I don't think it's pedantic. I read bootstrapped to being self-funded by either the founders money and/or cash flow.

Fun digression late on a Wednesday :) The indeterminate form seems the most correct based on the analysis of the limit of f(x,y) = x^y as x approached zero from different paths. I had always thought of it more of an algebraic identity thing

As another commenter said, this is a pretty poor story to post here... most people here have a $/time utility that strongly favors time. But for people that invest the time in couponing (friending companies on facebook and getting high val

NASA merged it with Rackspace's Cloud Servers and now it's called OpenStack.

Sure. They should issue a $50/ share special dividend, and they'd still have enough left over to buy eBay. It's arrogant corporate behavior that's only being put up with while their growth rate is so high. Watch how quick the knives come

Looking forward to trying it out. Many, many thanks for providing such an excellent tool. I was writing automated tests before Selenium, and it has been a seismic change in browser automation. Between you guys, JMeter, and Robot there r

First, correctly written code can be bad practice. Regexes are a powerful tool, and have appropriate uses. I disagree this is one of those cases, but at -4 on my previous comment, I guess most don't agree. Second, I would bet the majorit

No, using regexes for this is terrible. I could write you a program that will parse html employing GOTOs, but it's been recognized as a bad programming practice. I'm not going to do your research for you, but this is not opinion, it's the

Remember Google Fiber for Communities when you read this. I would be very concerned if I was a cable company. Google would probably be happy enough to give a la carte TV via Hulu and high speed internet for little/no profit as another ad

I agree with you so much that I wrote a substantially identical response to a sibling comment, with the exception being that I neglected to congratulate them on their success. Clearly what they are doing is working for them right now. I h

Well.. I disagree, but I wouldn't have downvoted you because it's a fair point. It's a bad idea for developers to QA their own code for a number of reasons. 1) Developers have cognitive blinders, like everyone else. They might not test fo

You are coming up with a blanket judgement based on a small subset of a post (and in my opinion, not interpreting it as the poster intended). It read to me like he was talking about production usage, not tinkering. Node.js is slower and m

An 'average weekend warrior' or people 'without programming experience' who are daunted by the complexity of Java should not be implementing server applications (see PSN security issues). They are complicated independent of the language, a

Fair enough - I'll call it a failure of imagination for me, then. I saw a DSL that had a BDD syntax for javascript, and thought it was meant to be some form of testing tool. We all have our cognitive blinders :)

_THIS_ It's hard to dumb it down enough for a non-technical user to do anything useful (in which case their tests are frequently invalid in a functional sense even though they're syntactically valid). But by that point you've usually dumbe
356.
by 3am 15y ago
No, I agree completely. My gripe is that the DSL is JS with a fluent interface. You need a DOM context in order to make JS work (unless I'm mistaken) which is why you have tests that drive the browser like Selenium. So you are going to wr

Cucumber is a BDD tool. That stands for Behavior Drive Design, which is what the 'when X expect Y' format is. It's intrinsically a testing tool, where the user acceptance tests are described in a BDD format. It's a subset of TDD.

by 3am 15y ago
I'm in QA - what niche does this fill for you? The reason that I ask is that usually DSLs and other user acceptance tools exist to allow non-programmers to design tests. That is why cucumber's Gherkin is not in a Ruby syntax, and why robot

He doesn't seem like a very decent person based on his online conduct. I don't know why people take what he says seriously at all, he got lucky with Weblogs.com and hasn't done much to distinguish himself after that.
