(Joke) Can't AI just replace QA?

In my experience, I find that management doesn't understand this, or otherwise thinks it's an okay compromise. This usually comes with the organization hiring testers with a low bar, "sink or swim" approach.

> At Google, for example, 16% of tests exhibited flakiness This really surprised me. In my experience, usually a flaky test indicates some kind of race condition, and often a difficult-to-reproduce bug. In the past year, we had a flaky u

> A lot of QA have expressed that devs 'look down' on them. I can't comment on that, but the signal-to-noise ratio of bug tickets is so low, that often it's you have to do their job and repeat everything as well. When

As a developer, I frequently tell higher ups that "I have a conflict of interest" when it comes to testing. Even though I fully attempt to make perfect software, often I have blind spots or assumptions that an independent tester f

It makes me wonder what his home environment was like where he could put such detail into a painting. Something like that isn't made in an afternoon or weekend; and it definitely requires parents to provide resources and moral support.

Without context, it looks like the interviewer was a jerk and ambushed him. I've seen plenty of stalling like that on major news programs, and the interviewer always knows to move on (and possibly edit something in to provide context.)

I have a heat pump dryer, and I can confirm no shrinkage. It's very gentle on clothes, but it does take a bit longer to dry.

Oh gosh, yes, I agree, it's best to severely limit your contact. I hope your experience with your built family lasts for the rest of your life.

FYI: You can't get the cons that they sold about a decade ago. They changed the sole a bit so they are now "slippers" in order to avoid tariffs. (I also suspect there's a reason why they also sell "boots" too.)

Within a few days it appeared that the update was recalled. It was the bad update that made videos start playing as soon as you selected them, instead of going to the information page. I get the impression I wasn't the only person wh

An easy way to do this is to get an inexpensive DVD / BluRay player and disks. My (expensive) BluRay player will turn the TV on and select itself via HDMI.

When Netflix released an awful update that had that problem, I called and threatened to cancel.

It's a combination of a few things: There's a massive amount of junk food and ultra-processed food in grocery stores, even though (rough estimate) 50% of floorspace is "raw" food. (Fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, fish

I generally prefer reading, but I don't judge people who prefer listening. My wife sometimes plays audiobooks for our kids, I read them.

Because if you don't make periodic cosmetic changes, people will think you're going out of business. It's why your favorite shoe company, that you buy from every 2-3 years when you wear out your favorite shoes, always has new

I'm mostly happy with OneDrive on Mac. I lead a major competitor to OneDrive back in the day, so that's saying a lot. I still have to restart it from time to time, though.

Oh, SQLite (as a database) is easy compared to a client-server database, or an "embedded" database that runs in a separate process. The issue is more of the object-relational impedance mismatch that happens when using any SQL data

Shortly before I started paying for YouTube, I remember seeing one of those ultra-long ads. The ad seemed interesting, so at first I didn't want to skip it. As soon as I saw that it was a looooong ad I got into the habit of checking th

I hate to be negative, but this just seems reminiscent of consumer video game hype in the 1990s; where things never lived up to the hype.

Honestly, instead of porting SQLite to Rust, IMO, it makes more sense to make an easier-to-use embedded database (in Rust) first.

I bought my corded electric leaf blower about 10 years ago, before battery leaf blowers were reasonably priced and light enough to hold. The irony: I often run my corded electric leaf blower off of my portable generator just so I can check

Sometimes simple things are best. I really like the game as-is. This is a rather simple game to program. IMO, if you can program, take a few weekends to make your own game based on your ideas. If you can't program, your ideas will lead

I think you're misinterpreting the situation, because I didn't "overstep" my manager, and in a small company everyone has a relationship with everyone. (IE, what I did was taking initiative and making good use of dead ti
