It is a pain point and nearly impossible to resist blaming human error. I see that in comments about the article describing the outage of Azure on leap day via Gregori's blog.

What I was left with was a desire for recommended approaches to best handle the pitfalls Dr. Cook describes... but I guess that is a challange left to the reader.

Hi Nestor

This works fine for me so maybe it is a specific firewall/machine config issue.

In the meantime have you tried the Download option (10MB ZIP)?
Try that instead please (click on the 'here' word in the Download video section above)...

Darn my luck, Daniel, but I cannot get this download whatsoever today!

Did it roll off the edge of a HDD when new content was added?

Feeling is actually a rational function, the complementary opposite of Thinking. That is the reason we return to our favorite product, we feel good and identify with it.

Sensation of a product exceeding expectations is what is irrational, and what is most important. It cannot be readily predicted, so we illicit feedback from testers about their emotional experience using the software (yet more irrationality). Rinse, repeat. 

Add this to my permanent memory, I will.

Thank you, Lou Carbone.

You are very clear.

Somasegar (Soma) and Scott Guthrie on Orcas Beta 2: What's in it?
"Feature Set" must be the lowest common denominator both coders, analysts, and users share. Software design jargon:

Test Driven Development, Feature Sets, (Goals), Tasks.

Rocky Lhotka spoke about TDD and the Software Factories published by Patterns & Practices, saying that tests generated for factory-generated code were superfluous.

No assertion like this could be made without first knowing the publishers themselves insure quality through TDD, imho.

I would like to see more evangelism for TDD and the focus upon Feature Set and customer interactivity.

We need guidance to model from your success.

Danke.

  • Ask "how do I know if this bit of code does the right thing?".
  • Write the answers as questions.
  • Code these questions as assertions of state and surrounding state in unit tests.

    • Thanks for the primer, Peter and Ron.

That makes sense.

    1) Aliens don't exist, regardless of their introversion, the 'Prime Objective' & unexplained cow mutilations.

    2) Users will always demand OS choices. It is part of personal identity.

    3) Cloning & enslaving one's self is unethical; pace-maker? Adam is scarey. Pair programming with one's self... LOL.

    4) How to make money with internet video? Team up with content providers like Time-Warner, Sony, Viacom, etc., which is exactly what Google is doing after buying you-tube. It is inevitable this will make tons of money, and there will be commercials to foot the bill just like today.

    5) Implicit, evolved topic, DRM. It is essential and necessary. I was dismayed in 1994 to personally watch OS2 Warp become available in Irkutsk, Siberia, before it was available as a retail product in the USA or anywhere else. Sickening. DRM may help stop pirating intellectual and artistic property worldwide and that is very long overdue. I'm glad Vista will support is so well.

    Whoa, where did the echo come from 52 minutes in?? Cleared up at 53:58... eeeccchh.

    Brad, Jason, Adam, & Brett, thanks! 


    Rory, I suggest a single-purpose topic and interviewees who are motivated and prepared to discuss.
