I agree with you to some extent, but my point was that devs are more expensive than QAers and that finding a bug by a developer is not 'very cheap'. If a developer is doing extensive rote testing that could easily be done by people costing a fifth of what he costs, he is wasting company money.
Either the employee bragged or the action set off a trip wire, meaning that particular account was closely monitored by Twitter.
It is the Twitter account of Moron-in-chief Donald Trump. The entire fucking world is closely monitoring it.
I'm too lazy to check, but I'm guessing that it took 1 minute for somebody somewhere on Twitter to notice the account returned 'does not exist' and 2 minutes for somebody to tweet about it. Within 6 minutes this has bubbled up to some authority figure at Twitter via Twitter and emails. 5 minutes later the issue and short term solution have been fleshed out and implented.
As for me, I really wish that I could afford the optical USB cables I've seen on Amazon to try to reduce the mouse interference. Otherwise, I may have to open up the wall in the washroom and better shield the cables from the power line.
This might be a shocking suggestion, but how about just moving your PC to where you use it? Crazy, I know.
Seriously though (I'm assuming you have a good reason not to move your PC upstairs): USB-over-Ethernet and HDMI-over-Ethernet combined with CAT7 cables (for the HDMI part) may be better options.
The obvious solution is to let clients limit CPU usage for JS per tab, especially inactive/invisible tabs.
For instance, apart from whitelisted domains, every page switch gets 5 seconds of unlimited CPU usage for JS and is then throttled down to 1%. Added bonus is that it incentivizes efficiently coded JS in general whilst also protecting against JS mining and other JS CPU cycle stealing.
One could imagine finegrained clientside control of how much CPU time a certain website may consume, combined with the website providing tangible rewards for the CPU cycles. A sort of Patreon service with CPU cycles, if you will.
Why not let the video remain visible as I peruse comments?

I'm not familiar with Teams, but Slack is dreadful in the area of resource usage as well.
It currently hogs 1.5GB of my memory, with just 4 teams (of which 1 is defunct and not used at all) and absolutely nothing fancy going on (one or two images shared each day is about it).
The intellectually highly questionable level to which deniers go to cling on to their own relevance is tiring. It's always 'humans are and will forever be really really special!' It's neo-luddism, nothing more.
Customizing foobar2000 can be pretty 'technical' (holding shift when accessing the menus, really?), but once you get it the way you want it, it works almost perfectly.
Sure. Worst conditions. Trump's party has a majority in the Senate and in Congress. Given the legislative disasters we've seen up until now from those Republican majorities, it is clear which side is 'an impediment to progress at every turn'.
Seattle to Los Angeles should be very doable by train, but it currently takes twice as long as it does by car. Amsterdam to Madrid is a similar distance, but it is fairly easily two hours quicker by train than by car.
Although it has to be said that once you venture into the Balkan area or Scandinavia, things get tricky fairly quickly if you want to travel by train.
Actually, people in Italy and Japan work 60 to 70 hours less a year according to your own source. If you accept that as 'similar', then the US is also similar to: - Lithuania and Estonia (these were Sovjet states less than 30 years ago) - Turkey - Hungary All these places have a minimum wage of below 500 EUR/month.
Furthermore: - Italy isn't doing too well economically. Southern Italy in particular isn't really a shining example. - Japan has a cultural problem of overworking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Ireland is probably the only real odd one out here.
I'm pretty sure there is a lot more nuance to this than just the simple aggregate numbers. I'm going to go ahead and guess that there is also a huge difference in 'working hour inequality': In some countries working 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meet is a fairly common thing ( https://toughnickel.com/findin... ). In Northwestern Europe that is a completely foreign and backwards concept.
Finally, your source explicitly states that comparisons such as yours and mine cannot be made reliably: "The data are intended for comparisons of trends over time; they are unsuitable for comparisons of the level of average annual hours of work for a given year, because of differences in their sources and method of calculation."

Finding and fixing a bug here is very cheap.
Not always, though. Developers are way more expensive than QAers.
The problem isn't just with abuse of technology: the problem is abuse of capitalism of every sort.
FTFY.

Mindblowingly overfitted, probably.
You should buy her a Macbook Wheel! She is the perfect consumer for it.
Yep.
It wasn't ubiquitous in the sense that people used it, it was ubiquitous in that pretty much any audio related device had a toslink port.

Q:
How does one get to use it? I use Chrome.
A:
Use a User CSS extension/addon/plugin of choice.
So: Google "chrome user css extension".
I personally use this one: https://chrome.google.com/webs...

Step 1 is actually:
1) Become an anorganic 'species'.
Everything else is much, much easier after that.

Thank you.
Regressing to the primitive and to what 'feels good' is the problem, not the solution.
Thank you.

Even jumping across from tower to tower in Doom still gives me a thrill.
Jumping? In the original Doom series?
I must be misunderstanding what you were saying, because jumping is not possible in Doom 1 or Doom 2.
As with many things, Foobar2000 can be extended and configured to have such a view:

A nice view that is in between album cover browsing and a straight text based playlist is achievable with Simplaylist:

(see the screenshots here: http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/ind... )
Customizing foobar2000 can be pretty 'technical' (holding shift when accessing the menus, really?), but once you get it the way you want it, it works almost perfectly.
Sure. Worst conditions. Trump's party has a majority in the Senate and in Congress.

There doesn't seem to be any reason to buy it beyond brand loyalty to AMD, should you be so inclined.
FreeSync support is a reason (for some).
More reliable automated testing of web applications.

Typically used in combination with Selenium.
I'm glad you had positive experiences. Your anecdotal evidence doesn't cut it, though.

Indeed.
