This is why mathematics-based technology like TLA+ is going to be big in the future once it matures I believe. Once it does unit testing will only be necessary to ensure the implementation in code adheres to the logical specification.

Technically speaking, Office in the Windows Store is in "preview" -- a Microsoft support article states that "while Office itself is not in preview, Office is using new install and update processes that are in preview." Now people can finally install it!

Python is a nice and clean language. I use it all the time for various infrastructure/test/configuration work and now even a web back-end.
Too bad they broke backward compatibility and made the shift from Python 2 to 3 a nightmare.

Development platform company Sencha has released the results of a new survey carried out by Dimensional Research, looking at current attitudes and common experiences surrounding the testing of web applications. I've never seen a web application with quality issues
They are all perfectly functioning ramshackle Rube Goldberg constructions of languages being used for purposes they were never intended, or that should never have seen the light of day.

So you're saying that something that's a generic object you plug into USB ports has all the same hazards of any other generic object that you plug into a USB port.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Seventeen years after the Year 2000 bug came and went, the federal government will finally stop preparing for it. "Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other."
Yes, likely dangerously close to the "no politics" rule, but ... yeesh, people. Couldn't you have stopped this a few years back?
