It’s pretty terrible how poor the audio can be on some pirated films. I was given this sample (not the entire video) from a third party. Doesn’t seem worth it. The video quality is solid, but the audio seems to come from a camera in the theater.

Louis CK's Shameful Dirty Comedy

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 18:36:15 -0500

viafrank:

I’ve been thinking about Louis CK lately. I’m a fan of his show on FX, and I’m so happy his recent adventure in distributing his newest comedy special himself has been a rousing success. But my thoughts are going elsewhere to wonder why he has blown up in popularity in the past couple years, and why his comedy seems to resonate with these times. It always feels like there’s a comedian willing to address contemporary concerns with insight and honesty for each moment in time. All the greats had their focus: Richard Pryor and Chris Rock had race, George Carlin had absurdity, and I think Louis has hit on some sort of subterranean undercurrent of emotion that I didn’t realize might be swelling until I listened more closely: shame.

Cry of the Day: 35-year-old Sydneysider Kristian Anderson was recently diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Despite his illness, he wanted to express his gratitude for all the support he’s received from his wife Rachel, so he made her this special birthday video, complete with cameos by New Zealand Prime Minister John Key and actor Hugh Jackman.

Better get the plumber on the phone, because you’re about to break a water main.

Thycotic Code Challenge

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 13:35:00 -0400

I tried to reply to this post, but the comment form never posted. What I see is a common question that I have regarding TDD and unit testing in general: what makes a good unit test?

In the code challenge graciously put on by Thycotic, we are asked to implement a conversion function between their Base13 number system and common Base10 number system.

The instructions state that our “task is to implement the Converter.Convert method for this new number system to get all the unit tests passing.”

However, making all of the unit tests pass in this case is not the same as having a correct solution. The following code would successfully pass all unit tests, but not be correct.

    public class Converter
    {
        public string Convert(int number)
        {
            switch (number)
            {
                case 5:
                    return "5";
                case 10:
                    return "x";
                case 13:
                    return "10";
                case 20:
                    return "17";
                case 5006:
                    return "2381";
                case 9999999:
                    return "20z1879";
                default:
                    return "";
            }
        }
    }

I wonder what the best approach for unit testing functionality like this is?
