He goes out of his way to avoid being anti-unit testing on here, but the whole thing does come off as looking as if it's anti-unit testing. I suspect there are just as many anti-unit test posts as there are pro-unit tests, and it really bothers me that these are so common. I can only assume that anti-unit test types, like anti-OO types, were burned by a wacky unit test implementation (and there are plenty!) once and blamed it on the concept of unit tests.

In my experience, as long as each non-trivial function can be invoked on its own through a unit test (that is, without actually spinning up a live database or having remote services available), you're "good enough" on unit tests, and you can manually test the edge cases from there.
The government ordered their goods. The presence of graphene wasn't a secret at least to the importer, and at least the box I saw advertised the presence of graphene.

To someone who isn't a leet hacker or SW dev, that is the ball game. Firefox and Mozilla aren't household, but millions of less-technical people know of them. Rather than getting their VPN (if they even know the value proposition) from some podcast advertisement, Mozilla is saying "Hey, this kind of service gives you privacy and we stand behind it".

I use it upon occasion. It's dead simple to purchase, set up on any OS and I trust Mozilla not to send me to a shady backend.

If you already have VPN and they don't offer it in your country, they clearly aren't targeting you.

Maybe it was the era that I learned C++ (which was in the 98 days), but I was taught something closer to this convention, and didn't realize until just now there was such little difference by the book. Just bundling some data together? Use a struct. Doing more? Use a class.

I still think this distinction is useful overall, because there often is more of one in many languages, but I will be more precise when speaking about C++ specifically in the future. I would also still argue the same thing overall, that is, Rust does not have what C++ calls classes. Our structs are apparently even simpler than C++ structs.

You can't justify your own 'bad behaviour' by pointing at someone else's bad behaviour.

That is whataboutism, to distract from - I believe - valid and substantiated criticism.

I agree that so much is wrong with Wall Street, but that is another discussion. That is a separate issue to me.
Government can almost certainly control cryptocurrency, or at least make the lives of those involved with it very difficult.

They could, for example, pass laws that mandate backdoors, which would mean any cryptocurrency developers in the country would be thrown in jail if they didn't comply. They could also ban operating P2P nodes in the cryptocurrency's network. Due to the nature of P2P it isn't possible to hide the fact that you're running a node, unless you also close the entire network off to new users. (Case study: BitTorrent filesharing lawsuits) The government would just have to run their own nodes and connect to other users to collect information on who needs to be arrested.

I don't think people on HackerNews entirely appreciate how much their ability to do cool fun hacker stuff is a function of living in an advanced democracy where there are significant limitations on the power of government upon which the government has agreed to remain, people's innocence is presumed in criminal proceedings, and private actors trying to curtail said freedoms are looked upon with skepticism, if not outright legal condemnation.
We should start more local manufacturing.

That said, I don't see what it would do to the issue. It wasn't hidden that there was graphene in the mask or anything, at least to the importer, that's why they were reported by a citizen that knew the dangers of graphene.
This already exists. Remove them from being connections. It's exactly the same outcome - what do you think these people will think when they see one of your posts and notice you've barred them from commenting?

I would just remove the connection instantly in that scenario.

I recently had lasik and went through a period of a few weeks where I couldn’t read small text on screens. It’s absolutely infuriating that you can’t just increase the text size on most websites. Most websites when you increase the text size it balloons the entire design as well. I had to do so much swiping left and right every line because text doesn’t reflow the way most designers code for the web. Em units should only be used for text, not for other aspects of your design. Let the text reflow within a fixed-size design!
"cattle vs. pets" misses some important nuance though, especially the way it's usually used to emphasize how you need to architect systems in a cloud environment that way because you have no way of fixing some issues.

What it is actually saying is not that it's a good approach to just throw away servers when they start having problems. What's important is having that ability when it is necessary.

Servers don't just randomly fail. If your instance goes down, sure, your automation will recover your system, but it will still be important to know why it failed, because it may be a symptom of a deeper issue.

It can be due to a hardware issue, but even when that happens, you don't throw away good hardware; you fix it and the server can return to full operation. In the cloud, though, you have no idea what the hardware is doing. Maybe the instance failed because the underlying host failed; maybe it didn't. You should still find out.
I have, and I disagree.

Maybe it's because my outlook is generally one of being grateful, so I may have already received the benefits without this exercise.

In any case, I'd be wary of any claims like this unless someone tries it for at least 6 months. I expect initially one will get benefits but after N months it fizzles away.

0 also is untyped, which is why you can write x==0 regardless of whether x is an int32 or an int64...

Since nil does not have a default type, it's an error to write "x := nil".

But not an error to write "x := 0"?

Because you can sell people a token for $$$ (at least theoretically) without even giving up real ownership of the IP.

If you're ever actually licensing IP the rights holder is going to grant as little freedom as possible for the most money possible. No freedom for lots of money is the ideal from that POV.
I think there might be some issue on that hardware where 2.4ghz wifi and bluetooth share an antenna, and can interfere with each other? If you're using 2.4ghz and can use 5, give that a try.
It would be difficult to qualify Bitcoin as pump and dump without inadvertently also including many other assets at this point (which is perhaps a reasonable position to take!). That is to say, the more time passes, the fewer properties it exclusively shares with things we traditionally consider pump-and-dump. Bitcoin has for example now outlasted many startups (12 years and counting). Again, many people do think startups and/or the VC-ecosystem are a convoluted pump-and-dump, fair enough. Some would say that Uber is a massive pump and dump scheme that gives out rides below market value as a side-effect. I suppose you could argue that Bitcoin is similarly a pump-and-dump scheme that allows some people to for example donate to the internet archive as a side-effect. But if Bitcoin is still around 12 years from now, would we feel safe saying it's probably something "else"?
My argument would be it's the only thing on that list of inflation hedges that has a fixed supply.

Lot's of gold is mined each year. Houses are built. Stock is issued, etc. Bitcoin has a well-established upper limit.
>It's easy to steal.

>It only takes one 0-day wipe you out, irreversibly, and completely. My bank could get hacked, but we, as a society, can just decide that I still have the assets I had before, the paper stocks and coupons are in a drawer somewhere. The loan contracts are in a filing cabinet (or they should be). I get my bank statements every month. There's some cash and some gold in a vault. A breach is, at least theoretically, reversible. That's not true with bitcoin.

Isn't this more just an argument that cryptocurrency's are just riskier because unlike tradition financial institutions/investments they are unregulated and lack protections such as insurance etc. Maybe I am just getting caught up in semantics but a 0-day wiping out the value of Bitcoin/Crypto with no vehicle in place to restore that value to its owners if something were to happen just makes it extremely risky/highly speculative investment not necessarily easy to steal
The big problem with the way that "cryptocurrencies" are talked about is that cryptocurrency is, at least in the mainstream vernacular, synonymous with bitcoin. Bitcoin is an outlier in terms of how it works and what it does. Most tokens sit on top of Ethereum and at this point it's probably more accurate to describe cryptocurrencies as being synonymous with ETH, not BTC.

In my opinion regulatory action against PoW is all but inevitable. Ethereum is a platform, so there are powerful incentives to make it work more efficiently and use less power. Those plans are already well under way and, whenever Ethereum 2.0 gets launched, the power consumption of the crypto sector will drop dramatically and the network will be massively more powerful, attracting subsequent adoption. In this case, miners and developers have aligned interests. That's not the case for Bitcoin. Existing miners benefit from PoW, so I don't expect Bitcoin to migrate without some regulatory arm twisting.
It won't affect the original NFT or the ledger w.r.t. who owns it.
The artist could refuse to transfer this if they don't like you, or they don't like who you are selling it to. Or the artist could create a "copy", and sell the exact same thing to two different people and both tell them they own print 03/10. An NFT addresses both of these concerns, and if you are buying these solely for speculation these are both real concerns.

> Rules for thee, but not for me.

There are all kinds of rules that apply to Wall Street that cryptocurrency seeks (and for the most part, has managed) to avoid. I don’t disagree there is an entirely different system of “justice” for wealthy, white collar, Wall Street criminals but to say Wall Street is without regulation while cryptocurrency is somehow beholden to rules is patently and laughably untrue.

Sure, I understand what you mean. To be honest, that sounds like a different issue, one that would arise after additional circumstances took place.

I still stand by my initial comment, that if you had the quick ability to refactor SEVENTEEN at the time this developer committed this, it wouldn't be a very big deal, and this developer could be told that good variable names are important and he wouldn't be stuck as a junior developer forever, lol.

I think it's just fearmongering. Has anyone have definite proof that Huawei routers phone home or have backdoor?

Nobody knows how much gold is in the earth, much less in not-so-distant asteroids.

The supply of gold might, technically, be "fixed" in the sense that no more of it is being created, but more of it could be discovered at any time.

Bitcoin's supply is mathematically demonstrably fixed. Nobody's ever going to discover a new vein of Bitcoin in the earth's crust, or on an asteroid.
I reached out to Ubiquiti because we never got an email to rotate our passwords, and they told me I wouldn’t get an email unless I was using “Ubiquiti verified SSO.”
That is not a middle ground. That is an extreme position.

Using a roughly tested vaccination which does not even stop the spread of the virus (from vaccinated people that is) widespread, sounds not like a good proposition.

Also lethality of COVID-19 turns out to be ~0.23%[0]. And while we know nothing of long-term effects of the new gene therapy vaccination, it already seems more deadly than COVID-19 short-term[1].

Maybe gene therapy vaccinations will be the future (that could be game changing), but this whole disaster really steals credibility.

Storybook 6.2
I completely understand how you feel. I started off programming for only a handful of years before realizing that the most differentiated thing I could do was communicate with multiple groups in language they care about, talk confidently about complex subjects, and find business value in neat technology for my company.

Are you interested in being a PM? You for sure do not need to code to be a PM. It can help, but what you do need to do is communicate a lot and figure out how to make the company money. There is usually not an obvious answer as to what a PM does day to day and I have experienced organizations that have extremely differing ways of using them. I find it engaging and exciting, but I also get to be a human punching bag for when things go wrong. Takes a lot of person management and self management to do. For sure not for the thin skinned or introverted.
What a idiotic essay, the same arguments could be made for the ban of most precious metal mining since majority of it goes to storage deposits.

Cryptocurrencies actually bring several benefits and better solutions for the problem of trust in a store-of-value or exchange contract. The world needs Bitcoin now more than ever, we are already living in a multilateral world where US and China exert pressure to force international contracts to be denominated in USD abs RMB.

That is an awful deal when both countries can print unlimited amounts and distribute to their preferences like happened during this pandemic, specially in the US.

> and the political structure that keeps it in use?

1. False equivalence, since the environmental concern is about the generation of cryptocurrency not its social implications vs a crypto-currency-free world.

2. You've expanded this question so much that it is not possible to answer. The political structure that keeps money is use is basically the political structure of almost all world states, and capitalist/money-based economies. So the cost is about 100% of all energy expenditure. What's the alternative? You would need to imagine an anti-capitalist revolution creating a non-exchange-based economy (so not USSR-style either). I happen to think that's a swell idea, but you realize there is absolutely no way you can estimate how much less energy humanity would use up in such a different reality than today's.

> healthcare of someone who used their health insurance money to speculate on cryptocurrency?

You've got it backwards. You are making health insurance profit-driven, when it should be a government service. So then there would be no "individual's health insurance money" to quibble about.

> Once the government is responsible for the well-being of its citizens, it has weird effects like banning cryptocurrency

Wow, that's one helluva strawperson argument. Governments have always been responsible for the well-being of its citizens.

This idea of blaming hypothetical "stupid people" is trotted out by libertarians who want to punish the poor for dumb behavior, but give the rich a pass for equally-or-more dumb behavior that has a 1,000x more negative impact on society, simply because rich=smart=superior in their minds.
I think some of this has Python to blame. It’s very difficult to write idiomatically maintainable code in dynamic, scripting languages.

Now also consider that data wrangling is almost always highly coupled to one or more input formats, lots of index-via-literals, string manipulation, type conversions, field copying etc... I think I’d have trouble writing what others would consider Clean code in such a setting - and I’ve programmed for 40 years.

Granted it's a small sample set, but this rings _very_ true with respect to many people I "know" (acquaintances I'm connected to on various social media platforms) who've jumped onto the "crypto" bandwagon in recent times.

Define "cheating".

Is it cheating or just being savvy if a farmer wires his new building to the 1999 NEC instead of the 2021 NEC since a copy of the 1999 one is $20 on eBay and omits some grounding requirements that are onerous for outbuildings.

Is it cheating or just following the spirit of the rule if a middle manager avoids a problem be skipping the process-required approval for a time sensitive change to something when it's exactly the kind of thing the higher up would approve in a heartbeat?

Cheating vs non-cheating isn't a binary thing. People have degrees to which they're willing to fudge stuff.
that makes no sense. is it "illegal business" if you dont pay taxes and if a cheater does pay 100% taxes on the gains, does that make it "legal"? i am sure taxes should have nothing to do with the intent with which the income is earned.
I'm actually reading that book. I'm going back to university to study CS and I have a course about Java which is exactly the language he uses in the first part of the book. I think this would be a good exercise for learning the language as well as learning lexing/parsing.

I was blocked by the BNF expression in section 6.1. Not exactly sure what I didn't understand, but overall I felt like I could only copy what he says but not grasp the underlying rules. Maybe I need some primer on BNF first.
The answer is not yes, and there is clear evidence that cryptocurrencies are cancelled and created democratically.

https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/03/23/legitimacy.html (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26560626) talks about the Steem/Hive split, and explains how the community democratically overrode the network owner's undemocratic decisions.
The argument is that Bitcoin not only has a provable total fixed supply & rate of future supply and that it has more utility than gold because it's easier to transfer and harder to fake.
This distinction (and naming) is really not strict today, especially when total corp headcount exceeds a few thousands. One project may be pure software consultancy, another may be a a complex solution, yet another can be a hardware project inside the big corp (so if it was a separate entity it would be called a product company or startup). People can be outsourced or outstaffed or anything in between.

Basically in a case of 10k outsourcing corp it is pointless to think about it as a single entity, it's a collection of projects each managed differently, with different expertise and different share of in-house development, from original products to dumb legacy support.
Exactly. I don't have the book in front of me, but I remember its typechecking section being hilariously short and imperative focused. Also in general the book doesn't focus on implementation at all. That's okay in some respects; it's probably stayed more relevant and useful due to not talking about implementation. But it makes it possible to read a bunch of the book and still have no clue how to write code to build a compiler.
Can you imagine the positive spin on the patch notes when pre-2030 tokens get deprecated? It's certainly going to be due to technical debt on horse armour or something like that.
