What tools do you use for load testing / benchmarking?

Good example:
I bought two collapsible milk crates. They loaded all my groceries into them in the store.
When I got home and lifted the first crate out of the car, it had too much weight inside, the bottom fell out and two bottles of wine shattered.
I told them the story when returning the crate two weeks later, they waved me off when I said I had a pic, told me it wasn’t necessary, and refunded the wine without being prompted.
Trying to get wine refunded with most other retailer would probably require talking to a manager and making a scene.
Turn it sideways (5 degrees per major release) and keep the colors. Eventually it will be a Play Button.
When I worked for MSN/Hotmail around 2000-2003, there were dozens of helpdesk folks who had access to an admin panel to easily view any email and could view/edit PII for anyone with very little (if not zero) accounting or auditing. It was protected by plaintext auth and open to the internet.
One employee told me that he caught his wife cheating by reading her mail.
Another used it to recover their own stolen EQ account worth thousands.
I personally used this access to help a friend recover a hacked/stolen Hotmail account. I told them the email address, what had happened to it, and they forwarded me a screenshot of their Passport.NET PII details for them to use the self-service password reset.
Obviously not much has changed.
Riding bitch through Hangpu to Pudong with a laptop in one arm while lane splitting with aggressive (and otherwise bad drivers) all around was a rather exciting experience.
Even with a skilled pilot, the adrenaline rush was similar to my first time tandem skydiving.
I'm not sure there's a better spot in Austin to test autonomous cars.
That said, they aren't perfect. 1. They wait just long enough at stop signs when it is their turn, which confuses other drivers. 2. They drive well under the limit, causing small jams at peak congestion.
I had a low spec CPU in the NAS and went through hell and back to build/install/jail a few packages from source (along with their dependancies). It was a steep learning curve and wasn't terribly fun.
When it came time to add a second NAS, I chose Ubuntu and ZFS on Linux. It's been running like a champ for well over a year without a single hiccup. I don't think I've even built a single package ever. Best of both worlds, in my opinion.
I missed repeated posts from a good friend asking for help. If I had seen them, I would have been there in 10 minutes. They committed suicide exactly 1 month ago. Just goes to show how incredibly important some algorithms can be.
"Is Plex Home Theater still around? Plex Home Theater is still available and open source. We’re no longer actively developing it and are focusing our efforts on making Plex Media Player the best experience possible. (We’ll continue to make bug fixes for PHT for now.)"
Accident ahead. Object on road ahead. Car stopped on shoulder ahead.
There will be a way for self driving cars to broadcast these types of alerts for human drivers. I would expect that the self driving car would attempt to preserve itself (and prevent harm to its occupants) before trying to protect a human driver from harm.
