or simply use an Excel to log time and reason, this should be a short term effort only to prove a point.

Appium with Selenium (or XCUITest for iOS) will shorten your life expectancy and grow you some grey hairs, but there is no other better alternative for testing at user level. It is highly unreliable and each new phone OS version will tend to break your automation

As for finding devices there are a few cloud providers like xamarin or perfecto (never really worked with them in production) that gives you remote access to a lot of real devices and software versions

Having said that try to divert more testing towards lower levels- unit tests, testing on simulators, integration tests with a full phone and browser etc.

A good place to also ask is: https://testersio.slack.com

I used to work with one of those, he traded his title and pay for a work permit in another country

I would also suggest to consider the Netherlands

Unless you want to become a citizen, you'll need to learn Dutch (which is a good thing IMHO but some disagree) and renounce your other citizenship.

Sweden has an even simpler system, if the employer can prove that you are needed (and for most professions reading here that's less than trivial) you are almost guaranteed to get permanent residency in 4 years and become a citizen in 5 years if you want to

do not overtake on the right

how is it defined ? suppose someone is driving 100 km/h on the left lane while the right lane is free and you approach from behind doing 150- should you stay at the left and wait for slow car to move right ?

if the code is flaky then I have earned my pay honestly, this is a problem that should be solved.

Subtle concurrency issues are indeed very difficult to be found debugged and reproduced and randomization could help with that simply by covering more space.

Flaky tests are indeed a big issue, the main concern being loss of confidence in the results.

The otherwise good advice for randomization has its drawbacks-

- it complicates issue reproduction, especially if the test flow itself is randomized and not just the data

- the same way it catches more issues, it might as well skip some

Something else that was mentioned but not stressed enough is the importance of clean environment as the basis for the test infrastructure.

A cleanup function is nice but using a virtual environment, Docker or a clean VM will save you a lot of debugging time finding environmental issues. The same goes for mocked or simplified elements if they contribute to the reproducibility of the system- a simpler in-memory database can help re creating a clean database for each test instead of reverting for example

not even the first in Sweden, I took a ride on a self driving bus (that had a safety person sitting bored inside) in a suburb of Stockholm

That's not to say that SHiELD, at least as described presently, doesn't have limitations. A turreted laser can only ever engage one target at a time and there is the aforementioned risk of atmospheric disruptions reducing the beam's range and efficacy

So to intercept 20 missiles you'll need 20 expensive "turrets", your enemy knows how many "turrets" you have and can easily flood it with more cheap missiles.

Also remember that target destruction is not instantaneous, this limits the amount of targets per "turret" and the minimum range.

I have never seen eggs being refrigerated

I don't know if eggs are washed or not in Sweden, but I have never seen an egg with poop on it

Based on documents from 2011-13, a lot could have changed since then

touching ? those are fast moving vehicles that can be a few meters to many meters from each other, and possibly have some other vehicle in between

Scania, and probably others, are working on platooning trucks. From what I know it is not trivial, for example most of communication methods we have have too long round trip delays and are not 100% reliable so a backup is needed maybe in the form of autonomous breaking system.

Wow, works like magic ! Actually Swedish drivers are somewhat more obedient and indeed traffic problems are due to road hazards are on average less severe.

For example when Swedes sees a lower speed sign or even just a warning before a road block they will slow and stay in one long lane, while in the mid eastern country I live in until recently everyone just speeds up trying to be first to pass the blocking. The results ? smoother flow and shorter queues, guess where ?

Nice, here in Sweden there are even more efficient systems that recovers the heat from your house ventilation system and uses it to heat water for heating and bathing.

taking the fight with the governmental authority handling immigration.

What ? which fight ? unless you recruit "world class developers" with a year experience in JS paying them half of the average rate with no insurances then there are no fights.

Myself and colleagues, all have worked in normal places that payed decent salaries and all the needed insurances and all got their work permits and permanent residencies approved without problems.

Actually Software development is in the "needed professions" list meaning that you can apply for a permit while you are in Sweden.

Linkedin probably. Stockholm has a lot of jobs, I don't know about Gottenburg or Malmo but they are smaller places

off for sick leave, and this is somewhat changing now with the new karensavdrag system

you will spend roughly 18 years on a waiting list

last I have read it's 10 years in Stockholm, in Åkersberga (less than an hour north of Stockholm) it would be a few years https://www.armadafast.se/boende/bostadsk%C3%B6/k%C3%B6tider

or you can buy for 2M SEK (200,000 Euro) a nice small house in a suburb and pay the mortgage back over 50 years.

yes it is (Swedish citizens)

Maybe I'm old but that's common knowledge, the reason more and more computations are moving to the digital world is weirdly the simplicity of implementation and not accuracy, speed, price, reliability or anything else super sophisticated.

It's much easier, faster, maintainable and usually cheaper to add a cheap controller and peripherals than to find an electrical engineer to do the math and design a circuit.

I understand anonymity from my wife, but do credit card companies really sell your data? and Swish which is operated by the banks ?
