Not only that rule. Also the specific rule that they agreed to which was to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty if they gave up their nukes.

In fairness, they are also betraying the poor people in the rich countries too. And everyone else who has kids and grand kids to inherit the mess.

If Trump is a Russian asset as we all believe then Putin will have irrefutable proof that would be able to put Trump in prison.

He’s also likely to have evidence of other crimes that everyone is pretty sure that he has done and is doing.

A lot of the publicly available stuff has a lack of evidence, a lack of motivation to get the evidence or a lack of will to impeach and prosecute a sitting president. It’s possible that Putin could release enough information to overcome those barriers.

I think that the main difference is that developers tend to test for success (i.e. does it work as defined) and that testers should also test that it doesn’t fail when a user gets hold of it.

I have worked with some excellent testers but I have also worked with a team that literally required us to write down the tests for them.

To be fair, that wasn’t their fault because they weren’t testers. They were finance people that had been seconded to testing because we didn’t have a real test team.

The current team is somewhere in between.

I wish our test team was like that. Ours would respond with something like “How would I test this?”

That’s what I was thinking except I was thinking about the military. Why are the numbers for health so much lower than for war. It’s not a little lower it’s multiple zeroes lower and that’s not just the US. The UK is paying $22m to the WHO but has a military budget more than 3,000 times larger!

What Hamas did is very excusable.

They killed and kidnapped civilians which isn’t excusable. It would have been excusable to attack the military, not civilians.

Also various places want their stolen objects back from our museums.

Finders keepers shut up!

The West can’t trust America anymore when they used to be the most reliable partner which shows that everyone needs to reduce their reliance on external states as much as possible.

We relied on Russia for energy when they weren’t a friendly country. We still rely on China for tech and manufacturing and they can’t be described as friendly. And then we find out that we’re too reliant on USA who also turned out to be unfriendly.

I don’t think that those are mutually exclusive options.

It definitely shouldn’t have been decided with a 52% majority on a 72% turnout.

This is very frustrating! I get so many requests from customers asking why we returned response code 400 when we gave a description of the problem in the response body.

I remember when our company split up and we had to give them the source code of some older versions that they still used. We couldn’t do that because the repo was corrupt meaning that we couldn’t access some older revisions. We had no problems using it day to day so nobody noticed which meant that all backups were also corrupted.

Yeah. The absolute best that they can hope for is a Belarus like puppet state.

And they don’t even try to make the lies sound plausible anymore.

“Just remove all of your ways of defending yourself and we’ll not attack you”. Which is the exact same agreement that they had before they stole Crimea but I guess that they really mean it this time?

I think that a lot of the west said that Israel has their support provided that they respect international law even though it was obvious that they weren’t obeying the law and never intended to.

I think that means that he achieved at least one mission objective then.

The options are many and not just “breed yourself into poverty” and “everyone die childless until the human race goes extinct”.

It works ok for me.
