Fring is a mobile phone application. It’s not a sim card. It’s not associated with any mobile phone providers.

Comment on RSpec Matchers: Be careful while testing boolean values by David Chelimsky

David Chelimsky — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 20:27:36 +0000

There was an interesting discussion about this just last week at RubyConf in New Orleans. Not so much about RSpec, about Ruby predicates (i.e. methods that end with ‘?’) and “truthiness.” Essentially, nearly all of the time, we write code like this:

if some_predicate?
do_something
end

In that example, do_something would be executed if some_predicate? returned any value other than nil or false, so there is no reason to ensure that it is true or false, just that it is “truthy” or “falsy”

That is the reason that RSpec’s be_true and be_false work as they do and unless you have a very good reason to check the explicit value rather than its meaning in the context of the expression, you should probably just use the matchers as they are.

As of now, I am having Nokia E71. And I must say, I am completely satisfied with it.

I’m having a slight problem right here. I would like to purchase myself a good cell and can’t make up my mind on which phone to select. To begin with, i am considering the Nokia N97, which my friend has. It looks pretty tough, and all seemed cool, but i started looking at other phones. Now my largest problem is deciding between the Nokia E71 and the Samsung B3310. All advice is welcome.

great call…

if you’ve used adwords, you’ll know y it happened. that deepika padukone ad fellow desperately wants 2 promote his url and is aware of what are the most commonly searched keywords; like in this case antivirus. probably he has chosen most of the commonly searched keywords for his ad.

regards.

Use Adblock Pro or some other ad blocker and you won’t see any ads!
