Yeah my big thing was this needed to be local, because I want to test against localhost, so rather than a web app, a desktop app made sense. I'd like to build in some sort of team features to it, so that you can collaborate with other people.

This was only my second desktop app ever, my first being a DVD burning app for the Mac, so you can guess how long ago that was!

That's the idea, it's very much for non-developers.

It doesn't interact with your code at all (yet). The tests are in English, so mostly it's not designed for developers.

It's an interesting idea, but currently other apps are way better setup to scan code (like vscode and claude code). What I have done is ask claude to scan the codebase and generate a full series of English language tests in a markdown file. Would be good to ingest that, but for now I'm just using cut and paste.

PTS is an app I wrote to enable you to write playwright tests in English, and manage your test suite in a UI.

It's crafted after the postman/bruno style of collections of tests with variable interpolation.

I wrote this because I couldn't find anything similar to a previous YC product I'd used called Rainforest.

It runs your tests and takes screenshots along the way, so you can see where it went wrong. Run multiple browsers for the same test too.

It's MIT, and I'm open to ideas or enhancements.

I knew Aaron back in my IRC days. He hung out with us to talk about RDF for a good couple of years. We chatted almost every day.

He was lovely. And a genius. Maybe he changed, but he was a truly nice person.

I mean the parent said OpenAPI + JSON Schema, not JSON Schema alone. OpenAPI has a ton of generators that are tweakable in the extreme.

I really hope you re-evaluate this comment. You italicized “giving”, I assume to imply something. This man was clearly a monster, and I don’t need a court to tell me that.

In Javascript you just need to wrap in `new RegExp(r1 + r2 + r3)`.

It’s an interesting reply but your conclusion feels like a stretch to me. Mostly because that’s a very long time ago. Access to information has massively changed since then. I feel like saying America can’t have a good relationship with alcohol is a cop out.

Are there statistics that compare other countries? I have found in my personal experience that countries that actually have lower minimum drinking ages seem to have better relationships with alcohol.

Attempting to artificially force age 21 as the limit is foolish, creates de-facto criminals, especially in universities, and forces adults who want to try drinking to have to hide it. This isn’t a sane policy.

It’s not, but Google/A came in with great fanfare and seemed to get more leeway than other constructions do due to their name and their sci fi promises.

But it’s important for people outside of Toronto to understand that this isn’t what most people would call “downtown” either. It’s in one of the least accessible parts of the city, that for that reason has historically only been used by industry. Transit is improving there, but it’s not somewhere I’d want to live. So maybe low rise is all that can be sold there? I don’t know but there are other high rises going up now in that area. How are their sales?

I recently missed an email from the UK government regarding a passport application, it went to Spam. Talk about missing the mark!

Super curious about this response saying on gmail you have more control, because from where I am the “mark as spam” button does nothing but move things to the spam folder. In theory it should learn from that but when someone used my email address to sign up for AT&T no amount of marking things as spam will stop their emails landing in my inbox.

Because this “infrastructure” isn’t useful to anyone except people who might choose to live there. The location is virtually an island (if you consider the highway that separates it from the city to be equivalent to a river). It’s in a location nobody would go for anything other than their proposed buildings. There’s literally nothing useful there right now except parking for large events held in tents on that car park.

I recommend reading their proposal. It’s so tiny that all this noise over it is so pointless. Heated sidewalks would be nice though. Especially this week. But no, our city should not be investing in this.

VA Linux is often forgotten too. Due to Linux in the name, and even a sexy ticker symbol, rose a crazy 700% for those in on the initial offer price. And there were a lot of those people because they added everyone who had their names on any software included in their Linux distribution. Myself thankfully included.

Take a course on compilers. It will teach you these things and give you a much more fundamental understanding.
