In the project, we spend 3.3 days/day on running tests - around 140,000 tests per commit/PR. In addition to what every developer runs in their own systems of course.

Our test failure rate in CI jobs is at 0.004%, which is annoyingly high when running this many tests.

@bagder That's a great presentation. Lots of interesting stats and insights. The 3.3 days/day stat is incredible.

One of my "tricks" to stay sane is to make sure the list of open issues and PRs is always short (<100). Things that go stale and nobody is working on will get moved to documents and queues elsewhere. I know this is sometimes controversial, but it helps us communicate what is actually being worked on and it keeps maintainers from overload.

martinpeck,
@martinpeck@fosstodon.org avatar

@bagder clearly communicating what's not being worked on/considered is just as important and letting people know what you are working on. A quick and clear "thank you, but no" is better than watching your issue or PR rot over time.

I'm frustrated with issue search. I am looking for issues on repo that contains "sort" or "sorting". Github says there is no issue containing "sort" or "sorting"

but I have found this:

@Mehrad Not sure why you see nothing. Your search URL works for me and finds both open and closed issues.

martinpeck,
@martinpeck@fosstodon.org avatar

@Mehrad Yep. 2 open, 7 closed. I see this both signed in, and in an InCognito session too. Hopefully just a caching issue that won't happen again.

Trying out 2x portrait monitors and one landscape in the middle.

So far really enjoying it.

Portrait is pretty cool for long issues with lots of comments and same for long code files.

If a vampire is unable to grow hair after being turned because they are dead then how are they going to replace the hair they loose in day to day life?

What do they do if they break a nail?

Why, when I read a book with this version of vampire lore about three years ago, can I not stop thinking about this?

martinpeck,
@martinpeck@fosstodon.org avatar

@Clare @twipped @kate don’t they revert/reset to their turned state? It’s not healing; it’s more like an “undo”. So, break a nail and then it reappears after they undo that change.

@pvizeli Many people post here with a tagged post to introduce themselves, and declare their interests (and then pin that post on their profile).

I've found this platform to be very different to Twitter...almost always in a good way. I hope you do too!

Last night I discovered my christening candle in a box of childhood items my parents gave me. This morning the bathroom lightbulb died while I was having a shower. So now, for the second time in my life, I’m getting washed by the light of a christening candle.

Lenny's is generally great, but this episode really resonated with me. In particular, the discussion about the need for simplicity in both software and organisations, and how hard you need to work to make it happen.

If you listen to nothing else, listen to these two sections:

(37:26) Fighting the second law of thermodynamics
(40:29) The importance of simplicity in running a business

Helping a colleague troubleshoot an oddity - trying to get the details of a Key Vault using the with az keyvault show --name X but it errors out saying that an unrelated resource group could not be found. (Apparently the resource group did exist at one point, but has been deleted)

az keyvault list is empty, as is list-deleted, but the vault definitely exists.

It always surprises me when someone up-votes something I asked/answered on Stack Overflow over 15 years ago! It's even more crazy when they reply to one of my 15 year-old-comments.

Knowing that something I said, over a decade ago, has helped someone today is amazing.

Does GitHub not have a “merge after CI checks pass” button? That’s kind of surprising. I think I’ve been using this feature on GitLab CI for about as long as I can remember.

There are so many scams ads on Instagram especially those ads impersonating MrBeast and scamming people and when users report them the broken report system says it doesn't violate guidelines every time.

That's one of the reasons why people should delete Instagram account.

Unfortunately Meta hasn't changed anything after the Digital Marketing Act and charges users even more for ad free subscription and this is only available in EU, EEA and Switzerland!

Switch to apps like SimpleX!

@davidh_tech In my experience of reporting various things on Instagram, there's almost nothing that violates Instagram guidelines.
