(Disclaimer: I work for shipyard.build so i am biased here..) Dev-owned testing (or even dev-involved testing) is much more realistic when devs have shorter feedback loops between their code and its deployment. So often i've seen momen

Frustrating to see. Dev-led testing is too fundamentally different from a QA function, just as any amount of E2E tests can't replace manual testing. Each tries to solve for a different type of problem. Is it possible to do effective de

DORA, recently, has been moving towards its own sphere outside of DevOps, hence why the acronym isn't usually expanded. So many of the core principles of DevOps (communication, collaboration, working across teams, etc) have impact beyo

> Because ephemeral environments are reproducible on demand (via Docker images, Kubernetes pods, or a cloud VM), you can guarantee that each bisect step sees the same conditions. This drastically reduces "works on my machine"

I'd be curious to know how the market is for frozen dinners designed to be microwaved on/in a separate plate/bowl. I usually do that anyway for things that come in plastic microwavable containers

Round rect technique aside (fascinating stuff!), the storytelling here is really charming. Reads like a clever short story > Bill returned to Texaco Towers the following afternoon, with a big smile on his face. His demo was now drawing r

I remember there being some buzz a few months back around something similar happening with Spotify. Lots of random tracks that looked/sounded suspiciously AI-generated strewn into Spotify-generated playlists.

My college's yield increased every year I was there, we got "the largest freshman class historically" four years in a row, even with their efforts to account for the new higher yield. It's hard to accept the right number

AFAIK, my highschool still is offering BASIC in their intro CS curriculum. It's just so accessible and many of us preferred it over Python for intro classes

I always prefer the bottle filling stations over drinking fountains, for the 20% of the time that I actually have a bottle with me. In gyms/libraries/airports it always feels like refilling stations get 5x more use than drinking f

When I lived in Boston, the thing that kept most of my friends from driving during weekdays was how profoundly aggressive the drivers tended to be. There are very few cities where I've seen that level of road rage

I've always loved these types of puzzles, glad to know what they're called and have a place to find them! Very well-designed site, definitely will be returning often

Exactly! You would think a free tool for such a simple purpose would be easier to find online. Glad to see Firefox raising the bar

Exactly. Bug bounty seems like one of the smartest financial decisions a company can make. As for devs, it seems like a good deal if they're going to be finding these vulnerabilities anyway

> Still, I like the idea of using a browser from a company that does not want to access my data on their own servers. Mozilla's motives alone for creating a web browser are why I trust FF. I don't like the idea of Chrome subs

Doesn't seem like a stupid question to me. Would love to know their terms on this, eg. partial refunds? Voucher for next eclipse in a few years?

Agreed, it felt like such a major leap in modernity from the Aqua wallpapers. I still think of it as the definitive 2000s Mac OS X wallpaper, it really was everywhere in no way any of their wallpapers have been since. It was like the Bliss

I've been waiting 2 years for them to correct that, and I'm surprised it didn't happen right away. It seemed like such a widely-hated feature would warrant a windows 8 -> 8.1 level UX adjustment

Iirc the PS2 also got a huge boost by being a cheap alternative to designated DVD players, but it eventually obviously paid off. I wonder how that factored into their PS3 strategy
