True | cdsmith | null | Definitely, but the point I got from this article was that it's the *way* people are doing testing that doesn't scale. When you're doing BDD, those tests aren't really there to improve reliability or catch bugs; they are an artifact of your development methodology, and you've chosen to keep them around because *some* of them are useful for catching bugs as a *side* *effect*, and you just act as if there's no cost to it. But tests aren't free; and when people are noting the cost even in *execution* *time* of all things, you know they are costing the development process too much elsewhere, too, by increasing the number of places you need to make your changes. So the question raised here is: just because a test was useful to write as part of a BDD development process, is it worth the cost of keeping around?
So the argument this ought to be making is that whatever form you first write your tests in, they need maintenance and design work, too. Just like any other software, if you can break down the testing task into logical components, avoid duplication, and state significant properties that ought to hold rather than focus on a bunch of implementation details, then you'll be able to significantly reduce the size of your testing code base. But many people don't even have a step in their development process where they decide whether it's worth the cost to keep that code around; it's just assumed that if you wrote a test during BDD, it should become a permanent part of the test suite. | null | 0 | 1316618562 | False | 0 | c2li540 | t3_klypn | null | t1_c2li540 | t1_c2lhehm | null | 1427628335 | 8 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
True | frezik | null | What's happening between the mobile manufacturers right now isn't so much patent trolling as it is being forced to play a game that nobody likes. If my company chooses to opt-out of this silly game, I'll get buried in patent lawsuits from my competitors. I have to produce patents, even frivolous ones, so that I can counter-sue and end up with an out of court settlement that cross-licenses the patents. The current lawsuits amongst mobile companies will no doubt end in that sort of stalemate.
The effect is as if there were no patent system at all, except that there is no chance for emerging players with no existing patents to gain ground in the market. Also, companies can't defend themselves much against patent trolls, since they aren't interested in cross-licensing anything.
It would be in everybody's best interest if this game didn't have to be played, but they have to play with the system as it is. This is why companies like Google still gather patents while also advocating for reform. | null | 0 | 1316618628 | False | 0 | c2li5fo | t3_klqte | null | t1_c2li5fo | t1_c2ldseg | null | 1427628341 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | max99x | null | Most esoteric languages are fairly easy to implement or port. The more serious ones (Perl, PHP, Prolog and so on) will generally require working with Emscripten, which does require a bit more effort. There're also a few languages with existing JS interpreters that should be easy to integrate: https://github.com/replit/jsrepl/issues/34. We couldn't fit them in our target categories for release, but would still love to support them.
If you do end up implementing one of those, or simply need some info about the API (we still have no real docs), open an issue on GitHub and we'll try to get back to you ASAP. | null | 0 | 1316618922 | False | 0 | c2li6tq | t3_klv3o | null | t1_c2li6tq | t1_c2lh9nk | null | 1427628359 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | [deleted] | null | > However, I'll raise one more point. Why treat dotfiles specially? Why not hyphenfiles too? Why treat any files specially at all? You are trying to use part of the file name as metadata. File extensions are bad enough already; a Good system design shouldn't rely on hacks such as "if part of the name says... then it's...".
The dot is just an easy way to say that you don't want to see something. The dot as a convention probably came from a time when filesystems were simple and they didn't have metadata to handle something like being "hidden". This is speculation (so feel free to correct me if I am wrong) but I would be surprised if that were not the case.
Like I say, the hidden file is a convenience many people take advantage of. That's why they should be treated specially -- it makes things more convenient for the end user.
> It says "Permission denied". But I know what you're trying to argue. UNIX deletes files when I tell it to, just like my phone will call my mother-in-law at 4 AM if I dial her number by that time, and my knife will cut my finger if I force it to.
Exactly! And that's how it should be. The bigger point I was making there is that Unix will not protect you from your own stupidity. Just like deleting a file without knowing what it does is stupid, so is trying to use a shell feature (like a *) without realizing exactly what it does, which is globbing non-dotfiles.
I'm well aware of the Windows stuff, and I've been frustrated by it time and time again. I tried to move my home to a different drive on my desktop and I had to boot from a Windows disc to do it. Pathetic.

True | cashto | null | It's an interesting training technique. It's true that every line of code should be there for a reason. I bristle at "defensive" code that adds complexity without really adding any robustness. If you're not clever enough to avoid the bug then you're not clever enough to adequately defend against it.
But every comment should be there for a reason too. I.e., without it, the code could not be understood. Ideally all code is obvious -- in practice, that's not always true, but it's the ideal. And there's never any benefit belaboring the obvious.
Honestly sometimes negative comments are signposts where the code could be improved. I.e. whenever I see: "If we do not frob the foo variable, then ten minutes later when Zork() is called, the bar value will not be properly updated by Quux::UpdateBarCache(), four stack frames in" ...

True | cogman10 | null | Well, it is more the direction that GPLv3 goes. With GPLv2, commercial software working with GPLed software was ok. GPLv3 makes this harder. It was a move to try and force commercial software developers to opensource their software that works with GPLed tools.
This can be viewed as a sign of things to come.

Either you're part of the HPC cluster culture where spending a couple of days doing mechanical program transformations by hand for a 20% speedup on a single kernel seems reasonable or you're underestimating the difficulty here.
Bacon does value specialization (commonly called "partial evaluation" for static runtimes). The most impressive benefit of this is that if you pass it an array of size N and a loop over that array (0..N), it can unroll that loop for you automatically. If N is small enough, it will unroll the loop completely.
This is the sort of transformation that you *could* do by hand, but you wouldn't want to unless you're one of those crazy HPC cluster people.
> The OpenCL overhead for initialization, resource management, etc. starts to be insignificant for anything but trivial programs.
It can take longer to write the interface than the kernel itself for some interesting kernels, so I think Bacon is useful even as a wrapper-generator to save time.
> I'd like to rather not depend on some wrapper, if possible.
I have the same tendency, but there's always a threshold where it's easier to use the tool than manually simulate the tool.
Also, Bacon outputs OpenCL code so it's always possible to prototype with Bacon and remove it later (if you don't want to change the shape of your input data). | null | 0 | 1316621787 | False | 0 | c2likyh | t3_kltgu | null | t1_c2likyh | t1_c2lfg44 | null | 1427628543 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Neither. When I get a feature request I spend time to actually design the features. This may include one or more of the following:
* comps (hand drawn, photoshop, or in mocked in code)
* use cases
* data flow charts
* decision flow charts
* functional specifications
* technical specifications
* test cases (manual and/or automated)
From what I can tell BDD is just the act of obessesly focusing on one design technique with no thought given to the overall process. In this it reminds me of how unit testing proponents completely ignore all other forms of manual and automated services.

GPL license is voluntary, no doubt.
But what if, in hypothetical RMS ideal world, practically all infrastructure library are infected by GPL license. How far can you develop something useful that has to interact with those system without also becoming GPLed? Keep in mind that in that GPL ideal world, developing application without touching GPL ever is as voluntary as living and raising a family without using money.

True | i8beef | null | I could see the tablet being used as a regular input device replacement for a keyboard and mouse, e.g. it's a keyboard when typing, and a Wacom tablet when using it as a mouse, which would work great given (a) it's wireless and (b) you could use it as a secondary display for information (e.g. REALLY drawing with a Wacom tablet).
However, using a MONITOR as a touch screen I think is going to flop ultimately. It's an ergonomic issue first off that will be uncomfortable to use. Second, it's inefficient as a primary means of input (keyboard and mouse still rule here, especially for precision). And finally, I'm not really trying to say I WANT anything different. Different input mechanisms are fine, but to bet the whole farm on it by trying to force people into this new control paradigm that just isn't efficient for everything (whereas a keyboard and mouse still ARE more efficient for everything), I think is a mistake.
But all that said, I was really just implying in a comical way that I would not want to have fingerprints all over my monitor all the time. That's all.
