Unit tests are just as important as integration tests as long as they're tightly scoped to business logic and aren't written just to improve coverage. Anything can be done badly, e…

OP is probably referring to braceless syntax.

I can offer a rationale that I hope that will be interesting. Evidence is more effort than I'm willing to invest in a random internet conversation. I hope that's okay. I don't mean…

It's a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation. As far as I can tell this is (like most complicated things in life) purely a tax dodge.

> No? They, just like every other entity, will have to achieve it's investors goals using the least amount of costs possible. The Mozilla Foundation is funded by donors not investo…

people will blame anyone for anything. mozilla is a non-profit so doesn't need to respond to market signals. it would do a lot more and a lot more sustainably if it focused on the …

get the project taken over by a foundation eg the Apache Foundation.

Those are false equivalencies. The EU bureaucracy is a mess of competing factions. It isn't a corporation or a political party. A better analogy would be a US Government department…

You get ads outside the UK, which is always weird for me when i get back from holiday and have a bunch of shows i downloaded while I was in another country and haven't listened to …

The BBC is another bad actor in this space (although increasingly irrelevant). Their decision to "hide" most of their RSS feeds whilst still labeling their proprietary app subscrib…

> AI could take over and supplant a global government, threatening society, life, wealth etc etc. How would we tell the difference?

Dunno if anything has changed since last year but this was a very interesting post by one of the authors of Cats Effect - https://www.reddit.com/r/scala/comments/sa927v/how_will_lo…

Funding this war (which we're losing) is gutting funding for further education and scientific research. It's possible there's a secret plan which will turn things around, but it se…

Being the victim of an aggressor does not automatically make everything the Ukrainian government says true. That's bad logical thinking.

They used to have an option to permanently block sites from your google results. They quietly dropped it even before they dropped reader.

It's more like it's one way to funnel money to an asset or network without raising suspicions. But you're right, it was mostly about the propaganda. And not even particularly cover…

Political parties aren't people so assigning feelings to them is of questionable value, but no more so than calling someone insane for doing so. The underlying fact is that the Rep…

The thing being distorted is not passing tests, it's education. Learning the source material for tests does not give you a good education.
