The country selection failed on USA until I also added France.

Mobile browser (Android) is difficult to select from the combo boxes because the viewing area is taken up by the keyboard which pops up.

When the CCP asked Google to censor search results, that was a bad thing.

When the US government asks China to censor TikTok, that's a good thing.

Make it make sense.

Seven Pillars of Wisdom, by T. E. Lawrence.

During WWI he was sent from the UK to the Arabs to find a leader who could unite them and lead a rebellion against the Turks, who were allied with Germany.

He succeeded.

Remarkable work! I was part of a team in 2014-2016 that tried using silicon micro needles layered with polymers in order to filter the interstitial fluid's glucose. Unfortunately it was difficult to calibrate for all the variables. We could have two sensors from the same silicon wager on the same person at the same time and get two different readings.

Hats off to these researchers, who went a different direction.

Better health really can start with glucose monitoring for everyone. Because we could all learn about sugar's effect on our bodies.

Nested transactions handle commits. At the beginning of a test, a new transaction is begun, and it is rolled back at the end of the test. As others have pointed out in this discussion, it's pretty standard with Ruby on Rails apps, especially those which use rspec for testing.

Wow what a great writeup. I remember back in 2001 when .NET was making huge waves, when Miguel and his Mono project seemed (to me) the only thing standing between Microsoft and absolute world domination (they also had Project Hailstorm (oAuth), SilverLight, PowerShell, and this Windows Vista/LongHorn thing which was supposed to use SQL Server as it's file system.

SCO UNIX was suing IBM (IIRC) because of some code that was found in the Linux kernel but they said it belonged to them (turned out to be comments, basically).

Oh and everything I wrote was in Flash ActionScript and Perl, or i had to make multiple versions of each web page because rendering on web browsers was so different across vendors, versions, and platforms.

Good times.

Transaction per test is how that works in ruby on rails. Also, the rspec parallel gem will create N test databases for running tests - one per process.
