The former. Business logic changes regularly. New phases of projects frequently require changes that break the unnecessary business logic test code.

Test code should fail when an important underlying mechanism regresses. If it always fails on the next phase of the project because some hapless idiot needed to cover every line, the signal to noise ratio gets weaker and the purpose of the test code is lost.

Agreed. One thing Juniors don't get (and some seniors) is when to test. I see them writing tests on business logic and have to correct them regularly. I've had to sit down and explain to 3rd party technical resources that they're foolishly asking for more technical debt by asking for certain tests.

The other thing Juniors don't get is prototyping. I regularly build something quickly to get the problem set into my head. If it's good enough, I'll leave it. If it's got issues, I'll throw it away and start fresh now that I know what I'm solving. Juniors don't work fast enough or effective enough to do things like that without putting timelines at risk. Plus, they frequently want to do some cargo cult methodology of the week like TDD.

Don't most of these tabloid-tier rags?

The tags aren't that hard to remember, either. Do not bleach is the only one that you have to think, oh right the triangle is a bottle of bleach. The circle in a square is describing spin cycle. The circle with no square is describing drying without heat. The iron is describing an iron. The dots always represent the three levels of heat, just like on your iron.

I remember this in spite of not having done laundry in 5 years. And you're exactly right. New symbols mean little to me, I would still need to look them up and then there would be twice as many bad symbols.

This redesign article is an example of why you should avoid UI/UX people who can only design. They'll change your branding everytime they get bored and create more headache than they solve.

I still agree with your high school inner child. I never made a single apple purchase in my life and I'm glad I never fell for the marketing.

Your belief stems from a nativity of the power systems and how they operate. Ideological zealots do try to dictate changes all the time. Look at history and understand the reason behind China and the replacement of the four olds. Look at what happened behind the scenes during the replacement of the Russian Tsars. Look at critical theory as a framework for gaining power.

Now understand some simple fundamental realities. Dictionaries have always been expensive and almost never turned a profit in history. They were created as loss leaders for name recognition, passion projects by eccentrics, heavily subsidized by fundraising or (most often) a combination of the three. They are subject to corruption through funding, through people, and through the will of their parent company.

Merriam-Webster should be focusing on language and it's use. Not subtly accusing Kyle Rittenhouse of fake crying during trial. It's corrupted at the personally level at the very least. Not to mention their cozy relationship with Google.

Oxford, like most universities, has had biased hiring policies since my parents were children. Today, it's filled with the out of touch, weak and over-socialized. They have received a mountain of criticism regarding their "woke score" hiring policies, "woke" additions to their dictionary and many other issues.

It's unfortunate that you and others trust such biased sources. Like being "the dictionary" gives it some sort of official authority on the way you can communicate.

There's a difference between changing a definition to match popular use and changing a definition to support a false narrative.

Dictionaries are extremely expensive to run and rarely turn a profit. Are you surprised the "major ones" will lie straight to your face and intentionally warp your perspective of the world?

You're conflating morphology with the cult-like zealotry against the four olds.

There are plenty of dictionaries that don't manipulate you 1984 style. I don't recall calling for any bannings, either.

> Yes, this has happened for all time.

No, that's a modern side effect of critical theory and grievance agitators. Nice try, though.

I can definitely see it being true in some cases, but in software I strongly disagree. I'm speaking as someone who started programming for clients at 15 and am poised to retire at 33. Everyone starts slowing down after 25. The extra years learning by experience gave me a leg up that was completely unmatched by others. It opened a ton of doors that shouldn't exist for a lower income kid with no opportunity for college.

Chess is a more extreme example. Grandmasters regularly play their best games in their late 20s for a reason. Super grandmasters all started playing around the same age.

Don't use dictionaries that change the definitions of words for political means. Retard means slow. A retard chamber, for example, contains retardant that is meant to slow the spread of fire.

There is a perpetual movement to take words and shuffle them around as a form of purity spiraling. People who don't want to work build entire careers out of pretending moral outrage. Play their game and you give them power. Next thing you know, the words that were okay to say are verboten and you're the next one crushed under the wheel of progress.

What I've seen from the valley people make this no surprise. Living in a place with an insane CoL so you can make an extra $20k/year. Working extra to not lose that meager amount of money because you're signed into a $3k/m studio apartment lease. Pissing away savings because you're burning out in style to deal with the extra stress.

Criteria for c-section. Rates among doctors is 1/3 vs the 8% among midwives. Baby in bassinet and baby on back. SIDS is linked to improper sleep hormone regulation, not sleeping on your stomach. Breastfeeding only once every 4 hours during the day and giving a bottle the rest of the time. Supplimenting formula when mothers are trying to exclusively breastfeed. Waking the baby up to breastfeed despite no weight concerns. Circumcision. Prescribing amphetamines to prepubescent children. Prescribing hormone blockers to prepubescent children. Prescribing thalidomide to pregnant women. Continuing to gamble with mass casualties by railroading experiments that have not been adequately tested relative to the subject size (like Tdap for pregnant women or the COVID jab you probably got).

Doctors as a whole are not given the allowances they need to think about what they're doing. Today, they are little more than billable entities that follow someone else's flow chart to serve you McHealthcare as "efficiently" as possible.

It is truly insane the things that doctors routinely recommend without doing any sort of real review. Get any of the asleep-at-the-wheel health organizations to support your finding and plenty of doctors will recommend even the laziest of new ideas with passion. General downward trend in SIDS over a decade? It's probably because babies that wear footie pajamas are less likely to get bad humors. You're a bad parent if you don't get Shekol brand sleepers.

There are two kinds of commenters in a flame war. First, the people lead by their emotion, who pretend their emotions can be rationalized as factual and logical. Then, the people who are easily baited into telling them they're idiots.

Sure, but at one point in time I had the names, addresses, social security numbers, DoBs and in-patient statuses of around 20k people. I didn't want it or like that it was there, but it was due to carelessness.

Or the time I found a client database was actually a flat file with usernames, emails and passwords in plain text.

Hertzbleed is out of a sci-fi movie. The stuff a lot of developers come across is not exploited sheerly out of professionalism.

This kind of makes me wonder if diving suits are going to include emergency buttplugs in the future.

Among the manga market, there is a wide range of quality. The success of an individual manga depends heavily on creating a story worth reading and using that quality to attract an audience. Other factors are at play, and what's "good" is a matter of taste. Still, morbius as a manga would not have attracted an audience, so it would not have moved up market.

Otherwise unknown artists can and often do make a name for themselves by telling a good story, and their story gets boosted by a functioning entertainment industry.

Contrast that to America's entertainment industry. A filthy and incestuous cabal of people decide what does and doesn't make it. Ideological zealotry required to step foot at the gates. Serial rapists as the gatekeepers using their power to take advantage of others.

Japan's entertainment is fundamentally different because the stories are proved in the manga market before they move up the entertainment chain. In America, the same nepotistic cretins write the same drivel - or are hired to fill in the mad libs template for a sequel's drivel - over and over again. Stories are tested by an executive before coming to TV or theaters. Not an audience.

The existence of bad doesn't mean the absence of good. There's next to no good American media produced in the last decade. Maybe even longer. Counter that to a country that regularly produces new, original, captivating stories on a regular basis.

> IMO a lot of movie plots are really bad and stick to typical tropes and lessons

It's a huge problem. I have watched very little American media produced in the last decade because of this. Whenever some coworker talks about how great this new show is, I'll watch it and cringe. It's 90% an A-plot B-plot following the same tired template. Then 10% of it is doing some form of virtue signaling, grievance agitation or other propaganda technique to rile the plebs. I can only imagine people who watch it are desperate for any sort of escape from reality.

Outside the US, at least other countries play with different storytelling techniques. France with their 85 plots in a single story and Korea with their strong single plot driven by the main character's emotion. Plus, thankfully Japan's entertainment industry is going strong by having the different mangas compete with each other until the most interesting stories get adapted into an anime.

I had no idea there was a difference between the oranges. What I know about is apples, growing up near a lot of apple farms. It's probably not worth trying to compare our niche insight, though.

Hollywood isn't circling the drain? The only way for them to turn a profit is sequels and remakes. The industry that was created by intrigue will be killed by executives trying to make a marvel cinematic universe

They're a company truly trying to strike a balance between defending the IP they create and what's best for their community. There's no real winning move here that doesn't open them up to Chinese framework clones on Alibaba in a month

It should be noted that the Bob cartridge is completely optional you can also just add regular detergent as per the manufacturer.

It's not enough to notice that something's possible. You have to do it for a good laugh and show your friends. Sorry, Valve.

I was going to write you off as one of those weird trackball people, but then I dug into the mouse. It does look like a useful tool for CAD in conjunction with a normal mouse

Based on my calculations, it was money.

The same new cars that need the entire transmission replaced if any one thing goes wrong in it? Compared to those poorly built old cars where you could blow a gasket and just put a new one in?
