Well, we had Windows 10 for over 5 years before Windows 11. 10 was supposedly the last version they were doing, so it’s a little surprising they’re back to regular major releases now.

I’d never heard of mutation testing before either, and it seems really interesting. It reminds me of fuzzing, except for the code instead of the input. Maybe a little impractical for some codebases with long build times though. Still, I’ll have to give it a try for a future project. It looks like there’s several tools for mutation testing C/C++.

The most useful tests I write are generally regression tests. Every time I find a bug, I’ll replicate it in a test case, then fix the bug. I think this is just basic Test-Driven-Development practice, but it’s very useful to verify that your tests actually fail when they should. Mutation/Pit testing seems like it addresses that nicely.

Honestly the more I read about all the things wrong with that submarine, the more I think the CEO Stockton Rush deserves a Darwin Award. (Though maybe he’d be disqualified due to age or already having kids?)

Looking at the /robots.txt file on a few different instances, there’s nothing preventing Google or any other web crawlers from indexing Lemmy. I was even able to find some posts by searching site:lemmy.ml.

I think part of it is that all the separate instances make for bad SEO. And there just isn’t enough content here yet to compete with Reddit and other search rankings. Hopefully it’ll keep growing and eventually take over.

Same… I don’t understand what half of this even is saying. How is a garden hose a curfew? Parents turning off the water to let you know to come inside? If anything curfews themselves are more of a 90s thing because your parents couldn’t just call or text you to come home. I was always out on my bike exploring the neighborhood with my friends, with my only instructions “Be back by 6”.

Elliot really is the kind of guy who would have all those numbers memorized and be able instantly recite them.

Ticketmaster must have been involved in the processing.

I don’t understand why getting rid of private insurance keeps being brought up. Afaik none of the proposed laws would remove it. The point should be that the universal healthcare is good enough you don’t need private insurance.

In Canada there is provincial healthcare that everyone gets for free, and many people still have supplemental insurance (private or employer provided) to expand coverage for things like prescriptions, eye, and dental.

Got any source for that? That’s in pretty stark contrast to what I see him doing now with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

This transcription has more information than the actual image. Well done, I had no clue who these people were.
