provide explanations with support, alternate outputs based on context/constraints, etc. It's ok for a symbolic transformation system to have the help of connectionist black-boxes that act as oracles, but the entire system should not be a black box.

It's pretty easy to get those numbers if your business code isn't intertwined with your UI/database/MVC code, or if your core code can be tested in a pure manner (like the "core" of an image editing software, or parsers, or serializers/protocols, etc).

Of course, if all you have is a basic CRUD app, then there's not much testable "core" code that you can separate from your framework, so TDD and unit tests are probably not the best idea. IMO end-to-end and integration tests are the way to go anyway.
