Umm, not sure which version of notepad.exe keeps a lock on open files. None that I've used in the last 25 years.

The source data is from the UK so it has nothing to do with the health insurance attached to specific jobs. Healthcare is covered via general taxation in the UK.

A lot of those date and time pickers will fail WCAG testing as well. In most cases, GDS now use just 3 text fields for day, month and year, but recommend pickers for dates close to today's date e.g. for booking an appointment, because

Amazon's product search is largely useless, at least in the UK, now. It typically returns many items that don't include your search term, are outside the price range you specified and are not sorted in the order you asked for. The

Probably not the first AI wrapper around Playwright this week, and certainly not the first this month. I think this use case of automation in a BPA sense is more compelling than using it for test automation, because the latter is much more

I think the Street Complete approach is much more practical than anything voice based: slightly gamified "quest" based entry which lets you tackle an area or a data type in detail. It's pretty much impossible to do any meanin

Thanks for the detailed response. The Playwright dev team would probably say that you should avoid using IDs as selectors and instead favour the use of selectors based on user-visible aspects, e.g. "a link including the text 'cat&

Thanks for this. In general I'm in favour of products removing the dates so that people don't chuck out perfectly good food based on superstition/misguided obedience, but an annoying side-effect is that if we have two unopene

The axe element will be the same each time, but you can do that without any AI shenanigans - just run it in a normal Playwright test. My question was really about the page interactions and the assertions being driven by AI: if they are goin

Playwright (and axe) is a good option, but how do I have confidence it's performing the test correctly and repeatably? If the test seems flaky how do I know it's the software and not randomness of the AI part? I want tests to be p

Thanks for this - it's a very accessible format. I stumbled on this fantastic piece promoting the use of UTC time, but incidentally giving a great history of the standardisation of time more generally and the adoption of 24h clock not

In this country many teachers have been taught that it's important for kids to be able to use a range of approaches to solve a problem. They then force them to use each of the prescribed set of methods even when they are totally inappr

Great idea for a game and very playable. As others have said, it is much more interesting than 2048 due to the reduced repetition. It still seems beneficial to stack high value pieces out of the way (e.g. your biggest in the corner and then

As the article says, you don't need an active subscription to be vulnerable. In this case it seems that if the model supports the features at all, you are vulnerable. This makes sense, because they want people to be able to subscribe t

I'm not sure that Luddites really represent fighting against a process that's flawed, as much as fighting against one that's too effective. They had very rational reasons for trying to slow the introduction of a technology th

Aaah, but can it show you into a room with a toilet, sink, shower and bath in it and tell you "This is the bathroom"? If not, you'll never unseat the seasoned professionals of the UK real estate sector ;)

It actually varies a bit in the UK (always for the seller as you say) with a possibly surprising relationship with property value: properties at the top end typically pay a higher % than those in the middle or at the bottom.

Or check out "money printer" on github: a tongue in cheek mashup of various tools to take a keyword as input and produce a youtube video with subtitles and narration as output.

Prior to Google we had Altavista and in those days it was incredibly common to find keywords spammed hundreds of times in white text on a white background in the footer of a page. SEO spam is not new, it's just different.

Sounds like a prooblem that can be solved with a Playwright script with a bit of error checking in it. I think this needs more elaboration on what the Finic wrapper is adding to stock Playwright that can't just be achieved through more
