FCC to vote on banning US electronic device testing in Chinese labs

·1 views

The US Federal Communications Commission will vote on October 29 on a proposal to ban Chinese laboratories from testing electronic devices for the American market. The rule would require reciprocal testing access, barring countries like China that do not allow similar testing in US labs. If passed, the measure would take effect on December 1, 2028, giving companies over two years to relocate testing operations. China's Commerce Ministry has criticized the proposal as harmful to trade and promised retaliatory measures if it is implemented.

New app Luna uses AI and astronomy to guide stargazers, then tells them to put phone away

Luna is a new stargazing application designed to minimize screen time by encouraging users to look at the actual night sky. The app, built for mobile devices, uses the on-device Gemma language model to answer questions about celestial objects. Every answer is cross-checked for factual accuracy against a real-time astronomy engine that calculates positions based on the user's location and time. Luna provides features like dark sky site navigation and personalized alerts, but its core function ends with prompting the user to put their phone down and observe. It was recently tested in Bangalore, where it successfully identified stars and planets.

Software development guide advises freezing test outputs before refactoring code

A software development article outlines a method for safely refactoring legacy code. The approach involves first creating a set of nine synthetic test cases that define expected outputs. These test cases must pass before any code changes are made to ensure behavior is preserved. The article uses a specific function that maps payment webhook payloads as a concrete example. This technique aims to prevent accidental introduction of bugs during code maintenance.

New procedure defines rules for freezing flaky tests based on run disagreements

DEV Community outlines a technical procedure for handling flaky software tests. The process requires documenting a two-run disagreement on a specific fixture snapshot to justify skipping a test. Six mandatory fields must be validated, including test identifiers and file hashes, before a freeze record is approved. The system is designed to prevent stable bugs from being quarantined while allowing genuinely flaky tests to be temporarily skipped. The record must be stored in a specific file format for consistent review by both automated systems and human reviewers.
