One of my friends still uses google hangout to talk with me. I’m the only person they talk to on there. I ask them every so often to switch to signal. It’s, like, trivial to install. it’s free. They won’t do it. It’s too much.
I do not understand ADHD depression brain and I want to be kind but I’m also like “just give me your phone I’ll do it”.
I don’t think that’s always true. Some people develop a drug addiction and then that leads to homelessness. Spend increasing amounts of time and money on drugs instead of life needs, and then they’re broke jobless and out of options.
Someone who’s homeless may use drugs and develop an addiction, too. But the order of events isn’t fixed. I don’t know how common either order is.
Conservatives don’t care about truth or internal consistency. They just want to harm the out-group.
It’s not really that different from like
my_get_mock = Mock(side_effect=Some exception("oh no"))
result = some_func(http_getter=my_get_mock)
There’s many ways of writing bad code and tests, but mocks and patches aren’t always a bad tool. But sure, you can definitely fuck things up with them.
Javascript has mocking with jest: https://jestjs.io/docs/mock-functions
There’s an example there of mocking our axios (a common library for network requests, a la python requests)
It’s been a long time since I’ve used java, but mockito exists: https://site.mockito.org/javadoc/current/org/mockito/Mockito.html#2
(Usage note for anyone unfamiliar, but despite the name java and JavaScript are radically different languages.)
If there’s any justice, everyone who works for Palantir will be lined up next to everyone who worked for ICE.
I vaguely remember Java also has mocking libraries, as does JavaScript. (Though JavaScript isn’t a language I’d hold up as the ideal.)
with patch("some_file.requests.get", side_effect=SomeException("oh no")):
result = func_using_requests()
Though not every language makes mocking as easy, and multiple responsibilities in a single function can quickly get messy.
I used to be better at math and coding. If I pulled up my old project euler solutions I’m not sure I’d understand them anymore.
I used some AI at work to do some stuff in polars, because I don’t really know that library very well.
As a result I have a function that does what I asked for (I wrote tests), but I don’t understand it and didn’t really learn anything. Not a great trade.
On the one hand, better late than never.
On the other, the Republican party has been the party of maximum scumbag since like Nixon.
A couple weeks ago I was working with another developer, and we realized we had to change a string’s format slightly. He was like “I’ll do it in chatgpt!”. I just did it in python. Mine worked. His, we would’ve had to check carefully.
Yet once the measures are implemented and people become accustomed to their new, more pleasant surroundings, the benefits become clear.
Conservative thought is inherently stupid. Thoughtless. It just wants what is, without considering if the change is good or bad.
Vivek Tiwari, an investment banker, loves the new road for taking 45 minutes off his travel time. His office is in Nariman Point, the southernmost tip of the city, and home is 12 miles north in Bandra.
“It’s an amazing piece of infrastructure and driving on it is glorious,” he says. “Not all infrastructure can be equally parcelled out among the rich and the poor. Yes, only a minority like me use the road but maybe it’s going to help us generate more economic growth ultimately, which will benefit everyone.”
Vivek can fuck off.
Yeah… my current job like…
But they’ve been doing it this way for years, so changing it is a long road.
I don’t have a car but someone close to me does. Mostly for visiting family outside the city. I’ve said this often enough when we’re stuck in traffic that now she just looks at me and preemptively says "don’t say it!’
Yeah, this is one of the reasons why I only want to live in the NYC area of the US. Just take the train or bus, don’t worry about it.
Oof. I’ve had places that the pipeline was getting long. At one of my previous jobs I made it so all the tests could run locally, and we were keeping the full build as slow as possible.
We also didn’t do any browser tests (eg: selenium) because those tend to be slow and most people are bad at making them stable.
It’s important to know whats worth testing.
That’s the plan. Unfortunately the market is kind of meh. Lots of AI slop. Lots of getting ghosted.
Michael Kustermann should be fired, his compensation clawed back, and he should be barred from ever holding another decision making role for the rest of his life.
