Yeah. I completely agree with the part about separating db stuff and logic (it's a huge pet peeve of mine and almost nobody at work does anything like that), but I think mocks do have a place.

I also think it's best to make sure the majority of our code doesn't require mocks to test. But very few people do that either even if it's fairly simple.

I am fairly fresh with my two years of professional experience and I've spent a lot of energy worrying about whether there's something wrong with me that makes me want to refactor most of the code I read. I'm starting to lean towards the conclusion that it's not my fault, it's just that most devs write shitty code.

And I don't think that's javas fault.
In every language, for every word, there will be some history and source. And one can always declare a "different rule" around exceptional cases ... but that's kind of vacuous, and speakers have to remember which words are subject to a minority "rule", so claiming they aren't "exceptions" seems disingenuous.

But if you look at the words in English for which we have "different rules", and you look at which words in other languages which have "different rules" ... they typically line up with frequency. You'll note that the small list of verbs listed above also happen to be irregular verbs in a lot of languages.
Yes, that worked, and I was able to get in with a throwaway email.
> Your AC use is nothing compared to shops and malls running AC outside of work hours. Do not live in discomfort for nothing.

It's important to understand where the biggest offenses are and keep things in perspective, but this shouldn't absolve one of all personal responsibility either.

As individuals, pretty much the only ways we can influence the world for the better are going to be small by definition, and it makes sense to be considerate of which levers we do decide to pull.
I almost got it. I was like “whoa wait, does not fgetc return int? You truncate it to char, can you even compare it to EOF constant now?”. I did not remember the actual EOF constant or that char is unsigned on ARM, but I think I would pay attention to the compiler throwing a warning at me (it does throw a warning, does it not?)
Your general point is a good one but I don't think irregular verbs are the best example of error correcting redundancy, or evolved shortcutting. In most cases they are just a relic of genealogy, and don't serve those purposes:

> Most English irregular verbs are native, derived from verbs that existed in Old English. Nearly all verbs that have been borrowed into the language at a later stage have defaulted to the regular conjugation.

I think what you call bullshit is a core part of the generally accepted definition of an introvert, so I'd want some more extraordinary proof than this in order to be persuaded.

> Ive met many self declared introverts who have no problem socializing for long periods in small groups with people they trust absolutely.

How do you know they had no problem socializing for long periods? Did you ask them, or did they just not complain about it to you? Part of the issue for many introverts is the social expectation is often set by a more extroverted culture, and they just try to fit in. That doesn't mean they prefer chatting with you for four hours rather than, say, two hours.
Richard Feynman on the subject:

"researchers must avoid fooling themselves, be willing to question and doubt their own theories and their own results, and investigate possible flaws in a theory or an experiment. He recommended that researchers adopt an unusually high level of honesty which is rarely encountered in everyday life, and gave examples from advertising, politics, and psychology to illustrate the everyday dishonesty which should be unacceptable in science. Feynman cautioned,[3]

'We've learned from experience that the truth will come out. Other experimenters will repeat your experiment and find out whether you were wrong or right. Nature's phenomena will agree or they'll disagree with your theory. And, although you may gain some temporary fame and excitement, you will not gain a good reputation as a scientist if you haven't tried to be very careful in this kind of work. And it's this type of integrity, this kind of care not to fool yourself, that is missing to a large extent in much of the research in cargo cult science.'"

The frauds and bad scientists will be found out, eventually.

Speaking as the brother to a teen mother, I am saying you're wrong, and the data backs me up. Speaking as a person who was quite poor in his twenties and early thirties, I'm saying you're wrong, and the data backs me up.

Funny, I quit newspaper club because I couldn't tolerate writing articles in that useless newspaper style: irrelevant fact, lede, quote, counterquote, irrelevant speculation end.
Stop trying to "business-fy" research. The demand and drive to make research more efficient and business like hurts the point of academic research. It's similar to how the theory in business itself that the singular goal of public companies is to "increase shareholder value". Academic success can't be linked to just the number of papers produced or cited.

Western cultures needs to go back to embracing plain old hard work and that business, research, etc all require difficult work and reflection at the top levels to function best.
> The team was a group of academics who weren’t necessarily ready to build a business, but instead of letting it go when the market, they’ve made some desperate decisions. The industrial/commercial markets that a lot of people here use microcontroller boards for are well catered by much cheaper boards, and Arduino should’ve stuck to developing their original creative market with better tools.

and do what? That market isn't used to pay for the tools (hell, they made "good enough" one that's free), and their boards are too pricy even for some one-offs

> they are also taught to be ferocious in finding and corroborating information for its "truthiness"

Agree with the rest of what you said, except for this. Unless you said "truthiness" in quotes instead of truth (without quotes) to indicate this is a failing.

Today's so-called journalists are ideology merchants. Their fitness function is guided by such things as their ideological alignment (or indoctrination), that of the organization they work for (what do I have to say to keep my job?) or whatever it takes to get clicks.

Journalism has not been equated with truth-seeking in a long time. From my perspective, I see it as a disgraceful profession. In other words, if someone says "I am a journalist", I will assume they exist to sell lies and ideology, not to uncover the truth at all.

This is the only profession that enjoys constitutional protection (in the US).

What do they do with that protection? Elevate lies and misinformation to a virtue.

Given that our system of education does not produce people who are able to think critically, what you have are masses who believe what is being repeated by these puppet masters. Collectively and through their actions, they are damaging society in ways we have yet to discover.

I am certain this is not at all what the authors of the US constitution had in mind when they offered that protection.

Perhaps that's along the lines of what you meant when you said "truthiness", which sounds like a way to have a chuckle at the idea of them actually seeking truth at all.
I'd be more sympathetic to it if Prusa hadn't been caught entirely flat footed by Bambu and was sitting on a pretty stale product line coasting on their reputation. I am a customer of theirs, and the last few years have been...unimpressive.
This is one of my favourite SciFi books; I like Wyndham's style, it's rather twee, very 1950s rural England, reminds me of the early map of a game of Transport Tycoon game. And not much action, more of a slow burn of ideas. Trouble with Lichen is about longevity treatments, touches on class warfare and women's lib.

Another of his that I really like is The Outward Urge (with Lucas Parkes) on the idea of yearning for space travel as a heritable thing passed down several generations of a family, over an implied world war and shifting of nation powers.

Another good more popular one is The Midwich Cuckoos (filmed as The Village of the Damned); all the women in the village became pregnant overnight, what did it mean and what to do about it? (Spoiler below). "Midwich was not the only - or even the first - village to have a dayout".

That presumes there is a treatment, and the proposal to research it would have been funded, and it would have been found to be effective. But yes, research dollars are somewhat of a fixed pie, and there are always people who don't get a slice.
I've wondered many times how close videogame companies are to accidentally repeating the Pinball Prohibition. There was a period of time when all pinball machines were forbidden, because lawmakers throughout the US couldn't easily enough tell the difference between which ones were gambling and which ones weren't. (That was an extinction level event that bankrupted a bunch of pinball manufacturers and nearly ended several industries.)

On the one hand, a lot of the specific loopholes that games claim come directly out of the results of the Pinball Prohibition and contest laws (can't win cash back, must have winning odds posted but it can be in the fine print, things like that) so it is unlikely to repeat exactly like it happened before. But on the other hand, some of what is going on with current whales is so blatant that some have been famously referred to gambling addiction counseling and we do seem close to that political brink that "somebody must do something" and if it happens as the wrong sort of mob mentality panic, politicians are just as likely to use a sledgehammer to the entire industry than a scalpel to the worst offenders just like the Pinball Prohibition.

(I sometimes worry, too, about the role that Steam's Trading Cards and Inventory items play into their Auctions might impact any sort of "videogames are gambling panic". Those systems' interaction with Steam Wallet is even dangerously close to feeling like "cash back" sometimes, though you can't actually cash it out and it is more of a gift card. [Though gift card-based gambling/embezzling is another potential panic of its own.] It's hard not to imagine politicians preferring a sledgehammer when even the largest, most trusted videogame store on personal computers wasn't immune to adding gambling-like elements and making extra money from whales.)

Hello I work for Hubris Ventures and noticed you had AI in your comment. Are you interested in funding?
> Apple [...] has inarguably the best-performing chips by far in raw performance and power efficiency

This is overstated. There are some benchmarks M2 does amazingly at, partly due to a super wide memory bus shared by the GPU. Power efficiency on performance desktop x86 is much worse than M2, but efficiency is comparable with lower TDP x86 SKUs and server chips.

If you're comparing M1/M2 chips to apple x86, you are looking at obsolete x86. Otherwise, I think it's buying into the hype just a bit much to say x86 is inarguably behind by far.
Because 3D chess is hard.
People actually analysed the WWDC keynote. Apple said "AI" exactly zero times in the whole presentation.

It wasn't an accident. They know what the current so-called "AI" is and have been using it for a loong time. They're not just getting on the hype train of calling everything AI.
OW2 can already run without Battle.net running, but launching it through Battle.net takes care of auth for you. Presumably they will modify the Steam OW2 client to include the Steam lib and handle auth via Steam. I think it's actually reasonable to have hope that Steam can launch into OW2 without B.net.
Good for Theo for writing this up, but it was Elizabeth Bik who got the ball rolling in discovering and investigating the fraud.
This is a much stronger form of encapsulation than public/private. You basically have to do this if you have a generic API that wraps system specific APIs to avoid polluting your code with system specific includes/types/functions/etc.
That's very interesting! Would you be able to give an example without being too specific?

> You seem to not understand the threat threat models. A skimmer is a 3 second attack that requires no accomplice and can be done with slight of hand while people are watching. Making that scale to a multi-person operation with more physical construction, the need to swap out (and hide) a bunch of red plastic going in and out is a win. In much the same way that locking your jewelry in a small safe isn't going to stop determined thieves, but will make casual thieves abandon it.

I'm just repeating what I've read elsewhere, seen elsewhere.

The gas pump skimmers are completely internal. None of that bullshit where their plastic fits over the top of the other snugly. They wire just 4 or 5 leads to the pcb... vcc and gnd, obviously... so the rest of it must be 12c or some other serial/2wire protocol I guess.

Someone was saying "well at least they can't get the cvc", but that got me to wondering with cameras so small and cheap, could you hide one where it could see that on the underside? At least on my cards, it's on the same end as the chip itself, so maybe?

How many cards can they skim, before it's detected, and what's the average value of skimming one card? If you multiply those two together, and the answer is in the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands (or god help us, millions), then it's very much worth it to be a multi-person operation. Especially since such an operation will have more than one card-skimmer going... how many can a small team manage reliably? I guess it's really `a x b x c =` here.

Does Target have free in-store wifi? If so and they pre-configure, they never have to show up on-site again. Fuck, can they get someone hired on for 3 days to do all this, and switch out the skimmer detection tools? Then they just no-show, no-call, and move on to the next.

> If you are as paranoid as you sound, you should be covering your hand putting the PIN in with your other hand.

Have been for the last 20 years. Some woman in a gas station in Virginia once got pissy at me for doing it "it's just you and me in here!"... "Lady, you have a surveillance camera pointed right at me, I can see myself on the monitor behind you".
> Lockdowns were sold to the people as something that would stop the spread. If you can get every infected person to infect less than one other person on average, you can stop the spread of an infectious disease completely. At least in theory.

No, I do not think so. The curve in "flatten the curve" was referred to the daily number of cases, and the impact it's growth had on saturating health care services. Lockdowns hindered the spread so that services could be able to respond to the daily inflow of new cases.

> If everybody stays home you don't have hospitals, you don't have electricity, nobody picks up the garbage, and people will go hungry.

This is a totally disingenuous and completely wrong strawman, and one that springs either from intentional ignorance or outright bad faith.

No, you don't lock people up and expect everyone to stay in house arrest. You are pretending that the whole concept of "essential workers" didn't existed, let alone was a central point of lockdowns. People were arguing if occupation X or Y should or should not be classified as an essential worker explicitly because that meant either the workers should or should not stay at home.

The site: filter is your friend! Google should be smart enough that you don't need to use it but it is what it is.

You can even create your own custom Google search that only returns results for domains that you list. So you could put stack overflow, reddit, and a bunch of reference sites (like mdn) and have super high quality search results.

Being an immigrant myself, I'm usually a pretty vocal advocate of immigration reform and a better treatment of immigrants.

It's the Antarctic, so the ice will grow during the summer months in the Northern hemisphere because it is winter there. It started off at a record low because that's where the dashed red line left it there in the Arctic summer of 2022, and it has departed so far from the previous years that it is now completely disjoint and more than 2 million square kilometers or about 10% of the total scale of the chart behind where it normally would have been. If nothing changes (and why would it?) then it will peak at the 15th of September at 16 million square kilometers setting it up for next year with a start that is even lower. This is unbelievable. As in: I believe it but it defies the imagination, think about the quantity of ice you're talking about and try to imagine the amount of energy required to melt it. And that phase change sink is what effectively is one of the last emergency sinks for all that heat. If and when it goes all that energy will go directly into heating the ocean instead.
While now there are many other good typefaces for programming languages, which are more or less equivalent to JetBrains Mono when restricted to the ASCII character set, JetBrains Mono has much better coverage of various Unicode blocks, e.g. of the mathematical symbols, and this is why I normally prefer it.

I trust your sincerity, but our experiences couldn't be more different.

First, my parents taught me, TYVM. I'm competent, and confident, in social settings. I know what's expected of me and how to do it. It's still exhausting, though.

Honestly, the rest of your comment sounds more like you were always an extrovert but with social anxiety, and you got over it. I've never had social anxiety. Again, I can do all the things you're talking about, and I'm pretty good at them. When I've worked with salespeople in the past, I've been the engineer that they wanted to put in a room with customers, because I can make them laugh and give them warm fuzzy feelings about my employer.

But when I'm done, my emotional batteries are completely empty and I have to recharge by myself or with a small circle of people I know very well and can relax around.
I put a lot of thought into how I would respond to your comment, and I'd just like to say Roll Tide.
