Do you think TDD is overrated, or do you use it regularly in your development?

springcomp,

@devleader TDD for the win! I Absolutely cannot "design" and write software without applying TDD.

another day of having to explain (this time, to conference organizers) why, even though I have a VAT number, can make tax-deductible purchases, and pay a lot (a LOT) of taxes, I don't have a "company" and I can't afford their "business tickets"

(my statut juridique is "entreprise individuelle", which is confusing enough in France, and even more abroad)

springcomp,

@patriksvensson @fasterthanlime

I must misunderstand your confusion. To me you can either:

  • Purchase the service at the business-tier price with your corporate card
  • Or you pay as a private citizen at the lower tier with your own money and ask for a receipt. You will then be able to have the company refund the price to yourself.

But you cannot take any shortcuts here unfortunately. Please forgive me if I’m missing something.

springcomp,

@patriksvensson @fasterthanlime

Oh I think I’m mistaking your situation. You are right indeed.

I’m confusing your explanation with that of the owner of a "société par actions simplifiée unipersonnelle (SASU)" which is indeed, different.

J’envisage sérieusement d’abandonner Mastodon.

Le ratio de conseils non-sollicités, de monsieurs je-sais-tout, et d’extrémistes donneurs de leçons qui prétendent régenter comment les autres doivent utiliser la plateforme, est beaucoup trop défavorable.

Il suffit d’ailleurs de voir certaines réponses à ce post pour constater la prévalence de ces comportements toxiques.

springcomp,

@o_simardcasanova je pense que ça dépend vraiment des instances, chacune ayant ses règles qui lui sont propres.

En dépit de ça, j'espère que vous n'êtes pas en train de démontrer que, finalement, les comportements sur les réseaux sont... Les comportements humains.

springcomp,

@o_simardcasanova cet article parle du mansplaining que je range volontiers dans l'arsenal des comportements toxiques.

Je suis curieux de savoir comment Bluesky ou Threads arrive à ne pas voir perpétuer ces comportements sur leur plateforme. Je vais me renseigner.

Is there something related to PGP on the roadmap ?

springcomp,

C'est la difficile équation personnelle qu'ont à résoudre les gens dont le métier dépend de la plateforme.

Un récent article à montré cette semaine –dans le cas de NPR la chaîne d'information américaine – que quitter Twitter n'a pas provoqué une chute d'audience.

C'est pourquoi, je suis de l'avis de @tshirtman.

@tristao je vous suivais sur Twitter et regrette de ne plus bénéficier de vos analyses et informations que vous pourriez partager sur Mastodon. 🙏

Using an Android phone for the first time in many years, and mostly liking it a lot, especially the hardware (Samsung Flip 5). But: One of the reasons I switched to iPhone was the camera was so much better. Dramatically so. The old Android phones chose odd color balances and, most important, the images were just rife with JPEG artifacts and severe ringing on all the edges. 1/3

springcomp,

@robpike the camera might be slightly better. However, it's the post-processing software that makes all the difference.

In fact, having multiple cameras is a clear sign that post processing software is involved.

Google has released Chrome 117, introducing a major interface revamp for desktop users, a redesigned Chrome Web Store, and expanded privacy features. The update also includes a new settings symbol for connection security and expanded tab group functionality: https://alternativeto.net/news/2023/9/google-chrome-117-rolls-out-with-major-ui-overhaul-and-enhanced-privacy-features/

Hm, dose booster bivalente covid vendredi, et là je suis complètement HS, avec une légère toux, pas d'énergie pour sortir acheter un test, du coup je spécule, covid ou effet du vaccin bien plus violent que par le passé?

Les comptes Twitter de Drama/Clash qui viennent en 2023 sur Mastodon me mettent mal à l'aise.

Ils me font penser a ce gars que personne ne connais qui s'incruste a ta soirée, critique la déco, veux changer la musique, provoque tes amis en parlant fort, et puis s'offusque qu'on est pas sympas de leur demander de se calmer.

Ne laissons pas les comportements toxiques de Twitter venir se réfugier ici.

springcomp,

@HygieneMentale au-delà des enjeux très intéressants que cette question de masquage ou blocage soulève, je pense respectueusement que qualifier le compte de Mendax de "compte de drama" est une caricature.

Anyone have examples of "choose your own adventure" set up instructions (and ideally) troubleshooting? For anything, not just .

https://nedbatchelder.com/blog/202307/untangle_your_own_adventure.html

springcomp,

@nedbat I think the Python community should invest in a good unified CLI.

Something like Rust's cargo command or go or dotnet or npm...

Something that allows to quicky setup opinionated projects with reasonable defaults, that includes a build system, a package and dependencies manager, a unit-test runner, etc.

I think this would greatly simplify onboarding programmers new to the language.

  1. This is really, really cool: https://scrimba.com/scrim/c9g7ZKT3
  2. I want something just like it in Jupyter notebooks and IDEs.
  3. I really wish the tooling behind it was open source—I've been burned by "you can only use it with a free account but oops we've been acquired and our terms of service have changed" too many times to invest.
  4. But damn, the stuff Scrimba is building really is very cool.
springcomp,

@gvwilson not as slick but I like the Code Tour extension that runs in VS Code. It allows to walk through parts of the code with extensive documentation.

It's already open source so maybe less at a risk 🤔

Actually, Internet Explorer 6 was once 97% of the browser market. That’s right, 97%—they had the browser market locked down!

If ever there was a situation where “embrace, extend, extinguish” (EEE) should have worked, it was with the open web.

Yet Microsoft failed. Why is that?

First, while Microsoft initially was installed by default on every Mac, they had neglected the Mac version of Internet Explorer. So Apple took action and made their own browser—Safari. They shipped this in 2003.

But also, Microsoft refused to build a version of Internet Explorer for Linux. This forced Linux advocates to build their own web browser engines, most prominently KHTML. Apple forked KHTML into WebKit, which was then used as Safari’s browser engine.

Thereafter Netscape rose from the ashes as Mozilla, released Firefox. And Firefox not only caused tabs to go mainstream, but also extensions too.

And where was Microsoft while all this was happening? Resting on their laurels, content with the belief that EEE would work. They never improved IE6. As all the other browsers came out, IE6 looked more and more worse.

But still, they had the corporations using it, so there was no fire in Microsoft to improve IE6.

The final nail in the coffin was Chrome. Corporations were willing to make the leap to Chrome because Google built backwards compatibility for IE6 with Chrome.

Microsoft tried to recover with subsequent versions of Internet Explorer. But they eventually discontinued it and released a new browser called Edge.

Nevertheless, Microsoft never achieved browser dominance again even with installing edge as the default browser on Windows.

Microsoft failed to the open web. It wasn’t the open web that was extinguished. It was Internet Explorer.

springcomp,

@jens @atomicpoet I completely agree.

Google killed email and it is now impossible to build a mail server as a hobbyist : all emails end up as spam. And there nothing you can do.

Google kills alternative and arguably better image formats.

I think DNS is a threat but I'm less knowledgeable here.

Very sneaky, but it is happening.

springcomp,

@jens @jens @atomicpoet

We had this conversation a few months back and, once again, emails coming from my own servers are suddenly rejected by Microsoft.

This is an all new setup from scratch for which I believed to have made all the right voodoo incantations 😥.

I would really appreciate some pointers to build that prior knowledge and be able to solve this problem with confidence. 🙏

springcomp,

@jens

The message I get is so simple and also so frustrating:

« 550 5.7.1 Unfortunately, messages from [IP.IP.IP.IP] weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list (S3150). »

I at a loss my server should be put on a blocklist.

springcomp,

@jens

Thanks for any pointers.

Indeed it seems that I have been blocked. More specifically, it seems my domain is "throttled" rather than outright blocked.

You help was really appreciated.
Sincerely.

My Chrome has just updated and is now offering me some "Ads Privacy" options.

What they tell me is how f-ing invasive the Ad web is.

Why would I want one site to tell another what I'm interested in ? No Gossiping behind my back !

And no Google I don't want to help measure the effectiveness of ads since effectiveness is a synonym of making me do something I didn't intend to.

The Googlers obviously think this s**t is normal - am I alone in thinking they have lost their minds?

springcomp,

@steely_glint @allenstenhaus I'm using Murena - formerly known as e/OS. It's quite good as it offers a completely de-Googled phone. Good thing is they offer complete control over location - you can prevent apps to access location or appear in a plausible but fictitious location. Same for IP address. They offer complete control over the trackers from each app.

Now there are some catches.

The government of « la patrie des droits de l'homme » is speeding up its move to autocracy.

After the repeated application of Article 49.3, threatening to remove civil society organizations 1, passing laws to allow algorithmic surveillance “for the Paris 2024 Olympics” 2, using a motorized repression brigade (BRAV-M) to beat down protesters 3 ...

springcomp,

@fj the speech is very serious in its message but is hilarious in its form. Many subtle words related to the subject at hand.

On a serious note, I hope this law can be defeated.
