On the best scenario, your fakes just replace some standard components your have on production with other standard components, and keep everything else equal. On those cases, no they don't need tests. But when you are doing something weirder, they pretty much do.

On the best scenario, your mocks are just data that doesn't have timing characteristics, don't react to the system being tested, and are short enough to not need any kind of compression (in loops or gzip). On those cases, they don't need tests. But if you are doing anything weirder, they pretty much do.

I honestly don't see any sense in separating them in categories like if they had discreete non-overlapping mono-dimensional properties.

Anyway, why do you claim any of that is specific to OOP?

Create a shield wall – engineering and product as a united front
My son (HS age) is naturally an early riser and rarely sleeps past 8am, even on weekends. I have noticed a marked improvement in his mood and reduction in his tendency to fall asleep within 5 minutes of riding in a car since quarantine began and he can get up when he prefers rather than having to leave the house by 7am every morning.

Between 5 AP courses and after school activities that kept him there until 9pm a few times a week, he was burning himself out last year. We'll be doing remote school until at least February and it's been great (for him).

Clementine [1] is pretty cool. It does everything I need:

- cross-fading between songs

- a real queue that is separate from the playlist so you can program what plays next and in which order easily (CTRL+D to add / remove, and a advanced window can show the queue)

- a remote control with an Android app

- stop after this song

- a giant search / filter bar. It does not has to have the focus to start searching, just type when Clementine is the active window

- MPRIS integration (obviously)

- several playlists open at the same time

- the mood bar

It also has:

- tag editing

- integration with many online services

- a library handling that does not get in the way but full-featured anyway

- support for removable media

It's awesome. It could use some pretty some improvement for its look, but it is pretty decent and does the job.

It's a fork and a continuation of Amarok 1.4.

This reminds me of a similar idea I came to a few years back. I noticed that 10-13 episode/year shows tended to be better than average, while 22-26 episode/year tended to be worse on average and have large numbers of garbage episodes. The second group is how traditional US shows were done in the days of classic TV, to be shown twice in a 52 week year.

It came to me a few years back after watching the remastered Star Trek TNG, later an early season of Game of Thrones. Even though TNG was given plenty of time to hit its stride and had some incredible episodes, another half were just crap. Meanwhile early GOT season would have ten decent episodes in a row. The difference in average quality was striking.

Of course, GOT had the benefit of being mostly written beforehand, similar to Babylon 5, one of the first series to break episodic containment.

TL;DR: TV show law - A dozen or so episodes per season is the limit of a writing team. Produce any more than that and they are guaranteed to be phoned-in filler.

Another thing to consider - as Amazon has further shifted inventory burden to 3rd party sellers, there is less Amazon owned inventory to discount.

Yeah, but that's still not editorial control. And maybe we do actually want Twitter to pick some winners. I don't think the platform needs any more death threats, Russian-backed misinformation campaigns or other bullshit.
I'm not sure what could have been done to make a new FTP that was better than SFTP. FTP had a couple of edge cases that were very nifty (like connect to server 1; connect to server 2; tell server 2 to listen; tell server 1 to send to server 2's port; voila, transfer from server1 to server 2 without ever transferring the data to your own host!) but I don't know that anyone ever actually used them.

SFTP came along as basically a working, feature-complete replacement. Once it became production-ready, I don't think there was anywhere for FTP to go.

Your life is worse because the government is openly antagonist towards the populace it was created to serve. Even if it doesn't effect you now all you need to do is look at historical examples from other nations going down the same path. There's a reason the poem "First they came
..." exists and it's a direct counter point to the argument you're making.

Otherwise I don't know what you want here, historically the masses mostly don't do anything until they start starving. Most large acts of rebellion were put together by a small band of agitators often high ranking members of the establishment who for whatever reason decide they've had enough then publicize and promote it and then often pay the common folk to fight. The US for instance was majority founded by a bunch of rich people who were tired of the type of taxes levied on them. The continental army for instance was paid to fight. My point being is any action is going to be taken by people who care about the abstract notions, the rank and file will be paid to care or provided some equal material value.
This assumes a perfect random distribution though.

What if amino acids and proteins are in fact likely to arise naturally and in favorable circumstances?

There was an article recently (~1-2 months) on HN about a supercomputer/AI discovering new chemical pathways for part of this process, but I can't seem to find it anymore. I think it was about forming amino acids.

I'm no expert on this subject (the opposite really, I've slept through chemistry), but my experience with large-scale simulations has been that a surprising number of them converge to the same final result given the same starting parameters even if most processes within them are perfectly random. The bigger the simulation, the more likely they are to give you stable results. And the universe is pretty damn huge.

So I like to believe the creation of the foundations of life is in fact more-or-less inevitable in our universe, in turn increasing the chance of useful proteins etc. forming.
It could be easily argued while they are not rewriting the story they selectively choose the facts they present as "fact checked" information. In the recent past both FB and Twitter have linked to "fact checked" articles/sources that represented only the narrative they wanted you to read. If they wanted to show neutral behavior they could have linked to articles that represented both sides of an argument which would keep their independence and educate their audience better since rarely is one side 100% correct.
I'm actually very happy they did because every time I upgraded, the headphones and the adapter would end up in a box. I have enough adapters to build a fort, which is kind of cool, but also kind of useless.

In all seriousness, this is rather interesting. Fungus can cause chronic nasal irritation. Nasal nitric oxide (a naturally-generated fungicide) increases 15- to 20-fold by humming compared with quiet exhalation. It's a small dataset, but an interesting hypothesis/finding.

I was hoping it'd be more applicable to my situation (exercise-induced rhinitis).
An hour a day is a lot. However, as someone who suffers from allergies and is not able to control symptoms with allergy medications alone, I am willing to give it a try (although this method is intended to treat irritation from fungus). Incidentally, this reminds me of something very similar for treating COPD called the "Lung Flute". It also works by using low frequency vibrations to clear the airways in the lungs.

This is true and super annoying that they're doing it this way. However, it's not just iPad Pros that have compatible chargers. Anyone with a MacBook from the last several years (four?) can charge either via the computer or the wall plug (if they want to charge faster). Some people also have inductive chargers that they use, though this is probably a minority.

I won't be getting one of these phones, and I think the VZW/AT&T giveaway is garbage. But I don't mind not having another power brick for my next phone. I already have plenty of lightning cables sitting around and ways to plug them in.

Subscribers Leaving? Fight the Churn
Lulu is ancient, and has been outcompeted by Amazon and other platforms. Wattpad has something like 65 million readers.

> If the current companies are screwing up so badly, who are the innovators that will go around those mistakes and out-compete them?

I mentioned this upthread, but in a nutshell: Amazon turned the book industry on its head by offering 70% royalties directly to indie authors, cutting out middlemen (i.e. traditional publishers and literary agencies). That happened in late 2009, and it unleashed a gold rush which is still in full swing. Traditional publishers still exist, and they still dominate the print industry (due to the huge expenses involved in print runs and print retail shelf space), but they have lost a lot of control over ebooks and audiobooks.

70% is more than artists get from art galleries, and it's more than musicians get from record labels. It's unheard of in the arts. And it was a very savvy move by Jeff Bezos. It changed the dynamics of that whole industry.

If Google/YouTube or some other major distributor of film (such as Netflix, or some new start-up) offers a large platform of viewers, plus that royalty rate for an incentive, then we are guaranteed to see a film Renaissance.

I hope it happens.

I think that socioeconomic forces being what they are, it is unlikely to happen any time soon. These days, awesome startups are likely to be bought by mega-conglomerates, and any visionary ideas they have will die beneath the weight of committee thinking.

Unless the cost of a powerbrick went up by $50-60, there are savings that Apple is not passing onto the consumer.

>One thing that always surprises me about gymnastics is how inherently sexist it is. For nearly all sports, the male version of the sport is identical to the female version. Maybe women don't lift as much, don't run quite as fast, or do shorter distances (like in speed skating), but the basics of the sport are the same.

The rule differences between ice hockey for men and women are such that I've heard it said that they might as well be different sports.
One of the interesting conversations about a new technology is figuring out the 'ladder' of applications for the tech as more or larger versions become available in a particular price class.

Portable MRIs are one application, once you can make a big enough chunk of the stuff, but earlier than that, couldn't you use small pieces of superconductor in communications equipment? Power supplies, ranging from IC power regulators up to mains power transformers?
I feel like the value prop would be better if they looked good. I feel like for the purpose of signalling status with ear-accessories Airpods Pro are gonna do a better job these days.

Maybe I just have bad taste but I wouldn't wear these, I hope there's leeway in the design to make something more attractive.
I do not buy for a second that environmental concerns were Apple's primary reason for removing the power brick and the lightning headphones from the box, though I think the decision makes sense. The lighting headphones are more of a pain than they are worth and most consumers have enough five watt power bricks floating around if they really need one. From a PR and messaging stand point environmentalism was really the most elegant explanation without diving into market research on consumer behavior and component costs.

The Verizon 5G presentation and the opaque pricing are real head-scratchers.

Why include Verizon at all? They are in last place in the US on 5G deployment and 5G is going to be largely meaningless for most consumers. So to have Verizon out there and then act like 5G is a huge deal says to me that they felt like they did not have enough to talk about with their new phones. It is faster, the cameras are better, they redesigned it, but it is kind of a mashup of the old design and new design, nothing revolutionary. They went hard on 5G because it is all they really have new to talk about. Verizon was needed filler and likely signed some kind of co-marketing deal to be on stage. I would expect a lot of iPhone-centric Verizon commercials over the next year.

And as far as the subsidy, I think it is fine to have carriers subsidize phone costs for their consumers, but $30 is peanuts on a $700+ phone and not worth any confusion or ill will generated by those who thought they were getting an unlocked phone for $699 as advertised.
I've run into these so often. I'll be searching for a solution to a problem and I notice a "tutorial" but it on the site of a product that's name implies it is related to "fixing" the problem. And yep, as soon as I start reading the tutorial I can see they are going to say to use their product and explain how to use it. It gets rather annoying seeing these when I know there are free solutions.
This is terrifying. And it might be where they got inspiration for the Black Mirror episode ‚White Christmas‘.
Just as a note, your sample Japanese seems odd to me. I'm way out of the loop on anything modern, but it is weird to see written Japanese with non-Japanese punctuation throughout.

There is no one part, the excessive costs can only be analyzed as a symptom of the system as a whole. One fellow online dubbed this "Coasian hell" and has a good writeup explaining where it comes from: http://www.harrowell.org.uk/blog/2018/01/31/in-the-eternal-i...
The point is, on my website at least, none of the transition or prefetching was being used by most visitors. About 85% of people hit one page, stayed for a few minutes, and then left. In that case all that JS is just a waste of downloaded data. That's why I moved my site to static HTML and CSS. Slightly annoyingly ever since I did that the number of users who only read one page has dropped to about 75%, but I still see it as a benefit.
This is the key fact. It demonstrates that they're not interested in passing along cost savings, even where they clearly exist. This isn't just about new phones, it affects the SE as well.
A bunch of badly designed DSLs already exist, we just call them APIs or maybe fluent APIs instead of DSLs though they are pretty much identical.

Pandas, Tensorflow, numpy, etc. are all such complex APIs that they are indistinguishable from DSLs. That they happen to cooperate to a greater or lesser degree with one another and the rest of Python doesn't change that fact. Most Racket DSLs that aren't teaching languages allow for using almost all of the Racket features in addition to some new ones and today it is generally more popular in the community to create mini-languages which are basically just a set of macros and functions that work on within Racket.

Macros actually make the DSL situation better because it heavily discourages the nonsense YAML/JSON DSLs that everyone despises. Instead of thinking of the complexity macros will introduce, think of how many YAML DSLs will be killed instead!

I had a different take. It didn't feel tacked on to me, but rather that season 1 was like a benign initiation phase, a dip-a-toe-in-the-crazy kinda deal. By season 2, they felt confident that the audience was now ready for the real deal and they upped the ante. Unfortunately not everyone followed. From what I understood, it was a 5 part story planned over 5 seasons.
