I write unit tests and test my own code, but we also have UAT tests that are completed by others independently. Complex systems with lots of moving parts require lots of testing.

You’ll have to keep us updated!

I’m a dev and I hate releasing buggy code but I’m not in charge of testing or the amount of testing we do before release.

Before Art Attack and on the rival channel was Tony Hart and Heartbeat. Possibly a bit of an in-joke too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartbeat

I’m interested to see how EU will measure battery life, I’m guessing some standard stress testing software perhaps?

That’s a cool idea to reward all those people who have to work holidays

For me Philips Fidelio X2HR work great. They’re open back and neutral sounding so work well for FPS. However they have neither wireless or noise cancelling.

…you’ll find the red for pubic hair.

I completely agree and I was wondering if I could just view it via an archive link. However I think it’s really important to try and understand how other people think or are influenced. Ignoring them sadly won’t make it go away.

Off topic, but that domain name sure is misleading!

Trump’s put tariffs on everyone else, he needs someone to trade with

Now that is interesting to know!

I was just reading a review of jackets where the praise the goretex brand. Though I guess there’s new technology from gotetex

I thought emacs was all about ctrl + ?.

I use vim, but considered emacs. I thought the plugins like organisers and such seemed a cool idea.

Interesting, I didn’t know that about VSCode.I’ve used it briefly and I must have always installed some default plugins to make it work with python!

The only query I’d have on that definition of IDE is that they all require an external compiler or JIT interpreter to execute code, because the versions of the compilers changes so frequently it’d be crazy to release an ‘all included’ IDE. (The old MS Visual Basic is an example of ‘all included’)

But yeah, pycharm or phpstorm are “ready to run” bar the code compiler or interpreter, I don’t have to open a terminal or something to run code I’ve written.

Vim and emacs usually run in the terminal and require keyboard commands to complete actions.

A GUI IDE like vscode or pycharm has mouse driven menus and buttons, although of course it’s possible to use keyboard commands.

That to me is the difference. Personally, I use vim mod with pycharm and some messy hybrid combination of vim commands and ctrl + ?

District heating.

What do they do?

Yeah, I remember a plot from the last few years that involved some minor German nobility.

Can’t remember the last time it happened in any other western democracy.

A country with no department of education … I realise they’re devolving some of it to state level, but wow.

Podcasts are thinking for people who can’t read.

I’m making a rather cruel joke, but I do find some friends who struggle (lazy / busy, I’m not sure why) to read a news article I might share with them and, who will share with me some 20 sec Instagram clip with the words flashing up with Peterson or Rogan “slamming”, “owning”, “destroying” the libs. A quick Google usually dispels the quote or shows that the subject is not so simple.

I should also add I do listen to podcasts and radio and there’s nothing wrong with both.
