i'm working on legacy huge spagetty code with no option to write effective integration tests, testing that my method retuns some correct string/int etc will do me nothing, the whole system is huge with many integration points and no infra for writing integration tests and no time to do it. what should i do? (I love TDD, tests in general).
Tomer··on Ask HN: Should I choose Sun Solaris or Linux?
Interesting...
Tomer··on Ask HN: Should I choose Sun Solaris or Linux?
What distribution do you recommend? (which is stable enough...) I wanted to choose CentOS because I know RedHat are saying they do lot of tests to their distribution before they release... so I wanted something that is fully tested and reliable.
Tomer··on Ask HN: Should I choose Sun Solaris or Linux?
So how come many "big" companies are using solaris with much success?
Tomer··on Ask HN: Should I choose Sun Solaris or Linux?
Why not CentOS? what would you recommend then?

I saw that oracle are really emphasizing how their OS has much higher performance than linux I wondered if its correct or if their benchmarks are good: http://www.oracle.com/us/solutions/performance-scalability/b... http://jp.sun.com/solutions/infra/eda/pdf/solaris-linux.pdf

So I wondered if i'm missing some tens of percents in performance by not choosing Sun Solaris...

Tomer··on Ask HN: How to become friendly, communicative and talkative?
Hi read some reviews of this book in amazon and I saw this:

WIN PEOPLE TO YOUR WAY OF THINKING

? Don't argue! Give in! Agree that the other person is right; often they are and if they aren't, you'll never convince them of it by arguing.

and I ask what?! don't argue with people? that is exactly my problem, if i don't stand to my points and argue with people they won't respect me for having my own views! I don't think that is a good quality at all! people should be heard! what do you think?

Tomer··on I need to find out how to finish anything I start. Help me. Please.
before you start the project create a couple of items mentioning tests that would test that the project is done. Then when you want to leave/mark project as completed while its not, run these tests (manual) if you dont pass the tests you didn't complete, complete it!
