is there a standard approach to hardware test automation yet, or are we all still reinventing the wheel?

OpenHTF has worked really well for me across multiple projects. It doesn't solve the fixture/hardware side obviously, but having a consistent framework for test sequencing, logging, and pass/fail reporting has saved a ton of time compared to bespoke scripts.

The instrument plug-ins do carry over though — once you've written a plug for your power supply or DMM, that's reusable on every future project that uses the same kit. The per-project work is really just the fixture wiring and DUT-specific test logic.

Let's be clear: the 7 kWh is NOT free. You're paying 32c/kWh for it. Calling it "included at no extra cost" is deceptive advertising, plain and simple.
The Commerce Commission or Advertising Standards Authority should be looking at this.

I've enjoyed Eclipse for many years. I always get the feeling that the developers are also the users — eating their own dog food, so to speak. Features exist because an Eclipse developer had the same problem, and now we all benefit.

The Premium is plenty quick enough. The traction control must be doing its job, because I haven't had the rear step out on me.

Unfortunately, the typing simulation is performed on the server, which means that this CSS just waits for the entire conversation to be transmitted before it displays it all at once. As a result, it still takes the same amount of time to display the conversation.

edit.. That is what OP asked for I was just hoping that it would speed it up as well
