i dont get it. I if am taking a dependency on database or another class and i mock it using its interface, what is the harm in it?
Essentially i have tested that given my dependencies working correctly my class would also work as expected.
Almost -- you're testing that given your mocking implementation perfectly mirrors what the dependency would do given the inputs tested with that your functions produce the correct outputs (and hopefully you also verified the side-effects).
The article is stating that almost nobody goes through the trouble of implementing a mock database perfectly, they just do something like make a single call return some hard-coded data. While this works a bit, it means that if the database ever changes its interface you have to remember to notice and implement that change as well.
Paneer would be an excellent one to add because it's easy to make and doesn't even require rennet, just some sort of acid (citric acid carefully added has given me the best results)
In the 1984 movie Gremlins, the protagonist is warned not to feed the titular creatures (a type of transformer) after midnight, otherwise they promptly lose alignment and begin to hallucinate.
It says the number is a measure of users who posted their first comment or submission in 2023. So that, at least, is the correct way to read the graph.
That is interesting! Especially considering the true number of signups would be higher based on users who signed up but have never posted anything. Although we dont know how many are spam accounts that signed up, posted, and got banned.
Creator here. I'd love to know the number of accounts created, but that is not in the official data and I couldn't figure out anywhere to get it. It should be possible to get this data by crawling profile pages, but there's no comprehensive list or way to find them. AFAIK there is also no exposed incrementing user id that might hint at how many users were created between two dates.

This number should exclude bots users that had their first posts or comments flagged or removed, i.e. bots and spammers. I'd guess that there'd be a lot of these.
so essentially if i have a VM, i can just install the apps i require and then use them for my business. This sounds great but then I need to make sure i am monitoring and debugging it if something breaks ?
It doesn't. It is an open source project. Originally Sandstorm was offered by a startup, but they stopped [0] in 2017. You can make donations though [1].
