If you're doing BDD, then yes, you should assert that do_something is called. If you're doing TDD, then no, you should assert that you get the result you expect given `condition` being true. Personally, I can't stand BDD because it exposes internals way to much and it makes refactoring/optimizing/pretty-much-any-change increasingly difficult.

P.S. You got your assertion backwards :P

It is already explicit by using a testing framework.

Would you mind giving a concrete example where using rspec's full feature set is more readable and concise?

zenspider on Hey, r/Macs, why do I get a -47 error EVERY time I try to eject a drive/USB key, etc.? EVERY time. Then it works. But...... why???

So do it again with a brand new user... chances are you have some wierd background app that is holding files open when it shouldn't. Also, lsof should say what process it is that was opening the file. ETA: I see below that it is `mds` owned by root... so a new user won't help all that much. I had a similar problem with my time machine disk when I upgraded to lion. I did something (roughly) like the following: * Turn off time machine, select none for the time machine disk. * in terminal, ran: sudo mdutil -Ev -i off -a * read `man mdutil` to decipher what that does. * in termanal ran: sudo mdutil -Ev -i on -a and then waited for a nice long time as it reindexed my backups. That took 12ish hours, but I have many many years of backups in time machine.

I agree. The situation is fucked no matter what.

You're instructed never to remove anything piercing the body whether you need to give CPR or not. Often it is holding the wound in place and keeping the person alive. They're cut free of the rest of it and taken to a trauma center where they can deal with removing the object.

> Not going to do some calculations on it, but considering some circumstances I can see how some things may add up and make some sense.(delivery and tip for the coffee? last minute demand for a very specific kind of cable and having it delivered express...) If you're not going to do calculations on it... sure, I can see how someone might think it was reasonable to pay $9.39 per 12 oz coffee... Not thinking is always more reasonable than thinking.

zenspider on Does anyone use AppleScript? How has it improved your work flow on Mac OSX?

That's itunes and the airplay device syncing and buffering. Sucks, but it happens even when you manually do it.

I'd love to compare your airplay scripts to mine. I had a horrible time getting it to work well at all. http://blog.zenspider.com/2011/08/applescript-pita-set-itunes-dj.html

It should be noted that appscript is pretty much end-of-life'd as it relies on carbon. It still works on osx 10.7. ScriptingBridge is the way to go from here on out. I love the API in appscript so I'm thinking of porting it over.

That is true of any project, not just agile, not just software development. Look at [Victor Ninov and element 118](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Ninov) for an example.

Perhaps because it doesn't really need it. Also, YAML already has references, what they call anchors and aliases: http://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#alias//
