Playwright has screenshot comparison built in, including screenshotting a single element, blanking specific elements, and comparing the textual aspects of elements without a visual comparison. You can even apply a specific stylesheet for co

Not hard drive related AFAIK, but I used to work in a media lab with about 30 mac desktops of around the powermac g4 vintage. We noticed that the macs were rebooting unexpectedly when certain people were in the room. After a bit of observat

My immediate thought at the start of this article was not DoS but more about harming the company using the chatbot (Company A) by increasing their chatbot bills. In many (most?) cases they will not be hosting their chatbot and will instead

I was looking for a way to handle this some time ago, and found that the good people at NIST had already thought about it a lot more. They made a tool called ACTS which allows you to specify some variables which affect your testing, then ge

Lego promote the idea of less too. They make durable products and through Lego Replay they will find a good home for your unwanted Lego bricks.

You wouldn't have them bunched up if you were celebrating the anniversaries, unless all the music you were interested in was from the same year (or only years where 11 September was a Tuesday, say).

Because the OS data doesn't provide addresses, just locations of the postcodes in coordinate terms, so you can't provide the typical website address lookup.

It's mostly used to get clean address data on form inputs. The user thinks they are being given an easier way to enter their address, but really it's so that the PAF can be used to ensure the address lines are used consistently an

I've been a consumer of the PAF for many years through work. In the bad old days (10 years ago), when we got it from a well known credit check company, it came on CDs. We then moved to "automatic" updates via their rubbish, b

Given that OSM has a lot of building addresses and locations (at least it has building names and numbers and the streets they are on, plus their outlines) I wonder how much of the PAF could be recreated from the data in CodePoint Open combi

It's far from universal and much less used than postcodes for general purpose location, the company just pushed very hard with UK advertising and did a deal with the ambulance service because "everyone trusts the NHS"

...meanwhile, Playwright is sipping piña coladas? It seems like the choice of Selenium might be a bit limiting if it doesn't allow scrolling, doesn't give access to http status codes and doesn't do full page screenshots or sc

Those 16k screens would need to be very large and very close to the viewer for the human eye to be able to resolve the individual pixels.

You really don't need mapping to get reasonably efficient cleaning. We have a robot that's nearing 15 years old with no mapping, but the algorithm it uses is pretty effective. The mapping represents huge over-engineering for what

This is similar to the idea that if you scaled the Earth to the size of a standard size 5 football and dried it off, you would barely be able to feel the mountains or trenches on the surface. The water is therefore a very thin film over the

So I believe this rules out a supply chain attack where someone buys a bunch of CPUs, infects them, repackages them and sells them as new. If you can't do that, then this feels significantly less problematic.

I think when you dig into people's self-promotion pitches you often find they're less impressive than they initially appear, so taking them at face value might be bad for your morale. I have no problem with a 22 year old blowing t

I don't know if they still have it, but the AI playlist builder on Spotify could do stuff like that. If you play a regular playlist on Spotify called Reggae or Rare Reggae or obscure Reggae you can bet your life it has a few Bob Marley

I agree strongly. Listen to the radio stream for any reasonably niche artist (especially if they have had a single "hit") and you will be treated to 3 or 4 different mixes of the same song within the first hour. For some purposes

Importantly for music discovery, Tidal make it relatively easy to browse by record label so if you're not listening to major label pop stuff you can pretty easily find a bunch of artists in a similar niche. If that is possible on Spoti

I remember going to an event in 2006 called "Mapchester" in Manchester, UK to gather data for OSM with GPS units and digital cameras. It's come an incredibly long way since then!
