  • Re: I must be new here, but...

    [quote user="MiffTheFox"]It's like Reddit and Twitter had a ugly mutant baby. The fact that the web site seems to be unsure whether it's a open source or commercial application is telling enough. (No top-level download, documentation, or installation links, but "fork on Github" button? A "Buy It" button that ...

  • Re: When 1024x768 is too much (bringing back the fullscreen thread)

    [quote user="Ben L."] Name ONE thing you did this month that matters "in the scheme of things". I haven't even had any THOUGHTS about that kind of thing. Because everything you see as your world was a mistake. A mistake many billions of years in the making that forms the foundation for life, but just an accidental ...

    [quote user="blakeyrat"][quote user="_gaffer"]Looks like it's assuming that you are actually playing on an Xbox, and trying to work with standard definition TVs (576i), albeit in a slightly retarded manner.[/quote] Old-school SD was 525 lines-ish. (Everything is analog, and the TV bezel was expected to cover much of the ...

  • Re: Automated Acceptance Testing

    [quote user="DrPepper"][quote user="_gaffer"]It's basically a tool for getting in the way of development, like JIRA or Maven. It's not really designed for a valuable purpose, rather it's more fodder for the sort of obstructive, drooling perverts who get unnaturally excited by spreadsheets.[/quote] Wow -- written ...

  • Re: Automated Acceptance Testing

    [quote user="derari"]So I just looked up the definition of acceptance testing from Alex' article: [quote]Acceptance Testing formal or informal testing to ensure that functional requirements as implemented are valid and meet the business need[/quote] What's wrong with automating that? I'm not saying that manual testing ...

  • Re: Automated Acceptance Testing

    [quote user="DrPepper"]Fitnesse was around before Cucumber, IIRC. Both cucumber and Fitnesse address the same issue -- provide a way to run your program, or a portion of your program, with inputs and assertions that are not written using terms, conditions, and rules of the problem domain, in plain english, rather than ...

  • Re: Automated Acceptance Testing

    [quote user="boomzilla"]I wouldn't call it an absolute absurdity. It appears to be trying to be an integration testing suite, which is a reasonable thing. I think we all agree that marketing it as acceptance testing is a WTF. The idea of allowing someone other than developers to be able to specify tests definitely has some value. ...

  • Re: Heroku

    [quote user="blakeyrat"][quote user="Soviut"]Incidentally, Heroku can also host Python frameworks like Django and Flask,[/quote] Another minor WTF: one of the Heroku sites Idiot-We-Fired set up was entirely PHP. But he ran it in Heroku anyway, even though Heroku doesn't support PHP. Apparently the solution was extremely ...
