After identifying a gap in the availability of a single, exhaustive reference for software testing terms, I took it upon myself to bridge this gap. I've put together what I consider to be the most in-depth glossary on this topic, with help from both ChatGPT and my own insights. I present this to the HackerNews community, inviting you all to contribute and further enrich it.

https://ray.run/glossary

To ensure the resource remains dynamic and ever-evolving, there's a "Was this helpful?" form embedded for your feedback. Our collective expertise can transform this glossary into the ultimate, go-to guide. Whether you peruse all the terms or just a few, your perspective might spot areas of improvement or enhancement.

Upcoming features:

* Wikipedia links for each term.

* Inclusion of synonyms.

* Categorization tags for terms (like automated testing vs. manual testing).

* Definitions via hover-over on https://ray.run/blog articles mentioning these terms.

Looking forward to your feedback and insights. Let's make this a collaborative effort!
This wouldn't work because not every renter wants to be an owner and have 20+ years mortgage that ties him down to a particular place after he has put all his cash into the deposit.

The problem is with the supply. Fix the supply and the market will balance itself.

During the longest stretch of time that I rented a house, I was one of between four and two young men, most of us broke. The owners of the house were a married couple who lived about a mile away. Were the state to have expropriated them, we could not have paid anything like fair compensation.

I don't say that we represented the most common case, but I do think that such rentals reduce friction in the housing market. Towns with decent economies will have such transients who need a roof but aren't ready to commit to staying.

It takes alot to be memorably weird, no unhinged political takes, conspiracy theories, don't start crying, don't talk about your near death experiences.

Anyway what does it matter? Those all happened to me, I suspect they're living their lives indifferent of my opinion.
I have the same issue as GP, and the Charisma Myth book has sat, unread, in my bookshelf for a year. I also bought the audiobook with my Audible trial, still unlistened. Self help books have a tendency to feel hollow and unsatisfying by the time you reach the end, but I really wish I could stop overthinking the process of striking a chat with a complete stranger. I am quite pleasant and I believe witty once the conversation gets going, but by God, I couldn't start a conversation to save my life.

I'll try to read that book, hopefully I'm not let down by the hope there is a social magic trick I have never been privy to.

I have high confidence that the health impacts of eating plastic are at worst minimal. Tupperware was invented in 1947.
There are several extraordinary things about this episode, but the main one is clearly India have the west by the proverbials. If things escalated to the point the west wanted to detach from India in the same way as it seems to with China it is not at all obvious that they could. All those offshored services would suddenly do what? Has this turned out to be the mother of all security blind spots?

Given that if this turns out to be true, and Modi etc. get away with it, I expect they will become quite emboldened about doing this more generally.
Maybe, but there are millions of people who have wealthy fathers. Why aren't they all successful billionaires? Money is not the precursor to success. Drive, focus and vision are much more important than money. If people see that then money comes easy.

My policy:

No financial apps on the phone.

Only other apps are from big companies with a reputation for strong security practices. That means no sports and weather apps, no restaurant or game apps, no Samsung or Tmobile apps, no TikTok.

Banking and brokerage are all in the browser, on a Chromebook, with no third-party extensions installed. This means no adblock and no other browsing on that user profile.

Most banks and brokerages don't offer FIDO 2FA, they all just want to do SMS. Their hardware tokens are a pain, but they work.
Taking the survey myself definitely showed me my own HTML skills are rusty as a consequence of building JavaScript apps for the last decade.

The truth is that building web apps is a large and complex enough field that it's quite hard for a single person to master all of it, and I think we should normalize the fact that any single developer will have their areas of strength and weakness.
I promise I would already have a NG generator if I had gas to the property. I have a high pressure pipeline easement across my place now but there is no way to tie in or buy a drop to supply anything here. It is a gathering system and not distribution I guess. Propane is doable but we decided to focus on solar for those things that aren't easily tied to the existing grid power and this portable generator for its high utility value out here. Good luck to you!
There are two kinds of jealousy, the motivating kind and the demotivating kind. For example, most folks here are probably somewhat jealous of how rich Linus Torvald is, but this kind of jealousy motivates one to perfect one's craft and pursue ambitious projects. The story posted here tends to generate the kind of jealousy that demotivates. I think that's where the negativity comes from.
Very few of YC's companies have done anything to "advance the state of tech," especially the successful ones. According to their website the top three by revenue are Airbnb, Instacart, and Doordash.
Based on the fact that your ideal is to have a similar experience to heroku than managing your own server setting up reverse proxies take a look at these options:

1) https://dokku.com - lets you turn your light sail instance basically into heroku

2) https://render.com

3) https://fly.io

4) If you have aws credits this is their heroku equivalent: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk

above is not what I do but would be the options I would pursue if I understand your preference and requirement correctly.
I also disagree with the quote, because it doesn't take into account that the average testosterone levels are falling about 1% a year: https://www.medichecks.com/blogs/testosterone/why-do-gen-z-a...

There's a lot of effects that this would have on society but I think one of them would be that more partner-less men that are "satisfied", by that I mean not willing to do things that "decay your country" from the inside like violence and rape due to sexual frustration (which is what I believe the author is implying). The increasing prevalence of porn probably also contributes. Further evidence is that violent and property crime have plummeted over the last few decades: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/11/20/facts-abo...

"Decay" of the country might come in other forms though. Lower testosterone also increases risk of depression, which is well known to be on the rise.

I very much agree. I would consider myself to be more asocial than average, though certainly not aggressively so. The types of sentiments expressed in this article are usually written by very social people who see conversation as some inherent good. I think you are in the minority of such social butterflies in terms of checking that assumption.

For an example, take this quote:

> But that is not the whole story. In mid-life and beyond people can still experience the joy of a random meeting, however short, which somehow touches a nerve.

What exactly is the joy? Is that joy not something I can obtain more easily via the “traditional” social channels I’ve cultivated over the course of my life thus far? And won’t a social interaction in one of those channels have a much greater chance of lasting positive impact given that person is more likely to be someone I interact with regularly, enabling me to build off that initial interaction over time?

Moreover, what’s the downside of the encounter? I suspect a lot of asocial people like myself strongly dislike the much more common awkwardness and self-doubt that accompany a social interaction that goes poorly. Is enduring a lot of that really worth the few instances where you feel a fleeting sense of connection?

Putting effort into that social interaction also means I will have less energy to put into other pursuits that mean more to me: my marriage, playing piano, reading, career goals, riding my bike, existing friendships, etc.

I don’t disagree with the article necessarily, but I do think it’s mostly an “ode to random social encounters” more than a serious attempt to make a case for why people not predisposed to doing so should try to have more random social encounters.

The questions you ask in your last two sentences really get at the interesting stuff. But of course they are too nuanced and complex to answer in any comprehensive, generalized way within an easily digestible length.
1898-02 or 1998-02 would be the years someone attended high school or college. The context of when it was written, either in 1905 or 2023 can be important.

Indeed.

But the concept of an invisible spirit, which leaves your body upon death, (or is created by an omnipotent being upon death), is the commonality.

Spirits are spirits, be they called souls, vapours, spirits, or what not. And everyone believed in life after death, in the spiritual form.

SF's emergency siren system is being upgraded, not retired, though the project is delayed and over budget:

<https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/bayarea/heatherknight/article...>
I won't be providing outbound HTTP (or inbound) requests via MOO code. The only I/O is what is provided through the Session interface which is, yes, transactional; all I/O "effects" are buffered and committed or reverted after the same at the DB level. Inbound HTTP is provided at the Rust layer in front of a standardized RPC interface over 0MQ and goes through the same set of transactional semantics as all other commands:

The transaction gets committed at the end of command execution, and then all the I/O that "occurred" in the narrative log gets output to its destinations. If a serialization conflict occurred, the output buffers (and all other mutations) are discarded, and everything retried, again. (In theory. Right now it just rolls back and barfs, because I have not finished this layer yet :-) )

Where this falls over is with MOO's synchronous "read" builtin, which is used in places for e.g. password changes or prompts. This is something I have not tackled yet, but will probably just have to deprecate, and will be one of the only things breaking compatibility with existing cores.

Alternatively I could or might provide a transaction mode which is "softer" for tasks that need that kind of dependent input.

It will require some thought. But on the whole MOO's model is similar to a database: In a DB it's query in, commit, see results; in my system in it's command parse, execute verb, commit, flush I/O results out.
Dead set, you should give the weirdos a go. If you listen to them, they'll often have some genuine wisdom, and they usually don't mind if you laugh at their crazy theories or disagree.
There are a few omissions here.

> Hindu nationals

This might be the only case over a decade of Modi's term where the entire Indian political class is united. The Sikh insurgency happened during the term of a party that's famously minoritarian. Indira Gandhi's, she was half-Parsi, half atheist-hindu, her president was Sikh, her body guards (who assassinated her) were Sikh and many of her most trusted generals in her most important moment (1971 war) were Sikhs.

Could you give me examples of Hindus having a bone to pick with Sikhs ? Or is it just Indians in general disliking violent terrorists.

The Khalistan/Sikh insurgency was practiced by a minority of Sikhs, and imposed themselves on mostly peaceful Sikhs of Punjab. Hindus suffered in the insurgency, but peaceful Sikhs were the majority victims.

Remember, India has been very accommodating of opposing views. Dravidian nationalists have controlled Tamil Nadu for decades and communists have controlled Kerala since independence. They all fight fair elections and the national govt. (NDA or INC) integrates one of their splinter groups into its wider big tent. The same has been true of Sikh groups such as the Akali dal.

The idea of India being a hostile place for Sikhs is somewhere between laughable to outright propaganda.

> discriminating heavily against it's Sikh minority in Punjab.

Could you give me examples ?

Sikhs are strongly represented across the wealthy and polical class of India. They have the same rights and more, at least more than the resident Hindus. (Because of how the Indian constitution gives extra protection to minorities for how they run their religious institutions).

Their state has been run by a Sikh for decades now. They were the biggest beneficiries of the 1960s green revolution by the federal govt, propelling them to the richest medium sized state in India.

Punjab has continued to unilaterally derail all agricultural reform in India, wile seeing their own Sikh leaders commandeer 30 years of economic underperformance as they refuse to move past ancient practices in agriculture. They were able to non-democratically storm arm the govt into revoking a bill with massive public and democratic support. They raided the red fort (closest thing to white house lawn) and replaced the Indian flag with a flag of Khalistan, without facing any repurcussions.

The idea that what's honestly an priviledged population is discriminated against in the country is ridiculous.
Of course, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle first rejected the Catholic faith of his Irish mother and father, and then passed through a phase of agnosticism.

Speaking of rejection, Agatha Christie was so deeply devoted to the Tridentine form of the Catholic Mass, that she signed a petition that resulted in Papal permission to extend celebrations of this Mass beyond the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. That permission became known as the Agatha Christie Indult.

Oh, so even when you think your files are private, Apple uploads content checksums unencrypted that allows Apple to know what files you have, and networks of other users that also have those same unique files.

This is a huge privacy issue.

What type of shadow ban are you talking about? Are you talking about being unable to post (e.g. The Frustration Loop) or about other people being unable to see your posts? Then yes, I agree that's worse than being banned. But if we're talking about a 10-60s lag (as I mentioned in my comment and the previous posters were talking about), I say that's better than being banned, because communication can still take place.

This is what worked for me, on the original article page (not the archive), using uBlock Origin (uBO):

- In the uBO dashboard, make sure you've selected "I am an advanced user" (which allows you to block specific domains).

- In the uBO UI, click "all" at the top to show all the domains, then block the following domains: meter-svc.nytimes.com and samizdat-graphql.nytimes.com. (Click on the column to the right of the domain name; it should turn red to indicate it's now blocked.)

(You can make these changes permanent by clicking on the lock icon in the uBO UI.)

After reloading the page, I was able to see the entire article.

The thing is, ROGD is not a scientific theory, it is a misdirection—or rather a debate tactic—by people with an interest in trying to discredit the existence of trans people. A true scientist would not have a “neutral take” on ROGD, just like a true scientist would not have a neutral take on the chemtrail conspiracy, or the theory that vaccines cause autism.

There are no evidence for ROGD other than very bad and highly suspicious anecdotal evidence. There isn’t even a statistical evidence for it. A scientist would know that, and would quickly dismiss this theory and all the talking points of those advocating for it.

btw. she raised more “concerns” than just the population skew in favor of trans people assigned female at birth—which btw. is not a concern, but at most a curiosity. She also had concerns about the efficacy and the long term health affects of gender affirming care. The concerns were without merit, and a true scientist with a neutral take would not find the long term health impacts “concerning” given the evidence we have, and as for the efficacy... well... see my parent post.
This is pretty on the nose for me. My wife and I moved from a Chicago suburb to Portland about 5 years ago. The amount of effort required just to strike up a convo with strangers (and keep it going) was pretty significant. We especially missed how acceptable giving people "the business" (i.e. harmless joking or razzing to lower someone's guard and make them feel comfortable) was so common where we grew up. You could give someone sh*t for something trivial then end up helping them remodel their basement.

It was isolating for a while until we sort of gave up and accepted that people are just different out here. There's nothing wrong with that, but we're moving back to Chicago (for other reasons). We're looking forward to not having to jump through hoops just to have a meaningful convo with a stranger again.

> okay but generally we want things to terminate.

Not in this case. In this case the author claims that if there are infinitely many solutions, the predicate should give infinitely many solutions. It's similar to how you want functions in languages that use functions to fail predictably. Eg. you want to receive ENOENT exit code if you try to open a file that doesn't exist. Or, you want to block forever if you join a thread that runs an infinite loop.

Do you want to have any of those behaviors in your program? -- rarely, and sometimes not at all. But you want your program to fail in such a way that would indicate that you coded it in a particular way that should result in such an error.
