Automation testing is key in Software Development. I wrote a brief tutorial on how to produce Code Coverage reports with @angular & @Cypress_io as part of your #CI pipeline medium.com/@lukas.klement/im…

Ceding Ukrainian land for peace is just abstract words. It’s not only about reality, even more about philosophy. Putin was talking about Donbas, but then he decided to occupy Kyiv, our capital. His words were about Donbas, but the reality was about Kyiv. He kept saying he was defending Russian-speaking people and then tortured hundreds and thousands to death in Bucha and other places. So that wasn’t about Russian-speaking people.
This is why when Americans asked, “Can you exchange Donbas for security?” I said right there, “Can you tell me what it means? What security? NATO?”
“Not NATO, but similar to NATO.”
“Similar? But you don't want the answer about Donbas to be ‘similar.’ You want a clear answer about Donbas. This is your goal. And this is Putin’s goal, for today. What will you do if we have security guarantees but not NATO?”
They took our nuclear weapons. I'm not a fan of nuclear weapons. I think the world would be a better place without them. But the Russians took our nuclear weapons, didn’t they? They did. Then they stopped our integration into Europe, then prevented us from being in NATO. And in the end they occupied us. This is why it’s an abstract question. Nobody trusts Putin to stop if we leave Donbas. He will pause. Then he will come back in one year, two years, or five years. And who will be guilty?

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Donald J. #Trump prende di mira #PapaLeone XIV. E cosi tradisce un disagio profondo. Quando il potere politico si accanisce contro una voce morale, è perché non riesce a contenerla. Trump non discute Leone: lo implora di rientrare in un linguaggio che possa dominare. Ma il Papa parla un’altra lingua, che non si lascia ridurre alla grammatica della forza, della sicurezza, dell’interesse nazionale.
In questo senso, l’attacco è una dichiarazione di impotenza. Non potendo assimilare quella voce, il potere tenta di delegittimarla. Ma così facendo ne riconosce implicitamente il peso. Se Leone fosse irrilevante, non meriterebbe una parola. Invece viene chiamato in causa, nominato, combattuto: segno che la sua parola incide.
È qui che emerge la forza morale della Chiesa. Non come contro-potere, ma come spazio in cui il potere viene giudicato da un criterio che non controlla. Leone non risponde sul terreno della polemica, e proprio per questo resta fuori dalla presa. È libero.
E quella libertà, disarmata e disarmante , è forse ciò che più inquieta. E, nello stesso tempo, ciò che più conta.

Many people misunderstand Germany's economy.
It isn't based upon 7 flashy companies boasting massive market caps, but instead in mid-size companies that produce specific products to keep the world running.
Germany has over 3 times more hidden champions than America!

Die Zustimmung zum Mercosur-Abkommen ist von zentraler Bedeutung für eine glaubwürdige Handelspolitik der Europäischen Union in dieser Welt.
Jetzt ist die Zeit, zu einer Entscheidung zu kommen.

Putin richtet seinen Blick auf EU & NATO. Unsere Nachrichtendienste sagen uns eindringlich: Mindestens schafft sich Russland die Option auf einen Krieg gegen die NATO bis spätestens 2029. Wir müssen gemeinsam mit unseren Partnern und Alliierten Russland abschrecken. @AussenMinDE

Apple and Google are not saying it of course, but yes, interoperability between iOS Airdrop and Android Quick Share is the result of the European Union's DMA regulation.
Thank you EU 🇪🇺
Google and Apple are both playing coy on this airdrop story because it’s an unhelpful narrative if a European regulation is seen as producing better consumer outcomes globally, but let’s be clear: that’s exactly what’s going on here. @arstechnica the only one w/this context.

Unless something dramatic changes, our calculations suggest that Vladimir Putin will be unable to win the war on the battlefield. The fact that he nevertheless continues to try suggests that he is out of ideas economist.com/interactive/eu…

Taiwan makes over 60% of the world’s semiconductors and over 90% of the highest-end chips. The US makes only 12%.
Yet the US dominates value-add in the semiconductor industry (38%) compared with Taiwan (11%) largely due to chip design.
This is old news to many of you. But it’s worth coming back to whenever there’s a discussion about manufacturing and industrial policy as a strategy for development.
This chart comes from the BCG/SIA May 2024 report on semiconductor supply chain resilience: semiconductors.org/emerging-…

Klarna gets attention for efficiency gains—we shrank from ~5500 to ~3000 people in two years. But I have always highlighted AI is only part of that story.
Here is how we got away from analysis/paralysis and into customer obsession and centricity:

I moved last year from Berlin to Milan. After informing @TradeRepublic, they closed my account and banned me. Turns out it’s against their T&Cs to move permanently within the EU even if they operate in said country. @guyverhofstadt — how is this a functioning single market?
Cerco di prenotare le vacanze con la mia famiglia e nostro figlio di 3 anni in Italia. Viviamo a Milano, amiamo il buon cibo e viaggiamo spesso—ma sempre più hotel sono solo per adulti. Non è discriminazione? @GiorgiaMeloni, come si concilia con una politica natalista?

This is truly amazing. The Deputy White House Press Secretary is claiming that I'm wrong, and that the "tariff rates" on Trump's chart were calculated by "literally" measuring every country's tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers.
To prove it, he screenshots the formula the USTR says was used to calculate the reciprocal tariffs we imposed on other countries. And when you back out the Greek symbols, what is that formula? Trade deficit/imports - exactly what I said it was.
I don't know if the Deputy Press Secretary was misinformed, or is just being misleading. Either way, the Trump administration did not "literally calculate tariff and non tariff barriers" to determine the tariff rates it's imposing on other countries. As I said, it divided our trade deficit with a country by our imports with that country, and then multiplied by 0.5 (because Trump was being "lenient").
Oh, and if our trade deficit/imports with a country is less than 10%, or we have a trade surplus with a country, Trump slapped a flat 10% tariff on that country.

Perfect summary of the current situation by @itsolelehmann .
And, to put a figure on the 🇪🇺 rescue plan:
It’s EUR 800 billion per year.
