@ggreenwald You're the one who's wetting the bed either way.

This sounds like a very, very, very far distance from "unconditional surrender," but if Trump wants to declare victory and pretend that something important was accomplished so that he can pull out, the sooner the better. Let him throw a parade for himself if that will help.

@minnano_dougaww The benefitting team should lose automatically. Then they will stop.

@ForecasterEnten Democrats are losing touch with reality.

John Fetterman's had a 108 pt drop in his net approval with PA Dems since 2023. His net rating is -40 pt net approval with them. His net popularity with his own party is worse than all senators who lost a primary this century. There's no historical analog to his unpopularity.

@RadioFreeTom Because the alternative is worse.

We could argue that Trump 1 was a one-off, a freak occurrence. But electing him *twice*? Raises reasonable questions about what kind of electorate would do that.

@Antisimplistic @svpino Never said your tests werent useful. Just incomplete.

@agmethod75 @svpino “Can’t test fully” != “can’t write useful test.” Black-box unit tests come from the contract. Internal knowledge helps with defensive coverage, not with the existence of unit tests.

Tests have nothing to do with whether you understand the code. They exist to prove the code does what it’s supposed to do. I don’t trust any code I haven’t tested. That’s true whether I wrote the code, you wrote it, or an AI wrote it.

@j_fishback what good is a rural hospital without doctors. why would teachers deserve such a bonus? what would it do to the housing market if you gave all that money out? all stupid ideas.

Would you rather spend $200 billion to bomb Iran or…? A: give every teacher in America a $62,500 bonus B: provide downpayment assistance for 20 million young families C: build 1,300 rural hospitals

@Antisimplistic @svpino Unit tests have the same issues. Users could use atoi or atan2 or various other functions that come with baked in edge cases and silent errors you need to test for. If you dont know whats in the code you cant unit test it fully.

@agmethod75 @svpino yes, in that case. even my original response limited the point to unit tests. your response ignored that. both povs can co-exist.

@Antisimplistic @svpino Then you do know the implementation details.

@agmethod75 @svpino If it matters, it’s part of the contract, and tests should define it. Switching SQL engines breaking tests is the point. I’m talking about pure, black-box unit tests - necessary but insufficient and, in some code, not practical. In those cases, more tests check implementation.

If they choose one SQL server versus another there will be differences in how case-sensitivity is treated and in what is acceptable with respect to type coercion when inserting data. If you dont know which one they are using your are going to have holes in your testing. This is one of a million such examples. You guys are making a mistake.

@agmethod75 @svpino at least for unit tests, the whole point is to test input vs output independent of implementation, so it is not necessary to understand the code. otherwise TDD would be impossible, e.g.

@stevewesthoek @svpino The point being there are edge cases you aren't aware of and in reality you are depending on the programmer to cover those cases.

@agmethod75 @svpino As a professional software tester, I’ve tested plenty of systems without knowing the code. Not knowing the implementation is actually an advantage, it forces you to test behavior, edge cases, and assumptions instead of writing biased tests around how the code “should” work.

@svpino Implementations have their own weaknesses that are not always present in the plan. We allow it because we get performance or because we don't have a better solution to a problem

@agmethod75 This is actually false.

@oelma__ How else are you going to shoot your onlyfans stills?

🤔

@jankrom123 @uthman_dev Sounds awful.

@uthman_dev It’s actually a lot of fun to learn You get to see stuff like borrowing, lifetimes, and a deep level of how async works which I haven’t see in any other language

I wish I just knew Rust without having to learn it.

@Matt_Pinner If it doesnt make you miserable, its a cheat code. You get more done before most people wake up than some people do all day.

Why..

This is what the Islamic Republic does to their political opponents. Do not look away.

@winthornegary @Phoenix2A_1980s I have a small simple one in my basement near my furnace etc. No idea what possessed them to put it in.

@Phoenix2A_1980s Career firefighter here… I have never seen a sprinkler system inside a house. What the actual fuck is going on

When you hire the 3 guys you found in front of a Home Depot to fix your sprinkler system:

@Phoenix2A_1980s You gotta put the guy with man hands on that job.

@trikcode Grow a spine.

There’s a new kind of burnout now. Not from working too much. From trying to keep up with tools, models, frameworks, launches, and 600 people saying “it’s over” every morning.

@saylordocs No one in the west considers 5000 a month rich.

$5,000/month USD is around $155,000/month in Thailand. That’s luxury condo, daily massages, great food, zero stress. You’re not rich in the West… but you live like a king in Thailand. Now you understand why people are moving there.
