#security report from #Cloudflare

Many organizations have difficulty identifying and managing API cybersecurity. It is also noted that effective DDoS mitigation solutions can help protect APIs (everyone buy Cloudflare 👌).

I am working on a categorical programming language (i.e. matching category theory) named #Cation. It is a base for domain-specific languages like #Contractum for #RGB smart contracts. However, Cation can do much more than that and is designed as a generic programming language with termination analysis, GADT, monads, balanced ternary types in standard lib and many more exciting features. Basically, in Cation everything - data, functions, types etc - are natural transformation, and everything runs in parallel with lazy evaluation of race conditions (“quantum-style”).

I have already spent 2.5 years on it, so the things are starting taking a shape. Everyone interested in category theory and such challenges pls join https://t.me/cation_lang

#security #privacy

Privacy is a process, not a single thing. We are always negotiating what levels of privacy we have. We might not always have the upper hand, but we are often able to negotiate. This is why we still see some fictional dystopias and think, “Thank God that’s not my life.” As long as we can do this, we are winning. So don’t give in to privacy nihilism. Instead, share and celebrate the ways we’re winning.

Oh, I missed that there is a sequel to that sensational article about SDET at Microsoft and testing in Big tech:

#Kyiv #testing #meetup

Where else to meet @newromka and #QAClubLviv, if not in the capital 🤓

There were not many of us, but it was interesting and intense.

Some ideas/notes after the meeting:

A utility to monitor PR/Jira
https://linearb.io/

Periodic export from TestRail of tests that have not been run for a long time (like a year or a month).

Hitmap for autotests (on a test env).

Code/feature coverage

Testmate as Jira plugin

Test on current version of Chrome, on major, on beta...

=*=

And a couple of upcoming events:

QA Magic Meetup 5.0 will be in Kyiv on March 30,

And on April 20 from QA Club Lviv (in Lviv this time!)

#language #tools #useful

I'm used to switching layouts on my Mac with one button, namely the Caps Lock, and I wanted to reproduce it on #Windows. And without installing some overloaded Moscovian tool like Punto Switcher.

I tried several options (including registry edits) and settled on this simple utility – maybe someone else will find it useful too:

#video #live #testing #metrics

Join us for our new online event that explores the universe of Quality Assurance metrics, the backbone of any successful QA management operation. The QA practice globally utilizes an estimated 100 functional metrics serving various purposes that include evaluating the QA team's performance and progression, gauging intermediate results, pinpointing problems, and furnishing arguments for management.

We've all said, "I don't have time for testing". Is forcing tests onto your code hurting your developer productivity? It's more complicated than saying "just test your code as often as possible".

In this episode, Trisha Gee on her debut on the channel tackles those questions and offers advice on how to best go about software testing to maximise developer productivity.
