Murphy's Bus Laws

I had been a bus traveller ever since I started working. And its been 2.5 months! Travelling by bus has its own prenup. So I archived a few of my personal experiences along with some more taken from internet in what I call the Murphy's Bus Laws!
  • If its raining, or cold or both the bus will be late
  • If you're early the bus is late If you're late the bus was early
  • The other people at the bus stop are waiting for the bus that has just pulled in
  • If you have no change then the bus driver won't have any either
  • Two buses for the same place will always pull in together
  • Corollary : multiple buses for corporation will come when you are looking for a Pune Station bus.
  • The sign at the front of the bus is merely for decoration it is not the destination of the bus
  • Waiting for a bus seems to be longer than the journey
  • The bus you plan to take always leaves five minutes before you reach the bus stop.
  • The first bus from your route will always appear first in the opposite direction.
  • The more times you ask the driver to tell you when to get off the bus, the chance he won't tell you is bigger.
  • Irrespective time and route, Pune city buses are always crowded
  • Corollary : Buses travelling in exactly opposite direction go empty.
  • The last person on the bus always wants the last stop
  • When walking to a bus stop, if you'll look back to see if the bus is coming, it won't, if you won't look back, the bus will pass you just as you'll reach the bus stop.
  • Chat with a pretty girl, and the bus will arrive immediately.

सूनापन

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!
