New generation of tech. Same old problems scraping webpages.
> In the linked video below, Coffeezilla shows how actions fail when applications change their graphical interface - like Doordash, the US version of iFood, which altered a small hamburger menu in its interface, breaking the Rabbit R1’s action.
- hoherd 2y agoI don't know about anybody else, but the words "doordash", "hamburger", and "menu" made that sentence difficult to grok. I thought "How can altering the contents of a hamburger (food) menu (list of foods you can order) in a food ordering app break the device the app is running on?" Edit: yay for downvoting me for being unable to grok a sentence on the first try. That's truly the spirit of HN. /s
- bowsamic 2y agoA hamburger menu is a specific UI element (the one in many apps that reveals an app's functionalities and is rendered as three stacked horizontal lines). Now that I've told you that, you should be able to grok it.
- hoherd 2y agoNo, I got it. I just didn't get it the first few times I read the sentence.
