Improving End-to-End Tests to Reduce Flakiness: Tools and Strategies

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-02 11:16:32

There’s nothing worse than a test suite that fails randomly. Flaky end-to-end (E2E) tests erode confidence, slow down releases, and lead developers to ignore legitimate failures. If your team starts using the term “CI roulette,” it’s time to act. Flaky tests are fixable—but it takes visibility, discipline, and the right tooling. What Is a Flaky Test? A flaky test is one that fails sometimes and passes other times, without any changes to the code. They’re usually caused by: Timing issues (e.g

What Will Become of the CIA?

news.ycombinator.com Keith Gessen 2025-08-05 23:16:07

In December, 1988, as the Soviet Union was beginning to come apart, Senator Bill Bradley, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, convened a closed-door hearing with several of the C.I.A.’s top Soviet experts. These were analysts, not operatives. They did not run spies or weapons, or shoot poisoned darts at people; mostly, they sat at their desks at Langley, reading Pravda or studying photographs of Soviet military parades. The hearing found them in a melancholy mood, pondering

Here’s why there are so few new cars for under $30,000

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-05 23:05:23

The affordability crisis affecting the US automobile market shows little signs of abating. The average price of a new car continues to rise: In June the average new vehicle MSRP was $51,124, according to Kelly Blue Book, with average transaction prices a little lower at $48,907. While one might imagine this has had a dampening effect on car sales, the opposite is true—the first half of 2025 has seen a robust market with some months seeing extremely high volumes.

Apple Only Has One Hope for a Foldable iPhone that Beats Samsung

Next year, Apple will enter the foldable phone market, and after more than seven years of mainstream folding devices, its debut won’t be light on competition.

It suggests that it is a contender to premium phones such as the iPhone 16 Pro or the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but it simply isn't. Instead it's a solid midranger, offering decent performance and a host of quirky features for a relatively affordable price.

The new Superman movie continues to rule the box office after its second weekend, leading the pack with $57 million from US audiences, and this relaunch of the DC universe is only getting started. Superman stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and David Corenswet as the Man of Steel. The movie isn't an origin story; it picks up when Superman is already well-known (and moments after he loses any fight-winning streak he previously had). I won't provide any more details

What happens when housing prices go down?

There’s a theory about housing that has taken hold with a kind of religious fervor: If you want to make housing more affordable, just build more of it. Supply and demand. Simple economics. This narrative is now dominating housing policy discussion across the political spectrum. Deregulate, upzone, speed up approvals, let the market work. And if you build enough homes, the theory goes, prices will come down. But here’s the question almost no one asks: What happens when prices actually start to
