How tf are hdds going up in price

Did the data centers somehow buy up all the sdds and decided nah we need more, lets buy up all the hdds too

Like ???

At this rate i gotta start grabbing my old drives to reuse because apparently 2010 equipment is back on the plate or smth

I just got recommended this funnily enough

Just train your cat to rob get it for free

Just saw this fitting post

New zealand is extremely prone because its home to flightless birds and other similar species that never grew up against land predators of this nature. That’s why cats and even rats are especially dangerous. These flightless birds have no real way of protecting their young and even themselves.

It’s sad for cats because we see them as companions and pets, but new zealand holds a lot of critically endangered species that simply cannot exist anywhere else

I don’t think just spaying is enough. It’d have to be capture or even worst case euthanize. Leaving cats and any nonnative predator is especially harsh on local species each second they are in the wild because new zealand is one of the few places with flightless birds like the kakapo, which are critically endangered (just one step away from being extinct in the wild)

Funnily enough I just got recommended to rewatch this old vid from tom scott

Thanks

Does anyone have the original of the dad doge

Gonna need it so I can use it as a reaction lol

Have business requirements change by the hour

Unironically yes, mostly cause most websites on mobile are the most horrid experience and an app for the average audience is just how phones are nowadays

I have hope. Last time they got hit with an anti monopoly lawsuit that should’ve forced them to sell away chrome, but unfortunately they got bailed out. Here’s hoping next time they aren’t so lucky

I hope google fails as a whole in the near future and gets dissolved once and for all. Sick and tired of tech companies trying to be sources of authority, working with authoritarian governments, and dictating what you can and can’t do.

The issue with my org is the push to be ci/cd means 90% line and branch coverage, which ends up being you spend just as much time writing tests as actually developing the feature, which already is on an accelerated schedule because my org has made promises that end up becoming ridiculous deadlines, like a 2 month project becoming a 1 month deadline

Mocking is easy, almost everything in my team’s codebase is designed to be mockable. The only stuff I can think of that isn’t mocked are usually just clocks, which you could mock but I actually like using fixed clocks for unit testing most of the time. But mocking is also tedious. Lots of mocks end up being:

1. Change the test constant expected. Which usually ends up being almost the same input just with one changed field.
2. Change the response answer from the mock
3. Given the response, expect the result to be x or some exception y

Chances are, if you wrote it you should already know what branches are there. It’s just translating that to actual unit tests that’s a pain. Branching logic should be easy to read as well. If I read a nested if statement chances are there’s something that can be redesigned better.

I also think that 90% of actual testing should be done through integ tests. Unit tests to me helps to validate what you expect to happen, but expectations don’t necessarily equate to real dependencies and inputs. But that’s a preference, mostly because our design philosophy revolves around dependency injection.

To preface I don’t actually use ai for anything at my job, which might be a bad metric but my workflow is 10x slower if i even try using ai

That said, I want AI to be able to do unit tests in the sense that I can write some starting ones, then it be able to infer what branches aren’t covered and help me fill the rest.

Obviously it’s not smart enough, and honestly I highly doubt it will ever be because that’s the nature of llm, but my peeve with unit test is that testing branches usually entail just copying the exact same test but changing one field to be an invalid value, or a dependency to throw. It’s not hard, just tedious. Branching coverage is already enforced, so you should know when you forgot to test a case.

Edit: my vision would be an interactive version rather than my company’s current, where it just generates whatever it wants instantly. I’d want something to prompt me saying this branch is not covered, and then tell me how it will try to cover it. It eliminates the tedious work but still lets the dev know what they’re doing.

I also think you should treat ai code as a pull request and actually review what it writes. My coworkers that do use it don’t really proofread, so it ends up having some bad practices and code smells.

I’d be inclined to try using it if it was smart enough to write my unit tests properly, but it’s great at double inserting the same mock and have 0 working unit tests.

I might try using it to generate some javadoc though… then when my org inevitably starts polling how much ai I use I won’t be in the gutter lol

The only options for nuclear weapons are none at all, or everyone with one.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where they exist, and as such, you cannot trust enemies or even allies to have good conscience. If the only way to guarantee your country’s safety against a country with nuclear weapons is your own, then this headline was inevitable.

Must have gone extinct in Korea then, considering all the Chaebols alive and well
