The last thing to do is adding a bunch of pro-SJW topics and you got another Verge/Vox/Polygon.


They already did that when they went anti-GG and started taking cues from people like Brianna Wu. That was the start of the decline for them.


Anti-GG is a good thing in my book.


How so?


You will not find someone neutral and middle-aged enough here. Also quite boring to read the whole thing.


It helps when you don't have an ads business branch.


Apple did until last year though.


...which failed due to their strict privacy rules making the ads less effective than advertisers wanted.


(yet)



Always puts a smile on my face when a smart person gets the money he deserves!

Up to him whether to marry and get divorced! Jokes aside in 2017 I should use he/she/they/it and I am just not brain damaged enough to do that every time.


Are you saying she deserves less money than he does?


Are you immortal or do you have a time machine? New people with new opinions mature every day. Pay gap was debunked long ago yet the dead horse gets beaten every month.


Rifle is the new pistol? You can shoot yourself with both?


No offence, but you work in a bubble of sorts. In enterprise we are absolutely expected to run against a wall - preferably fast.


The bubble happens to be at the bottom of everything everyone runs. If we--or kernel folks for that matter--applied the advice of the article to our development practices, our system meltdown would be your system meltdown.

Sure, you have requirements from management. So do architects and engineers for building bridges. Yet they still have a duty to build bridges that don't fall down.


OK, so don't then. You are still in a bubble, important or otherwise. You can't expect me to throw out the service manual for my old Volvo because NASA wouldn't build a space probe to those standards.


Are you suggesting that the Linux kernel is unit tested? Last I checked, I couldn't find them. And discussions online say the same (e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9543336 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9544306). Kernel bugs tend to show up in userspace.

Fortunately, integration-oriented projects have arisen more recently such as https://kernelci.org/ and https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/

Anyhow, it would make me a bit sad if the v8 team is writing unit tests tightly coupled to the implementation. I've messed around with the codebase and I didn't see tests like that - could you point to some?



The ones I glanced at appear to test output without much mocking, which isn't as tightly coupled as unit tests commonly end up.


Running against the wall in the enterprise is what management expect but in my experience it’s down to developers “holding their nerve” to use the proper process (unit tests, PRs etc).

It’s not even necessarily experience because I see the experienced devs do this all the time. But your good developer will know that when the feature is so important that it needs “rushing”, aka straight to prod or, skip QA etc then that’s exactly the time to stand firm and write those unit tests instead of throwing crap over the wall and making it next weeks defect.


Enterprise software being known for its code quality.


I find a lot of enterprises follow TDD.


Oh yeah, some are extremely vulnerable to predatory TDD evangelists. You won't find many functional programming ones though.


More interested in no pensions but 3 day work weeks and 2 months vacation.


Silicon Valley already has blood boys.


The show or the city?


1. Promote.

2. Convert 20% into assets at the peak.

3. Hide in Uruguay.


You don't even need to hide anywhere. Since there is no regulations on pre-mines themselves, only ICOs, you could do a pre-mine in the US and be 100% fine as long as you paid the capital gains tax.

IANAL, so take this with a grain of salt.

Meanwhile, I'm holding out for the day ETH crashes, ICOs end, and pumpers go back to using Litecoin forks. I'm just sitting here with a GTX 1060 ready to mine some scamcoins for lulz.


You get good XMR hash rate with that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nErHc5OvjkI


Hide somewhere warmer, cheaper, safer, and saner. Source: born and raised in Uruguay.
