Unironically yes, mostly cause most websites on mobile are the most horrid experience and an app for the average audience is just how phones are nowadays

I have hope. Last time they got hit with an anti monopoly lawsuit that should’ve forced them to sell away chrome, but unfortunately they got bailed out. Here’s hoping next time they aren’t so lucky

I hope google fails as a whole in the near future and gets dissolved once and for all. Sick and tired of tech companies trying to be sources of authority, working with authoritarian governments, and dictating what you can and can’t do.

The issue with my org is the push to be ci/cd means 90% line and branch coverage, which ends up being you spend just as much time writing tests as actually developing the feature, which already is on an accelerated schedule because my org has made promises that end up becoming ridiculous deadlines, like a 2 month project becoming a 1 month deadline

Mocking is easy, almost everything in my team’s codebase is designed to be mockable. The only stuff I can think of that isn’t mocked are usually just clocks, which you could mock but I actually like using fixed clocks for unit testing most of the time. But mocking is also tedious. Lots of mocks end up being:

1. Change the test constant expected. Which usually ends up being almost the same input just with one changed field.
2. Change the response answer from the mock
3. Given the response, expect the result to be x or some exception y

Chances are, if you wrote it you should already know what branches are there. It’s just translating that to actual unit tests that’s a pain. Branching logic should be easy to read as well. If I read a nested if statement chances are there’s something that can be redesigned better.

I also think that 90% of actual testing should be done through integ tests. Unit tests to me helps to validate what you expect to happen, but expectations don’t necessarily equate to real dependencies and inputs. But that’s a preference, mostly because our design philosophy revolves around dependency injection.

To preface I don’t actually use ai for anything at my job, which might be a bad metric but my workflow is 10x slower if i even try using ai

That said, I want AI to be able to do unit tests in the sense that I can write some starting ones, then it be able to infer what branches aren’t covered and help me fill the rest.

Obviously it’s not smart enough, and honestly I highly doubt it will ever be because that’s the nature of llm, but my peeve with unit test is that testing branches usually entail just copying the exact same test but changing one field to be an invalid value, or a dependency to throw. It’s not hard, just tedious. Branching coverage is already enforced, so you should know when you forgot to test a case.

Edit: my vision would be an interactive version rather than my company’s current, where it just generates whatever it wants instantly. I’d want something to prompt me saying this branch is not covered, and then tell me how it will try to cover it. It eliminates the tedious work but still lets the dev know what they’re doing.

I also think you should treat ai code as a pull request and actually review what it writes. My coworkers that do use it don’t really proofread, so it ends up having some bad practices and code smells.

I’d be inclined to try using it if it was smart enough to write my unit tests properly, but it’s great at double inserting the same mock and have 0 working unit tests.

I might try using it to generate some javadoc though… then when my org inevitably starts polling how much ai I use I won’t be in the gutter lol

The only options for nuclear weapons are none at all, or everyone with one.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where they exist, and as such, you cannot trust enemies or even allies to have good conscience. If the only way to guarantee your country’s safety against a country with nuclear weapons is your own, then this headline was inevitable.

Big tech in HCOL areas (Seattle, all of Cali, etc.) pay new grads about 100k to 150k base, with a hefty sign on bonus (anywhere from 20k to 50k). RSUs usually only vest about 5 to 10% of their total stock in the first year, but thats about 5k to 10k

Of course HCOL means this money is relatively less than it seems, but still a lot for new grads.

Considering october is the planned end of life for w10 I wouldn’t be surprised

How about trolldier wearing the gibus

Nier and Signalis are the first two that come to mind

Honestly also Minecraft but that was mostly because I was playing during a bad time and the ost kicked in

I had a garmin vivomove hr. The idea behind it was pretty neat, but it was too annoying to keep charged.

Yea they’re pretty much the only brand still.

I liked my garmin vivomove, it was pretty nice despite some clunkiness (the one I bought was early on)

I’d like to try one, but I feel like I might end up not using it often or just not liking it

On a side note I wish hybrid smartwatches were still a thing. Most of the product lines are discontinued, but I liked the idea of it.

If only I could relive the wonders of beta 1.5 from fresh

Don’t get me wrong I think the evolution of minecraft is cool and one of my favorite mod packs was sevtech, which was around 2017, but beta 1.5 hits different when kid me was just spamming random mats into the crafting table to see if it built anything

I only played payday 2 casually because all I would play is hoxton breakout LOL

I was invested enough though to make my own skin mod (pre lootbox) and it was kinda popular

From 2016 to 2022, 80 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions were produced by just 57 companies.

Emitted 3.2% of total greenhouse gas emissions when refrigerants are included.

A/C is a negligible amount of the problem and in these type of weather is a necessity, lest vulnerable people like seniors die from heat stroke. You could 10x AC usage and it still wouldn’t even match what corpos emit. We have way bigger issues than more AC use.

You should probably reread the articles if you still think it’s an actual necklace and not a weighted exercise tool.

I’m not gonna continue with this since you think trusting a professional is equivalent to trusting a stoplight

It pays to not have morals. Hell it pays a lot to be narcissistic, just look at almost all the CEOs.

Again you make an assumption that people should automatically know about an MRI. I’m privileged enough to know because I love watching medical video essays and have the free time and access to do so. Not everyone has access to the same resources as you and I. Some people didn’t have the opportunity to go to college. Some people had no easy access to the internet when growing up. Some people don’t have time because they’re working 3 jobs to survive.

I’m not going to insult someone because they don’t know about x thing, because education is meant to be for helping others, not belittling anyone you meet just because you know more than them. Your first instinct shouldn’t be to ridicule a deceased person for not knowing as much as you.

Put into example it’s for a newfound medical examination that both you and I have no knowledge about. You trust the professional treating you that they know what they’re doing. A clinic isn’t going to assume you know every little detail about this. That’s the job of the clinic and their technician.

You also conveniently ignore that the technician was with the said person when he entered the room, aka he trusted the technician that he wasn’t doing something wrong. It’s not a case of he’s not allowed to be there and just so happened to trespass in with metal. He TRUSTED the professional here that he was allowed in and that there wouldn’t be any issues. The technician failed by not making sure he didn’t have anything metal. They should’ve thoroughly checked and even double checked before letting him in.
