  • These are some very wise words.

  • Good girl :3

  • Damn one Sperling error always has to slip into my memes.

  • Testing means, that you dont trust your coding abilities. Dont be a pussy and dont test your code /s

  • From what I understand the difference between how I code and what has Ben described as TDD in this thread is, that I set up everything first and then try to think of ways people could break the code and then test these vases/try to prevent them.

  • I usually do it thenother way around

  • Its relatively easy. First of all if someone would implement a backdoor its much easier to find out, since you can look at the code directly. Second is, that a lot of people actually do this. Looking at the code of projects and searching for ways to find security holes in it.

    So even if it isn't that much more secure than closed source, its much easier to trust simply because people can search for vulnerabilities much easier.

    One great example of why open source code is easier to realise backdoors would be the xz Security breach.

  • That one is always nice when you actually do the cleanup and then have much less files to care about.

  • Yeah of course I Am testing. I Am usually just not writing very extensive tests. I try to break it as much as possible with as little effort and try then to prevent it from breaking.

  • Ah thanks. That sounds like not that bad of an idea, but for the scale that my projects are at thus is quite an overkill. I usually try if it works in The best case sz scenario and then try to deliberately break it by calling certain functions with garbage as parameters.

  • What is TDD?

  • The thing with online dating is, that you never even reach the stage of actually going on a date.

  • Depends on what you used to do with your PC. If you are used to writing power shell scripts for doing stuff on your PC, it might take a bit longer to adapt to Linux. If you mainly used GUIs to do small stuff it is much easier to adapt.

    So in conclusion yes, as long as the non Power user has some technical knowledge and doesn't get scared away, if the UI looks slightly different.

  • While This is true, AS long AS you weren't a Windows power User and stick to Distros like Mint with cinnamon The experience will be almost the same and you dont have to relearn that much.

  • Why the fuck does he have 2 Laptops and 2 additional monitors? It would annoy the hell out of me having to reach out to change something on one of the laptops.

  • Water is the only renewable energy source that isn't that much more complicated than coal.

  • The difference between you and the described "fool" is, that you are not inherently proud of your nation, but more like what you as a nation have accomplished (at least that's what I interpreted from your words). The patriotic fool on the other hand is proud of much more stupid things he had nothing to do with. He takes pride in his language, the culture, his own town simply because he was born into it. The fool wants to stop all influences from outside, that may change the thing he takes pride in. He sees the world as a constant static structure that evolved and that should not be changed, ignoring that constant change just made things like culture the way they are.

    You on the other hand said, that you take pride for your nation having a high standard of living, a good social system and such stuff. All of these have been earned through constant fight and you can be proud of winning this fight. You are also able to see flaws in the current system and want stuff to change.

  • It absolutely sounds like a reference to the xkcd.

  • I search by genres or artists. This means, that I usually hop on YouTube, and start looking if any of the artists I like released new stuff and if I come across a new one I look what stuff they have that I like.
