bickeringyokel··on How we test the TeamCity UI
Am I misunderstanding, or are snapshots basically just schema validation?

Isn't that essentially start happenning in the EAP phase?

Care to elaborate on that?
bickeringyokel··on The Value of Life
Not sure what you mean by, the rest of your life, driving a bit slower to save lives is a fraction of your life spent. I guess there's probably some moral equation being levied when people decide speed limits, but it probably has more to do with minimizing deaths rather than comparing the value of time.

The value is a matter of perception. The facts are not a matter of perception.
bickeringyokel··on Frustration project: Automate data entry into PeopleSoft with Selenium
When you start using xpath that's 20 parents deep and every line of code scrolls off the page you quickly realize how important it is for your devs to to write good accessible and unique element IDs.

If I understand what you're saying, I think it's a stretch to say that "wasted time" is the same as literally not existing.

Sometimes it's fun to do things that are pointless.
bickeringyokel··on Canadians working from home permanently should expect salary changes: experts
I don't think they's a problem with hiring workers based on market wages, but we're talking about these companies who seek to disincentivize existing remote workers and take advantage of the current situation to decrease worker salaries while keeping them on board. If your worker is remote, their location doesn't matter so long as they have a good internet connection. This all comes across as opportunistic and bordering on coercive. Honestly wage decreases in general seem exploitative since the worker doesn't really hold much bargaining power especially in an economic downturn.
bickeringyokel··on Storage Matters: Why Xbox and Playstation SSDs Usher in a New Era of Gaming
Personally, watching a friend roam around the world map of final fantasy VII, I had never seen a game like that in my life. I couldn't stop thinking about it. Even goldeneye couldn't talk me out of getting a PS1 after that.

"There's too many to name!"is a pretty lazy cop out.
bickeringyokel··on Google's Abandoned Android Authenticator App
I realize not everyone wants to leave Gmail, but another reason I'm thinking of using tutanota aside from e2e encryption is you can create a second user that's tied to your master account. You can reset the passwords of your sub accounts from the main accout if they are compromised.. of course you have to pay for multiple accounts though.
bickeringyokel··on Little Ideas
"The 90-9-1 Rule: In social media networks, 90% of users just read content, 9% of users contribute a little content, and 1% of users contribute almost all the content."

What percentage of people started typing something, deleted it, started typing something else, then gave up when they realized they had nothing of value to contribute or out of fear of rejection?

I use navigation to avoid heavy traffic. Most of the time it changes nothing but sometimes saves 30 minutes of driving.
