Selenium IDE does, although it is much easier to do in Playwright IMO. I think there is honestly no contest now between selenium and playwright for most needs; I wouldn't ever go back to Selenium. If you are starting a brand new projec

"Docker Desktop" uses a VM for container execution on all supported OSes - Windows, macOS and Linux - default installs are not running "docker" natively at your local CLI if you are using "Docker Desktop" to

I also prefer to use these in place of # and ## for <h1>/<h2> - IMO it makes document cleaner and easier for reader to parse when markdown files are viewed as plain-text.

This is true, today. But look at things like the Digital Markets Act in the EU; there is a significant chance those "super apps" iOS and Android are forced to submit to government regulation in the future, which will create new op

While it's of course good by local UK standards, I still think sometimes London needs to recalibrate to pay closer to US norms. Cost of living in London is often just as bad as major US coastal cities. At my work, they recently introdu

This is sadly not all that unusual at US technology businesses, you will see it at far smaller firms too. Even Tesla had a patent wall in their lobby until their famous "we don't do patents" post. I've seen the same thin

If you want to make facetious arguments, starlink only needs up to “42,000 satellites, thousands of launches to install and ultimately maintain, plus a fleet of space ships”… I’m being charitable and not mentioning that each of those potent

I think you hugely over-estimate the importance of “developer APIs” to the number of bots on twitter. You’re never going to really fully defeat browser automation or HTTP request playback with automatically generated payloads. No one techni

I totally agree with you! But thanks for accusing me of bias anyway. The only question I ask is, "is there a sustainable market for affordable satellite internet access?". There is no debate it is the best connection for some pe

By Musk's own admission, it can never be competitive against the cellular providers - they have the advantage in simple radio/physics terms over satellites. I have some doubts - 4G/5G access is more and more prevalent through

Witcher 1 not so much, but Witcher 2 had a pretty good 360 port that a lot of people played in the West, and PC version did well too - across all platforms 1.7 million copies sold by 2012, another article I saw suggests 8 million by 2014. I

Good advice, but worth noting the CM4 isn't included and there are a surprising number of CM4 variants now. They only advise one specific model number (104000 - the 4gb ram no onboard storage CM4), clarification on this would be good t

Can't you just run gitlab or whatever else out of a container in 5 seconds nowadays? Map a single volume and you are likely done. Its not that it's hard to self host that I choose to use third party git services (its clearly not!)
