CALL FOR APPLICANTS (2007)

The Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology invites applications for research funding under the Government of Ireland’s Embark Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme (2007).

Lately, when writing JUnit tests I’ve been doing things like:


...
String result = some.method();
assertTrue("Expected " + expected + " but was " + result, result.equals(expected));
...

However, a similar result can be achieved with the semantically more accurate

...
assertEquals(expected, result);
...

This is even easier to type

I did know this, honest!

The Lockdown: Locked, but maybe secure (part 1)

refers to the previous articles:

The Lockdown: Locked, but not secure (Part I) - Engadget

The Lockdown: Locked, but not secure (Part II) - Engadget
