Shrinking is the real magic of property-based testing — producing a small, human-readable test case whenever a larger random case causes a test to fail. However, it can be hard to do correctly.
@CoderDennis in his talk will explore the Decorum library, an @elixirlang property-based testing library with shrinking that just works.

This is an absolutely must-watch interview with Syrian-born Palestinian social activist Manar Al-Sharif.
She went to Gaza to try to help the civilians there get necessities and education to better themselves and had her eyes opened to the brutal and impoverished reality of Hamas in Gaza for the Palestinian people
I watched almost all of it before I went to bed. I I’m now on the part where Hamas threw her in prison for refusing to stop speaking up about Hamas’ mistreatment and theft of aid from the Gazan civilians they have left impoverished by stealing billions meant to better the lives of Palestinian families.
Not a short interview but worth listening to in a way a few interviews are. Amazing stuff. Palestinian woman telling it like it is, and damn, it’s ugly.
This shows why @IDF is doing a huge service to the poor Palestinian people brutalized and murdered and left with nothing by Hamas.
An amazing part of this is where she mentions that the people told her life was better when the Israelis actually “occupied” Gaza.
The people had work and pretty good lives and didn’t encounter the horrible brutality of Hamas. Those who remember these days really resent Hamas, she explains.
Wow.
Interview here with English translation embedded: xitter.cf/AlexandreR1001/status/…
Dans une interview exclusive pour @WatchYalla et pour la première fois dans les médias arabes, la militante palestinienne Manar Al-Sharif révèle la réalité de la vie à Gaza sous le régime du Hamas, où les Palestiniens sont privés d'aide humanitaire internationale, emprisonnés et tués par des membres du Hamas et empêchés de vivre. de communiquer avec le monde pour parler de leurs souffrances.

When we Christians reduce our entire theological and political vision for the world to a demand that others must conform to our personal convictions, that is the moment we know we have stopped worshiping Jesus and have begun worshiping ourselves.

Today is my birthday! 🥳 As some of you know, I’ve been posting an illustrated dad joke every day this year. Today is day 336! It would be an amazing gift if you could help today’s drawing “go viral” 😊 Please???

Forget about becoming something. Just do stuff.
- Don't try to become a writer. Just write.
- Don't try to become a programmer. Just make something you need.

As I watch the Afghan evacuations, I remember being left behind in Iran in 1979, when everybody I knew fled the country at a time of revolution and war. My twin brother and I were 6 years old. This is the story of what happened after everybody left:
