Israeli here, pay 7$ for 200GB of data (well I pay 14$ for 400GB and use one as home internet backup because it is cheap). It used to be quite expensive here at around $100/mo for 10GB but the government broke up the monopoly and force

Not going into the CSS vs. inline bit (I think CSS modules solved this for components years ago) but I think composing components is a reasonable abstraction and it _is_ self evident because it's what we've been doing everywhere e

You don't need to copy it over - that's an incredibly frustrating flow compared to what you can get where you have to copy the correct thing or a refresh overrides your work. - If you use something like React, Angular or Vue - use

For multiple reasons but first of all because it would require both devices to be connected and online. The common alternative to overcome this is to pass the messages through the server and encrypt/decrypt them on the device (aka e2e

We have a product that does this (generates E2E tests from user interactions) - it's very tricky. If you just want to cover the auth & checkout flows it's great but if you need to model the more complex and nuanced interaction

One thing that will come up and we've found out: users want branches, they want merging and they want the ability to track their git branches with their tests.

Ungh Google OAuth is kind of frustrating - the major reason is that websites are pretty good at blocking pages that are coming from automation - and you get all sorts of issues and problems (not to mention if a company like Google (not the

I wrote an article about Cypress. I was a big fan (gave panels about cypress in conferences) but am disillusioned. For a very specific use case Cypress is great and arguably the best choice though: https://www.testim.io/blog

The "easy out" for tools in this space is to give you export (For example to Selenium/Puppeteer/Playwright). A lot of the "premium" test tools offer this functionality. The "less easy out" is an on-pr

I recomment considering learning between test runs and I encourage you to train a relatively simple model for selection on top of http-archive and tagged data. "off the shelf" machine learning makes it pretty easy to create very r

To be fair, I work for a company in this space (Testim.io) and we have had success stories with very large companies doing UI tests with the service (like Microsoft). I think the hardest aspects of testing are fast authoring and stability (

Hey congrats, I work for Testim ( https://testim.io ) which I assume is somewhat competition? Excited to see more players in this space - good luck! Most of the market is still doing manual QA and that has to change.

Hey, I remember you! Good times! I was also involved in the GoG days but I didn't think people remembered that. It changed pretty quickly due to legal reasons.

Basically several compilers are bundled (node sass, webpack and Babel) so that you don't have to download them as a user and their version is stable for the app. You can use a tool like pnpm to only ever have one copy of them on your s

I'm not sure this particular article is paid for by NSO but there is a fierce competition in this space and NSO are just one player. As far as I know (I really don't, just rumors) NSO's tool is the best one but also the prici

Of course, NSO and other players in that field can do much, much, much more than advertised to the media. Remember, the vast majority of people working for NSO worked for Israeli and US intelligence bodies. They serve in the 8200 unit doing

"Break ranks"? If you work for one of these actors (NSO with intentionally "sassy" PR or "quiet" ones like Verint or ones in the middle like Cellebrite) and leak info - you will get jailed. Breaking ranks in th

Ok, so I want to make something clear to the (smart but mostly not "in-the-know" about NSO) HN crowd. Let's say you're a Mexican drug lord or Saudi prince. You know this tech exists and the US/Israeli/European

When I was in the Israeli army, I personally saw a phone being hacked, info being pulled and the info being used to stop a terrorist attack targeting civilians. I was not involved in the hack (I served in the navy). In that particular case

Oh and I agree with both of you and would never go work for NSO. I didn't when they offered me double my current pay (I'm Israeli) and I wouldn't for triple either. I am just saying NSO is an extension and a tool of the US go

NSO is strictly regulated by both the Israeli and US government - and only sells to bodies those two approve - I guess your beef is with those entities then.

I really don't like NSO, to the point I never go to their parties and meetups even when invited and they have good parties. However it's worth mentioning they really don't see it that way. A lot of people working for NSO (or

As a maintainer of an extension with said permission I think it's important to acknowledge some extensions do need said permission. For example at the extension I help maintain (Testim Editor) we literally do test automation which requ

For what it's worth both Google and Mozilla are paying customers of competitive intelligence from said companies. It's super easy to blame some semi-known Israeli company where in fact it's a way for companies like Google to

Cellebrite and NSO are unrelated and are offensive cyber companies. Companies like SimilarWeb and Alexa (not Israeli) do the thing OP describes.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. The transition I've seen people who enjoy traveling and hanging out with friends a lot is to developer advocate roles where they travel a lot to conferences. I actually did that quite a bit last y
