Programming@programming.dev•What's your setup for capturing screenshots of web apps automatically?
1·3 months agoI haven’t used Puppeteer but have seen similar issues with Selenium and Firefox. Yeah you have to code delays for pages to load, use onload events, maybe scan the page for text you expect to see, etc. If this is for your own site (I mean where you’re working) you can probably do most QA functions by having some special flags that disable the overlays and stuff. Also if you have disk space to burn, instead of screen shots, you can connect the browser frame buffer to ffmpeg and capture video. That can be useful for QA, since if something goes wrong, you can see an actual movie of what was happening.
Yes browsers eat ram, you just have to deal with that.

World News@lemmy.world•The 10 Best vs. Worst Job Markets in First World Countries in 2026English
3·4 months agoSpoilers:
Worst 10: Spain, Finland, Sweden, Greece, France, Estonia, Italy, Latvia, Canada, Portugal.
Best 10: Netherlands, Iceland, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, South Korea, Japan, Malta, Czech Republic, Singapore.
Order in both lists is from higher to lower rate of unemployment, i.e. worst to best.
I don’t think much of these lists I guess. I keep hearing that Germany is hosed because of inflation outstripping earnings, and lots of Germans are moving to Austria because of that.
The lists generally don’t reflect anecdotal economic conditions in those places. So I’d like to see more direct numbers about median purchasing power and stuff like that. Also for work-seekers with some mobility, exactly what kinds of openings are there in a given country and what occupations are already glutted.

raspberrypi@lemmy.ml•Pi Zero W as alternative to Pi Zero W 2 during low availability
1·4 months agoIf you want to use one, go ahead, it’s powerful enough for most non-media apps. You can also consider the PocketBeagle 2 which is more aimed at embedded use, with several a/d pins, a coprocessors, etc.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What would a half human / half centaur look like?
5·4 months ago1 centaur = 1/2 human + 1/2 horse
1/2 human + 1/2 centaur = 3/4 human + 1/4 horse.
Yay math.

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•NPR Sunday Story - an approachable story on why privacy matters and the invasiveness of surveillance capitalism
8·1 year agoNothing against NPR but I don’t want to spend 22 minutes on an audio. Is there a transcript? Also, confused Amanda Hess, the journalist, with Amanda Hesser, the cookbook author.

flashlight@lemmy.world•[Review] Wurkkos TS10 SG – mini thrower with SFT-25REnglish
1·1 year agoIf anyone cares, this light was on sale for $10 last week (not any more) and I got one along with an H25L. The TS10 SG is great, smaller than I expected and a terrific value at $10. I will EDC it for a while. For some reason I thought it came with a USB-rechargeable 14500 but it’s the TS10 Max that comes with a USB cell. It’s ok though. I will probably get a D3AA sooner or later but this will do me for now.
I also got an HD10 a while back and I like that a lot too. Unfortunately it’s being discontinued, maybe in favor of the non-Anduril HD12. So we’ll again be in a situation of having no available Anduril headlamps with USB charging. Meh.

World News@lemmy.ml•The First B61-13 Gravity Bomb Is Delivered Ahead of Schedule
2·1 year agoDoes that mean they are enlarging the inventory now? As opposed to dismantling old bombs as they make new ones (modernization while keeping the number constant)? I thought there was a treaty capping the total number but haven’t been keeping track.

flashlight@lemmy.world•[Review] SkyRC MC5000 battery charger and analyzer – a worthy successor to the MC3000?English
3·1 year agoThe manufacturer web site is almost unusable and doesn’t have an ordering button. There’s a “Where to buy” link way at the bottom, that doesn’t work for me. Web search shows this is about a US$ 200 charger. Ouch. Thanks for the review but yikes. Also I don’t want to install a phone app to use or update the charger. You are right that the missing features being important (PC interface, bidirectional USB charging).
You really have to see what the db is doing to understand where the bottlenecks are, i.e. find the query plans. It’s ok if it’s just single selects. Look for stuff like table scans that shouldn’t happen. How many queries per second are there? Remember that SSD’s have been a common thing for maybe 10 years. Before that it was HDD’s everywhere, and people still ran systems with very high throughput. They had much less ram then than now too.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Why does Signal want a phone number to register if it's supposedly privacy first?
1·1 year agoHmm ok, though if a security program needs frequent updates, that’s a cause for concern in its own right… :/















I’ve heard multiple times that using testosterone supplements degrades your body’s ability to make testosterone naturally. So once you start using supplements you always have to use them. Otherwise they sound interesting. Just a few injections and I can type in ALL CAPS whenever I want? Sign me up.
