If management had its say, there would be a committee created to determine the optimal rise and set times, then someone would suggest altering the color of each sunrise and sunset, then someone else would recommend that the sun simply stay stationary at noon. And then there would be a separate committee formed to decide on moonrise and moonset, which would come up with conflicting design ideas, and eventually the entire thing would be implemented in a duck-typed language with a function called "whenever."

Everipedia is trying something that no other player in the space has done: moving to a blockchain. I tried for epistimi... epi... that once, and couldn't talk for a week.

So now we have an immutable list of bullshit, instead of a mutable list of bullshit. Big whoop.
(And Everipedia doesn't trip of the tongue--too many syllables. Why not YetAnotherPedia?)

Or to really generate a lot of buzz (there's no such thing as bad press), why not "The PediaFiles"?

Scientists have successfully applied magnetic assist recording to magnetic-holographic memory to reduce recording energy consumption and achieve error-free data reconstruction. This new technology is promising for practical application of magnetic-holographic memory as a rewritable, ultra-high-density, high-speed optical information storage medium. It's our only hope?

Could it be that.

On a recent podcast conversation the topic of unit versus integration testing came up. I don’t find the distinction helpful, but I’ve never been able to explain why not, nor what distinctions I do find helpful. This note is my attempt to clear this up. How about just "tests"?
|
|
|
|
|
The term "unit test" seems to be somewhat flexible. Where I work now, a "unit" is a feature. So a Unit
Test is... a test. In one place I worked, I was the "unit" that was going to do the testing.

Well, that way it was easy to answer to the common question, whodunit?

I recall Uncle Bob saying the term "unit" is unfortunate as some might look at classes as units.
Some might even look at every method as a unit even non-public ones (in the pursuit of 100% coverage maybe?).
At my workplace, we define a "unit" as a behavior. It might be one method, or one method using several auxiliary methods or even one class depends on its size and usage.

The best developers test their units often.
Unit Testing is the testing of a unit -- often one library function.
Integration testing is testing to be sure the newly changed unit works within a larger unit.
Regression testing is testing performed in production.

If I can put the code in a library, the tests against that code are unit tests. (If not, they are "wishful thinking" tests. )

IMO if you're going to split tests into different buckets, arguing unit vs integration vs etc as people with too much time on their hands do the useful distinction is how fast they execute and where/when they're run.
Unless you're building a huge system using all of these buckets are probably excessive but:
0) Fast enough to run on each developer build.
1) ... on the developers machine before committing.
2) ... by the CI server after commit but before merging.
3) ... by the CI server less frequently (hourly? daily? weekly?) on the CI server and potentially limited to major branches (eg alpha, beta, release)
