That device's legacy lives on and is still in active use, though the main customers are now cows: https://www.dutchnews.nl/2021/05/rotterdam-floating-farm-cri...

Most likely the latter. Thousands of bikes, a hundred people, and more than thirty cars fall in to Amsterdam canals each year. "What to do if your car falls in the water" is part of driver's ed.

I hate to admit it, but flaky tests almost always highlight weaknesses in my software architecture. And fixing a flaky test usually involves making the actual code more robust.

> Who tests the tests? To me it's a bit like double entry bookkeeping. Two layers is valuable, but there's rapidly diminishing returns beyond two.

I think it's relative, right? That's how abstractions and interfaces work. I can write a module with integration tests at the module level and unit tests on its functions. I can now write an application that uses my module. From t

At a smaller scale, the efficiencies gained from properly designing the system are not a major savings. That said, if I had a garden with a big fountain I absolutely would try to model it in EPANET ;) Just how fancy is your irrigation syste

I suppose it's correct to say EPANET competes with expensive commercial offerings, but it's actually available completely free: https://www.epa.gov/water-research/epanet I know someone who uses it to design c
