Well, no, but not every funny story ends with a near-death experience…

Said first millionaire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Brannan

It’s quite wild. He’s also considered the first to publicize that there is a gold rush, much like these modern AI companies hype up their products to no end.

Ah, that makes more sense. I did remember it being a Dutch acquisition.

Dutch cartographers subsequently renamed Tasman’s discovery Nova Zeelandia from Latin, after the Dutch province of Zeeland. This name was later anglicised to New Zealand.

Jo, so wie auch so Motorsensen nochmal deutlich nerviger als Rasenmäher sind…

I guess, you didn’t claim otherwise, but just to point out that there’s actually also a genetic change in cultures that have consumed dairy for longer:

In northern European countries, early adoption of dairy farming conferred a selective evolutionary advantage to individuals that could tolerate lactose. This led to higher frequencies of lactose tolerance in these countries. For example, almost 100% of Irish people are predicted to be lactose tolerant.

I did find it quite weird that the most powerful stage for Digimon was often just a man. Always felt like the, uh, cartoonist(?) had a bit of a superiority complex. Like, what’s more powerful than an iron t-rex? An iron man, of course.

Although, thinking now, there was something about them merging with their humans. Was that just what that last stage is? Then I guess, I would allow it as some dramatic thingamabob.

Hmm, well, thanks for throwing that tidbit in either way. I’m certainly not deep into that whole artform, so probably just saw big eyes + cat ears and that was the end of my thought process. 🫠

Well, the advantage back then was that far fewer cars were on the road…

It’s just a silly anime girl showing up on first page load. If you’re deathly afraid of seeming unprofessional, that’s gonna do your head in…

Was wondering, if female Canada geese look different from males,and apparently they’re just slightly smaller, but Wikipedia has some excellent info nonetheless:

The honk refers to the call of the male Canada goose, whilst the hrink call refers to the female goose. The calls are similar but the hrink is shorter and higher pitched than the honk of males.

This image showed up in my feed as pure black and I thought that’s the shitpost, that it’s just all censored. 🫠

Thought it said “She run off with a porch thief”. Would’ve been a very different story…

Yeah. Perhaps also somewhat of a subverted expectations thing. The dog is portrayed as not even understanding pointing, but as soon as food is involved, it understands the transaction 1 cane = 1 bone very quickly.

For what it’s worth, when we say we do TDD in my team, we write a singular test case that fails, then we implement the production code until the test case works. Then maybe do a bit of refactoring to make it all work nicely together, and only then you start with the next test case.

Writing swathes of unit tests upfront sounds absolutely mad to me, for the reason you state. But also because you do need an API to test against. You can’t write a unit test in complete isolation, pretty much by definition. You can often do so for integration tests, but you definitely don’t want to put all test cases into integration tests, as that increases complexity massively…
