Problem:  If you are using GitHub and have multiple repositories , you surely want to organize them. How do I group related github repositories in a folder structure? Is there a feature providing any ability to order and structure or even tag repositories on github? The answer is No! Unless you want to use the GitHub Organizations https://github.com/blog/674-introducing-organizations But there is a Solution: You can use gitrep (external oauth app) which allows you to organize starred repos using the concept of tagging.  Gitrep also helps you to do this:  "How to best find and compare different open source options. Typically it is not easy to answer questions like "What is the most popular jQuery Instagram library?" or "What Ruby gems are similar to Devise but newer?". This is where Gitrep aims to help. Gitrep allows you to search repositories by community created tags and their descriptions, along with apply personal tags that you can use f...

Problem:   Search GitHub for powershell code with certain commands Example: searching the DNS Reverse Zone "- Get-DnsServerResourceRecord " Solution:  Use the advanced search where the extension is ps1 Get-DnsServerResourceRecord extension:ps1 The Advanced Code Search is a whole new way of discovering some of the best code samples What you can bring into a mix is "Working in this language" option Read more at cool searching options here:  https://github.com/blog/1381-a-whole-new-code-search Happy Searching!

If you are planning to implement custom interactive diagrams and complex visualizations across modern web browsers and platforms - GoJS is the solution! GoJS is pure JavaScript, so users get interactivity without requiring round-trips to servers and without plugins.  GoJS normally runs completely in the browser, rendering to an HTML5 Canvas element or SVG without any server-side requirements.  GoJS does not depend on any JavaScript libraries or frameworks, so it should work with any HTML or JavaScript framework or with no framework at all The API consists of only a few dozen important classes which encapsulate many useful features that interact with each other. Learn how to play around with GoJS here  https://gojs.net/latest/learn/index.html Amazing library of samples here:  https://gojs.net/latest/samples/flowchart.html Happy JavaScripting!

When programmers at the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory set out to develop the flight software for the Apollo 11 space program in the mid-1960s, the necessary technology did not exist. They had to invent it. They came up with a new way to store computer programs, called “rope memory,” and created a special version of the assembly programming language. Assembly itself is obscure to many of today’s programmers—it’s very difficult to read, intended to be easily understood by computers, not humans. For the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC), MIT programmers wrote thousands of lines of that esoteric code. Here’s a very 1960s data visualization of just how much code they wrote—this is Margaret Hamilton, director of software engineering for the project, standing next to a stack of paper containing the software: Margaret Hamilton (NASA) The AGC code has been available to the public for quite a while–it was first uploaded by tech researcher Ron Burkey in 2003, after he’d tr...

Can you steal something that has already been stolen  posted using his permission: I was so amazed by this person's laziness  awesomeness that I had to do a re-post xxx: OK, so, our build engineer has left for another company. The dude was literally living inside the terminal. You know, that type of a guy who loves  Vim , creates diagrams in   Dot   and writes wiki-posts in Markdown... If something - anything - requires more than 90 seconds of his time, he writes a script to automate that. xxx: So we're sitting here, looking through his, uhm, "legacy" xxx: You're gonna love this xxx:  smack-my-bitch-up.sh  - sends a text message "late at work" to his wife (apparently).

I have been religiously celebrating this day for the fifth year now.  If you have missed my previous posts, here is the trivia: On September, 9 1945 the scientists of the Harvard University while testing the computer Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator had found a moth which got stuck between the contacts of the electromechanical relay.  The work they performed required some description, and the word had been found – «debugging» (literally: disposal of an insect) – and now it is used to describe the process of identifying and eliminating bugs which cause a computer to malfunction. The removed insect was pasted into the computer log with the entry: “First actual case of bug being found”, and was then transferred to the computer museum. Happy World Tester's Day again!

Let's say you are building a basic web application and you want a list of example code that you could use. This is an awesome list that has several common Diagram types and showcase specific features and layouts: gojs.net/latest/samples/ http://gojs.net/latest/samples/classHierarchy.html

Not endorsing stealing but it's a sweet hack! http://www.slideshare.net/korlayashwanth/download-disabled-slide-share-ppts-by-authors Enjoy :P

Here are some badges that we used in one of our QA day , recognizing each person by his niche skill:

Surely every day is Tester's Day, but it feels good to have a special day that can make us testers around the world share and collaborate and feel proud to be one. Now this is the second year in a row that I have been celebrating this day. If you haven't heard about tester's day then read  this  ! It is 68 years since the first bug was found , beat that for a metric in software testing :) I feel proud to be a testing professional and have had my own reasons to do so. Shall not ponder over that here, not on the "Tester's day". I have been celebrating this day in a better manner now with a good bunch of like-minded testers and colleagues in the testing community. I thought why not write about what would be the best way to celebrate a day like this Here are my few cents: We started off with a simple idea of creating a badge that read “Proud to be a Tester” and some that read “Official _______ Tester” where the blank was filled with the specialized s...

Smug Report A bug submitted by a user who thinks he knows a lot more about the system's design than he really does. Filled with irrelevant technical details and one or more suggestions (always wrong) about what he thinks is causing the problem and how we should fix it. Also related to Drug Report (a report so utterly incomprehensible that whoever submitted it must have been smoking crack.), Chug Report (where the submitter is thought to have had one too many), and Shrug Report (a bug report with no error message or repro steps and only a vague description of the problem. Usually contains the phrase "doesn't work.") A Duck A feature added for no other reason than to draw management attention and be removed, thus avoiding unnecessary changes in other aspects of the product. I don't know if I actually invented this term or not, but I am certainly not the originator of the story that spawned it. This started as a piece of Interplay corporate lore. I...

I am sure most of us would have heard and used testing quotes in our signatures, here are a few that i randomly picked : "I don't break anything, they're already broken" Testing, turning Stressed into Impressed since 1971 I came, I saw, I broke it I'm OK, you're OK. Your code I'm not so sure about To err is human; to find the errors requires a tester 'Tried, trialled and tested' Testing, because your software is worth it! If your software works, thank a tester Have you hugged your software tester today? I Failed My Way To Success The customer is always right. Testing make sure they are always alright 'A Tester Is Someone Who After Finding a bug after 5 minutes brags about how he is responsible for the success of the project'  we're tough on the code but soft on the coders Those are the bugs, if you don't like them...I have others. Improving the world one bug at a time In God we trust, rest we ...
