   I wouldn't call your second case unit testing, but rather integration testing. Part of the point of unit testing is that you keep the 'unit' under test to be as small as possible so you don't have these sorts of problems

   I have to second this. I've had multiple runs at standing desks, and the only time I've been able to hack it for full days is when I was already doing squat exercises.

   AFAIK, the reason why it wasn't was that it would ruin the supply chains of the other automakers.

   I know a joke similar to that. Q. How do you keep goats from escaping their enclosure? A. Rinse goat meat well, rub lime juice over it (from 1/2 whole lime), place meat in a bowl, then add salt, black pepper, Scotch bonnet, thyme, alls

    I think you mean Robin Thicke. But now I have the theme to Growing Pains stuck in my head, so thank you for that. :)

    ZFS has ditto blocks, too. Surely having parity striping and ditto blocks both is better than just ditto blocks pretending to be parity striping.

    And yet somehow they seem to have gotten it to work. I run a few Zookeeper-based systems where ZK just seems to work and I don't have to look at logging statements, either. I've never dealt with Zookeeper downtime that wasn't

    Well, you've described how zk doesn't meet the needs of your software as written, but I'm not sure you've established why Mesos would be better off without it...

    > It's ironic that ZK requires such consistency when the goals of Mesos are exactly the opposite. Is it ironic? Seems to me that if you want to have a distributed cluster that can deal with worker failure and still be useful, you ne

    I moved from 1Password to LastPass for a few reasons not related to UX: 1. Platform support: 1Password only supports Windows and OS X. I use more than those, and want to maintain the ability to jump between platforms at will. 2. Pay twice f

    Wanting an IDE is not the same thing as needing an IDE to be able to work. You're excluding a rather big middle, there.

    I don't recall any problems, but I use Foxyproxy to connect to it. In the worst case, you can just toggle it off quickly for that site, then turn it on again.

    I decided to dump extension-based privacy stuff and installed Privoxy instead. I used to have Ghostery, Disconnect, ABP, and some other things running simultaneously. When you think about it, that's a lot of JS running and iterating th
