I would call code coverage "good" when I trust that: - When I change the logic of a statement somewhere in the code, at least one test will fail in the suite. A high % in a test report may give an indication but is far from giving

I was very interested by the question, and closed the page after skimming through the first screen: why is there any need to scenarize? why would I want to read about some guys in a bar? Can't we make it interesting to talk about what

Maybe I was wrong but what I understand by "hug" is the fact to hold someone chest to chest, arms on the back of each other. I do not mean kids being held in the arms of their parents or lovers loving each other, or people holding

Best hug for me is no hug, thanks. I would bet 95% of the human beings never hugs except between lovers or parents and their kids. I would bet hug is very much a North American thing. I'm French and hate hugs (we kiss on the cheeks, wh

Gooey is nice, it could help in a wish I have had since foreveR and is the contrapositive: a way to convert any action I do on my Xubuntu UI into a command line. Example: I pop the display config, hide the laptop screen, apply and confirm,

A long bunch of tests for a python RPC I was writing. My boss did rewrite the core code against the tests, so I could merge his code without even understanding it fully. And until now the test code is still healthy and growing, and it prove

I used recent speakers as simple Bluetooth speakers for a few years, and recently exhumed my old loudspeakers, those classic wooden box pairs with cables and rotative potentiometers. There's no photo: the sound is (was) much better. Do

Here on HN we need to back such affirmations with data. The bolder the affirmations, the more solid the data-backed proof need to be. If we were to exchange "philosophical" considerations here, I'd tell you that sunday fisher

Yes. But what's striking me is that one woud ever want to test only one input state. If I have to test function f(x) and see if its output is as expected, I always want to test many inputs (including "silly" ones like wrong t

My favorite feature of pytest is pytest.mark.parametrize, which makes it easy to do table driven testing.

Distance is no weasel word. China historically interfering with Korea or Vietnam is natural as it's neighbors and problems of one side of the border leaks on the other side, and cultural and economical influences are strong. But France

It's a good idea to question assumptions. And to me living in China since Hu, the main difference is that Chinese people themselves perceive Xi as much stronger than his predecessors, and probably rightly so: the crackdown on corruptio

That's not bread, that's sliced industrial cake branded as bread sold in wharehouses. Get your bread from a boulangerie and slice it yourself. And yes, buy no "pasta sauce" because it is just industrial pseudo tomato jam

> how much stuff has added sugar I depends on what is "edible stuff" to you. Carrots, meat, cabage, fish, etc. have no added sugar in them. Why not simply cook your food, like most people in the world do? From what I read here

I live in Beijing and there, for the few I know (because I never shop elsewhere), clothes in Muji are good quality, simple functional design, and relatively cheap.

North Korea is a good inverting mirror of our modern societies, and there is always something of inspiration in the diametrically opposite. I, for one, would welcome a brandless packaging of most products, where a pack of coffee would just

Is it only me or this looks like a Macron-effect? I mean, President Macron did show to the world it was possible for a young fellow to hijack the elections, even in a (relatively) stable democracy. Actually, if you think about it, it seems

3) Do not care at all, and consider that our bodies are pretty well tuned to handle such thing as a few particles of foreign excrement (or other dirty things). Seriously, we have become irrational animals afraid of everything. (I would wash

Well I disagree. The background music on transitional slides can be removed. The rethorical questions ("let's pretend we do not know about digital audio") are just time fillers. Waving the hands toward an inscrustation looks

Also, “Google memo” threads seem to be buried very quickly on HN, which is the only place I imagine where this discussion can be held between consenting adults, how come?

Some people are happy to shoot themselves in the feet (looking at your brexit) but I don't think Chinese are like that. Stopping right now all English courses in China would be harmful and unproductive. As would be blocking VPNs for re

It's very annoying to see such a comment assuming that HN readership is all and only US citizen. Very exclusive of the other people.

You can't shorten it like that. It's a complex litigation system were we westerners, when applying our own interpretation grid, see a presumption of guilt. For the core human values, a good example is the case of a little girl run

That's not core to me. The litigation system is highly cultural, can be a village assembly before the eldest, a full judiciary system as we have in the West, can be based on Roman law or jurisprudence. Presumption of guilt is just anot

Culture have traits, yes, and it's extremely difficult to name them with the words of another culture, and judging them bad or good from another culture is adventurous, except for obvious violations of core human values which I don&#x2

I agree that no good food come out of the microwave, but the reason is in the ingredients not in the owen. Cooking good Chinese food, for instance, do not require "many many tools", just the basics you'd find in every kitchen
