Re:K6: Like unit testing, for performance on Friday November 27, 2020 @11:25PM (#25235263)
K6 is my go-to for performance testing. What drew me in is that you can convert Postman collections to k6 scripts (https://github.com/loadimpact/postman-to-k6) if you already have Postman collections. If you don't have any Postman collections, you can just start with k6 and you can have a simple script up and running in under a minute. I've used k6 at work and for personal projects testing Scala, Go, and Python (I guess the language you're testing doesn't matter b/c you're just hitting http endpoints). If you're doing testing that requires getting an OAuth token, there's a flow for that. I've had nothing but good experiences and would heartily recommend k6 if you're looking to performance test!
I was rather curious to see how this handled Garden Path Sentences[0]. For "The old man the boat.", Stanza interprets "man" as a noun rather than a verb. Similarly, for "The complex houses married and single soldiers and their families." "houses" is also interpreted as a noun rather than a verb. These sentences are mostly corner-cases, but was an interesting little experiment nonetheless.

Out of curiosity, is there any reason why this video is shown as unlisted on youtube?

Re:UC Santa Cruz asks professors to house students on Saturday September 08, 2018 @04:09PM (#17942502)
Local residents’ objections to new housing often stymie new development, and Santa Cruz is running into the same problem. The university is years away from building a planned 3,000 campus housing unit, but thousands of local residents have already signed a petition to stop the development, notes Curbed San Francisco.

Not only funds, but it would require a shift in the attitude of the locals towards such buildings.
