If life were a periodic function of time!

As the crystal rays of sunlight enter into my room, through the tiny perforation in my newly constructed window, and fall on my face, I open my eyes. I open them gently, and pulling myself up, I think. I think if this morning bears any resemblance to any of those memorable ones at AIT. Thinking that against all the odds, against all the contraries this morning be slight like the old fashioned ones. The ones in 304E, the ones in 004C, those in 005C or the ones in 213A! The mornings when I would wake up first only to see my roommates enjoying their sweet sleep and I would jump onto my bed again and moments later I would hear Sood screaming "GET UP ASSHOLE...CLASSES START AT 9.15!" and minutes later, I would find myself in my class...studyng!

Times have changed! They certainly have! I have office to go to. I have a bus to catch. Have work to do. Books to read. I hate to wake up early. I hate to get ready on time! If time could just reverse direction. If life were a periodic function of time! If I could just hear those golden words again.."GET UP ASSHOLE...CLASSES START AT 9.15"

मुद्दत हो गयी उन तन्हायियो को गुजरे , फिर भी इन आँखों में नमी क्यों है ? तोड़ दिया मोहब्बत पर से यकीन मेरा, फिर भी मेरी दुनिया में तेरी कमी क्यों है ? हसरत है क्यों आज भी तेरी चाहत की मुझे, क्यों याद तेरी जेहेन से मिटती नहीं ? जलजला क्यों उमड़ता है ख्वाबो में मेरे, उस आशिकी की आगज़नी क्यों है ? सन्नाटो में भी क्यों सुनता हू तुझे मेरी परछाई से क्यों तू जाती नहीं ? इन डबडबाती आँखों को तलाश तेरी, आज भी कहीं क्यों है ?

How the Python import system works

How the Python import system works From: https://tenthousandmeters.com/blog/python-behind-the-scenes-11-how-the-python-import-system-works/ If you ask me to name the most misunderstood aspect of Python, I will answer without a second thought: the Python import system. Just remember how many times you used relative imports and got something like ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package ; or tried to figure out how to structure a project so that all the imports work correctly; or hacked sys.path when you couldn't find a better solution. Every Python programmer experienced something like this, and popular StackOverflow questions, such us Importing files from different folder (1822 votes), Relative imports in Python 3 (1064 votes) and Relative imports for the billionth time (993 votes), are a good indicator of that. The Python import system doesn't just seem complicated – it is complicated. So even though...

What does it mean to “shift testing left”?

What does it mean to “shift testing left”? I used to think shifting left meant starting all these testing activities earlier in the process, but I realise it is more than that: it means doing different things . Shifting left on testing means thinking about architecture and design differently, considering different stakeholders early and continually. Which in turn means shifting left on security, accessibility, and all the other dimensions of quality that we should care about. So shifting left on testing motivates all kinds of assurance activities, which can stop us over-investing in a solution that was never going to work. It is like TDD on steroids. As an unintended consequence, we can remove much of the traditional work that testers would have to do downstream when they only have late sight of the product. Again, we aren’t doing that work earlier, we are setting ourselves up to never need it at all!
