    How testing looks in Clojure with Midje

    Needless to say, I’m sold.

    With “lein midge —lazytest” tests restart after every change to the source files, like with Ruby’s autotest. Featured in the snippet: Leiningen, Midje, Lazytest.

    Clojure is a thing of immense beauty.

    Beanstalk: How I sped up Beanstalk's test suite by 5x

    beanstalkapp:

    Over the years of Beanstalk’s evolution, our test suite has grown a lot. We started on test/unit, then moved to rspec and moved back to test/unit couple years ago. We are far from 100% test coverage and we’re not truly test-driven most of the times, but we’re striving to test more and more.

    Ночь, улица, фонарь, аптека,
    Бессмысленный и тусклый свет.
    Живи еще хоть четверть века -
    Все будет так. Исхода нет.


    Умрешь - начнешь опять сначала,
    И повторится все, как встарь,
    Ночь, ледяная рябь канала,
    Аптека, улица, фонарь.

    Glasgow Love Theme

    This is a second and last piece of my repertoire :) It’s written by Craig Armstrong for Love Actually OST. I play that one longer than the Doga, but still suck.

    Doga's Waltz

    This is the first time I finally decided to record something from my piano repertoire. Recording is pretty messy, since I can’t even use GarageBand properly. Hope you still can enjoy it.

    This is Waltz written by Eugen Doga, from a popular russian movie based on Chekhov’s novel “The Shooting Party”.

    You can download it here.

    Google Chrome web inspector is finally getting up to par with Firebug. It’s missing some stuff, but it’s much better than Safari’s version, even though they share the same codebase. I hope Google engineers push some of that stuff back into Webkit so that Apple could use it.

I especially loved somewhat new Audit feature, it’s essentially a tool similar to YSlow, but with a fresh face and Google analysis code. It’s nice to not have to install any extensions to use it, since you get it with every Chrome install and that’s another advantage other YSlow. Besides, I trust Google’s opinion on how to make a site faster better than Yahoo’s :)

Btw, updated Network tab is also awesome.

P.S. I’m using Chrome 9.0.572.1 dev for Mac. Older versions have inspector that is not that cool.
