I'm a customer for more than a year and never had any noticeable outages-issues so far. A few times, I encountered issues in their UI, but I'm also using the beta-version so that's to be expected. FYI, there's also an aw

That the mink industry still existed in this day and age in a country such as Denmark was in my opinion a complete travesty to begin with. Having all these animals in ridiculously small cages just for the sake of their fur - the cruelty is

In essence I agree with you, but let's not forget that in most countries, the government has already complete (albeit strongly regulated) control and access to postal services and everything that is sent through them, and I think most

Not sure if the Dunning-Kruger effect can be applied to everything (such as: humour, grammar, etc., as listed in the article), but I think pretty much everyone who has played any kind of video game (Dota, LoL, Star Craft, CS:GO, etc.) in a

The same happened to me; one of my liked bands apparently released an album; it then turns out that it was some other band that just happened to have the same name. Seems they compare band-names instead of some unique-ids; no idea how they

Couldn't agree more. Spotify is one of those products that I sort of almost can't live without but yet it's painful how bad they have become in the last couple of years. Instead of improving the service and customer experienc

Found this to be extremely helpful for PR-reviews; I have sometimes difficulties when writing sentences in order to not come across too harsh/snarky/negative etc., but with GIFs/pictures, it's easy to involve some humor

What do you mean with "check the backend"? You can e.g. do assertions on HTTP-responses coming from the backend - is this what you head in mind? If you want to test the backend on its own, I personally would recommend using a diff

I found their idea about defining commands very odd, but when we ignored these entirely and just went with the good old page pattern, the tests became very tame again. All the cypress-internals are done in small methods within page-objects,

As a Swiss - yup, it's just for show & nostalgia. In my opinion, it will take another 20-30 years of wasted money for this charade until the cold-war-era folks start to become a minority; then we can finally dump our armed boy scou

While such stories and the pictures posted here are rather interesting, as a Swiss, I also find it at the same time quite depressing. The Swiss army is a bottomless barrel when it comes to funding; always requiring & demanding money, wh

Because the idea of UBI is that it's universal basic income, which keeps you fed and a roof over your head and other such basic things. I heavily doubt that the mentioned 30-40% of the population are okay to live with the bare minimu

That struck me as especially egregious; even if the e-book-version was legitimate, why on earth would anyone think that merging these reviews is a good idea? Some tech books are, in my opinion, terrible for e-book without adjustments and
