“Red-Green-Refactor” is a familiar slogan from test-driven development (TDD), describing a popular approach to writing software. It’s been both popular and controversial since the 2000′s (see the recent heated discussions between David Hansson, Bob Martin, and others). I find that it’s useful but limiting. Here I’ll describe some interesting exceptions to the rule, which have expanded the way I think about tests. "You don't have to put on the red light"

Then of course there's Requires-Gin-Refactor for when you're programming with a prolific lounge poster.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Earlier this year, when Apple announced OS X 10.10, they said that there would be a free beta for the OS. Starting tomorrow, if you have signed up for the beta program, you will be able to download the bits in the afternoon. What an innovation! Why doesn't anyone else do this?

Javascript and its frameworks are really useful for building something with just one language. "Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript."

JavaScript is the best language you can use in the same way that a pencil is the best word processor you can use: "It works a lot if you do a lot of work".

Companies in hiring mode say there's a shortage of tech talent, while IT pros are upping their expectations for pay and benefits. Good news for all those laid off 'Softies?

A group of researchers from Taiwan has developed a method that uses ink-jet technology to print working memory on an ordinary piece of paper. Remembering to get a new printer cartridge is still up to you though

But despite the inadvertent hilarity, the real marvel of our mobile text-correction systems is how astoundingly good they are. its grate! Now may righting is foxy.

Bromium Labs today issued its "Endpoint Exploitation Trends" report that shows Internet Explorer set a record high for reported vulnerabilities in the first half of 2014, and also leads in publicly reported exploits. Good news, everyone! The universe still exists, and is operating normally.

I once cursed IE 10 during CSS test and it crushed that very moment - I just reported it to Microsoft out of fun  !
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

The power! Remind me not to get you to curse me.

The Verge[^]:
Microsoft will "streamline the next version of Windows from three operating systems into one single converged operating system." Describing the implications of the change, Nadella said "this means one operating system that covers all screen sizes."
Even though this could simplify the situation, it's gonna be quite a challenge.

Nadella wrote: "this means one operating system that covers all screen sizes."
Strange he doesn't say anything about the hardware or any minimum requirements. I guess it will cover all screen sized with the same text message similar to This device doesn't meet the minimum requirement of the operating system.
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Nah, you're too pessimistic. Wait and see. After a while you can run your Dynamics AX client on your Xbox One and battle online for clients. This is the next step in gamification[^]

As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

I guess they just won't be springing for a sound system, so that the speakers can't be heard?
