I never said that you should prefer 3 star restaurant. I was responding to the specific claim that home cooked meals are always better than eating out.
> I think nobody in my country would say going out to eat is better than eating at home.
You haven't eaten at a 2 or 3 star restaurant then. They use ingredients you don't have access too, using techniques you can't use at home and pair them with wines or juices you haven't heard about.
However good you think your home cooking is (I think I'm a fairly good cook), you don't come to the knees of a chef with such a restaurant.
Yes, they are not cheap. But neither is buying a bigger house.
And if it's about getting together, who cooked the food doesn't matter. Or even get together without food, that works too.
I am 46yo. And I was in a reading slump for most of my fourties. I used to be an avid reader until I became a father and my 3 children began taking up more of my time. And I got a shorter attention span too.
I signed up for TT because my eldest child wanted an account and I wanted to see what he was sharing and seeing. He abandoned his account quite quickly, but I found fantasy booktok. And the Tiktokers' youthful enthusiasm was a big part of what got me out of my years-long reading slump.
I doubt if this happens often enough to be industry changing, but it does happen, even for someone very much outside the Tiktok demographic.
As an aside: where it does seem to have an influence is more people in the Dutch language zone reading books in English. I have been reading in English since I was 12 and at the time many people thought that was crazy. But nowadays every bookshop has a wall full of English Fantasy en YA books.
It only targets big "platform providers" not startups. It even levels the playing field for those startups. People get so ideologically tangled that they just knee jerk.
Not just that, it's removing barriers for competition. Which is what good regulations is all about. (and, technically it more than just bubble color, it's also including everyone in group chats)
No, it was earlier. I was subscribed to this Dogbert newsletter and it was increasingly obvious that he was not as logical as he thought he was. Like really believing in positive affirmations because he did a good exam after doing them.
yes. When I get called in as a senior consultant for some business app, it's always for the same reason: development speed has crawled to an almost stop. And it is always caused by unnecessary complexity.
I blame the fact that design patterns and specific architectures are being taught to people who don't understand the problem those things are trying to solve and just apply them everywhere.
Any senior dev or architect should always live by this maxim: make it as simple as possible.
Limits on free speech by government is dangerous. Private companies enforcing rules you have agreed to when you became a member, is something completely different.
Wild speculation with a sprinkle of logic (garbage assumptions lead to garbage conclusions)
HOWEVER, I have skimmed through it by now and the last paragraph is actually quite good. It takes a while to get there and the chosen examples aren't great, though.
"Considering the factors mentioned above, we can reason that unit tests are only useful to verify pure business logic inside of a given function."
That just isn't true and it makes the rest of the blogpost also not true.
A unit test should test "a unit of functionality" not just a method or a class. Your unit tests also shouldn't be coupled to the implementation of your unit of functionality. If you are making classes or methods public because you want to unit test them, you're doing it wrong.
The exception is maybe those tests you are writing while you're doing the coding. But you don't have to keep them around as they are.
