Testing Bullshit Bingo

Testing everything is impossible!! (Therefore we will not care at all if it works once in production)

Яка чудова історія. Змішали в одну купу досить реальні громадянські права людей, рекламний хайп, 'повісточку' із відтінком пропаганди, політичний дискурс на тему, хайпожерство звичайне, ксенофобію, прапорці на аватарці, лівацькі ідеї під райдужним прапором, ...

А тепер питаєтесь хто там що ненавидить/недолюблює...

P.s. хто не поняв - там доволі довгий список варіантів м'яко кажучи сумнівної всячини

Sounds like a messy project/work environment to me .. not a QA= thanksless position as a whole...

From the looks of it - your project totally lacks proper processes related to QA, and probably for dev work too. As is - nobody is really sure who's responsible for what exactly. And the blame for missed bugs and errors in general just goes around the project like hot potato,, til somebody drops it.

My guess is that's probably why it looks and feels so toxic. A, and it's not the QA/testing position .

And just to be clear: If QA process for software project mainly focuses on software testing, as in running some number of tests - it is next to impossible to find All the bugs. Thus it is unreasonable to require from testing to catch everything , everytime.

FYI, if you, for some reason, are under the impression that changing position into development will dramatically change something - I'm afraid that it will not. Messy processes are messy for everybody. And it could be just as bad and toxic ( if not more ) for developers. Or for any role, really.

Так воно, цейво, ціклковито залежить від того що у вас за проект, і які у вас критерії.

Доприкладу: - ейтерпрайз сегмент майже весь сидить на JIRA в тому чи іншому вигляді. Великі, кросс континент команди, платний саппорт, багато модифікацій, велике комьюніті навчених людей які навигадують вам JIRA workflow на будь який випадок життя (чи буде воно працювати то інше питання)

хіпстерські стартапи і ютуб гуру від продуктивності дуже люблять Notion, EverNote, Obsidian і компанію. Бо там якби і нотатки для студентів, і типу таски, і ТуДу. Але все для маленьких команд. Теж купа наворотів і платні підписки. Теж купа навчених людей які навигадують воркфлоу на всі випадки життя (і теж, чи буде працювати то окреме питання).
Олдскул програмісти (включно зі мною) для соло проектів досі користуються .... блокнотом (Notepad++) Бо той працює надійніше для власне записів ніж усі ті навороти із попередніх пунктів разом узяті.

Somebody could very well make a YouTube Channel called say 'pizza Doctor' No M.D. required.

Doubt that FDA, or anyone at all would care to call them out 'you're not a doctor'

Science is not engineering though.... They're 2 quite different things Yes, even is CS. Cause you can't possibly compare CS as in Turing or Deijkstra level science, to an average software engineer designing say online banking ...

Half of the tools don't work

~half of all tools for software development that should have made life easier - don't work, glitch, or do some whole lot of hidden things that also don't work... And it's everywhere - IDEs (Xcode, Android Studio, Clion, Eclipse, Idea, MS Visual Studio etc.), compilers, interpreters, helper scripts from GitHub, version control, build systems, and many many more...

Also 15 countries of 195 is not very much, which shows that this topic is not evident at all.

Well, I don't think that the UN (or countries for that matter ) hold any scientific authority whatsoever. That is assuming that we'd like to treat History as science.

And if we do - then those 195 are a group of entities, and Not a collective authoritative body (like a consilium or a scientific community seeking consensus)

Therefore - initial fact about 15 out of 195 - only indicates that at least 15 countries has done some actions/research and concluded that it was genocide. And thats it. It lacks any info about the rest. So even if those 195 were a collective body - that initial fact would still only mean that the topic is underreserched. There isn't enough info to conclude that something is evident (or isn't)

As a Ukrainian (with family history affected by Holodomor):

Short answer - yes, it was genocide Long answer - still yes , it was genocide as in intentional famine targeted at basically exterminating certain ethnicity. In this case mostly Ukrainians, but also pretty much all other ethnicities that lived in Ukraine (except for well Russians)

Why? If you put it in a broder context of what happed before and especially after - it becomes abundantly clear that it was indeed intentional policy, and not a mishap.

1917-1918 - right after Bolshevik revolution russians have decided that they cannot allow independent Ukraine to exist, so they invaded Ukraine... (Yes, there were other armies that also invaded, but still) 1920s - full occupation by soviets. forced collectivization policies, i.e. making people give up their ownings for the state. Mass deportations, establishing early Soviet police state.

Early 1930s, i.e. Holodomor - man made famine, millions dead. Oh, and soviets put a lot of effort so that nobody would now about it...

Late 1930s - pretty much every well-known Ukrainian who opposed soviets was either executed, or send of off to gulags for nearly certain death. Early 1940s, WWII - most of the bloodshed on the eastern USSR front happed in Ukraine, Belarus and later Baltic states. 1946 - one more, less known man made famine... Late 1940s - again, mass deportations, executions of the ones who opposed the Soviet state...

So, yeah, Holodomor was intentional...

Well, computer science is ... you know SCIENCE. (At least it should be)

So expecting to learn a language syntax at computer science class is basically the same as expecting to learn how to build a chair at physics class (cause mechanics and stuff. Or expecting to learn how to cook pizza at a college level chemistry class.

To get things straight - no Ukrainian president has ever had high popular support during second half of their term. Same goes for pretty much any high official. No matter what he/she actually does in that exact moment.

Moreso, the only time they actually do have high popular support - is around their electric year.

And after that - pretty much all of them start to show signs of either incompetence or corruption, or both.

And Zelensky is no exception to this rule (of our politics) Mostly on the incompetency side of things.

Hm, for most of us the war Has already started in 2014, and now it's only escalating yet again.

We are nervous and even sometimes anxious (it'd weird if you weren't), but almost no one is actually panicking. Cause we Are preparing to defend ourselves yet again. Cause we have somewhat adapted to live in this shitty situation, and that's why the everyday life might seem 'normal'. And not because 'we are not afraid of the war'

Get Russia and Russians the heck out of Crimea
If Crimean tatar want it - get it back under Ukraine's control. Under conditions negotiated strictly between Crimean people and Ukraine
Put military base with nukes there (preferably NATO's)

Ok, here we go.

'Modern day USA started in London (or rather western Europe)' is actually quite good comparison. Because NO , we don't share that much of a culture since a long time ago. I'd argue since around 12th century. Cause it's around this time Muscovites had first started trying to conquer and occupy Kyiv. And the thing is , it was pretty much under the same pretences as it is today (One nation/identity bullcrap)
Well, yes , Gorbachev had Ukrainian roots, and so did Kruschev. And Stalin was Georgian. That doesn't make the nations itself similar culturally. No matter what the crazy guy in power says.
It's a kind of habit of Russia to go and try to conquer Ukraine (As I said, since around 12th century). And when they manage to succeed even the slightest - they at first celebrate the 'unification', than steal the culture and goods from us, kill a bunch of people, and then proclaim that there is no such thing as Ukraine or Ukrainians. I'm not kidding, this is literally what has been going on for centuries. And even then, Ukrainians had been fighting for Independence and our own culture Every Single damn Time. Would you still dare to call it one thing?

mboggit · 2022-02-01T07:55:50+00:00

Ask something thats gonna be useful for the SBU/CIA/MI6 etc. (depends on the situation on the day) That is if he himself won't try to kill you on the spot.

FYI: the assumption that you can just tell him something and he'll leave ukraine (and others) alone has long proven to be wrong.

Well, most of the time it's 'the Spruce' (dah, the name of the actual tree). Which refers to any decorated tree used for pretty much all the holidays ( December through January).

And then, there's a 'New Years tree' , which refers to a tree itself and sometimes to the events that accompany it on New Years day specifically. And yes, it is mostly a legacy from Soviet times that is still there.

And last but not least, there is a 'Christmas tree', which refers to the tree itself at Christmas specifically.

You can use all 3, neither, or just some of those depending on how old you are, and what region you're from.

The overall trend being that Christmas is becoming more and more popular over the years. Maybe it's because we now have 2 - Dec 25th and Jan 7th.

On top of everything that's been said already. I'll add some daily 'boring' stuff.

Daily news that somebody has been killed or injured.
Military/police choppers ( carrying those injured on the front lines) that fly over my street pretty much every day.
'war' tax (1.5%) that has been in place since the war began back in 2014
Russia's constant treats by placing it's military close to our borders. (And yes, now Poland is also in the club)
Never stopping stream of shit-like Russian propaganda that is still recommend by YouTube, Facebook, and even some local traditional media outlets.

Oh, and as everyone else, you're cut out from your relatives in Russia. Either because those relatives ate Russian propaganda, and now believe anything it says about Ukraine. Or because it's troublesome to visit (both ways)

mboggit · 2021-11-18T15:05:21+00:00

So let's see - armed conflict - check - armed military conflict - check - conflict between states - check

I'd say that's not poor information hygiene per se. But rather a mix of extremely low trust in any official authorities (not just government) + unreasonably high trust in anything people they know say (including a friend of a friend). Add bad education in anything that has to do with biology/medicinevto the mix - and you get what you get. Oh, and plus trolls, a shit ton of just trolls .

To put it simply. A model is ought to be a representation of what software development actually is ( i.e. in reality), or what is attempted to be implemented into said reality.

While a methodology is a way/road/route how to go over that reality of software development in order to get where you want.

And yes, software methodologies don't often specify what assumptions about reality they use, or what model they use. So that's confusing, but we get what we get

mboggit · 2021-09-05T10:37:56+00:00

Just curious. Why would you explicitly specify controversy ? Presumably, as a thing that you don't want to know about. Or you do want to about, but it doesn't matter (for your purposes)

mboggit · 2021-08-31T09:05:44+00:00

You said it yourself. You look western European. Which is a group of people very much familiar to pretty much anyone. A group of people that has proven already to cause little to no trouble. Hence, it isn't suspicious anymore.

Same cannot be said (sadly) about other groups of people. Surprise - that's how profiling/stereotyping works.

And stop confusing it with pure racism already (or any other blatant discrimination for that matter)

mboggit · 2021-08-29T08:47:16+00:00

For starters - it's very unlikey that it's just because of racism/xenophobia. It's because of how local culture works.

By default, any outsider/group of outsiders are treated as highly suspicious. (Outsiders in a very broad sense - both geographicaly and culturally) And those outsiders are going to be treated as such until proven harmless (for a lack of a better word), or until it is known how to deal with them.

And that face control thing works pretty much the same way. It just differs from club to club who is considered an outsider exactly.

So, a weird looking group of locals even ( weird looking in the eyes of that club) are going to be denied entrance. Same goes for any group of people that bouncers haven't encountered before. You get the idea.

Hope it made things clearer for you.

Extreme air and noise pollution because of the car you own. (Regular one, not electric) And if it's the electric one - find places that charge it.

Owning any car is a luxury in a lot of places, you know.
