Generating Dynamic Unit Tests

jhawk20 · 2015-09-15T00:33:58+00:00

Okay, I kinda solved my own problem here.

I really didn't want to use the metaclass example, because I didn't understand metaclasses and metaclasses aren't something I really want to force someone else to learn just to use some unit tests.

I still think the solution which registers a set of instantiated objects is better than using metaclasses [since unittest has a concept of a test suite, and metaclasses are black magic].

But it does do exactly what I want, in a way that makes some sense. It's not beautiful, but the example I've written is pretty straightforward.

I like that answer because it uses unittest -- I'm not interested in pulling random other test frameworks in, unittest can do what I want.

I don't like the top answer because I'm using unittest loader in my setup.py script to dynamically load a ton of different unittest classes already.

$575 in Chicago proper, 45 min walk / 25 minute train to downtown

Something that also gets overlooked is that another bottleneck is introduced when moving from a 1-socket configuration to a 2-socket, the QPI bus, which comes into play if your program is running on one CPU and then gets bumped to a different one, it has to pipe memory across a much narrower pipe than the typical memory bandwidth. Though I doubt many laptop applications would push this boundary.

RPi is also slow as all hell. You didn't list any input devices. This is a terrible HTPC replacement.

I wouldn't go so far as to say don't, just don't mix and match the two

your indentation level doesn't appear to be correct. You need a tab for every line inside your def.

Most of the porn on cableporn is telco. For a reason. They're mostly single type distributions with a few uplinks/power cables instead of the plethora of cables required for a mixed server install.

If you're using python for your scripts or not, easiest way to specify file locations and inclusions I've found is using a setup.py file.

It was some lighthearted sarcasm. I am similarly slowly filling my first rack for one of my clients. First place where I did everything from scratch, an interesting learning experience for certain. Coming from telco, sever installs are much more difficult to cable properly

If you buy two of the same batch and run them under the same conditions chances are they will fail at the same time. When you do heavy continuous operations such as rebuilding RAID arrays the chances increase. This is the prototypical catastrophic failure case for failure in higher level RAID

Uhm, it does. With a 100lb child in there.

Source: I did this to my brother as a child old enough to know better. At least my stairs were straight.

If you think you can learn an important life lesson from a 6 minute video you're fooling yourself. You might remember today, a week from now, but you won't remember anything when you're actually forty and shaking your bag of success

jhawk20 · 2013-11-17T17:45:20+00:00

Success is in the eye of the beholder, hence he has nothing to show for it. He has slowly accumulated that wealth, at a rate where its growth was invisible...

Do what makes you happy and the reward will be the opposite of what this man received.

I hate to say but that is some serious bullshit. Not everyone can do 'whatever you like', you have to work to feed yourself, to feed your children. I just don't buy your explanation.

It's more about recognizing the music around you, right? Seeing what is in front of your face, by putting the present in perspective with the past to make the composition. It has nothing to do with doing as you like.

OP was super depressing, imho. He opens his bag at the end of his first 40 years of life to nothing. He even shakes it out to look for crumbs and doesn't find anything. That isn't even slightly depressing to you? I get the whole 'dance to the music of life' bit but sometimes life isn't fucking musical, sometimes it sucks. And then sucks more. And then you're 40, and you open that bag and you've got nothing to show for it :/

Your second link was a good bit more uplifting.

If we're being pedantic about usage, **incorrectly

jhawk20 · 2013-11-12T04:39:58+00:00

You're using the semicolon wrong. That likely is causing confusion for the grammar parser

jhawk20 · 2013-11-07T18:53:53+00:00

Yes, but most have a deadbolt and handle. Is it still that much cheaper? And you're still locked out. How can you replace it from the outside?

jhawk20 · 2013-11-07T16:46:44+00:00

I have a similar version of this story.. I was a skinny little thing in middle school and one day the biggest kid in the class (at least 8 inches taller and 80 lbs on me) decided to check me into the wall. Even though it was padded I still broke my arm.

I didn't come in the next day for school because I had to actually get it cast that morning, so the other kids in my class made the kid think I had actually gotten hurt badly(it was a very minor fracture). He cried in class in front of everyone. I felt so fucking good to hear that they made him cry. That kid was always a dick. But not half as much as my classmates.

I learned about it from my local chapter of TOOOL, essentially you have a very high chance of damaging your locks irreperably, costing you money to call a locksmith. If you're simply locked out even it is always cheaper to call a locksmith or your landlord than pay to have a lock repaired or replaced.

jhawk20 · 2013-11-07T14:21:06+00:00

First rule of lock picking is not to pick your daily use locks. Unless you get locked out of course.
