thanks for the responses, i just wanted to cut through the marketing. taking on standardised tools is a win for me, i just wanted to know about real world experience and use-case. Indeed taking on deps is not something i do lightly.

> value of test pyramid

I mean more from the perspective of covering your bases, you never just want one kind of testing pattern in your project. Each codebase is different and i agree that taking on high value test styles/cases is a project by project challange that should be tailored by many variables. The shape of your testing pyramid may be different to others. If your inheriting a legacy system, maybe its top heavy because the effort/reward ratio just isnt there. In this circumstances i usually take on the approach of "add more layers when bugs are found" to hone in on places that could use more or less test coverage.

Our inhouse framework is really just a wrapper around certain tools that fill different gaps (think docker/selenium etc) in order for different projects to build suites that are compatible with our ci/cd pipelines that do things like generate environments on demand to run test suites against. So dropping in testcontainers to replace the home-grown docker will be trivial. Keeping test frameworks fresh and compatible with the cloud vendors that agreesively upgrade is a challange just like keeping the API bleed of other programming deps is. Our test suites essentially have a domain language that is consistant. We can upgrade selenium, swap functions for different operations, without having to change any tests. Same goes for unit or integration tests - they are exactly the same in terms of assertions, syntax etc, they may just just have different environment setup logic. CI/CD can inject and overrride logic as it needs. Sometimes its suitable, in some cases, to mock certain external hard deps in integration tests for instance to having all the unit testing tools availible a plus. Or in other cases, we may take a unit test written against mocks, and inject real deps into it for certain CI/CD scenarios.
Pollination is a whole adventure -- they're naturally pollinated by flies not bees, so you either need to hang a few dead animals in your tree or you need to figure out hand pollinating. There are some good resources at Kentucky State, and I've found the researcher there very friendly and approachable if you need some advice on it. Shoot her an email.

Payday loan companies like Klarna should probably apply AI to avoid granting loans to people who obviously can't pay them back...

Oh, wait, that would probably be be 90% of the people that use these loan providers to buy something. They should probably be regulated out of existence instead.
It just worked on Safari on iOS. That’s pretty impressive.

L/D changes with angle of attack. You can have a different airspeed at the same angle of attack and the ratio does stay the same. I think the Wikipedia page gives good descriptions.

Something a bit misleading done generally is aircraft don’t have one L/D, they have many, depending on angle of attack. When you see one number, it’s usually the best one.
Yeah but a cell phone and a computer are close cousins.

A car and a cell phone, or anything Apple has yet made, are wildly different. They may as well have had a battle tank program, or started making airplanes. Those things have screens and "infotainment systems" too.
This kind of framing is the NYT’s equivalent of clickbait for their subscribers. They also practice some clickbait as well, but imho not a lot.

I have heard that the stake was specifically intended to be driven into the floor of the coffin once it had completely penetrated the body with the intention to hold the vampire in place, rather than merely used as a weapon stabbing the heart as is near universally depicted in film.

That simply isn’t true.

Downvotes don't make the statement magically more true.
Yeah - I find that sticking to tests like this means I don't have hundreds of tiny unit tests that rely on mocks, and it's still very supportive of refactoring - I can make some pretty big changes and be confident that I've not broken anything because a given request continues to return the expected response.
Thanks for the thorough analysis. In British Columbia, and specifically where I live, much of our electricity comes from hydro electric, we have suitable pathways-with-boulevards for walking, and the streets have segregated or low traffic bike lanes. That leave us with an almost idyllic situation for walking, biking, and EVs. Not only does that support a reduction in my CO2 production, but also it support my personal well-being with neighbors, exposure to nature, and exercise.
You might be interested in Fedora's Atomic desktops. They are immutable OS's where you don't spread crap all over the filesystem. Instead you rely on flatpaks, containers (toolbox or distrobox), and single binaries (if you got them).

Why a supercar? The apple watch (except the v1 "edition") was never going to compete with luxury watches. Airpods Max are in the higher end of consumer headphones, but a downright bargain compared to "luxury" headphones. Apple doing a lux-lite iteration of a common consumer good makes way more sense.

The environmental hazards to cyclists are far beyond any extra danger Uber and Lyft provide and they lose to more popular constituencies regularly because most people in America even in the cities are not cyclists and often resent cyclists.

We prioritized cars a long time ago, and we’re still paying for it. I’m not happy about that fact either. You can absolutely argue that cyclists are victims to a tyranny by majority much as I can argue that that the presence of Uber and Lyft is a net benefit versus the status quo that existed prior to their coming onto the scene, and I’ll just say both things can be true. People also lose in democracies.

If it's "we're moving everyone downstairs so we can turn off the heating on the 6th floor" then it does. But yeah, even in that case it's better to skip the bullshit; if you've laid off a bunch of people and you're packing the people who are left into a smaller space to save money, if you tell them that, they'll understand.

If you haven't personally witnessed a Total Solar Eclipse, and haven't seen this Smarter Every Day video, it's worth the watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNK2LI7VeX4

He interviewed the guy who wrote the Solar Eclipse Timer app (https://www.solareclipsetimer.com) and also publishes a ton of info about eclipses in general (especially how to spot all the different interesting parts, and how to capture it on camera). That info is in a book here: https://solar-eclipse-timer.myshopify.com

No affiliation with either of them, just they have some of the most succinct and helpful info, especially for sharing with other people too (I hope to have my kids manage a few experiments during totality, assuming we don't get any clouds!).

The average American is not struggling to pay for food.
It is interesting to draw a comparison with food. Practically speaking we can't go 24 hours without food, it is essential. Most people are totally dependent on others to provide their food; look at any city - the population density is too high for people to grow their own food. The food providers have no inherent incentive to make food cheap. It is totally against their interests. A shallow look at the situation suggests food providers should be able to squeeze people until all the money goes to farmers. But that isn't what happens, food is actually absurdly cheap and available given how important it is and how much needs to happen to produce it.

The situation with insurers is similar. If there was a real market that people could enter, competitive pressure would force them to be cheap. If the market was, hypothetically, choked by regulation then they'd be in a great position to charge absurd prices.

Market incentives are odd beasts. It is technically against the interests of the insurers to negotiate lower prices - unless they are competing with other insurers. Then it is in their interests to offer fair prices.

(if it isn't clear, I think I'm agreeing with you)
Does this work with podman or is it docker only?
Awesome! Large % of foreign streams have no proper dub.
Nope, that's not how it works anymore. First, insurers (payers) no longer even provide much insurance. The majority of their business is now managing networks and processing claims on behalf of self-insured employers.

Second, payer profit margins are now capped by the 80% minimum medical loss ratio introduced by the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Payers actually make less profit when they deny care. When coverage for certain services is denied it's usually because your employer designed your plan with strict limits.
Insurers used to make their money that way. But now that US health care insurers are required to use at least 80% of premiums to pay health care costs, they've lost the incentive to keep prices low. Increasing their profit now requires paying out more in claims.

> "If we eclipse the Sun in the future with technological solutions, it may affect the clouds," he explains. "Fewer clouds could partly oppose the intended effect of climate engineering, because clouds reflect sunlight and thus actually help to cool down the Earth."

The idea that we'd eclipse the sun to control the climate is just one of the dumbest scifi nerd fantasies I've ever heard.

It's a good thing young idealists generally are never in positions of power to actually try their ideas.
To clarify, supertux2 is mostly a distro thing. For a while both 0.1 and 0.3 were shipped, and the user-made levels were not quite compatible between them.

Specifically, 0.1:

* had a fixed screen size

* only let you go forward

* used different mechanics for the fire-throwing upgrade

Nowadays it's been long enough that most levels are written for the later versions. And IIRC recent versions re-added some support for forward-only levels (race against the clock).
Nothing in that answer from 2011 even mentions permissions, and most of what it does discuss was pretty outdated even then.

I think there's a fourth, which in my opinion is even more world shattering than the others -- the replicator. It often was shown as a novelty device to make food or warm beverages, but the ability to convert energy into any needed material would instantly transform the world into a post-scarcity, post-economic future. What would you even use as currency when everyone has personal money making machines? I've seen some people be skeptical towards the utopian future of Trek, and I understand that a bit as the show puts great emphasis on the warp drive, but I think the replicator is quietly the greatest invention they depict (and unlike warp drive, at least vaguely possible).

1. /bin (and /sbin) were intended for programs that needed to be on a small / partition before the larger /usr, etc. partitions were mounted. These days, it mostly serves as a standard location for key programs like /bin/sh, although the original intent may still be relevant for e.g. installations on small embedded devices.

2. /sbin, as distinct from /bin, is for system management programs (not normally used by ordinary users) needed before /usr is mounted.

3. /usr/bin is for distribution-managed normal user programs.

4. There is a /usr/sbin with the same relationship to /usr/bin as /sbin has to /bin.

5. /usr/local/bin is for normal user programs not managed by the distribution package manager, e.g. locally compiled packages. You should not install them into /usr/bin because future distribution upgrades may modify or delete them without warning.

6. /usr/local/sbin, as you can probably guess at this point, is to /usr/local/bin as /usr/sbin to /usr/bin.

Admitting when you’re wrong is tough. Here’s an upvote.
Surprised to learn that the clouds are constantly dissipating and have to be fed new vapor from the ground to be sustained; the fact that they go away on the time scale of the eclipse suggests it’a fast process. Then again, when a plane goes by its trail seems to be gone within minutes.
I wouldn’t consider something that was never made available to the public a product, nor what looks like a simple gold bracelet particularly garish.
Why some languages show one country and others show two countries?
I think they make the biggest difference when testing data pipelines (which have historically been difficult to test). You can now easily test out compatibility between different versions of databases, verify data types, embed as part of your build, etc.

I believe the next step, once using test containers, would be automating data generation and validation. Then you will have an automated pipeline of integration tests that are independent, fast and reliable.
Sorry, I'm not sure if I get your point. Separating /usr and /usr/local doesn't have to do with permissions; it's just that package manager wouldn't be able to deal with users installing files into /usr and overwriting the package manager's stuff. The whole point of Gobolinux is to avoid this sort of problem. Because each package gets its own directory instead of all being stored in a central location, there's no risk of one package stepping on another package's toes, and it's also possible to install multiple versions of the same package.
> Unit tests with real dependencies

That's an integration test. These are integration tests. You're literally testing multiple units (e.g., Redis, and the thing using Redis) to see if they're integrating.

Why do we even have words.

These are valuable in their own right. They're just complicated & often incredibly slow compared to a unit test. Which is why I prefer mocks, too: they're speedy. You just have to get the mock right … and that can be tricky, particularly since some APIs are just woefully underdocumented, or the documentation is just full of lies. But the mocks I've written in the past steadily improve over time. Learn to stop worrying, and love each for what they are.

(Our CI system actually used to pretty much directly support this pattern. Then we moved to Github Actions. GHA has "service containers", but unfortunately the feature is too basic to address real-world use cases: it assumes a container image can just … boot! … and only talk to the code via the network. Real world use cases often require serialized steps between the test & the dependencies, e.g., to create or init database dirs, set up certs, etc.)

It feels like it is a massive transfer of trash from one country to the rest of the world... done in individual packages... sent by plane. I fail to see how society in general is benefiting from it.

I'm one who thinks that teaching books should have a question-and-answer format with the ability to discuss the subject after it's read AND a quick quiz to make sure the reader has absorbed the studied subject. Otherwise, it's very easy to read without absorbing any knowledge. I would even go as far as having the sections written in the same way as a newspaper article. With a catchy title and a format that gives the who, when, where, why, and how. At least, the books for the introductory courses should have that format. Current textbooks just flood the students with facts with little absorption. One big problem is that the sections are too long and it becomes a struggle to power through the section which leaves less energy to absorb the subject so my format would catch the reader's attention without feeling exhausted. There's such thing as mental exhaustion. Doing whatever is needed to minimize it should be a goal worth pursuing.

While I agree with that in principle, in practice that's not true for a lot of applications that put a lot of stuff into ~/Library and /Library, and it's not unusual to see multi-step manual instructions on how to uninstall some apps on macOS. (Especially important if those apps add Login items) Windows' Add/Remove Programs at least gives a central space to trigger an uninstall, and most apps stick to it properly.
