I'm not throwing an exception though, I'm talking about like a simple nullreferenceexception in the code, or something similar.

Edit: I got it.

I just recently began practicing TDD... my only problem so far: >1. We spend less time debugging.

I often spend more time debugging. I mainly work with C#, and in Visual Studio (2012) when I try to debug unit tests, it fails at the Assert when the call in the Assert throws an exception... It won't tell me where the exception was thrown in the actual code. Is there a simple way around this that I'm missing?

Edit: It seems to be working now, not sure why it was not doing what I expected before.

I understand the difference, yet the term "Secure FTP" is most often used to refer to SFTP and not FTPS, in my experience.

From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol#Secure_F...) "The SSH file transfer protocol or secure FTP (SFTP)..."

Multiple google searches also yielded similar language.

300 million monthly active users... what a dead product.

>Nothing is wrong with charging for add-ons, such as vector drawing and tweening libraries, but it sets the standard for others to charge for their code and is the complete opposite of the realm of the open Web, which everybody is trying to push forward.

I don't like it when companies complain about having to pay for code, assets, etc. Not everything should be open source, not everything should be free, sometimes people should be able to be paid for the work that they do for your benefit.

I realize the article didn't say SFTP, but that couldn't be gathered from "secure FTP," as that's precisely what SFTP means?

>Why would you write this in response to an article that begins with a photo illustration of two African Americans.

That photo is of the CEO and the lead designer of the company... it isn't even of the developers hired. His comment likely didn't have anything to do with race unless you put an emphasis on it.

The reasons given in this article are fairly nonsensical. He states that if he upgraded all of the windows desktops now, he'd have to do the same thing again in 4 years, yet if he had upgraded all of the desktops 4 years ago, why don't they have Windows 7 on them? It was released in 2009. Also noted is the switch from a desktop to a laptop making people more mobile - really?

The grammar in this makes it nigh unreadable...

After all the NSA leaks and then Heartbleed, being anonymous anywhere really seems like a pipe dream to me.

>Do they let plumbers operate on patients because it's now much safer? Not where I live, the laws are pretty strict with respect to who can practice medicine.

But there aren't laws that determine who can program...

>If you want safety, stop thinking in terms of blame and vengeance and design systems that avoid errors, and reduce their impact if they occur. This includes culture, processes and tools to protect against errors by those who do the work, and some regulation to stop management from putting employees in situations where they are likely to cause harm.

There obviously already are systems that are designed to avoid errors... Unit testing, static code analysis, automatic formatting, etc.

The author of the article said to throw all those out and put all of the safeguards into the language spec. OP is just saying that they don't belong there.

Who on earth would ever format code like that?

Funny that the article links to http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2600319/Medicare-dat... which references the top paid doctors by medicare... I read an article last week saying that this data would be misinterpreted, as a lot of the "top paid" doctors actually are just like whole departments using the lead physician's billing code, and they don't actually get any of that money - and here we are.

The 110,000 computers bit was the only bit that mattered.

Do you live in a world where linux just magically upgrades itself on 110,000 computers for free?

I like how he says he reads legalese every day, and then puts this in there:

>"...Vibe Vault’s store listing did not 'not use irrelevant, misleading, or excessive keywords in apps descriptions, titles, or metadata.'..."

With a double negative implying that it did break the policy. Hope he doesn't write legalese every day as well.

It was a joke in reference to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7555012

The redesigns probably changed the color of the shift button.

Candidates have the power to push for changes in legislation... if this candidate had changed legislation in support of any of his views on gay rights, how would it be any different than what donating to Prop 8 achieved?

>"...Cannon 'has a special kind of hate for gays' and opposed employment protections, adoptions by same-sex couples, abortion, and voting rights while backing the state's constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage."

How is supporting someone with views like that, who would then be in a position to change legislation (or not) to support his views better than supporting Prop 8?

Also, if it's not let go due to an apology, why are you giving a reason for letting it go that was straight from the guy's apology?

Seriously.

I saw it mentioned that Eich should step down, because if he didn't, people might not want to work there. But personally, after this, I wouldn't want to work for Mozilla, knowing that a sizeable portion of employees were unwilling to work for someone that had a different viewpoint than their own on a single topic. Just imagine if people treated each other this way within the company. It just seems petty to me.

That's precisely the point - people are portraying Eich as being against gays because he doesn't support gay marriage, which is a logical fallacy.

>being the public-facing CEO of a non-profit

He was the CEO of the for-profit Mozilla Corporation, not a non-profit.

I keep hearing people saying that gay marriage is more than just a political view, but so is every other political view.

Don't support welfare? You're against poor people. Support welfare? You're against the working man. You're pro-choice? You're against babies. You're pro-life? You're against women.

Pretty much every political stance can be viewed in the same fashion as people are viewing Eich's. The thing is, Eich has been at the company for 15 years; if he wanted to discriminate against gay people in the workplace, it could have been done already - he's a co-founder, don't you think he had some input towards the policies in place? And if it has been done already, I haven't heard of it, but I would fully support trying to get him to step down. The thing is, it probably hasn't been done, which would mean he has done nothing wrong in my opinion.

They haven't taken public actions that indicate that they come down in favor of gay marriage, just that they come down in opposition of Brendan Eich.

Was it a political view in 2008?

>I think there is some anger over how Brendan Eich responded; which is not directly admitting to anything.

There's nothing to admit though, he didn't commit a crime, he gave money to an organization. What is there to admit?

Garnering the intent through no actual evidence... wonder how it would be if he had made a bigger donation - worse that way as well?

Isn't this how pretty much everyone builds pretty much everything? I didn't know there was a way to build web applications without knowing what data they're based on...
