FastStone Capture?
I second that. It's stupid powerful, and costs only 20$ for lifetime licence.

Makes me wonder what would it take to 3D print other life saving devices? And are there designs online in the public domain ?
wasn't there a crowd effort to make and mass 3d-print ventilators? I guess I've seen in couple of days ago on reddit
Nice Project sp. z o.o. / Software Developer in Test (SDET) / Wrocław, Poland / Full-Time onsite
We (Nice Project sp. z o.o. - http://niceproject.eu) are currently building a team of test automation specialist to help our german customers with their automation needs.
Please note, that this is not a classical software tester position: the tests are currently mostly performed on customer's side, and your job will be to aid and guide the efforts related to more technical aspects of both functional and load/performance testing.
What will you be doing at this position:
- Execute, analyze and report already available performance test of complex, modular application for print shops. - Continue automation (in Python) of any not yet automated test steps - Be involved in determining the right direction for ongoing load testing efforts, and creation of completely new load testing scenarios
Additional objectives that may be relevant to future activities:
- Help with automation efforts using Ranorex, Robot Framework and/or Selenium based solutions - Be involved in testing activities in projects undertaken by Nice Project
We are looking to hire 2 team members on medium to senior level.
English language is required (duh), German language is required on at least reading comprehension level.
What else: - Small team (we're just getting started) where your voice will be heard - Interesting projects in a complex domain - Flexible working hours, home office, part-time models - Domain specific trainings - We plan to provide further language lessons for our team members to improve their German language even more

Thanks for asking. I am fine. I've recently changed jobs and now I work from home with occasional travel - and even though it's strenuous, it's much more comfortable. I have flexible hours, fixed pay every month, paid vacations (oh thank gods yes). My kid is gradually getting more social with us (he's almost 3), and spending time with him brings us great joy. We're all healthy, we invest time into our relationship, we do our best to sleep much, exercise, eat well, and it seems to be paying off, which is great, because this time last year we were getting ready to move across border, and soon before the move, we've had a serious health crisis (my wife was hospitalized for 10 day, and got out exactly on the day of the move).
What could be better? Well plenty, of course.
We could be saving money for our own place faster. But we partially use it to enjoy day to day and treat ourselves. I consider it money well spent, regardless of my wife's guilt feeling. We could be spending even more time together. But this is mostly because my wife is currently learning python programming and software testing in order to get back to job hunt. It was a conscious decisions, and her weekend school ends in a couple of weeks anyway. We could be spending more time with our friends. But we're all busy people, and we try to be understanding that it's difficult to find good timeslots.
So, it's all temporary hurdles, not really hardships.

My next question is "why didn't the QA team find this?"
And, "Do you have a QA team," he said, expecting the answer "no".
My next comment as a QA: "I told you so"
God, the many times I had told them so months before difficult situations arrived, just to be swiftly ignored by business because some devs didn't want to bother, and wanted to get to more shiny and fancy and interesting problems.
A language specific answer: The testing package of the Go standard library has a built-in support for examples. They are executed as part of the tests, but are rendered by the documentation generator as examples. This obviously only solves the problem of library writes that want to expose examples of library usage (and ensure they don't get stale)
This is such an amazing feature. I wish it got picked up by other major languages and became a standard practice.
Great stuff. But what about alternative python interpreters that have been lagging behind? Jython is 2.7.1 and IronPython is 2.7.9

> A 3-year-old definitely takes a lot more continuous attention than a newborn
I think this varies enormously between kids, and to some extent between parenting styles as well. With my particular kids (5y and 3y) I can often spend a whole afternoon working on a project while they play individually or together; at younger ages the time commitment was far larger (nearly continuous).
Ha! My boy (almost 3) may be playing with his legos for whole afternoon, but the moment I peek in the general direction of my laptop, he wants to bang on the keyboard. Not any keyboard (tried that), but my keyboard specifically.
And when it comes to "it depends on the kid", oh dear. I try to practice stoicism whenever I remember about it, and logically I try to remember that I should be grateful for his fussiness and rebelliousness, since they give me occasions to practice my stoicism. But it sure does feel a bit like stockholm syndrome sometimes.
adamhepner commented on AWS Lambda Cold Start Language Comparisons levelup.gitconnected.com/... · Posted by u/mjb
My assumption here is that the Node implementation loads your code off disk during cold start using standard require(). Whereas the Go implementation requires loading a small wrapper (probably also in Node) which execs the Go process which then handles your request.
In my experience, GCP Functions Go cold start time is almost nil because they compile your code into the function entry point directly, so it's as quick as calling a function in process.
OK, so the main takeaway for me for example would be that if I want write lambdas in Go (because it's awesome), then GCP would be better choice for me.
But anyway, I'm not too current when it comes to lambdas. Are they compiled everytime when cold started, or is a compiled binary stored in some sort of image?
All contributions are welcome, however we're working 2 fulltime jobs and care for a 3 yo in lockdown, so time to work on this project is a luxury.
