> Aren't a huge part of tests to prevent regression?

Just a quibble: I would argue that a huge benefit of tests is preventing regression, but that's a very small part of the value of tests.

The main value I get out of tests is informing the design of the software under test.

* Tests are your straight-edge as you try to draw a line.

* They're your checklist to make sure you've implemented all the functionality you want.

* They're your double-entry bookkeeping to surface trivial mistakes.

But I think I mostly agree with your point. I delete tests that should no longer pass (because some business logic or implementation details are intentionally changing). I will also delete tests that I made along the way when they're duplicating part of a better test. If a test was extremely expensive to run, I suppose I might delete it. But in that case I would look for a way to cover the same logic in tests of smaller units.
There's a strong financial incentive for the market to engage in fraudulent activities against investors. And the smaller the investor, the greater then incentive.

Public companies have regulations that help prevent such fraud by requiring things such as audits by third party accounting firms, and regulating how these audits may be performed. Such regulations came about specifically as the result of fraud committed by the owners and directors of companies.

Private markets don't have these regulations because the assumption is that past financial success is indicative of financial sophistication. It doesn't prevent fraud, but at least it helps reduce the likelihood of success.

If you start making private markets open to everyone, then there's no reason to differentiate between public and private markets anymore. Companies will go back to all being "private" because there are fewer regulations, then there will be another Enron, and a subsequent shift towards regulation to prevent another such scandal.
shhh, you'll wake up Andy Warhol from his grave lol.
We've lived in both sorts of situations in the recent past. Extra rooms give you flexibility and the opportunity for privacy, which is really nice with young children who aren't sleeping well yet, and might disturb their siblings if they were bunked. There are trade-offs involved in both situations, which one is better for you just depends on what you value.

I generally think that there's too much of a slant toward large houses in the new housing stock in the US, though - they're more expensive to buy and maintain, and generally not the best choice for young people.
That is exactly what Epic was doing. They were allowing people to make purchases at a 20% discount through a web app of digital content that could appear in iPhone App. And Apple took their app down.

It's not the pricing that Apple opposed, its that you could buy it through another method. How can you have the pricing changes you propose if Apple forbids selling interactive content for their platform through any other channel?

The point is that Apple has too much power over the device, in the way that Microsoft has at times had too much power over the desktop. If Apple was forced to let other people offer app stores on Apple devices, everything they do in the app store would be fine. I don't have a problem with Steam or Microsoft App store, because they can co-exist with other app stores. If Apple is the only one you trust, you can only use that one. That is what makes sense to me.
The sounds are very Starcraftian
Thanks. So Chrome on Windows had MSVC PGO from 53-63, but lost PGO from 64-84.
I would rather pay for software with money than with privacy. Which is the precise option Apple is offering by allowing users to opt out of sending private data to Facebook and other advertisers. If you like giving your private data to advertisers, by all means, opt in.
The experience with VSCode, VS for Mac and Rider are also quite good, as far as I can tell.

Also you can use .NET Core.

Note that VS for Mac is no longer Xamarin Studio rebranded, nowadays it shares several common code with VS, which is one of the reasons why the plugins have moved away from COM to being .NET based.
> Get ready, as a user, to pay for these apps which were once free.

No, Search Ads is keywords targeting, not "we build a whole profile of you and then use that". It has its own issues, but they're not the ones you have with Facebook's solution.
How about a knowledge/skills test instead of a wealth test? Something like the bar exam, but for investing instead of law. That would keep out people who have no idea what they're doing, without unfairly keeping out knowledgeable middle-class citizens.
Could be because I'm old and it's what I started with, but I can't see how BASIC isn't a great beginner language -- especially with regard to going from "0 to working code."

This is great until the API response changes and you have to painstakingly update all your string fixtures to match.
That's true, but considering how widespread the software is, it's likely that they only need a tiny percentage of the overall user-base to pay to remain a sustainable business.

They could at any point have changed the software to prevent it from functioning after the trial has expired - they're not going to be so naive to think people will all pay just because of a prompt that can be easily dismissed.
We live in an 1140sqft house, just 2 of us. With just 1 (small) bathroom it is less than ideal, particularly when we have guests, but it works -- just. It is basically a box of a house with 3 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a place to eat. There is no "extra" space aside from the rooms -- no wide hallways, no sitting areas, no extra horizontal surfaces to put junk.

Of course, we have more space than we "need" -- 2 additional bedrooms. But, again, they're just large enough for what they do. 1 has a guest bed (and not any room for anything else, really) and the other is an "office" which is handy during covid-19 for sure.

If we had kids, there would be room for them to sleep, but no playroom, for example. Our laundry is in the garage, as is our "workout room". That space is not counted in the official size of the house, because the garage is converted.

I highly doubt that facebook ads could become “less relevant”. I mostly get ads from Wish for weird contraptions that I can’t even tell what they’re for, and some very specific heavy machinery for thousands of dollars that i also have no idea what it’s for. Pneumatic drills? Miniature combine harvesters? Lately it’s been supplemented with ads for romantic Indian movies and wedding dresses. And I’m a married Scandinavian male.
Just as there are lots of people that insist on conflating all protests with riots and cheer when the police gas the former only to act surprised when that leads to the latter.
"Content costs money to make so companies need money to make it" is a true statement.

"Companies therefore must run advertisements to make content because a significant portion of the target audience does not want to pay for it" does not follow from that.

There are many industries that typically do not run advertisements for their content - book publishing comes to mind here - and they seem to get by just fine.

90% of everything is crap, so 90% of entertainment disappearing because production houses and producers stop whoring themselves out to Madison Ave and big brands is a net positive for society. Make the 10% of things you can get funded by the target audience without having to mentally and emotionally manipulate them (which is what advertising is) and you'll still have too much content for the average person to consume.

Advertising is immoral, and advertising to children is both immoral and explicitly evil.

That would be enough range for me if it weren't for the temperature sensitivity of current batteries. I live in the northern US and pre-COVID I regularly drove trips ~300 miles to visit family. 500 miles range would work great for most of the year, but at least in my current vehicle, battery capacity drops quickly in the cold. This is the main reason why I drive a PHEV and haven't gone fully electric. (That and the fact that my family lives in rural Ontario where public charging infrastructure is very limited.)
'Murica!

Although US is not a great place when you don't have enough income or assets, it would be just as foreign to us that you wouldn't be considered sophisticated from income/assets!

"What do you mean an actual class system with a 1,000 year family history, crazy talk!"

But back to investment choice, we don't agree that "sophisticated" can only be from wealth. We want choice, the option to take risks.
awesome news!
Fully agree. Neither preaching nor ad financed well-being articles are particularly interesting if we are talking about news.

We still have the problem of overzealous banning of content/language/bad opinions. To suggest feel-good articles as a solution sounds a little bit too dystopian.

I strongly agree.

My ideal for user interfaces would be something where the user can skin everything to look like they want it. For example, imagine the web browser version of winamp... a page has text, images, links, and that's it- the browser displays it according to your skin.
I see nothing wrong with returning to older models of advertising: you buy simple ads (like pictures or text on web sites, or audio during podcasts), with zero scripting attached, and no video. And you track them in obvious ways (e.g. special codes at checkout, or you simply ask “how did you find out about us?”), which still gives a clue which ads were effective.

The entitlement of these ad companies to their obscene revenues and invasive methods is insane. Facebook’s “disruption” is hardly a problem I care about. Maybe the Internet will finally be usable again if we have a little more disruption.

I assume you mean 300 miles is enough "if there is sufficient charging infrastructure." If so, I think that I would agree that would be sufficient for most. Having to stop for a non-trivial amount of time to charge is one of the main disadvantages right now of EVs vs ICE.
I'm pretty skeptical of this experimental approach scaling up:

> The scientists found that a 500-joule-per-gram laser blast was required to break apart a model space rock 0.3 inches to 0.4 inches in diameter (8 to 10 millimeters), if that blast were directed at a premade cavity in the "asteroid." Without the cavity, the necessary energy was about 650 joules per gram.

I think you're right, though take-off noise was also the subject of many complaints about the Concorde, not just the sonic boom. Reducing take-off noise was already one of the design considerations of the Concorde, and supposedly the Concorde was better in this regard than the Russian Concordeski (Tu-144.)
An MBA is not a licensure. There are overlaps between what an MBA and an accountant may have studied, but the CPA is what gives you a license. Lots of MBA students do not pursue financial courses beyond what is requires to pass. They may have interests in marketing, innovation, or other areas. They can be ill-equipped to deal with investments.

The same pattern exists for law and many other professions. There are plenty of people with law degrees who fail, or decide to not pursue the bar exam.
Exactly, as a user I'm not going to be happy if I have to resort to using an unscrupulous third party App Store with fewer privacy restrictions in order to get the app I need.

There's also the possibility of mobile equivalents to the Adobe CC installer/manager that act as their own "App Store" and aren't subject to any rules at all, which is even worse. After seeing what the likes of Adobe does on desktop PCs, I do not want to see what they do when granted effectively unfettered access to my phone.
What you’re describing is the dream scenario, creepy ad tech being replaced by things like micro transactions and new innovations along those lines. Maybe this can make it happen? I for one would gladly pay the minuscule amounts of money facebook makes from me seeing their annoying ads.

Amazing! That's a huge seed round...
Your sarcastic comment implies there is no pirate whose imprisonment would add value to society.

Some groups pirate for profit. Is that still ok in your view?

Some groups use the profits to fund terrorist and drug activity. Is that ok?

Some use it along with human smuggling, racketeering, loan-sharking, prostitution, contract killing, and more (see [1]). Are these ok?

So is it possible there exists a pirate whose jail sentence may make the world a better place?

( I know the pop hacker belief is this doesn't happen, but I've yet to meet a hacker that has reviewed the peer reviewed literature on it, so don't retort without checking empirical evidence. I'll post but one paper below).

The reason various mob like groups turn to piracy is that pirated products have value and have very often have high profit margins, so piracy becomes a very profitable business. A group willing to do this illegally is often willing to do other high-profit risky and illegal activity.

Not really? We have electricity at the streets. We want additional plugs on the streets, and maybe a credit card reader on those plugs (even that's not a given, really; cars themselves can transmit their payment information these days, or costs could be rolled into existing city taxes/parking fees). This isn't rocket science, this is infrastructure America has been building since the early 1900s.

> Eh, artists have bills to pay.

So? That doesn't change anything. The needs of creators cannot override our need for computing freedom. Enabling creators to pay their bills by charging money for data will have serious consequences for society in the long term. If they have bills to pay, they can find something else to do. Ideally, they should get paid for the act of creating rather than the final result.

"Piracy" is actually the superior service. It's how everything should work. The copyright industry simply cannot compete and will never be able to compete. The only way they can win is by making the competition illegal.

Over the last 90 years we have repeatedly learned very difficult lessons about the individual and societal costs of unregulated securities markets and made changes to mitigate those risks. And this same tired argument comes along, repeatedly, to justify rolling those regulations back so that a handful of people have a chance at striking it rich while we as a group learn those same difficult and expensive lessons all over again.

Our securities markets work. They are predictable, mostly fair, and most importantly, they are trusted. Are all of the rules perfect? No. Do some of the rules and regulations have compliance costs that outweigh their benefit? Of course. There is plenty of room for improvement and we should absolutely identify the areas in need of modernization but you’re advocating we tear the whole house down when you haven’t made an effort to understand why it was built this way in the first place.
This is a total red herring.

I don't know why the numbers are consistently different for the different programs, but the compiler is completely optimizing out the function call in both cases.

I fully agree with this assessment. With many of these agencies when they are created there is a "published objective" but with time invariably those agencies end up being using for entirely different purpose. DHS is a great example. An agency created to avoid 9/11 like scenarios seems to be busy scaring little girls and destitute refugees and asylum seekers.

Keep in mind that Americans on average have been raised in different environs, and likely different habits from the people you lived with. If you've always lived in close proximity, you've developed ways to cope, which people who've lived in copious space haven't. As an example, people who grew up in the country often find cities to be claustrophobic, impersonal, and uncomfortable. So you can't really say "it works for people in X culture, so it'll be fine for people in Y culture."
Sure: replace all wealth tests with competence tests.

Then, no competent poor person would be legally locked out of an investment opportunity, by state enforcement power, that would be legally-encouraged for any incompetent wealthy heir.

Requiring that someone has to be able to deliver the funds, sure.

Perhaps, that they have to prove competence via some testing certification.

Perhaps, that they have to match some scaled risk threshold, when relying on systemic benefits: we only give you tax-advantaged retirement accounts, or full unemployment coverage, if you don't put more than X% of your net worth in 'risky'/non-public securities.

Those would at least be objectively-linked to a person's abilities, or the magnitude of risks they're projecting on the community.

But wealth tests in state regulation codify a class system: "You can't buy this, even if you have cash-in-hand, even if you're an expert, even if the spillover risks are infinitesimal, unless you're already rich." Such discrimination against the poor should be just as illegal as that based on race, gender, national origin, sexual preference, religion, etc.
I don't mean to imply that this invalidates your reasoning, but I thought it would be interesting to point out that Underwriters Laboratories was a private organization funded by insurance companies and did, and still does, a great job making electrical systems safer.

It could also be due to the way the company incentivizes developers. Say a new system or tool needs to be shipped this quarter. They could incentivize that being delivered by offering bonuses to the team if they ship it on time. But if the bug is a minor issue, or will only happen 6 months after ship date (performance issue, leap year issue, etc), developers may elect to ship it as "broken" to meet their deadline. Then another "maintenance team" will be responsible for fixing the bug 6-12 months later when it surfaces in production.

Plus, if no one ever gets fired for shipping buggy code, why bother working so hard on bug-free code? It's a tradeoff.
