Yeah, as an Israeli I saw this and was shocked since the Israel museum's collection is a pretty big deal here and a family member helped excavate the dead sea site and wrote a book above it (he has since passed) but forgery seemed very

I work at Testim.io, we record this sort of thing. It works pretty well but it's pretty expensive to do automation well. We work with Microsoft, Wix, JP Morgan and a bunch of other large companies successfully for years now.

Was waiting for this. The flu kills 10000 people a year in the US and pneumonia kills 45000. Suicide kills 47000 a year which makes you wonder why we aren't spending more effort on mental health given it's a bigger cause of death.

Elastic APM is better than New Relic in how it traces node and it is completely free and open source (you can use a cloud product). Disclosure and bias: I work on Node core and always hear ranting about incorrect usage in async_hooks in any

It was misclassified once by an anti virus program. When we asked why they said that it was a known bug when using WinAPI APIs in BHOs (IE extensions) They fixed it pretty soon. It was also a motivation to drop IE support (and crossrider) b

I used crossrider at an earlier startup and migrated from it when I could stop supporting IE. It worked pretty well when it worked for cross browser extensions. Our product (TipRanks) brought financial accountability to the market and it wa

Yes, and CrossRider mostly did an SDK for cross-browser extensions. I used their product before they did ads and it worked pretty well. I stopped using them because I could stop supporting IE but they had a real product back then. Teddy Sag

We actually have something similar for this for tests at Testim ( https://testim.io ) but only for tests with screenshots and state. Would people be interested in us open sourcing that part for regular debugging? I have considered

I don't use Cypress anymore as it didn't work for me but doesn't look like it. This is for debugging rather than testing. Also the timeline in Cypress didn't actually work too well for us.

I absolutely agree with this sentiment and seeing Python move further and further from "There should be one obvious way to do it" scares me. I totally get why you'd want a language with async iterators and typings and why you

You can just encrypt it before typing it down and send encrypted text so the cleartext is never on the device. It's just not convenient at all though theoretically this can be a separate device that is not connected to the internet.
