2·4 days agono more “oops I bricked my system” moments
I’ve been using linux daily for about 15 years on my desktop and servers. I’ve never had this issue. I don’t know what you guys do, but to me it sounds like a solution without a problem. The same with security.
8·5 days agoI’d argue that the system shouldn’t automatically convert negative numbers to positive numbers. Instead, it should display an error to the user. Of course, that’s an abstract thought as I don’t know what was the system and who interacted with it.
It’s a common dictionary, which is probably not very good in this context. I think it would be more appropriate to refer to ISTQB, as it is likely the most relevant source when it comes to software testing and failures:
Human beings make errors (mistakes), which produce defects (faults, bugs), which in turn may result in failures. Humans make errors for various reasons, such as time pressure, complexity of work products, processes, infrastructure or interactions, or simply because they are tired or lack adequate training
Or to put it simple:
We’re seeing a failure here.
Why did it take six months to resolve the issue? What steps did you take, how did they respond? Serious claims require proper explanation at the very least.
Well, don’t run it inside a browser then. There is no need to get agitated because of that option. But this is super useful for universities and other organizations that educate people. They can run these preconfigured IDEs for their students and execute the code on the same server, so that even if you have something like a Chromebook, you can participate in classes. This is what places like Harvard do, and this is how Microsoft introduces CS students to VSCode and other products.
