    1. On the simplest level, some programming languages are designed to prevent certain classes of mistakes. For example, some are designed in such a way that it is impossible to make the mistake that caused the Heartbleed bug.45These techniques have also been deployed in the aviation industry, for example, to ensure that the software that provides guidance functionality on rockets, airplanes, satellites, and scientific probes does not ever crash, as software failures have caused the losses of several vehicles in the past

      Teachers teach; they do not evaluate, and they do not hold their students’ fates in their hands directly

    1. Furthermore, the format of the test causes many educators to erroneously believe that the state test or provincial exam only assesses low-level knowledge and skill. This, too, is false. Indeed, the data from released national tests show conclusively that the students have the most difficulty with those items that require understanding and transfer, not recall or recognition.

      i am creating a comment on this sentence. what is different between using this and google docs? well it's an item on the web, for one. then how would using this integrate with google docs?

    1. Unfortunately, penicillin was ineffective against the rabbit's infection. Disappointed, Fleming set the drug aside for a decade, as the rabbits had "proved" the drug was useless as a systemic medication.Years later, he administered the drug in desperation to a dying patient, for whom all other treatments were ineffectual. The penicillin performed a miracle, and the rest is history.

      Interesting how these two sources contradict each other with regards to why Fleming did not release Penicillin for ten years.

    1. The term “testing” evokes a certain response from most of us: the person being tested is being evaluated on his or her knowledge or understanding of a particular area, and will be judged right or wrong, adequate or inadequate based on the performance given. This implicit definition does not reflect the settings in which the benefits of “test-enhanced learning” have been established.

      Testing as a demonstration of learning progress.

    2. Setting aside the last few minutes of a class to ask students to recall, articulate, and organize their memory of the content of the day’s class may provide significant benefits to their later memory of these topics.

      Formalizing the exit slip procedure in the BILL would be a good way to do this.

    3. This theory posits that memory has two components: storage strength and retrieval strength. Retrieval events improve storage strength, enhancing overall memory, and the effects are most pronounced at the point of forgetting—that is, retrieval at the point of forgetting has a greater impact on memory than repeated retrieval when retrieval strength is high.

      This meshes well with cognitive load theories about learning.

    1. “separate but equal”

      But isn't this also what Roberta Davenport is doing at P.S. 307? Not waiting for racism to disappear, but accepting that it will always be with us, and trying to build an educational environment that resists injustice, that teaches the students how and why they are in segregated schools, and what we can do about it -- but also a stance that rejects judging schools by test scores and other standard measures.

    1.  Imagine an educational system in which we based our understanding of student potential and achievement upon individual interests and passions, developed and nurtured throughout the years of schooling. This is what most teachers intuitively seek to do. Imagine, then, how amazing schools could be without the false conventions of examinations and tests that are philosophically at variance with all that we know about learning and humanity. Imagine the traditionalist bereft of the Examination Excuse. The fact is, we know that we don’t need examinations for students to get into good colleges and we don’t even need good colleges to learn and be successful, so why is this absurdity still the unchallenged tail that wags the dog of our school systems?
    1. For this reason, integration tests should always be kept separate from unit tests, in order to keep the unit tests running as quickly as they can.

      Many integration tests can function without any network, I/O etc. and still run as fast, or almost as fast as a pure unit test.

      Perhaps worth separating integration tests into those which are purely in-memory/local and those which hit the outside world?

    1. Brief but useful contrast of Jest vs. Angular approaches to dependency injection.

      The argument is that most code uses one implementation in production and one mock in testing and that using require() as the seam for inserting test doubles makes code easier to write than Angular's approach of implementing its own module system and DI container.

    1. Given we put the system in a known state before the user (or external system) starts interacting with the system (in the When steps). Avoid talking about user interaction in givens. When we take key actions the user (or external system) performs. This is the interaction with your system which should (or perhaps should not) cause some state to change. Then we observe outcomes.
    1. This problem is precisely the kind of problem that FSMs are very good at resolving. If you can enumerate the states, and events, then you know the number of paths though the system. So if Given/When/Then statements are truly nothing more than state transitios, all we need to do is enumerate the number of GIVENs and the number of WHENs. The number of scenarios will simply be the product of the two.

      Main observation here is that BDD is essentially a syntax for specifying states and transitions in a state machine. If all possible states and events can be enumerated, you can quantify what proportion of paths through the system have been tested

    1. Now, the problem is that the usual approach to controller testing is to instantiate the controller using $controller, but this fails since we do not have a named controller registered on our module

      this is an example of using pdf.js and OJS together.

    1. A trace records all its intermediate values in a small activation record area. To make variable accesses fast on trace, the trace also imports local and global variables by unboxing them and copying them to its activation record. Thus, the trace can read and write these variables with simple loads and stores from a native activation recording, independently of the boxing mechanism used by the interpreter. When the trace exits, the VM boxes the values from this native storage location and copies them back to the interpreter structures.

      this is a successful test of inline PDF.js document annotation

    1. We need to buy the building in order to do the Arcade renovations. Our landlord has agreed to do a rent-to-own scenario with a large down payment which is rare in the commercial world. Most business dream of this type of situation. We have tried all our options by going to banks for funding but we lack the assets to get a commercial mortgage. This goal includes perks, Indigogo fees, PayPal/credit card fees and legals fees.
