You do it by ruling out classes of errors, rather than one at a time, and drilling down from the ones you can't rule out. For example:

* Application code error should result in an error message somewhere.

* Application server configuration issue should occur for multiple users.

* Something happening to only one user should be caused by either their configuration or what exactly they were doing.

(And I'm sure there's more cases, but this is what's coming to mind offhand)

From another comment, it sounds like this landed in the third bucket - and better, nothing loading meant it wasn't something they were actively doing.

So it's some configuration specific to that user: Something user-specific from the database on page load, browser choice, add-ons, or - as you found - unusual (to the devs) browser usage, like zoom or multiple windows.

Obviously this isn't thorough and could be wrong depending on the situation (note I said "should" in the bullet points, not "will"), but it should help a bit. Even knowing possibilities like zoom or multiple windows is something you get from experience - now that you know it can be a problem and one of the ways it manifests, you'll know to check it next time you see something similar.

Big tech companies aren't going to replace H-1B consultants with Americans, they'll just fill those roles offshore.
WeWork Co-Founder Has Cashed Out at Least $700M Via Sales, Loans
You'll notice that this person (Usha Sagarwala) doesn't show up on LinkedIn or has any online presence. That is because most consultancies have a playbook for these H1B employees which includes falsifying their resume and work experience in order to secure not only a visa but also a client. This is not anecdotal but a widespread problem specifically affecting consulting companies (a.k.a body shops). Here's an example where a student on an F-1 (Student) visa was denied entry when CBP determined he had lied: https://www.happyschools.com/h1b-visa-deported-port-entry/ This is a well oiled racket that many people have been running for a while now. Here's an example where feds brought these people down: https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/09/03/h-1b-fraud-indian-ceo...

There is a lot of fraud in the H1B, EB5 and EB1C visa programs. The administration has tried to crack down on it consistently but the Trump administration has been the most vigorous in its enforcement so far. However, this fraud requires legislative fixes which haven't come in yet. Simple fixes like H1Bs can be used only for direct employees and not for consulting purposes would be a huge boon to American companies. Another fix would be to raise the minimum salary which after 30 years of running the program is still at 65K USD. It will have immediate, positive impact by closing the loopholes used for exploitation.

This sort of fraud is also a big reason why people are stuck in years long backlogs for their employment based greencards.

There's a broader reason. If the normal browsers break this, the response will just be that they do their own national fork of an open-source browser and distribute that to their people.

The downside of pushing them to that is that that browser will be unlikely to get regular security updates and will likely hide the interception.
Turns out local government matters.
>Their destruction is not justification for anything other than a claim for damages in court.

No one is going ballistic over downed drones (not yet at least), but only damages? C'mon, be serious. These things are often classified tech in their own right and may contain classified information. Back and forth like this between sovereign countries is not really a matter for a civil court.
And I love this keyboard. I have a work MBP that gives me cramps after an hour of use, but this one (System 76) is spacious and feels great.

Some languages (Python, Ruby, probably dozens of others) have constructs along these lines

with f = open("data.txt")
print f.readline()

The file is automatically closed at the end of the block. Those languages also have explicit open/close/seek calls to let the developer implement more complex cases.

Btw, the os closes any open file when the program ends.

Amazon can eat that loss without batting an eye. If it's resellers, etc, I'm not sure how the situation would be remedied. I think cancelling the orders would be fair, because some small camera shop can't be expected to eat the same losses as the #2 multinational retailer. While I wish I had gotten one of those cameras, as 10kUSD would completely change my life, I can understand both sides I think...

If it was Amazon it would be the best PR for the next prime day you could think of. People will be scouring the site for these kind of deals next year.
It's certainly not the primary driver. Twitter is built using React Native for Web, which uses a pattern called "Atomic CSS".[1] So it's just a result of the framework they're using.

Actually true root certs when evaluated by the browsers will have their name constrains within the root certificate themselves ignored.

Modern browsers do respect name constraints of intermediate issuing certificates.
> The concern here is that you're just selling a camera that they were already going to buy.

Are you sure of that? Why would he not buy it on Amazon instead of Best Buy? Why would he choose that Sony camera instead of that Nikon ones?

Ads made him choose that model, at that price, at this specific shop. All theses variables could have changed and he would have still bought a camera, but nothing guarantee that theses variables would have been the same and Best Buy wouldn't have that sale.

Best Buy did win, because someone else didn't.

That's all considering he was already going to buy that camera and it wasn't a poor impulsive choice, which sadly happens too often in this world.

I apologize if that came off wrong, the "everyone's favorite language to hate" was tongue-in-cheek and not intended to infer you had an outright hatred of Java.

Not true. Trump nearly retaliated over a downed drone with an attack estimated to cost Iranians 100 lives. He called it off at the last minute when confronted with the potential death toll.

I like to think that was all theatre for the benefit of Iran, but you never can tell with trump between crazy on purpose and well just crazy.
Tesseract works really good for literal OCR but I haven't had much luck before with more common work (like documents with tables and such). Has anything changed as of late?
It isn't a "notification", you still have to file for a new visa regardless of how similar the new position is. And it can very well be denied. The only concession is that you won't be subject to the annual limit and won't have to go through the lottery.

One of the things that Textract purports to do is also detect structured data, e.g. if the scanned images has tables, like a spreadsheet.

I tested it out when it became available to the general public, and included the API call and JSON response for their default and relatively simple example:

https://gist.github.com/dannguyen/1a71c8fb98ddd1df6abdc08bc7...

I tried it against what I consider one of the harder real-world types of scanned tabular data, a Senate personal financial disclosure form [0], and it didn't do great. In fact, I found that it did substantially worse than ABBYY FineReader. Or rather, ABBYY did much better than I would've expected for any software, even managing to read the vertically-oriented column headers accurately [1].

I've never worked (as a software engineer) at a company that expects their employees to show up at 9am. Now, at the place I where I work currently, most people _do_ tend to show up between 8-9am and leave by 5-5:30, so working at 6pm I often find myself among a single-digit number of people still at the office, but I think such schedules are usually driven by people's life obligations (having kids, mostly) and personal preferences (naturally early risers) rather than company requirements. I myself routinely wake up around 9am, and come in the office between 10:30-11:15am. I've been here for 5+ years, gotten a substantial raise each year since I've started, and recently gotten promoted. In talking with my manager, my working hours have never ever been brought up as a negative (in fact, my current boss tends to get in around 10:30am himself, mostly to avoid rush hour traffic).

This is what happens with religion: it impedes progress, and makes people behave completely irrationally.

These observatories aren't causing environmental problems (AFAIK); they're great tools for humanity to understand our universe. There aren't many locations on Earth that have the advantages this location has, yet these people want to stop this for what? Irrational superstitions? If this were some corporation trying to do mountaintop removal mining (like they do in West Virginia), it would be perfectly rational to oppose that: that's an environmental catastrophe. But this is not, this is one of the most benign things humans can do.

These firms have been abusing the H-1B system for years, giving the visa (and often the workers who have it) a bad name.

Passing Callbacks and Pointers to Cgo – Eli Bendersky's Website
Grindr is just one tool in a long list of possible extortion opportunities. And no, a gay pastor being blackmailed is nowhere near a "national security risk". This should strictly concern people who work for the U.S. government, intelligence, and military agencies.

None of the security concerns you mentioned will be solved if Grindr is placed under "trusted" ownership. Having a Grindr profile is a choice, not an entitlement or obligation. This is being framed as a national security issue 3 years after Kunlun Tech acquires majority stake in Grindr and 18 months after it fully bought out Grindr, because hate-fearing all things (and people) Chinese is too in vogue in the U.S. right now to not join on the bandwagon.

Choosing to be alone (isolation) is not the same as loneliness. Honestly, the world has changed a lot, and that might end up not being a big problem in the future; maybe having isolation become more socially accepted wouldn't be that bad.

The problem we are seeing right now is that it looks like everything is moving towards a kind of social-contact-unfriendliness. Too much stress, connection (the expectation of being always reachable, and therefore available for work), busy streets, dominated by cars, big and impersonal chain stores, etc. Many of these are not necessarily bad by themselves, but they also had an important role in social interaction that has shifted now, and we might need time to find new spaces and solutions for that interaction.

That is a very ignorant way of putting it. Personally, I feel they should build it, but to belittle people that way is not right.

And besides religious reasons some people consider Hawaii as Occupied by the US, and the land is theirs, and not for use by the US for observatories. (I don't agree because it's annexed (they can vote), not Occupied.)

But despite my feelings on the matter, I'm not going to go around disregarding people's beliefs.
I agree that it's weirder nowadays. But maybe we just enjoyed cultural inertia because we were born just before 24/7 multi screen entertainment became the norm. I too find that it just takes too much space in our daily lives.

That'll do it though.

It used to be that the cities had lots of single-income families. They only had to compete with each other in the bidding war for good housing.

Women entered the job market due to birth control and legal changes, so now we have lots of two-income households in that bidding war. Same-sex couples also became legal, adding even more two-income households.

Meanwhile, low-cost forms of housing were legislated away. You can rent an apartment or be homeless, but you can't rent an SRO (single-room occupancy) or bed cage. The homeless scare away families, and the lack of SRO options forces single people into the bidding war for larger housing.

I urge you to do some research into why they're protesting and not jump to wild conclusions. Try to think of the protestors as sane, rational humans who have values that's derived from a unique history and culture.
