This is a very important point.

The key difference is that a rock (like any ballistic projectile) accelerates until terminal velocity. In contrast, a 747 (like any airplane) descends with a constant vertical velocity when they lose power.

In a very similar vein, a projected called Starknet recently airdropped tokens to early adopters/developers/supporters, the claim process for developers was tied to the GitHub names.

Two issues arose:

- GitHub names can change, this lead to race to squat names that had rights to the airdrop for any since changed names

- it’s incentivised those who are “farming” airdrops, ie creating multiple personas/wallets in an attempt to get larger allocations, to now add making low value pull requests to GitHub projects
Running unit tests as integration tests will explode in your face. In any decent complex code base testing time will go through the roof and you will have a hard time getting the genie back in the bottle.

Testing that you actually run "sum()" is a unit test.

You can see the effect in the second animation of the linked page, but the basic idea is the lower the Reynolds number, the less likely for flows to separate and become turbulent. Shrinking the scale and slowing the airspeed both lower the Reynolds number, so paper planes have vastly different aerodynamics to full size aircraft.

> My possibly Luddite opinion is that using the most amazing and surprising new C++ features is not the best way to build code consumed by others.

It's ok if you opt to not jump onto the latest and greatest, specially at the interface level.

What is counterproductive is to not learn new features, and know when and when not to use them.

It makes absolutely no sense to stay stuck in C++11 when there's a heap of basic features that were since made available throughout the last decade.

It's even more critical the fact that the C++ standardization effort placed a great deal of effort on vocabulary types, which by its own definition mean types excpliticly designed to be used in interfaces.

It's perfectly ok to make a call to not use exceptions, template metaprogramming, multi threaded support, etc. What's counterproductive is staying stuck way back in 2011 because you do not know what's out there.

Beautifully written. In equal parts poetic and depressing.
But there's no one who does productivity today who's gonna trade their laptop for a VP and there won't be for decades because strap-on dorkboxes that mess up the hair and makeup of half the productivity population, something they put effort into before going in to the office, is a non starter for like 99% of them.
Title editorialized for clarity.

The issue appears to be reproducible in a sense in the comments. The best theory is that Copilot injects emoji after each bot paragraph outside of the LLM itself and therefore ignoring the user's constraint, meaning the LLM has to attempt to resolve the contradiction.
There is no mystery to declining birthrate - it correlates universally to economic development at state level, which in turn is dependent on increasing women labour force participation. Economic development does not happen without women entering the market economy, yet when this happens women stop having enough children to replace those in the population who die. This is the same phenomenon everywhere, we are only seeing the most acute manifestation in East Asia first because they never had mass immigration to temporarily fix the numbers.
It's because apple can't get games or gamers so productivity is all that's left and productivity means office workers, half of whom wear makeup and spend time on their hair and aren't about to wear a strap-on dorkbox that weighs 1.5 pounds and destroys the effort they put in before going into the office.

As a glider pilot, this doesn’t surprise me at all…We are always on the lookout for those clouds and learn to interpret when they “pull” and when the cloud is dissipating (which means there is little chance of updraft under it).

Also, not all cumulus come from heated floor, it could be formed by different in temperatures and pressures in upper layers that pull hotter, stationary air from below, but there is no clear updraft from the ground up to be expected (usually common post-warm fronts or in troughs).

That being said, having specific requirements for the environment of your integration tests is not necessarily bad IMO. It's just a question of checking these requirement and reporting any mismatches.

> Why Am I Doing This?

> I have no good reason. I just want to see if I am capable of doing it and what will happen.

I laughed at that line. The whole thing sounded crazy enough that I figured there was some body hacking/hyper optimization angle to it. I’m glad that it was just for the hell of it! I probably wouldn’t try this particular experiment on myself, but I appreciate and share the “fuck it, why not?” ethos.
Nah, people have been building amazing content for VR headsets since the 80s. i used to use them in arcades and companies toured devices and content across college campuses in the 90s and we've had Quest for a decade with 6 million MAU today so there's plenty of attempts and it all falls short of mainstream value. Useful for gaming and some VR porn and that's about it. No strap-on dorkbox face computer will ever take off for productivity, not as long as half of office workers spend huge amounts of time on hair an makeup to look nice at the office. No chance they're gonna muss that all up to get another couple screens at their desk when they've got desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones already.
Concorde was also late and over budget. And until Congress defunded the 2707, it had more pending orders from more airlines than Concorde did. Sonic booms weren’t the only reason for the cancellation but they were probably the single biggest reason.

Also, Concorde wasn’t even the first supersonic airliner—that was the Tupolev Tu-144.

As conscientious objector in the 90s in Germany we had to do an alternative basic training[1]. Part of the ordeal was a whole day - from bed to bed - in a wheelchair.

We were divided in groups of two, one guy played the wheelchair user, the other the caretaker. We made a day trip by rail to the lovely town of Bamberg.

Our task was to observe how people react to us and write it down in a report from the perspective of the wheelchair user and the caregiver respectively. The day after we discussed our reports in the group.

One thing I remember is, how much physical strength it requires in your arms to drive up an incline and the fear of rolling backwards, maybe even toppling backwards and hitting the ground with your head. The other that trains and stations were completely unprepared for wheelchairs in the 90s.

We did the blind experiment as well, but only for under an hour within our building. Here the caretakers were split into two groups and half of them were secretly told to let the blind guy run into a wall or over a step just once. Afterwards we had to discuss how that affected trust in the caregiver.

[1] This was not really meant to prepare us for our duties on the frontlines at hospitals and homes for the elderly, though in my case it helped a bit. The real reason was to uphold the Wehrgerechtigkeit - the idea that consciousness objectors are subject to the very same conditions as conscripts. In practice this idea fell short, because places for training were few and people randomly selected for it.
There’s no single axis to people’s decisions though.

The Japanese brands have stagnated in terms of style, features and BEV availability. Especially in the case of Honda, they’ve also lost that impression of reliability.

Tesla and Hyundai/Kia are eating their market for what people’s wants have changed to: cars as an extension of the rest of their lives, not just a utility.

ease of use has to be viewed in that context
You honestly believe Tesla is minimalistic? I see it as bloatware. I have to click through three dialogs to open my glovebox? How many servos and sensors are necessary to make the flush door handle pop out? And still not work in cold weather? I have multiple layers of menus to stare at dialogs to tell me how to basically use the car? Come on.
You could equally say go ahead and invest in malls, theatres and wedding event spaces if you believe in real-world rituals making a comeback.

Even if you could give fresh incentive for disuse of daily tech the damage is done as the habit (effort:reward) is too easy to slip back into. There's no going back to "dinner's ready!" lovingly shouted every night in every household because the devices produce indifference to situations which don't elevate the self in some near instant way. There is only going through tech now that better boredom traps exist and boring rituals trigger the action that solves the problem.

In some ways big tech is goading the start-up world to take the bait to build these niceguy wholesome less addicting social networks doomed to failure. Like OP's post, a good percentage of complaints on social media are about social media like a lover's quarrel. It's by design. In pricing strategy they say you are leaving money on the table if a good third of prospects don't baulk at the price.
yes in a decade they can sell the AVP for $500 and not lose money. in a decade the AVP will be a joke and we'll have abandoned this nonsense once and for all (except for the actually useful gaming and porn applications.)
I never really liked testcontainers. Too complicated. And I don't want to have my tests make too many assumptions about what level of control there is over their environment. IMHO it's just the wrong place to be messing with docker.

I don't like layering abstractions on top of abstractions that were fine to begin with. Docker-compose is pretty much perfect for the job. An added complexity is that the before/after semantics of the test suite in things like JUnit are a bit handwavy and hard to control. Unlike testng, there's no @BeforeSuite (which is really what you want). The @BeforeAll that junit has is actually too late in the process to be messing around with docker. And more importantly, if I'm developing, I don't want my docker containers to be wasting time restarting in between tests. That's 20-30 seconds I don't want to add on top of the already lengthy runtime of compiling/building, firing up Spring and letting it do it's thing before my test runs in about 1-2 seconds.

All this is trivially solved by doing docker stuff at the right time: before your test process starts.

So, I do that using good old docker compose and a simple gradle plugin that calls it before our tests run and then again to shut it down right after. If it's already running (it simply probes the port) it skips the startup and shut down sequence and just leaves it running. It's not perfect but it's very simple. I have docker-compose up most of my working day. Sometimes for days on end. My tests don't have to wait for it to come up because it's already up. On CI (github actions), gradle starts docker compose, waits for it to come up, runs the tests, and then shuts it down.

This has another big advantage that the process of running a standalone development server for manual testing, running our integration tests, and running our production server are very similar. Exactly the same actually; the only difference configuration and some light bootstrapping logic (schema creation). Configuration basically involves telling our server the hosts and ports of all the stuff it needs to run. Which in our case is postgres, redis, and elasticsearch.

Editing the setup is easy; just edit the docker compose and modify some properties. Works with jvm based stuff and it's equally easy to replicate with other stuff.

There are a few more tricks I use to keep things fast. I have ~300 integration tests that use db, redis, and elasticsearch. They run concurrently in under 1 minute on my mac. I cannot emphesize how important fast integration tests are as a key enabler for developer productivity. Enabling this sort of thing requires some planning but it pays off hugely.

I wrote up a detailed article on how to do this some years ago. https://www.jillesvangurp.com/blog/2016-05-25-functional-tes...

That's still what I do a few projects and companies later.

It's kind of an investment. It's a chore to begin with, that hopefully pays off in the long run.

Moving to a foreign country with an unfamiliar culture and language, and establishing a new life there, is a chore. Probably even more so if you don't have a spouse or something who's familiar there:

Learn the language, the culture, establish or reestablish your daily habits, find new friends and ways to socialise, perhaps new hobbies if the old ones aren't available. Find out where and what to shop and how to cook, when the stuff you know is gone. Turn your house into a comfortable home, etc.

If you're older you might not feel that you'll get to see much of the payoff.

I also imagine it gets harder to find people who are open to new friendships, as you get older.
Title of the article:

> Why you shouldn't exercise to lose weight

Content of the actual article, many paragraphs down:

> [P]eople who have had success losing weight have a few things in common: They weigh themselves at least once a week. They restrict their calorie intake, stay away from high-fat foods, and watch their portion sizes. They also exercise regularly.

I mean, I agree with the general thrust of the article, but really now! Exercise is important for reasons that have nothing to do with immediate weight loss. You shouldn't quit smoking to lose weight either, and in fact nicotine is an appetite suppressant, but you should still quit smoking.

Arguably you're no longer testing a unit if the unit involves an integration with an external component, making it an integration test per definition.

Integration tests are fine, but they test something else - that your component integrates as intended with <something>, while a unit test moreso tests that your unit behaves in accordance with its specification.
Ah fair. Yes I definitely agree with that.

Yes, but maybe there was only ever one species, and the idea of other species is itself a misunderstanding.

One can find a bit of bone and claim it is 'Neanderthal' but how can you or I really know this? We cannot. Can one really look at a piece of bone and then gauge how intelligent a creature was from that? No again.

And then, think of the need in science for this type of evidence. Think of the desire for some people to find fame and fortune with their 'discoveries'. Think also of the impossibility in verifying these sorts of potentially false claims - these claims cannot be falsified; there is no test to confirm or deny.

Putting it together, one can also see all sorts of reasons for these sorts of claims to be created and allowed to stand, regardless of the quality of evidence.

To me, with 'Neanderthals', we are in the realm of conjecture. These are ideas. They might be ideas that are faithful to the evidence, well-intentioned attempts at a best explanations... Or they might be a fabrication that arose out of a desire to complete a backstory. However, if we want to speak truthfully, we need to bear in mind that we can never know if these ideas accurately depict history. It doesn't matter if there are whole subjects in academia on the topic, and books etc that assume these ideas to be true - we cannot treat these ideas as facts.
