I like it and use it regularly. Maybe I don't get other harnesses, but in my experience Manus gets shit done, whereas I have to constantly babysit other tools.

It looks interesting, but to be honest - when I wanted to connect Google apps I got warned that the developer is not verified. That's a bad look.

That's interesting. The most I had to do with SikuliX recently is its Robot Framework library, which is very neat way of both keeping the tech somewhat alive and making it easier to write the scripts.

I second that. It's stupid powerful, and costs only 20$ for lifetime licence.

wasn't there a crowd effort to make and mass 3d-print ventilators? I guess I've seen in couple of days ago on reddit

Thanks for asking. I am fine. I've recently changed jobs and now I work from home with occasional travel - and even though it's strenuous, it's much more comfortable. I have flexible hours, fixed pay every month, paid vacations (oh thank gods yes). My kid is gradually getting more social with us (he's almost 3), and spending time with him brings us great joy. We're all healthy, we invest time into our relationship, we do our best to sleep much, exercise, eat well, and it seems to be paying off, which is great, because this time last year we were getting ready to move across border, and soon before the move, we've had a serious health crisis (my wife was hospitalized for 10 day, and got out exactly on the day of the move).

What could be better? Well plenty, of course.

We could be saving money for our own place faster. But we partially use it to enjoy day to day and treat ourselves. I consider it money well spent, regardless of my wife's guilt feeling. We could be spending even more time together. But this is mostly because my wife is currently learning python programming and software testing in order to get back to job hunt. It was a conscious decisions, and her weekend school ends in a couple of weeks anyway. We could be spending more time with our friends. But we're all busy people, and we try to be understanding that it's difficult to find good timeslots.

So, it's all temporary hurdles, not really hardships.

My next comment as a QA: "I told you so"

God, the many times I had told them so months before difficult situations arrived, just to be swiftly ignored by business because some devs didn't want to bother, and wanted to get to more shiny and fancy and interesting problems.

This is such an amazing feature. I wish it got picked up by other major languages and became a standard practice.

Great stuff. But what about alternative python interpreters that have been lagging behind? Jython is 2.7.1 and IronPython is 2.7.9

Ha! My boy (almost 3) may be playing with his legos for whole afternoon, but the moment I peek in the general direction of my laptop, he wants to bang on the keyboard. Not any keyboard (tried that), but my keyboard specifically.

And when it comes to "it depends on the kid", oh dear. I try to practice stoicism whenever I remember about it, and logically I try to remember that I should be grateful for his fussiness and rebelliousness, since they give me occasions to practice my stoicism. But it sure does feel a bit like stockholm syndrome sometimes.

OK, so the main takeaway for me for example would be that if I want write lambdas in Go (because it's awesome), then GCP would be better choice for me.

But anyway, I'm not too current when it comes to lambdas. Are they compiled everytime when cold started, or is a compiled binary stored in some sort of image?

Unrelated, but why on earth is "iNdEx" used almost a million times? Is there a joke that I'm missing at play here?

This reminds me of an old (communist-old) polish joke:

Why are all the houses in the village of Wąchock painted white? Because the mayor thereof heard that "no bomb shall ever fall on a white house"

There were a lot more, including: why are all the houses in Wąchock round? Because the fortuneteller told mayor that he'll get slapped in the face behind the corner.

Oh, fun times. But yes, it's amazingly decandent how all those companies build up their campuses. I have comparison with a german campus in Hamburg, where the feel that I got was more of a tired and forced one, even with all the new developments and efforts to keep it up to date.
