What is wrong with

That seem obvious enough to me without any comments.

> Where else could a Disney character bemoan the fact that his own sexual desires repulse him?

Maybe I skimmed the article a bit too hard, but this stuck out and I don't find any other mentions of this in the article. Why would a Disney villain need to lament about their sexual desires? In this about something specific from The Lion King?

>“Hellfire,” perhaps the single greatest Disney villain song, is the darkest of them all, as Judge Frollo reveals the unquenchable lust for Esmeralda that’s driven him to unimaginable evil, and contrasts it with his strict, austere religious beliefs.

I assume this is what was being referenced

I've recently been toying with the idea of turning my overly complicated weightlifting Excel into an overly complicated me-only webapp / testflight app. It can't be worse than Excel for iOS!

That entire theory is based on an emancipation act for someone who had one of the most common first names of the era? And that this person might or might not have come from an area with a Jewish population higher than in other areas? I'm not saying he has a book to sell, but... Hell, I'm saying it.

Also,that might be an unpopular point of view, but unless he was raised in the Jewish culture, he wasn't Jewish even if the claim was somehow true. Perhaps ethnically half-Jewish.

According to Jewish law, if his mother was Jewish, then so was he. The concept of a "half-jew" is modern invention, and not accepted by orthodox Jews

I could accept different standards across the world - things evolve differently. But why should a country have multiple standards? That one drives me nuts. Here in Israel fine - we use Type C... except for the completely random use of Type H. Then, main room air conditioners use Type M - but at least that's standardized...except for when it isn't.
m-zuber · 5 years ago
C is no ground and H does have But what I've been seeing these days is C style pins, but with a ground

The M used in Israel might be different than the one pictured as it is used exclusively for 3 phase lines (so an AC that doesn't need 3 phase can then have a regular plug)

It would seem that the constant change is a good thing, makes the gatekeeping all that much easier.

> but there is a cost.

It may be less than you suspect because the regular bubble in their ordering pipeline might give them time to deal with suppliers, maintain stock, improve their website, maintain systems, relax and refocus, etc.

I doubt it works out better than not doing it at least economically, but there may be enough benefit to offset most of the costs.

The times I've run into the B&H sabbath outage, I just waited and ordered later. There are more thing in my life than just ordering things as fast as possible, and I respect a business for having other priorities. (Plus, B&H is just generally a really good supplier)

the thing is, the bubble they have includes not doing anything on this list :)

Might be. Also, in any case - this adds stuff that wasn't in the original Alive AFAIK - supposedly it knows to only run tests that were affected by your last edit and show line-by-line red/green/gray coverage indicators: did someone say NCrunch?
m-zuber · 9 years ago
Correct. Alive was focused on a chosen method - so you chose one method, the test case to check that method, and then it ran. You could then check what execution would look like in called methods, but it was not project/solution wide.

Wondering if the Live Unit Testing came from the acquisition/integration of the Alive project. Very interesting indeed.
m-zuber · 9 years ago
It might be, but Alive was much more than just if the tests pass or not
