A propos de Meta et la sécurité des utilisateurs, déclaration de Brian Boland, ancien vice-président des partenariats chez Meta :
« Mon sentiment Š l'époque, et mon sentiment aujourd'hui, c'est qu'ils ne se soucient pas vraiment de la sécurité des utilisateurs. Ce n'est pas quelque chose auquel ils consacrent beaucoup de temps. Ce n'est pas quelque chose auquel ils pensent. Et je pense vraiment qu'ils s'en moquent. »

Writing unit tests for my random number generation library continues to be difficult. My tests are failing because the bias in the distribution exceeds my expectations, but I'm wondering whether I should just repeat the test more times and permit it to exceed expectations some of the time (as long as it does it symmetrically/rarely/etc. My gut tells me that second-order expectations aren't any better than first-order expectations, but another part of me disagrees.
Thinking more as I write this (writing is thinking): second-order tests can at least give me better info to work with towards fixing things I think! So maybe I'll invest in them.
