Your point is valid, and some of the dialog in the replies to your comment is also valid. So, I'm just responding to the root of the dialog. What architectures are you working with that suggest higher integration test strategies?

I'd suggest that the balance between Unit Test(s) and Integration Test(s) is a trade-off and depends on the architecture/shape of the System Under Test.

Example: I agree with your assertion that I can get "90%+ coverage" of Units at an integration test layer. However, the underlying system would suggest if I would guide my teams to follow this pattern. In my current stack, the number of faulty service boundaries means that, while an integration test will provide good coverage, the overhead of debugging the root cause of an integration failure creates a significant burden. So, I recommend more unit testing, as the failing behaviors can be identified directly.

And, if I were working at a company with better underlying architecture and service boundaries, I'd be pointing them toward a higher rate of integration testing.

So, re: Kent Dodds "we write tests for confidence and understanding." What layer we write tests at for confidence and understanding really depends on the underlying architectures.
Hi Peter, I’m an employee at big tech in an L1 VISA in the US. I’d like to know what happens if I get laid-off. Will I have a chance of finding another job. How much time will I have before leaving the country?

I’ve heard I can get a green card via significant US investment. How much does that requires? Can I stay in the US while the process is ongoing?

It seems like old Google Meet app is getting replaced by new Meet app. So no worries about this one.
They have much more support than that. Apple may not be willing to provide direct assistance (and I wish they would) but they have designed the system such that it's not locked down nearly as much as an iOS device. To the point that on ARM64, one may add a second OS without losing system integrity on one's primary OS.
I don't know why i keep popping into these WP related threads, gotta take a break... Apparently also just read that he used the .org to push a post promoting alternative WPEngine hosting to his affiliates. I have no clue what is going on anymore.
How would they even find an exoplanet as small as earth if all they can see is a couple of square km? Point it at the system and hope the planet just happens to move across the field of view?

That is what I am telling you.

Again, sounds like what a boomer thinks young people would think is cool.

My whole point is not that old things are never fashionable again in the present. It's that this phenomenon is not something that is easy to manufacture and that Sears was in no position to manufacture it.

The idea that if Sears had simply decided to be online they would have Amazon's business is malarkey IMO. They could've made it happen but it would've taken lucky break after lucky break after lucky break.
Is Matt Mullenweg defending WordPress or sabotaging it?
Have a look at the kernel >5.x.y organization. Overlays were a necessary result of every manufacture spinning their own board variant with standard cores and generic drivers. i.e. to bring up the hardware a generic monolith kernel would need to balloon in complexity, and could still mishandle ambiguous module setup etc.

It is a kludge for sure, but a necessary one in the current ecosystem. =3

If you are a qualified buyer, and want to pay at least $24000, you can take one of the methods and check it yourself (there are more than one, but work on same principle). I don't put the algorithms in computers, so any checking above a 9 digit product will have to be done by someone else.
There is enough of a clue in the ebay description to figure it out yourself, maybe. It seems obvious to me since i already know the answer. I assume now that capable mathematicians can make the connections much faster than i did.
Let me know if you figure it out and factor your test number quickly.
Then again, i really don't care if you do, which I'd bet all my money and yours too that you won't figure it out.

Your payment for the game was the smallest amount of collateral that was taken from you.

The cheating server situation is a similar concept to hell banning but poorly executed.

Hell banning is the status quo. If you try to play Overwatch they probably query VAC and might match make you with other people with VAC bans.

It’s hard to know without working for the game studio.

There is no hard technical solution to preventing cheating for many games. It depends how you describe insurmountable DRM or anti piracy measures, such as operating the only copy of the game’s backend server code. If people have no viable alternatives to playing on your remote servers, then you have an anti cheat solution. The net result is that all games, in a Darwinian way, start to look like this. Similarly on PS5, you cannot pirate their games practicably, so there is a vibrant single player business.

It all goes back to: are the only valid limitations on users insurmountable DRM? If we enforced copyright infringement in this or any country it would be a different story.
We can make few circles around Sun, to gain speed.

Take into account much much harder radiation in interstellar space, which will require much heavier radiation shield. We can make as many circles around Sun as we need, like a commet.

I get that it rubs people the wrong way when private equity is taking competition and making money off your work. But such is open source. Burning the whole thing to the ground seems extreme.

The Board should step in.

I use wordpress at a non-profit and would go to some meetups and went to a word camp. Wordpress always seemed about people solving problems related to making a website. People were pretty nice, and Gutenberg while controversial was already done by the time I was using wordpress. Its pretty good for a in web layout tool. I think a lot of good will is being used up here. Wordpress survives on its community and plug ins, not on its technical merits.

Being open source it can always be forked. If only there was a company that has revenue that could take a fork and run with it...

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. I agree that visibility can affect upvotes and rankings. Given the challenge of monetizing without pay-to-win or intrusive ads. Your suggestions—like a voting freeze during sponsorships or vote expiration—are good, interesting ways to further address this concern.
It can harm it too; if a thread here has more comments than upvotes, it's heavily penalized by the algorithm. I have seen good stories sometimes get buried because two early commentors get into a fight, before there's enough time to gain more upvotes.
Can someone smarter than me explain to me why we haven't moved away from email yet, or why there hasn't been a move away from it? I don't understand why we don't have some opt-in infrastructure replacing emails. E.g. you get a message from a company and before they can send you anything else you need to opt-in to receive messages from them.

Why isn't there something like a "Proof of human" protocol where when you sign up you verify yourself with government ID (same as you do for banks) and then from this you can produce infinite unique ids for authentication to websites instead of emails. Your identity is unknown where you sign up, but wherever your ID is used it is known that it is a human being.

>80% of all emails are used for nowadays seems to just be to have a unique ID in a database for a user that can also be used to contact said user. You could have some protocol where the unique ID can be used to initiate a chat with someone, but they won't receive it unless they opt-in.

The incentives for ad companies would even align with this since what company doesn't want exclusively "proven human" users they try to send ads to.
OK, for that definition of "everyone" then yes, it's probably mostly true under normal circumstances. (Poor Jews may have been buried without shrouds, I don't know.) But 1) being crucified was not a "normal circumstance" and 2) linen did not become common as a material for burial shrouds until many years after Jesus died.
Having read McLuhan, I'm honestly surprised anybody at Meta would be a fan. His work can easily be read today as a pretty damning indictment of the inherent problems with social media.
Oh well, what can be done?

Why does it matter what instruction set the chips support?

The main difference between x86 and ARM is that x86 is slightly harder to decode because instructions can be variable-width. But I have never heard of instruction decoding complexity being a particularly important bottleneck.

That would fit:

> "Here, we show that this 60-year-old long-sought effect has been concealed for all this time in the physics of induction generators. Induction motors are constituted of two components: an external stator, composed of circuits generating a rotating magnetic field, and a rotor, also composed of several elementary circuit loops, usually in a squirrel cage configuration. By replacing the internal circuits of the rotor with a solid metal cylinder as in Zel’dovich’s original proposal, and using a gapped toroid within a LC resonator as stator, we isolate the key physical effect and unambiguously observe Zel’dovich amplification, which manifests itself as a negative dissipation induced by the rotor in the LC circuit."
I really don't understand the "exhaustive specification" thing. How else is software supposed to work but with exhaustive specification? Is the operator + not specified exhaustively? Does your intuition tell you it is enough to give some pairs of numbers and their sums, and no need for some words that explain + computes the algebraic sum of its operands? There are an infinite number of functions of two arguments that pass through a finite number of specified points. Without the words saying what + does, it could literally do anything outside the test cases.

Of course, for + it's relatively easy to intuit what it is supposed to mean. But if I develop a "joe's interpolation operator", you think you'll understand it well enough from 5-10 unit tests, and actually giving you the formula would add nothing? Again I find myself wondering if I'm missing some english knowledge...

Can you imagine understanding the Windows API from nothing but unit tests? I really cannot. No text to explain the concepts of process, memory protection, file system? There is absolutely no way I would get it.
In the realm of privilege escalation and data exfiltration, the physical world quietly screams secrets. We'll demystify the fascinating physics behind signals and how various forms of energy--infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light, radio, ultrasound, audible sound, mechanical vibration, and temperature--can be interpreted as waves that unintentionally leak information, even in air-gapped (non-networked) systems. We'll observe how air is in fact not an effective gap or barrier as radio, light, sound, and vibration excitedly travel through it. We'll explore how all electrical signals radiate electromagnetism (light or radio) that can be intercepted and how we can reverse this process, producing electromagnetism to inject desired electrical signals into our target.

We'll delve into historical and seminal side-channel/TEMPEST attacks from our friends at the NSA, KGB, and past DEF CON pioneers. You'll learn about the essential electrical and optical components combined for cutting-edge eavesdropping, including what our target is typing from a distance.

While others believe they're obtaining noise, we will extract signal, and you'll leave this talk hearing the world in a new light.
Win32 slays yet another would-be challenger.

Perhaps it is prudent to not challenge Win32.

Sorry, my bad - regional availability and cost were the challenge, not BiPAP-ness. A Luna TravelPAP looks 20 W max and there's a USB-C cord. Heat and humidity is separate - a disposable sponge.

Given 100Wh batteries, I've wondered if one could kludge a TSA-compatible carry-on electric mobility device, like skateboard wheels plus selfie sticks, as a one-bag travel scooter. My hungry laptop already needs several. Or carry a conversion kit for an "amazon, use, then give away" inexpensive manual kick scooter.
That's exactly right. This appeared before on HN but that's what I wrote about a couple of years back: https://renegadeotter.com/2023/09/10/death-by-a-thousand-mic...
Surprisingly weak article from such a strong economist. TLDR - "a one time tax of 10% or 20%" and "expat taxes". Agree with all of his points but wish that this was a more substantial policy recommendation.
I understand your pain, but this is the best we could do right now to be able to implement the privacy features we mention on the website. Think about it as MFA by default, and Google is a super simple way to pass the first method.

Links & tabs contain a lot of personal data, and I'm sick of hearing "Encryption at rest", while not knowing that all the admins can still see everything.

It sucks I know, but at least the encryption & anonymity are rock solid.

We'll definitely try to find other solutions in the future.. and by the way, passwords don't need to be complicated ;) There's no restrictions

Your post I was responding to was complaining of financial pain in buying a home. Now you're saying it's a financial benefit. Either way, what I'm saying is that you have a choice.

Also, it's worth pointing out that your 10 year sample happened to be one during which housing construction was at historically low rates, which lead to exceptional increases in housing prices. There are other 10 year spans in which your outcome would have been very different.

The OP reads much like the archetype - it doesn't make any mention of building parts of it while searching, or of finding funding, or actually if contributing anything other than some ideas. Good to hear this OP can build stuff, doesn't really change the contents of the article as written.
I have a strong inverse relationship between talking and fatigue in meetings. If I'm talking, it's generally because there's something for me to say, which means I'm engaged. I guess it does hit a limit where I've talked too much, but in my role that's pretty rare.

What gives me fatigue is the opposite. It's the meetings where I have nothing to say whatsoever. It's driven by the refusal, or inability, of organizers to plan or focus their meetings. I spend >95% of my meeting time trying to judge how little attention I'm allowed to pay to what's being discussed. Because I usually can't just leave and actually focus on work, but I also can't pay attention because the conversation is meaningless to me (think: discussing extremely specific problems of projects I've never heard of). There's no winning move, so "try to keep an ear open for my name or other keywords while I fidget, draw, or otherwise waste time" is unfortunately the optimal strategy in most meetings, even though it's extremely tiring. Can't imagine if I had to have my camera on.

Now that I've written all this out... I might just start leaving meetings and hope I don't get fired.
The Quantum Computing Collapse Has Begun [video]
Docker on macOS doesn't have the same underlying system support as on Linux, which is where Docker originated.

The Docker experience on macOS is also marred by the fact that Docker Inc. appears to have limited interest in their Docker Desktop offering, whereas a third-party alternative like Orbstack provides a much better experience.
Hello Peter and thanks for the AMA!

I was accepted into a postdoc program and have an H1-B that was approved by the USCIS with no issues, but it was put in administrative processing by the embassy.

It's been in administrative processing for almost a year with zero follow up communication, and the council of my employer doesn't know or is unwilling how to get an update on this process. Is there anything that can be done to move it along?

P.S. : I’m an EU Citizen
Any suggested customizations or additional extensions? I use FF at the office but mostly Chrome at home, and the transition might be a bit painful.

This wasn't one $25 meal voucher, this was employees buying homegoods and pooling credit for other purposes:

> The staff who were let go routinely misused their vouchers

The ISA is, according to people far more knowledgable than myself [0], not a significant factor in regards to performance and/or power efficiency on modern CPUs. That's also why both AMD and Intel haven't done a bad job keeping up with Apple on the efficiency front, AMD since the 4x00u series and Intel now with Luna Lake. Nowadays, the OS not having downright broken sleep [1] is what keeps Macbooks slightly ahead, though then again, MacOS makes up for that with other bugs.

Cause of that, if one is willing and able to go for a well supported Linux distro, they can in my experience get good battery life regardless of ISA. Essentially, whether on a Macbook with Asahi or a modern x86 notebook with either Linux or an aggressively managed/fixed Windows install, you'll do well. Personally lack the skill for the latter though, my Surface remains scolding hot whilst sleeping even after a fresh install, but c'est la vie...

I'm not sure why you got so many negative replies. As some other commenter pointed out, it can be a good use case for reusable, copyable desktops. Another use case I though about for some time - if we build an OS (a "traditional one") that consists of just a browser and only necessary stuff for running a browser, your product would be a great fit as well
Unfortunately, many knowledgeable and intelligent people have failed to look into CU from any angle other than the one it is usually presented from: that is is about corporate spending on elections.

Which it is, but as the GP described, it's about a lot more than that.

I happen to think it was incorrectly decided - SCOTUS should have differentiated between different categories of corporation (using existing tax code distinctions), and prevented (at least) regular for-profit corporations (of any tax status) from political spending. It would have left the door open to not-for-profit corporations still being free to spend money on e.g. publishing a book about a candidate within some date of an election, which is precisely what we want not-for-profit civic organizations (which are, you may recall, also corporations).

However, it really is "pretty clearly correct" that had SCOTUS simply ruled that "no corporation can <X>" (for various values of X), we would be an extremely different and probably much worse situation than we were before CU. Whether it would be worse than the one we're in post-CU is hard to say.
My B1/B2 visa application has been in administrative processing (221g) for over 8 months. I assume the security checks are in place. Russian citizen, multiple US visits in 15 years.

Show HN: React-guitar-chord, a react component for chord name to guitar diagram
I made a pretty simple react component that takes in a chord name and spits out a guitar chord diagram. So far it has no regard for playability or bar chords or any alternate positions, and doesn't ensure that all the notes of a complex chord are played. It has a bias towards open notes so with enough alterations it tends toward an open strum. Still, it's pretty accurate for simpler 3 or 4 note chords. I think my next step will be ensuring that 4 or less fretted notes are included in a chord diagram, using bar chords and moving up the neck if needed.
My fear/anxiety causes me to avoid action. Fear of mistakes, failure, reproach/criticism from others, that it's going to take a lot of time/money, that I'll waste a lot of time/money, etc.

Then, once I've procrastinated, my fear/anxiousness of the consequences of NOT doing the thing kicks in and I rush to complete it.

It's great! /s

The best solution I've found is to slow down, introspect into and address my fear/anxiety, and reassure myself that most of the time my fears are entirely or mostly unfounded, and that even if something "bad" happens it won't be catastrophic.

I don't practice that enough, and that's the hill I'm climbing now. I'm also trying to learn to lean more into the feeling of accomplishment ahead of time. In a "it will feel so good to get this done, even if it's not great" way.
