The status quo, globally, is inequality and suffering for many. What a pathetic way of thinking that this must be defended with violence. It's unthinkable for you that this could be balanced out a bit more?

I'm very glad most of the HN content does indeed satisfy more narrow criteria than "it could be interesting to someone".

Agreed. Someone made a weird font, congrats. Artistic curiosity maybe, but putting this on HN really is a big stretch.

Thought the same, copy-pasting valuable blocks as a reference into a comment worked fine. If it exceeds a one block rewrite, make small dirty commits to keep track of things. On one hand it's nice that there are tools to support devs w

Agreed for map, filter etc. but reduce is the exception. There has been a fad of overusing it, until that article popped up which called it out.

Been through this process. Thing is, when you have a <Heading> component, you might as well simply write a css module for that component. Tailwind is great for "fast prototyping" and quickly styling a bunch of static HTML th

Ok, so the implementation-awareness lies in the fake itself, not the code setting up mocks. But creating the fake is part of testing, if you follow this approach. So you're still doing implementation-aware testing in the end. Don'

> why should anyone care about someone else’s test architecture, of all things. As long as you neither under- or over-testing, why on earth does it matter? If you have to maintain tests written by other devs you might start to care. Devs

How are fakes, as described in this article, not also implementation-aware testing?

Yeah of course, if I'm already in the process of acquiring some skill, willing to do all the exercises, look up what I don't understand somewhere else, etc., I will learn that skill and the book will help and be a good foundation

by doubletgl 6y ago
Some books explicitly claim to teach you a specific skill. And some people have that general expectation towards books. This is what the author criticizes, as I understood their points.

It's not really all that grey currently. The contrast has in fact gone way up.

Post title raises an expectation that is hardly met. So what are the psychological effects? Oh I don't know, here's some random thoughts about C++ code style.

This rather sounds like short term vs. long term decision making, or accumulating debt. What are the "coins" of Greshams's law in your example?

by doubletgl 6y ago
Yes, and it's nonsense. "I needed something to convert markdown to html", "I like the component mental model", "I wanted to use Node libraries for date formatting etc.", "Next has a great developer ex

We ended up painfully removing it from a large frontend project because the custom classes sprinkled everywhere got out of hand and the design started to look more and more inconsistent in a lot of places. Switched to CSS modules (and React

For the study with cars at an intersection, they simply used the model and make of the cars, so an old toyota vs. a new mercedes for example would be on opposite ends of the spectrum.

You're aware we have IntersectionObserver now?

Agree with your general point, but I think you're generalizing a bit too much. There's plenty of movies that aren't Top Gun-level propaganda. The Hurt Locker, Jarhead, all the ones commented below.

Yep

Parent comment is wrong, as you just demonstrated with your statement about the bug not occurring.

by doubletgl 7y ago
No. Vorführeffekt is used for anything that suddenly behaves differently when an audience is present. Be that features that suddenly don't work when observed, or bugs that suddenly don't reproduce anymore, etc.

True, but then you're taxing someone for a crime they haven't commited yet and might never commit.

You can rationalize this all you want, it felt out of character and rushed to most people.

Terribly vague naming. As a non-native speaker I would've never guessed the purpose, and I've been in the English speaking tech sphere for many years. Does anybody actually say "this website will sunset in 5 years"?

React and other JS projects gave them a largely positive reputation as tech employer in that field.

At least not on iOS, it needs to ask for permission first.
