Laws of Ukraine explicitly state that elections cannot be held in a wartime. These provisions are older than current presidency and parliament.

Claim to illegitimacy due to refused elections is the best way to tell everyone you gobble up Russian propaganda.

Occupying a country that size doesn’t take a mere week. So no, it won’t.

Oh yeah, please do imagine there is no such thing as a time zone.

On an ellipsoid!

You’re one link click away from understanding why your message is stupid. Question is whether it’s message alone.

Ah, I didn’t get that impression myself, but looking at the article again I can see it.

The author clearly doesn’t realize that they still mock in their examples. I understand the annoyance with mocking away the complexity, however.

To address your second claim - doing IO in tests does not mean testing IO.

I test my file interactions by creating a set of temporary directories and files, invoking my code, and checking for outcomes. That way I can write my expectation before my implementation. This doesn’t test IO, merely utilizes it. The structure in temp that I create is still a mock of an expected work target.

Very similarly I recently used a web server running in another thread to define expectations of API client’s behavior when dealing with a very ban-happy API. That web server is a mock that allowed me to clearly define expectations of rate limiting, ssl enforcement (it is a responsibility of an API client to initialize network client correctly), concurrency control during OAuth refreshes etc., without mocking away complexities of a network. Even better, due to mocking like that I was able to tinker with my network library choice without changing a single test.

Mocks in the general sense that author defined them are inevitable if we write software in good faith - they express our understanding and expectation of a contract. Good mocks make as few claims as possible, however. A networking mock should sit in the network, for example, lest it makes implied claims about the network transport itself.

I could write a long tirade on the terrifying flaws of this logic, but instead I’ll just share a reminder that barely anyone is the villain of their own story.

“Counterrevolutionary” is a word devised in order to avoid saying “rules for thee by not for me”.

White skinned, blonde, blue eyed phenotype occurs in Middle East for ages.

The idea that Jesus couldn’t be white because he was from Palestine is just an extension of a common US racist worldview that makes “muslim” a race and views Middle East as a valid non-white target. It’s nearly as stupid as the idea that Jesus’ skin color matters.
