Vanochtend vroeg een hevig gefladder in mijn tuin. Ik sloeg er geen acht op. Er zitten zo vaak vogels in de bomen.

After about 15 minutes, I walked into the garden and a bird of prey devoured a pigeon right in front of me.

Ugh. Why is Mailchimp's standard HTML so terrible?
Why use so many tables inside of tables for something where there is not even a need for tables?
And it stuffs your mails with unnecessary spans inside of divs. And so much repeated elements. So much clutter...
there used to be an issue, I don't know if there still is, with HTML mail clients not adhering to the HTML standards as well as others. And not supporting in their clients things that are supported in other clients. Outlook was a good example of this
So HTML mail templates tended to cover all bases by using tables and divs and created a whole mess, just to get different mail clients to render the spam mail correctly in each of the clients

Angry, confused and worried about police – behind Instagram bans

Instagram users have told the BBC of their confusion, fear and anger after having their accounts suspended, often for being wrongly accused by parent company Meta of breaching the platform's child sex abuse rules.

The image is a screenshot of a Twitter post. The post features an illustration of a character with turquoise hair and teal eyes, lying on her back amidst a cityscape. She is wearing a sleeveless top with teal accents and black pants. The background shows a dense urban environment with numerous buildings. The tweet is in Japanese and includes hashtags related to the character's birthday. Below the illustration, there is a reply from a user named Lucario Remendez on YouTube, expressing a comment about the character's age in the art. The reply mentions that the character has turned 18 but will always be technically 16-17 in canon, and criticizes the art for depicting her in a mature manner. The tweet has received 488 retweets and 3.7K likes.

Das Bild zeigt eine Szene an einer Brücke, auf der ein Straßenbahnunfall stattgefunden hat. Im Vordergrund ist ein beschädigter Straßenbahnbahnhof zu sehen, mit mehreren Personen, die sich um den Unfall herum versammelt haben. Ein Straßenbahnbahnhof ist stark beschädigt, und die Straßenbahnen sind auf den Gleisen verkeilt. Auf der Brücke sind mehrere Autos zu sehen, die in beide Richtungen fahren. Einige Menschen stehen auf der Brücke und beobachten das Geschehen. Im Hintergrund ist ein Fluss zu sehen, und am Ufer sitzen einige Personen. Die Umgebung ist grün und es gibt Bäume und Gras. Die Szene wirkt chaotisch, mit vielen Menschen und Fahrzeugen.

Captured with a small mirrorless camera and 18mm lens, on a small tripod. I had no shifting lens, so this was shot head on with a wider lens and then cropped.
Harsh midday sun is normally not ideal for architectural photos, but the hard light nicely brought out the clapboard siding of this (since demolished) rather dilapidated old former antique shop.

When I left school I was actually pretty dismissive of writing tests, but I really learned to value tests and how to write good tests at work.
Tests make your code persist, it makes sure your assumptions stay true, even when people refactor things. Especially on a project with multiple people making changes.
I realized later that basically I would always do the test cases manually one time as I wrote the code. Like each little part I wrote I would check by running the binary with special inputs and debug prints etc before moving on to the next part.
So writing a test is basically like writing down what you would have manually checked. Because it's code then you can do every check every time.
Later on in a project when you refactor it's easy to forget some things you should check in old systems and it can become "I have to carefully go through the code and check re-check every branch to know that this works".
Having tests really makes refactoring internally and not having your API break feasible.
It's important to write tests thoughtfully though and really target the different possible branches in the code. It worries me a bit when people say "I just tell the LLM to generate some tests and it works great!"
One thing I learned from work is "only test the public API" which is a way to avoid "change detector tests'. I also always try changing the code to break it and make sure my test actually catches it.
Tests are mainly useful when they don't change while you change the underlying code, to verify that the behavior hasn't changed. If you test the internal parts too much then you lose the ability to refactor and keep the tests the unchanged. At the same time it can help to have some key internal tests to diagnose which part of a big system is failing. There can also be internal structural APIs you want to test the "public" interface of.
The point of a test is to make sure something important doesn't change.

in reply to (((Baslow))) • • •The image depicts a serene forest path surrounded by dense greenery. The path is paved and runs through a forested area, flanked by tall trees with lush foliage. The sunlight filters through the canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Fallen leaves and branches are scattered along the path, adding to the natural ambiance. A large tree with a thick trunk stands prominently on the right side of the path, its branches extending outward. The scene is tranquil and inviting, with a sense of depth created by the path leading into the distance.
