In the first, there was no testing, aside from the trivial. Oddly enough, a lack of formal testing is described as being a symptom of not having "a local version to play with." In the second, the test environment was used in production ("So that we didn’t have to wait for the timer to fire “naturally” when we were testing, we were using RunOnStartup = true"). And in the third, there is no test environment.

Show me whatever numbers you're using to bolster that assertion and then show me the same metrics for the California Correctional Peace Officers Association (CCPOA).

Microsoft's understanding of what an operating system is and how it facilitates a user's interaction with their computing hardware has been completely misguided over the last decade. So much so that I can't tell if this headline describes something good, in the sense of salutary neglect, or whether it's a euphemistic summation of what's been done since Windows 7 (taking a considered, and profoundly user-centric approach toward OS design has been eschewed and given short shrift in favor of animated sprites in the start menu, for example).

Love the last paragraph:

The decision of the Republican government may have been politically motivated; after all, these were the same people who condemned Lavoisier to the guillotine. In any case, we are now stuck with the infelicity of a base unit whose name has a "prefix".

"The US medical industry is a racket that uses patient fear and vulnerability to commit robbery. Doctors who keep themselves aloof from the dirty business of where their paychecks come from are just as complicit as the ripoff hospitals that employ them. Just because someone else slices up the the body before you eat it, doesn’t mean you’re not a cannibal."

Had you described this to me in conversation, I'd have been incredulous.
