I do know from my experience with test automation that you can absolutely view a site as human eyes would, essentially ignoring all non-visible elements, and in fact Selenium running with Chrome driver does exactly this. Wouldn’t AI scraper

I love this because it demystifies the inner-workings of AI. At its most atomic level, it’s really all just conditional statements and branching logic.

This reminds me of the classic Star Trek (TOS) episode “The Ultimate Computer” where Kirk convinces the AI to commit suicide.

Reminds me of a video on The Onion where macbooks were using a single giant click-wheel as the sole input device.

Clipping diodes are common in distortion effects as well, especially guitar distortion pedals. Examples include silicon, germanium, LEDs, etc.

Yep, working with bundler and npm for a decade plus has made me appreciate these tools more than you can know. I had just recently moved to Python for a project and was delighted to learn that Python had something similar, and indeed uv is

Agree with this sentiment - it’s easy to be judgmental about these things, but project-level issues and decisions can be very complicated and engineers often have little to no visibility into them. We’re using Kafka for a gigantic pipeline

This is disturbing. There is absolutely no valid reason to make OTA updates to your ECU or other essential components. Never. Ever. If there ever was a need to do such an update, it should be made in the dealership by a professional who can

Love the design and concept of a tiny planet - reminds me of Super Mario Galaxy in that way. Definitely needs a tutorial or a short “How to Play” dialog or page.

All text should be selectable (and therefore readable) to support accessibility tools - at least if you’re app or site is Section 508 compliant or similar.

About a decade ago, I was the sole developer for a special project. The code took 2 weeks to complete (a very simple Java servlet + JDBC app) but an entire year to actually deliver due to indecisive leadership, politics, and extremely overz

I’ve tried this method, but it didn’t work out for many reasons. I often have to deal with people I don’t personally know for various reasons (mechanic, lawn care, doctors, school staff, etc.), and I have missed too many important calls lik

My Apple watch always rates my O2 2-3% lower than my finger unit, likely due to my hairy wrist.

XML might have “lost” but it’s still a format being used by many legacy and de novo projects. Transform libraries are also alive and well, some of them coming with hefty price tags.

As a Black Sabbath fan, I love that they envisioned dystopian stuff like this. Check out their Dehumanizer album.

BTW the O2 monitoring is inaccurate and unreliable compared to a proper pulse oximeter.

It’s not necessarily driving me to piracy, rather disengagement because the aggressive and deceptive practices have become abusive. For example, I pay for Disney+/Hulu and tried to watch Fargo (the series) and finally gave up after bei

If you really must embed JSON in YAML, just encode it to base64.

I certainly consider myself a software engineer first and programmer second, and you’re right, the language doesn’t matter. I recently got a position developing in Python having never really used it professionally, but it’s so similar to ot

This is just an introductory language and if you’re in a CS program, you’ll definitely move on to more advanced ones. It actually makes sense to switch to Python since it’s far more ubiquitous and accessible than Scheme. Scheme is not widel

It’s baffling that TV ads for alcohol and cigarettes are illegal, but pharmaceuticals? That’s free speech!

I get it, and mostly agree, but sometimes consumers don’t have much choice with browsers and OSs; moreover, most consumers are simply technologically ignorant or agnostic of those things. Many users don’t even know exactly what a browser or

Some of this is sensible. I especially like the idea of an interactive starting point which gives you useful links and info, but I can see how that would be difficult with more complex calls — showing examples and providing rich documentati

We implemented this recently on a Rails project as part of a Rubocop integration. It actually uncovered a lot of subtle bugs, though I will say that the Ruby language lends itself to buggy code. Thankfully we have sophisticated tooling thes

Respectfully disagree. My point is that it should be easy and intuitive to do things like this while driving , just like anything else such as adjusting HVAC controls, operating turn signals, shifting gears, etc. Most major controls and op

My car’s audio system seems to go out of its way to bury sound settings (bass, treble, balance, etc.) in as many nested menus as possible. And when you do finally find the settings, they are greyed out. I had to actually watch a youtube vid

Essentially it’s the same as it always was. Back in the day, Low-code or No-code solutions implemented by non-technical people have always resulted in engineers having to come in behind them to clean up their mess. I’ve had quite the lucrat
