The common problem with Minecraft server implementations is that they are not bug-for-bug compatible, which will lead to certain techniques (especially redstone contraptions) breaking. The technical Minecraft community depends on many implementation details which not all servers support

I'm not from Britain, but we used to craft with chestnuts. We always used a small hand drill (Wikipedia tells me it's called a gimlet). I assume it's the same in Britain

Sure, but neither my laptop nor my switch (the devices I'd reasonably use with Wi-Fi) support 5G or mobile internet at all

Last time I looked into this, there were no (cheap) providers that allow you to permanently reside in another country

That sounds counter-intuitive? I doubt most people take the time to rinse everything off with clear water. Dishwashers on the other hand always have a rinsing step

It's not possible. Type 1 diabetes stops the production of insulin, which is generally required for survival.

The letter makes points that the trademark is already abandoned. I'm not familiar with trademark laws, but if the trademark is already abandoned, why the need for the letter?

If Google tracks me at work, it just saves "work" as the location. How do I know? Well, my workplace has since moved, but timelines before the move now show me go to the old location, then suddenly teleport me to the new one.

I don't want to be mean, instead I want to learn how such an announcement can be done better.

On my screen, the very first line (third sentence, but the first two are pretty short):

> COSMIC, our new desktop environment for Pop!_OS and other Linux distros

After that, a link to the very page you linked. What more should a release post do?

You are downvoted, but from my experience, you are pretty correct. Most people I know will use a streaming site, then sharehosters (good old boerse comes to mind - Megaupload, Rapidshare and Uploaded were the big hosters I remember)

I even know of more people using Usenet then torrents! The amount of work to use torrents safely just isn't worth it for most people.

In German, "tippen" is a possible translation of "to guess". There's a well-known tradition of friendly betting on football matches with colleagues or friends (sometimes with money on the line, often not). These are called "Tippspiel" or "betting games".

The android app has supported dark mode for years and images have always been broken. I hope it can be fixed, but except "make every transparent image have a white background" I don't know a good solution

It's explicitly called a "cli tool", not very ambiguous imo

The original L4 (I believe) wasn't commercially available und sel4 is GPL licensed. Minix has a BSD license, so maybe that's why

The case in question is about a patent registered in the European Patent Office, which is headquartered in Munich

As a Java (mostly Spring) dev, I use mocks a lot to separate different components from each other, if I only want to test one of them. If your code only contains tests that mock other things, you're missing something, as others have pointed out. But just because you have a good coverage of integration testing, doesn't mean that writing isolated unit tests are bad. I find it much easier to diagnose a problem in a tight unit test than in a integration test that covers half the project.

Some criticism to the article:

The "more unit testing" section reminds me of junior devs asking why they can't test private methods in Java. If I'm testing a unit, I want to test the contract it promises (in this case, a method that does some checks and then sends something). That the behavior is split between multiple methods is an implementation detail, and writing tests around that makes changes harder (now I can't refactor the methods without also having to update the tests, even if the contract doesn't change) and it doesn't even test the contract! (There's nothing that makes sure that the mail is actually sent - we could be testing methods that aren't used by anything but the test code)

For the "easier to test IO" section: just don't. Your tests now depend on some in-memory implementation that will behave differently than the real thing. That's just mocking with extra steps, you still don't know whether your application will work. If you want to do io, do the real io

"Separation of logic and IO": this is in general the right thing to do, but the way it's described is weird. First, it does the same as in the "more unit testing" section with the same problems. Then, the code is refactored until it's barely understandable and the article even admits it with the Greenspan quote. In the end, the production code is worse, just to ... Not test whether there's actually some code doing the IO.

I actually think there are some good ideas in there: separating the logic from the IO (and treating them as separate units) is important, not just for better testability, but also for easier refactoring and (if done with care) to be easier to reason about. In the end, you will need both unit and integration tests (and if your system is large enough, e2e tests). Whether you're using mocks for your unit tests or not, doesn't make much of a difference in the grand picture.

Just don't mock stuff in integration or e2e if you absolutely can't prevent it.

Let's face it, Gainax was only an empty shell of its former glory. Most of the "important" people left for Khara and Trigger and Gainax has done nothing of importance for more than ten years or so?

Also, financial troubles is probably the most Gainax thing possible

I believe you can't "reset" a TPM, but you can buy a new one (if your CPU does not support fTPM). Or buy a new PC I guess. Both solutions are costly though, depending on how often the cheat is found.

The meter is defined by the speed of light in a vacuum, that doesn't change on the moon

> systemd and libsystemd is an absolute mess

how? Because they link against a third-party library?

> is there a dependency graph that would show how many programs use a specific utility library

Agree, important topic

> is there a dependency graph that would show how many programs use a specific utility library

Depends on the distro, but your package manager should be able to do that. On a global scale, that's likely impossible, because there's no true register of how programs are linked - in fact, the inclusion of libsystemd was distro-specific

If you have already have all the clips you want to use, Avenue is fine. If you want to generate videos and effects, Wire is what you're looking for.

Congrats! The game is quite hard because there might be multiple correct solutions, but only one gets accepted. But I understand that this is a limitation of the game, maybe adding something like "Correct, but we're looking for something else" would be nice.

Two suggestion for improvements:

- Add a skip button. If I don't have a clue which film it might be, I need to write some nonsense answer to get a clue, a skip button would be nicer. - Play the song immediately when I click the play button. I was wondering why it doesn't start, even though I clicked the Play button!

Sidenote: I spoiled myself because Imagus showed me the movie pictures in the archive ;) Not your fault of course, but I found it funny

I edited the title to better reflect the actual content, as the automatic translation isn't the best

To some (many?) people, even including LGBTQ characters is an idiological topic in itself.

Now I know why my wifes insulin pump's (Medtronic) Android app doesn't support setting the bolus and only allows observation :D

It's likely better that way. If the app would allow this, I'd already decompiled the app and tried to reverse engineer the protocol to allow her to set a bolus when she's wearing something that makes it hard to access the pump or carry her phone with her (like a dress). Setting the bolus via e.g. a smartwatch would be really nice, but I'd be very afraid of creating a life-threatening bug.

Re-encoding is probably too expensive. And storing the same variant for everyone would effectively double the storage requirement (for ad-free users) and will be quickly defeated with Sponsorblock

It's also possible that it's related to your blackberry not having the most up-to-date root certificates.

"Open" for the cheap price of ~$230

Well, Germany has already shut down 3G two years ago, and LTE is just too new, you know? /s

My wife just had to replace her phone because of that. Apps generally don't accept user certificates and the first apps stopped working because Google cloud (or something related) updated to a newer certificate
