I used to be a contractor and was sometimes bad at processing timesheets and invoices.
I had one occasion where I had (numbers made up because it was ages ago) £100 in the business bank account with no overdraft facility when a £150 payment went out.
The payment went out putting me overdrawn. They waited a day before deciding that I wasn’t allowed an overdraft and putting the money back.
During that 24 hour period a payment for £25 was processed and blocked because I was overdrawn.
They then charged me two fees for refusing the payments even though I had money for the second one in the bank.
In the early days of my use of Lemmy, I considered hosting an instance myself. I’m glad that I didn’t because it seems like a lot more work than I thought it would be.
If Trump is a Russian asset as we all believe then Putin will have irrefutable proof that would be able to put Trump in prison.
He’s also likely to have evidence of other crimes that everyone is pretty sure that he has done and is doing.
A lot of the publicly available stuff has a lack of evidence, a lack of motivation to get the evidence or a lack of will to impeach and prosecute a sitting president. It’s possible that Putin could release enough information to overcome those barriers.
I think that the main difference is that developers tend to test for success (i.e. does it work as defined) and that testers should also test that it doesn’t fail when a user gets hold of it.
I have worked with some excellent testers but I have also worked with a team that literally required us to write down the tests for them.
To be fair, that wasn’t their fault because they weren’t testers. They were finance people that had been seconded to testing because we didn’t have a real test team.
That’s what I was thinking except I was thinking about the military. Why are the numbers for health so much lower than for war. It’s not a little lower it’s multiple zeroes lower and that’s not just the US. The UK is paying $22m to the WHO but has a military budget more than 3,000 times larger!
The West can’t trust America anymore when they used to be the most reliable partner which shows that everyone needs to reduce their reliance on external states as much as possible.
We relied on Russia for energy when they weren’t a friendly country. We still rely on China for tech and manufacturing and they can’t be described as friendly. And then we find out that we’re too reliant on USA who also turned out to be unfriendly.
This is very frustrating! I get so many requests from customers asking why we returned response code 400 when we gave a description of the problem in the response body.

I switched banks right after that.
