I’m not a fan of our (the US) involvement in this conflict. That said it seems like a properly executed precision strike. The school is 200m from the Tomahawk impact. Is the intent of the article to showcase American precision or to imply the school was hit? I’m confused.
I worked in the Pennzoil building (mentioned). It was a horrible waste of space, for what? A couple of nondescript black triangles? They could have had so much more leasable space and the floors wouldn't have been these odd shaped low ceiling caverns to make up for the loss of useable space. Just think, each of those triangular towers needs its own core with plumbing and elevator shafts. Good grief.
"Coincidentally, Lynch's co-defendant, Stephen Chamberlain, who was also acquitted, died the day of the storm after being hit by a car on Saturday morning in Stretham, England."
Coincidentally indeed.
"Other missing individuals have been identified by The Independent as: Christopher Morvillo, a lawyer who had represented Lynch and wife Neda Morvillo; Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of investment bank Morgan Stanley International and wife Judy Bloomer."
Has anyone else read the story of the astronaut onboard ISS who lost it (if I recall it was over a romantic interest) and destroyed the toilet and drilled a hole in the space station?
I’ve spent a fair number of years doing corporate cucumber training.
At every client I emphatically insist that if they are not using Gherkin as a “Rosetta stone” for the business folks then they’re wasting their time with cucumber. Don’t go to the trouble of writing gherkin if you’re not using it as living documentation. Save yourself loads of trouble and just use an ordinary test framework.
I’ll tell you how, because I had a client in this exact situation. The business just sees fluctuations in sales. They don’t see error rates. In traditional businesses SW engineering keeps the dynatrace logs close to the vest.
I convinced a dev to walk me through their dynatrace console. I dug in and took screenshots then gave them to h to the business. The business demanded access to dynatrace and then was able to correlate error rates with revenue fluctuations (down to the hour of the day, people are habitual). They came up with a cost factor and figured out how much they’re losing. This led to budget being allocated for a project to solve these problems. I bid on the work but was denied. The VP of IT at this point hated me.
I was showing this exact problem to my wife, a moment after trying to order something from The Container Store and their website being broken, just after trying to pay a bill and that website not working too.
