I was an #EE undergrad, when I backed into #CS. This was the age when assembly was the JavaScript of the day and structured programming was the state-of-the-fart. So, it was a jolt, when I first encountered Test-Driven Development #TDD in the early 2000s, thanks to the luminaries like Kent Beck, et al. Brilliant stuff!

But, at the risk of being drawn and quartered, I do say that TDD is a bit of a misnomer and an overstatement. Honestly, answer this: do EEs really create the hardware test suits first, before conducting analysis and design, and do CSs really create the software test suits first, before performing analysis and design?

No, we do not! We analyse the problem, we study the requirements, we search for inspiration in the literature, we sip our tea or coffee, we select a candidate solution, we create a plausible design, we implement a prototype, then we test—yes, THEN, WE TEST—if our wild imaginations have any basis in reality at all.

So, I prefer a more down-to-earth description of TDD, which says, "test early, test often, test as much as practicable", not "test first, because".

So my very young god child wants to build robots. After some basic electric circuits and an intro to logic, we will do a bit of #bash scripting. For starters, making the robot say looped a nursery rhyme.

for (( c=1; c<=5; c++ )); do echo "es isch amol en Maa gsii, de het mal ehn hole Zah kaa, in dem Loch im Zah hets en Brief kaa uf dem isch gstande"; done

What other bash lines should we play with? #linux #cs #teaching

Does anyone have an electronic copy of the CMU tech report of Michael Wayne Young Ph.D. thesis
"Exporting a User Interface to Memory Management from a Communication-Oriented Operating System"?

This is CMU technical report CMU-CS-89-202. The CMU tech report server has no entries for 1989...

I have an offspring who graduated with the May 2024 class (but was actually done in Dec 2023) who needs a #JobOpportunity

He has a #CS degree *and* #Linguistics from a well-known #NorthEast school. He had a great co-op at a prestigious research institution. He worked as a TA to the #software students and was prominent in the linguistics lab, contributing to a paper he helped present at a national conference

He doesn't know I'm posting this, but I believe he's looking for a software #engineering position, remote or in the #NorthEast #US. If there is related linguistics work so much the better.
