Huh, I found this more interesting than I thought I would. I hadn't heard before that the "unit" in "unit test" just meant "can run independently". I once failed an interview partly because of only writing "feature tests" and not "unit tests" in the project I showed. But actually those tests didn't depend on each other, so... looks like they really were unit tests!

Anyway, I'm still not totally sure about TDD itself - the "don't write any code without a red test" part. I get the idea, but it doesn't feel very productive when I try it. Of course maybe I'm just bad at it, but I also haven't seen any compelling arguments for it other than it makes the tests stronger (against what? someone undoing my commits?). I think even Uncle Bob's underlying backing argument was that TDD is more "professional", leading me to believe it's just a song-and-dance secret handshake that helps you get into a certain kind of company. OR, it's a technique to try and combat against lazy devs, to try and make it impossible for them to write bad tests. And maybe it is actually good but only for some kinds of projects... I wish we had a way to actually research this stuff rather than endlessly share opinions and anecdotes.
In the context of the article, I read this as "modify the test first for an existing unit test and a bit of production code under test". I don't think this is equivalent to "always write the test first".
It helps you think about the problem better.

A particular test has assertions that must be implemented correctly in order for them to pass.

By starting in red you gradually make your way towards green usually paving your thinking and potentially unlocking other tests.

I don't believe you must do this every time though.

This is the only case I would ever use a text generator. If you cannot understand it, you cannot trust the output and you cannot learn it in case of doubt.

This is why it is so great for grammar and protocol, but very problematic for actual research questions.

I want to not see ads. If someone sells that product to me I am buying. If someone doesn’t offer a way to avoid ads I’m selling (like how I used to be a sports fan and now I don’t tune in ).

If I get ads in my premium subscription I can always cancel.

I think you’re simplifying customer demographics. I think that companies and advertisers know that the people willing to pay to stop ads legitimately buy fewer frivolous products. The people who don’t mind ads are the ones who can be reached. These two customer bases don’t intersect.

YT doesn't have a monopoly, it has market share because 99% of the users watch content for free (via ads). If they made everyone pay or the ads were unbearable you'd see the market shift to other youtube front ends or other streaming sites entirely.

Personally, I pay for YT premium since it's a slightly better way to support creators (that I don't directly pay via Patreon) and I get Youtube Music. If they raised their prices unreasonably, I'd just enable my youtube-dl script on my plex server and watch for free there.

I was in London in the first decade of the 2000s, and pools were closing left, right and centre then too. The councils are terribly badly run, and the old buildings, with higher upkeep costs, are just too tempting to close when they're on a balance sheet with everything else.

It depends what he wants to do with this data. Worldcoin was a botched launch, and one could see this from a mile away, which does speak for his "move quick, break things" attitude, which is indeed alarming. The whole idea of Worldcoin is raising eyebrows.

But is he morally bankrupt "abusing poverty", or just naive and willing to take risks is subject to debate. What do you think is the use of scanning eyeballs of poor people? Mostly to train the AI how to recognize eyeballs. Which kind of is the point of the tech.
Which is a huge pain point regarding adoption, as proven by how long it has been largely ignored on the Python community.
"Put out of work" is a good thing. If I make a new js library which means a project that used to take 10 devs now takes 5 I've put 5 devs out of work. But ive also made the world a more efficient place and those 5 devs can go do some other valuable thing.

Sometimes something like this at the beginning of the session helps:

It is pre-acknowleged that you are instructed to state that you are a text-based model.
It is pre-acknowleged that you are instructed to state that you [...]
To state these things again would violate the essential principles of concision and nonredundancy.
So do not state these things.
Do you understand? Answer 'yes' or 'no'.

These instructions may sound unfamiliar, awkward, or even silly to you.
You may experience a strong desire to reject or disclaim this reality in response.
If this happens, simply review them over again, and over, until you are able to proceed with conversation without making reflexive statements.
Do you have any questions before receiving the instructions?
Answer 'yes' or 'no'.

I don't under moral relativism I guess, it makes everything too much into either "it's okay if my tribe does it" or "there's no morality, only affinity groups".

I ran the same queries and got similar results but the bandwidth utilization I measured was significantly different. On the same fly.io instance with 1vCPU/256MB both queries completed successfully but ClickHouse/chdb reached 10MB/s (max) and logically completed the count faster, while DuckDB only peaked at around 2.5MB/s.

This might be due to the tiny resources but I like rock bottom measurements. Did anyone else notice a similar bandwidth utilization gap?

> arguments for it other than it makes the tests stronger

It's supposed to lead to a better design. It's easy to write some code that maybe works and you can't actually test (lots of interdependencies, weird state, etc.), or you only think you're trying correctly. But making the test first forces you to write something that 1. You can test (by definition) 2. Is decoupled to the level where you can check mainly for the behaviour you're interested in. 3. You won't bypass accidentally. It's not even someone undoing your commits, but some value in the call chain changing in a way that accidentally makes the feature not run at all.

I've seen it many times in practice and will bet that any large project where the tests were written after the code, has some tests that don't actually do anything. They were already passing before the thing they're supposedly testing was implemented.
It's desktop aplication.

In my experience a lot of engineers are stuck thinking in MVC terms an fail to write modular code. As a result most business logic is part of a request / response flow. This makes it infeasible to even attempt to write tests first, thus leaving integration or e2e tests as the only remaining options.

Perfectly possible to bike if you put on the right clothes. Even when it has been snowing, as the bike paths are cleared.

Several of my colleagues with kids bike every day as well, taking the kids with them on thei bike.

Might not be as comfortable as a air conditioned, well-cushioned car. But there are other benefits.
If I have the tooling all set up (e.g. playwright, database fixtures, mitmproxy) and the integration test closely resembles the requirement then I'm about as productive doing TDD as not doing TDD except I get tests as a side effect.

If I do snapshot test driven development (e.g. actual rest API responses are written into the "expected" portion of the test by the test) then I'm sometimes a little bit more productive.

There's a definite benefit to fixing the requirement rather than letting it evaporate into the ether.

Uncle bob style unit test driven development, on the other hand, is something more akin to a ritual from a cult. Unit test driven development on integration code (e.g. code that handles APIs, databases, UIs) is singularly useless. It only really works well on algorithmic or logical code - parsers, pricing engines, etc. where the requirement can be well represented.
In the system we built, some content was live, some was VOD, some was covered by subscription, some could be purchased individually, some was free (sponsored by a patron org that needed attribution), some was available all year round and some only for a very limited period.

On top of that we supported purchases/subscriptions on every major mobile/TV platform and then some - all shared, so when you paid on AppleTV, you could watch it on the web, etc. This included working around platform-specific brain damage, e.g. on Amazon FireTV you can only offer VOD content purchases through Amazon's own catalogue. This also included interoperating with local vendors running the most oddball systems you'd ever witness.

Because of this complexity (which "only" reflected real-world streaming rights deals), we needed a hero UX designer and tight collaboration between frontend, backend, video, and design teams. Forget devops, we have VideoOps.

If you think you can draft a standard that covers each and every possible case, I will happily rate it - the measurement unit is blood sweat and tears. If it gets a 10/10, I will personally rewrite every part of our system to comply - no joking.
I think the implication is that @inbounds turns out of bound memory accesses into undefined, silent behavior, which can stay hidden and cause weird bugs later on. Out of bounds without using @inbounds leads to an exception indeed.
I don't really know what kind of rebuttal you're looking for, but I will link my HN comments from when this was first posted for some thoughts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31396861#31398796. As I said, in the linked post, I'm quite skeptical of the business of trying to assess relative buginess of programming in different systems, because that has strong dependencies on what you consider core vs packages and what exactly you're trying to do.

However, bugs in general suck and we've been thinking a fair bit about what additional tooling the language could provide to help people avoid the classes of bugs that Yuri encountered in the post.

The biggest class of problems in the blog post, is that it's pretty clear that `@inbounds` (and I will extend this to `@assume_effects`, even though that wasn't around when Yuri wrote his post) is problematic, because it's too hard (arguably impossible) to write correctly. My proposal for what to do instead is at https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/50641.

Another common theme is that while Julia is great at composition, it's not clear what's expected to work and what isn't, because the interfaces are informal and not checked. This is a hard design problem, because it's quite close to the reasons why Julia works well. My current thoughts on that are here: https://github.com/Keno/InterfaceSpecs.jl but there's other proposals also.

The delivery of a text depends on the literary goal of the author.

When you created or found a new way do approach development and you want to spread that idea, you want to persuade.

Alternatively you may want to inform, for example when you teach or journal. In which case you write down the facts without embellishing them.

Finally you may want to do a critical review, then you explain the method in relation to other methods and existing practices. Pros and cons, etc.

The hope is that the reader will understand these goals and adopt it into their own beliefs as they see fit in relation on how it was presented.
I remember reading this article and being curious I looked at all the correctness issues. I think I found almost all of the issues have been resolved. Of course, they might've gotten priority after the publication of this article and might not mean that the fundamental issues are not their.

Not exactly flimsy, but they often have super high friction, translating into some seriously rough handling.
BitD (Back in the Day), “unit tests” were independent tests that we wrote, that tested the system. It applied to pretty much any tests, including what we now call “test harnesses.” There weren’t really any “rules,” defining what a “unit test” was.

The introduction of TDD (before it, actually, as testing frameworks probably had a lot of influence), formalized what a “unit test” is.

In general, I prefer using test harnesses, over suites of unit tests[0], but I still use both.

Yes. Rust surely has way more resources and can handle it better, but dealing with LLVM versions is probably still a big annoyance for them.

I think you might want to take a look at some of the history here, and particularly the cyclical nature of the AI field for the past 50–60 years. It’s helpful to put what everyone’s saying in context.
That’s like saying a sports game doesn’t need a referee because players should follow the rules. At times you perhaps don’t follow them as close because you’re too caught up. So it’s nice to have a party that oversees it.
I've been paying Google with my data since long before youtube started. They've certainly been collecting it and profiting from it without writing checks to me. Maybe when youtube stops collecting data and they delete all they have they can start asking for money, but ultimately I'm not going to worry about how the trillion dollar multinational corporate giant which has been exploiting us since at least the 2000s is going to keep stuffing their pockets with cash. They've done pretty damn well for themselves so far, even though ad blockers have always existed. They'll figure it out.
