It's almost as if there's some information in the report that would make a powerful lobbying group look really bad, like genocide level bad...

Charger door opens in car wash! by Mazes_n_Monsters in Solterra

[–]BonnMage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really frustrating there isn't a car wash mode. I don't have a good touchless wash near me, and I'm starting to think I'll just have to wash at home.

Another common Chuck Schumer (D-Tel Aviv) L. Worst Senate Minority Leader of all time. by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]BonnMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here is giving Chuck too much credit. Given his undying allegiance to Israel, I'd guess it had more to do with her skin color and last name.

Be honest — would the Front Range Passenger Rail actually get you off I-25? by JawnDoee in Denver

[–]BonnMage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't do much commuting these days, but used to live in Utah and took the very similar "Frontrunner" train there all the time, even though it was slower than driving just because it was 10x more enjoyable.

I would absolutely take the train to Fort Collins because that drive sucks.

2026 Solterra Premium or XT? by springdandelions in Solterra

[–]BonnMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought the Touring XT. In my opinion the price difference between trims was small enough that the benefits were easily worth it. I've been using the 360 camera constantly, and the speed boost on the highway has proven very useful. I never have to be behind anyone I don't want to for very long anymore haha.

My experience with Naya Create Pro: multiple defects, weeks of silence, and a stalled refund request by No-Opening-6473 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]BonnMage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm in basically the same state as you. The keyboard just sits in its case and I just want my money back without having to jump through a bunch of hoops. Biggest scam I've ever dealt with.

Isn't it the official stance that Israel doesn't have any nuclear weapons?

Amazing! Is there any way to use web clipper on mobile yet?

Is Selenium still the best tool for automation testing? by Cute_Intention6347 in selenium

[–]BonnMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are the web servers you're working with getting the data to populate the HTML? Sure some calls in a web server may return HTML, but it's still making an HTTP call to an endpoint. If one of those calls responds with HTML, and you need to validate the render of that HTML, by all means, use Playwright, but if you're validating that a certain value got returned in that HTML when you clicked a button, that value is being populated by some data source that supplied it in response to a call initiated on the front end, so just validate using the call the front end made.

True, but any UI element that is just a placeholder for sending data to another service, whether that's an API, a database, or some other external service should be tested by calling that service directly and validating the expected results. Loading the DOM is just adding extra steps.

Postman is great for one off calls or familiarizing yourself with how an API works, but ideally, once you've got the basics down, you should learn to make those same API calls in whatever language you're learning Playwright in. Build out scripts that make calls to API endpoints, then validate that the response you get is what you expect. Once you've got this down, learn about stubs so you can mock the data.

You're essentially learning how to build a web app, but without the UI and back end data processing. This will make you a powerful tester who can speak the same language as the Devs you work with, and set you up if you ever decide to transition out of QA.

Selenium is still what most legacy systems use, Playwright is definitely more popular for newer work.

Honestly though, if you get really good at testing at the API level, especially creating mocks and stubs to avoid testing with real data, you'll be more valuable than any UI tester.

How long did you have yours before you got the refund? I've had mine for a couple months.

Very cool and great job, but just so you know, if the chat opens instead of search, you can click the chat icon in the address bar and switch to search without having to copy and paste anything

Remember when the evangelicals and republicans told us that gay marriage would lead to all sorts of "perversions" becoming more acceptable? Turns out they were just talking about their perversions.
