This week Mark Zuckerberg gave a speech in which he extolled “giving everyone a voice” and fighting “to uphold a wide a definition of freedom of expression as possible.” That sounds great, of course!

I started a newsletter, focusing on different stories I read about privacy, security, programming in general. Following the advice from Martijn Grooten, I am storing all the interesting links I read (for many months). I used to share these only over Twitter, but, as I retweet many things, it was not easy to share a selected few. I also did not want to push them in my regular blog. I wanted a proper newsletter over email service. But, keeping the reader’s privacy was a significant point to choose the service. I finally decided to go with Write.as Letters service. I am already using their open source project WriteFreely. This is an excellent excuse to use their tool more and also pay them for the fantastic tools + service. Feel free to subscribe to the newsletter and share the link with your friends.

Cristian Medina wrote an article recently called "Test Engineering Anti-Patterns: Destroy Your Customer Satisfaction and Crater Your Quality By Using These 9 Easy Organizational Practices" Of course, it's sarcastic, and aims to highlight many problems with organizational practices that reduce software quality. The article doesn't go out of character, and only promotes the anti-patterns. However, in this interview, we discuss each point, and the corollary of what you really should do. At least, our perspectives. Here's the list of all the points discussed in the article and in this episode: Make the Test teams solely responsible for quality Require all tests to be automated before releasing Require 100% code coverage Isolate the Test organization from Development Measure the success of the process, not the product. Metrics, if rewarded, will always be gamed. Require granular projections from engineers Reward quick patching instead of solving Plan for today instead of tomorrow Special Guest: Cristian Medina.Sponsored By:Azure Pipelines: Automate your builds and deployments with pipelines so you spend less time with the nuts and bolts and more time being creative.

This tutorial covers the following topic – Python Add lists. It describes various ways to join/concatenate/add lists in Python. For example – simply appending elements of one list to the tail of the other in a for loop, or using +/* operators, list comprehension, extend(), and itertools.chain() methods. Most of these techniques use built-in constructs in Python. However, the one, itertools.chain() is a method defined in the itertools module. You must also see which of these ways is more suitable in your scenario. After going through this post, you can evaluate their performance in case of large lists.
