@AshleyNunn Peach schnapps, orange juice (equal parts), splash of Makers Mark. Peach Cobbler (the Makers gives it a bit of 'crust' to the otherwise peach flavor)

@MichaelT Oh hell yes that sounds like something I would love

user55340

Lemeoncello (either cream or regular - they make different drinks), orange liqueur (cointreau or triple sec depending on taste) and lime juice. Equal parts. Shaken with ice.

user20683

Gin, Amarula, Triple Sec, equal parts over ice

@WorldEngineer Cream de Cacao (3/4 oz) and orange juice (3/4 oz), splash of Galliano. Served over shaved ice.

user55340

Personally, my preferred one is Apricot Brandy + Gin + something else (variations)

user55340

Apricot + Apple + gin... or Apricot + gin + lemon + orange... or apricot + gin + bitters... Apricot + gin + Cointreau...

user20683

ouzo+amaretto = almond spice cookie

@MichaelT I don't like the cream, but I like the regular.

user15026

@Snowman Indeed :)

@AshleyNunn You tried Limoncello cream?

user15026

@MichaelT Yeah, I have

user15026

I am not really big on cream alcohol.

user55340

Give it a try with the different variations on that drink...

user55340

At a pub I used to go to where I was a well tipping regular (Silly valley boom days), they'd let me stretch the rules... I couldn't take alcohol out of the pub, but I could bring unopened in.

user55340

So I bought both forms of limoncello in one time and we mixed the drink variations. I appreciated both but biased to the non-cream by a slim margin. The bartender preferred the non-cream. The owner preferred the cream by a large margin.

Hi guys, my question at programmers.stackexchange is marked as off topic and i have been suggested to ask the question here.

Q: What technology stack i should use?

To upgrade my technology knowledge, I am planning to write an automation app for our internal team. The thing that I am trying to automate is a webpage, which takes few webforms clicks and then at the end it asks for the input and submit that form. What i am looking for is a way to record clien...

user55340

There we go... had the wrong one box.

user55340

> I know Ruby is one of the hot language but not sure if it can record a webforms activity.

user55340

Ruby + Rails is often used as a quick web language.

@EmAe btw, late evening on a Friday, we can be a bit to slow to respond. Most of us have chat open as a second window while at work.

@EmAe there are many test automation tools out there that do this type of recording for you with all kinds of extensions built in so that after it's been recorded you write code into the test to automate portions and generate data for different portions etc

It would be preferable to find one and learn it instead of writing anything from scratch as the knowledge with the tool would be applicable to jobs in the future etc

I have a fair bit of experience with visual studio's web test recorder, but that isn't a commonly used one, fiddler is a simple open source web test recorder you can use but I don't know how much extensibility it has (probably a good bit but I haven't experience with it)

I believe selenium is something people use for that though I don't know if it does recording or just headless web testing

there's the whole mercury test suite which I'm sure has test recording and extensibility

SoapUI can do test automation with groovy for extensibility of the tests but doesn't do recording I don't believe

there's plenty more tools out there that are commonly used in industry for precisely the thing you're doing. Go search for web test record or recorded web test or whatever other google fu you can come up with and you'll surely find plenty of materials and tutorials on doing what you want to do in a commonly used way in the industry, which means it will be reusable knowledge throughout your career.

WHen you write custom stuff to do things like that, you end up spending lots of time building a one-off that's going to cost maintenance time and learning time to anyone else who comes along as well as being useless to you when you move on. Industry standard tools are things you could pass off to other engineers or testers you work with in the future as they may have experience with them from prior jobs, and you're likely to run into the same tools in future jobs.

@JimmyHoffa Thanks Jimmy. Actually my purpose is to learn some new programming language (web stack preferably) rather than relying on tools. Moreover, the problem with these tools is that i have to ask my team member to install those tools on their machines or configure them there. I want to put a simple app on our IntraNet and let all departments use it.

It actually is fairly straight forward.

Q: Why is one language with elegant easy to read syntax as fast as one with the verbosity or explicitness?

There are 2 distinct types of programming language design categories in my eyes. We have C++/Java/Rust/C# languages on this side, Fast for the most part but also a bit verbose or explicit. On this side, we have languages like Ruby, Python, Crystal and Nim. These languages by the popular opinion...

Interesting Lambda the Ultimate post. Everything they say about plumbing code is true, though it assumes that the only interesting thing that you can do with code is functional equations.

user20683

@RobertHarvey that's because for a lot of theorists, that's only thing code does

Robert Harvey

So basically they're saying "let's create a visual metaphor for UI and plumbing, so that we can focus the code on the actual work getting done." Hmm, I think that's been done before.

That's why so many coders now use bare-metal coding to create their UI's, even though visual UI design tools have been around for years.
