Video 2/3: “2 unit tests, 0 integration tests”

Because they bring me such joy, I will share with you all the software testing videos I share with my Software Design and Development students.

Video 1/3: “We don’t need user testing! We already know our users”

`telnet mapscii.me` is the coolest thing you'll see all day, maybe all week.

While our reviewing committee works hard on reviewing all your submissions for 2024, let’s take a look at some statistics and numbers of this year's 🔍

Have you submitted your proposal? Keep an eye out, we'll be sending acceptance letters next week!

@fr0gger Very nice graphics! Which tool did you use?

A library that is still growing and has yet to be printed:

I have to imagine it feels very bad to be in Procurement at a large company using VMware these days.

This is not funny ....

tweet von @tenderlove: I like to add � and ’ any time I submit online forms because I know that some developer is going to see it and wonder if they have a bug.

Is there a "linter" for unit files? Some that checks that the unit file doesn't have conflicting settings, for example, or that it's probably missing a setting that's usually needed with what's there already. Something like Rust's "cargo clippy", but for system unit files.

Rapid prototyping of Go apps with ko

Today I came across my first real use-case for ko, a tool that allows turning Go source code into a container and deploying it - all with a single command. Usually I'm quite wary of these tools (because in my experience they are mostly just useful for "Hello world" apps), but in this case I had the opposite experience: I was extremely impressed how quickly and effortlessly I could iterate from a piece of #golang code to a #container image and deploy the app on #kubernetes cluster with some extra bells and whistles - and at no point have I felt "restricted" by the simplicity of #ko - give it a try!

My curl commands were working.

But my equivalent ones using Python requests library were not.

I found this useful tool very useful!

About two months ago, I had posted an autumn view of Wildeck Castle in southwestern Germany (see https://famichiki.jp/@norbertwoehnl/111215603869858361).

Today is a good time to post a chilly winter view of the castle, taken from roughly the same vantage point. Wildeck is home to a viticulture school, developing ecological approaches to wine-growing, as well as conducting research on the local Württemberger wines.

A winder image of Wildeck Castle in southwestern Germany. The castle is situated on top of a hillside vineyard. There are trees and a sweeping field in the foreground. All visible natural landscape features are covered with a thin layer of frost.

Because I've been using it quite a bit lately and think it might be useful for some of you, here's a list of status codes and descriptions in man page format:

Screenshot of the manual page, showing descriptions for HTTP status codes 426 through 505.

How the first gen ipod was reverse engineered to run :

1. Someone figured out that when loading a particular HTML page (for viewing on the device), the device would reboot. It crashed. A buffer overflow in the HTML viewer!

2. The device remembered what it did before the crash, so it would reload the HTML page again after boot. Unless you connected to it over USB and removed the HTML file it would stick in this cycle.
