Writing your Clojure tests in EDN files

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-21 07:36:59

Jacob O'Bryant | 19 Jul 2025 I've previously written about my latest approach to unit tests: [Y]ou define only the input data for your function, and then the expected return value is generated by calling your function. The expected value is saved to an EDN file and checked into source, at which point you ensure the expected value is, in fact, what you expect. Then going forward, the unit test simply checks that what the function returns still matches what’s in the EDN file. If it’s supposed to

Radical New Theory Rewrites the Story of the Earliest Universe

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-07-23 08:05:38

Following the Big Bang, our universe expanded at an exponential rate. According to this theory, known as cosmic inflation, the explosive growth produced tiny quantum fluctuations that later evolved into galaxies. Cosmic inflation neatly explains how our universe got so large and mostly homogenous, and that’s why it’s remained a strong theory in cosmology for decades. But it’s far from perfect. Cosmic inflation depends on certain theoretical assumptions that can get rather arbitrary—not ideal fo
