I also think that the sheer volume of new series Netflix premiers can't draw from the best or most experienced talent pool. To me, the Netflix model is hire a 2nd/3rd writer or associate producer from a famous/well-respected TV series or film, give them their own show, and see if it sticks.
> the high level requirement that buying 10 of something should be cheaper than 9 is just specified system behaviour and that is exactly what you should be testing for.

But that is an implementation detail. Only the BulkPurchaseDiscountStrategy knows whether it's 9 or 10 that's the trigger. Maybe it varies based on time of day or for certain customers.

> I would refer to these tests as "integration tests" although the language is poor here.

Agreed, it's a discussion I'm having at my job now, I havn't found particularly great wording. "Functional" testing still doesn't quite work right.

> Integration tests do not replace unit tests, they should just be taking a lot of the load.

Agreed on the first part. Integration tests are valuable, but I think they're more fragile.

Writing them is, IMO/IME, slower and more difficult.

As for the linked tweet, it's the "mostly integration" part that I disagree with.

Humans are evolving an extra artery in the arm – BBC Science Focus Magazine
I don't think he really sells the point to me. You can use any tool incorrectly. An application with poor composition conmbined with mocks without verifications leads you down the path he describes. What we should do is only use "mocks to create fakes", which if you read the manuals on Mockito, is what they're pushing you towards anyway.

So in conclusion I would say that a lot of people use mocking frameworks incorrectly and the author is hitting home on that.
My friend and I were recently discussing how both our middle school kids seem much happier since the lockdown. We speculated it is stressful to be constantly trying to appear cool and normal in the school environment several hours a day, especially for introverted kids who have no break to be alone and recharge.
Spotify has followed the same model as many other companies, like Netflix

They are open with data, have good API's etc until they get market dominance then they stop supporting many of those same things.

They have dropped their support for Linux Clients, they closed most of their API's, and various other things

It is a repeating pattern with companies that are disrupting a market
On my last phone, it's precisely the part that wore out first. A local guy replaced it for about $50 and I got another year of life out of the phone before I dropped it and broke the screen. (Note, this was an iPhone 6 that I replaced about a year ago)
Yes, at least in some cases. We have the anecdote in this thread, and here is one from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/HomePod/comments/equuum/comment/fju...

Going by what you feel the news cycle should have done may not be reliable for a less popular product like HomePod.
We have something similar. They use these for some of the leadership 'culture' sessions - but the emphasis is more around the differences in people and how one style of communication is more effective with one group and backfire with others. I was super skeptical initially, but there were some interesting insights that came out of it.
this could be true, but it doesn't really make sense to me. a bad ending could certainly sour a movie for me, but a long running TV show could have a hundred hours of quality content that goes out with a fizzle. doesn't make it not worth watching.

I'm not sure I would recommend your examples to a friend though. GOT started going downhill around season 5; it wasn't just the ending that was bad. I'm sure people would disagree with me here, but I think lost hasn't aged very well. it was a good show only by the mediocre standards of '00s TV.
Google didn't offer Unlimited either. It's limited to 1Tb but they never enforced it.
It’s about time invested to find something you’ll like. If I watch a new movie every night, I have to go do the work to find a movie to watch. If I watch short films for 90 mins, I have to do that 5-6x/night. If I watch a series, I find a new one once a month.

My understanding is that the current Netflix contract generally includes a clause preventing other streaming services from picking it up, leaving to only allowing network TV to buy rights. That's how One Day at a Time got saved, PopTV which is owned by CBS, so technically network, managed to buy the rights. However they aren't allowed to add it to CBS All Access like they do other Pop shows. Doesn't help that the Netflix demographic, _especially_ for shows with large fandoms, don't generally use network TV.

>Money people never, ever know their place. They don't understand that culture is more important than they are, and it shows.

They know their place. They look at spreadsheets all day long, and they see that some money losing piece of culture is preventing the business from creating non-money losing piece of culture ... or making payroll.

>It started with the chain bookstores. Used to be, getting in was the hard part, but once a writer got published, he stayed published.

It was great for the writer that got published, but not so great for countless others who couldn't get a break and couldn't get into the vaunted 'club' of gatekeeping published writers.

>Then there are the literary agents, who don't even read 99 percent of the work sent to them

Because there are magnitudes more writers, than writers who can generate an income, and always will be. This is the long-tail that everyone was predicating at the advent of the web. Democratization of culture and media means that it will be much harder for most (except for the tiny few) from making any sort of living from it. You see this on Instagram, YouTube, Twitch streaming, and podcasts because the barrier of entry is so low, it means there are hundreds of thousands of people trying all the time (and those that fail at making an income, are replaced by fresh young faces willing to try). But it's also true of more traditional media, like publishing.

>I'm not surprised this is happening to Netflix

Neither am I. Every single series that Netflix invests means they have to pass on countless others. There is no other way to run this business. The funny thing is that early on with Netflix, when they did not have a lot of content, they would keep renewing unpopular series forever. As they ramped up production, they followed the same trajectory as traditional network channels like NBC/ABC/FOX.
Agree. Think about The Shield, Sons of Anarchy, Peaky Blinders which had brilliant early seasons, but then had a formulaic season arc. Here are the new bad guys -- worse than the old bad guys, even though we told you last season's bad guys were the worst, we got re-upped for a season and now we have Armenians, neo-Nazi's or American Mafiosi. Whatever it takes to squeeze out a few more episodes.
Thanks for the help. I just want to point out this [detector orientation] is likely a big area where non-physics people might get tripped up:

If you told me causally this detector which measures electrons/photons/whatever and varies by the cosine of the orientation, I don't think any (non-physics person) would bat an eye; it seems like a pretty normal thing a sensor might do.
The interim goal is objective confidence, not Dunning-Kruger confidence. That’s how you go faster.

There’s always someone who’s willing to plow ahead, safeties off, and ignore the warning signs they see and the complaints of their peers. Denial is a hell of a drug (“That bug can’t be in my code, la la la can’t hear you look how fast I’m going!”).

Some people need a little back pressure.
@op03 great read about consolidation,

I'm actually a big fan of Netflix exactly as you articulated you don't like it—if I have an empty head, I sit down and click through to find something to watch. Not currently subscribed, though, and I wish it came at a slightly lower price point as I don't watch the vast majority of netflix content.
Well, duh. You have to ask someone to use the bathroom. A typical office is stocked with snacks and drinks. You can step away for a walk. We treat kids in school way worse than adults in the white collar working world (we basically treat them like blue collar workers).
There's nothing wrong about a malware scan on download (Chrome does this automatically too), but this scan should be smarter about detecting actual malware (it's called SmartScreen after all).

I hate IE as much as the next guy, but PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS! s/IE/Firefox/g to see why.

Polyfills are available for most of the usual things and they're absolutely trivial to implement. No one is asking you for IE6 support (if they are, ignore them), but IE11 can do most things decently with minimal effort. As long as a browser is receiving mainstream support and the effort isn't too much, you should be at least minimally supporting it.

Apple made an Apple Music app for the watch with support for offline playback. Spotify did not.

I can't speak for others, but for me there is no need to make up my mind:

1) Installing software directly from the developer --along with being able to develop yourself-- is not only perfectly fine, it's what makes personal computing great.

2) Package management is an over-engineered and inflexible solution that creates more problems than it solves.

3) Installers aren't as bad as package managers but are still overly complex and cause problems. Applications should be single files or directories that can be moved or copied anywhere you want. Numerous OSs had applications work this way by convention and it is also how AppImage works.

4) Application-level security should be applied by default and at the OS level. Mobile OSs got this (mostly) right.
Agreed. IMO the first few seasons of The Office (US) and Parks & Recreation were the best, and they went downhill over time. Very few shows can sustain quality over time. For sitcoms... maybe Seinfeld?

This is a fascinating way of thinking about writing.
It's a little surprising to me that you'd expect better customer support from a service with >248 million[1] monthly active users.

Having worked for/with departments like this, they have to heavily optimise for their response rate, and use as many macros to respond as possible, which's probably your case as I'd assume that many customers contacted them with the same question.

By all means, always speak with your wallet, but if you genuinely expect huge corporations to answer each request with a custom response, you will probably be disappointed often.

Google Chrome has a malware scan for downloads that actually seems to work, unlike Microsoft's SmartScreen which seems to be completely broken. Integrated malware protection is a good thing, but it needs to work to be useful (e.g. not automatically flag properly code-signed non-malware as malware). If users see the SmartScreen popup for regular software too often, they are just trained to automatically find and click the "Run anyway" button.
Yeah, better for Apple. As an apple user, I do NOT want sign-in by Apple as the only option available in an app - I would like the choice to decide who to trust with my data or how to share it. Apple having a stranglehold on its users data is not good for us consumers nor for the developers of these app, and both the developers and consumers should boycott such attempt at lock-in.

It's time that Apple developers form a union to dictate reasonable terms with the behemoth.

I wouldn't, but realistically all supermarkets sell so many products that you are bound to find something you object to, if only in the book or newspaper stand.
There are studies on PubMed. Most are looking specifically at the medical professions, but there should be some generalized stuff in there too if you search a bit.
I agree that a fake implementation would probably be overkill for such situations, but I would also suggest that anything requiring mocks sounds like overkill too.

If a mock object returning specific results from particular functions is enough to satisfy some code's requirements, then I would seriously consider whether that code could take those results as normal function arguments (possibly lazy/thunked).

No. The Spotify app on the Apple Watch is a remote control for managing other devices and cannot stream songs independently. It’s insanely frustrating.
You shouldn't be surprised that support people are essentially human firewalls, and getting any sort of policy decision or assistance, especially technical, beyond their knowledge base is impossible. Even Apple support is at least an hour of talking with someone who'll read the knowledge base back to you before being escalated into "I did my homework now look at my syslog" territory.

https://every-layout.dev is a game-changer.

Yes. I suspect a large part of why so many shows fail according to Netflix is that people have already been bitten once or more by cancelled shows and they'll now wait for a few seasons to see if the show is rolling before watching. It's a downward spiral and either it keeps on until Netflix's demise, or they break out of it by committing on their shows.
No. This is a question that comes up in the UK in the context of unaccompanied irregular migrants. If they're under 18, local authorities have certain responsibilities towards them, over 18 not.

They do age exams, looking at various physical features, but it's fairly error prone and not that precise.
If things like Star Trek were canceled season three, it'd never have reached such masses, it was a niche show at start but now there's even actual new generations watching The Next Generation. Long term decisions are hard, but if you take no risks, it's guaranteed nothing will pay off. Accidentally killing a next cult series or movie would be a huge misfortune.
You may find mental health counseling useful. A therapist can help you discover the aspects of your office life that are in conflict with your core values, and the aspects that are mere annoyances. This isn’t a suggestion that you are depressed. It’s a suggestion that what you’re experiencing isn’t normal or healthy, it’s not something the rest of us endure. Counseling might help you develop a plan for fixing it.
That's a great thought terminating cliche, but they've still managed to cross several other filters, like just getting into medical school and then grinding out across several years, internships, attending, etc.

>I'm wondering why having Netflix at all.

For Netflix shows. Netflix is now a network channel producing its own content, in the mold of HBO. If you don't find value in HBO, then you don't subscribe to HBO. Same with Netflix.

Licensing content from turned out to be a terrible business model because a) licensing fees would bleed you dry of all your profits, b) content owners would yank their content anyway to compete with you because it turns out, creating a streaming infrastructure isn't that hard and much cheaper than owning and producing content.
For the longest time the lockdown was pretty much screwing over young people for the benefit of old people.

Now I am not in the US, but I do wonder if so much would have been shutdown if it had been young people who died, like it was in 1920.
Are you not extremely limited then?
Spotify for Apple Watch is still basically a remote for Spotify on iOS, presumably due to some contracts between Spotify and Samsung.

So although Spotify could technically implement a standalone Apple Watch App since at least WatchOS 6 (released over a year ago now), they haven’t, which means you always need to carry your Phone with you. Their support Forum is full of complaints about this, with no proper reaction or explanation from their side.

The Apple TV app also does not work properly, requiring to re-login often and can‘t be controlled properly by iPhone.
This sort of nonsense is why I switched to a self-hosted Emby media server.
