cargo mutants, https://mutants.rs/

A useful tool to do mutation-based testing on Rust projects.

Reminder: mutants aim at testing your test suites —whether they catch all your code details—, not your code itself.

@datarama @thomasfuchs I don’t know what industry experience you have, but an overabundance of #software out there is severely lacking in informal verification, let alone rigorous formal proofs.

From https://www.geekwire.com/2024/new-study-on-coding-behavior-raises-questions-about-impact-of-ai-on-software-development/ :

> code assistants like [ ] are very good at adding code, but they can cause “AI-induced .”
>
> “Fast code-adding is desirable if you’re working in isolation, or on a greenfield problem. But hastily added code is caustic to the teams expected to maintain it afterward.”

> In other words, more quantity doesn’t always lead to better .

It’s ironic that #GitHub #Copilot—an #AI #programming tool that owes much of its training set to the most successful collaborative #coding platform ever—is in fact poisonous to #quality collaborative #SoftwareDevelopment.

These are my most frequent commands, according to atuin's shell stats.

cargo before cd and git is indeed a surprise!

janriemer,

@algo_luca The fact that cargo t is your second most used command speaks for itself!❤️

I wish this was more common.

(not speaking of Rust projects specifically, but unit tests in general)

This might sound a bit strange - but I've just started to really watch & scrutinize my recordings for my how to & instructional videos - before sharing them. Earlier I relied a bit more on my gut feeling ("did I do well?") and edited some parts I more or less knew about, but left the rest. 📼✂️

OC Comparing compression in AV1, x264, and x265

I recently got it into my head to compare the various popular video codecs in an effort to better understand how av1 works and looks compared to x264 and x265. I also had ideas of using a intel video card to compress a home video security setup, and what levels of compression I would need to get good results....

If I hadn't already, I'd cancel my subscription over this. If you are in NS or PEI, consider cancelling. And file complaints, this borders on fraud. I'll explain.

After hearing concerns from an “alarming” number of residents, P.E.I. Premier Dennis King says he would consider sponsoring a regional media company’s obituaries page to ensure its death notices are not behind a paywall.

Redeployed new Corsi Rosenthal boxes on low speed. Things are dry, but no harm in sucking up any remaining dust from demolition, any mold and mildew spores that might be lurking. These things are great! For wildfire smoke, COVID and influenza, mold spores... cat litter smells! MERV13 is specified, equal to FPR10+.

Cazabon's :

The overall quality and of a film can be approximated with the following :

Q = 1 / ((n - 2) ^ 2)

... where Q is watchability in the interval [0, 1], and n is the number of genres the movie is categorized as having in its IMDB listing.

Action, Comedy: 1.0
Drama, Thriller, Music: 1.0
Action, Comedy, Drama, Horror, Thriller: 0.111

Note: there's a discontinuity at n == 2, which we avoid by using the value 1 in that case.

Huh. These requirements should be in force for all publishers, not just new individual developers.

"Google says that new developers with individual accounts (as opposed to new Organization accounts) will be required to test apps with 20 people or more for 2 weeks or longer before publishing to production. The company believes this will help developers identify issues and bugs, and gain user feedback before their app’s launch.”

Komplett wild. Sowas hätte ich von irgendner Chinabutze mit nem Markennamen wie [Medizinball auf die Tastatur geditscht] erwartet, aber von SanDisk/WD nicht. Das ist offenkundigst ein Design-/Produktionsproblem und nichts was man mit Firmware-Updates fixen kann. Aber sie versuchen's totzuschweigen. Wie dreist.
