Re:By far the best QA automation tool for iOS app? on Thursday October 01, 2026 @04:02AM (#49919010)
Been struggling with automated UI test on an iOS app that has been around over 10 years with very complicated structure and without accessibility elements properly implanted, then I found this project by Bytedance. Pretty impressed, would like to know what other thinks and if there are better tools, both for dev and non-dev testers.
Great work done by this company, but I wonder why social networks like Instagram isn’t doing this themselves to protect children? If a paid service has caught so many already, you can imagine the scale of the problem... Hope I’m wrong and they are doing it.

Re:C'mon Craiglist, Launch an API Already on Saturday June 30, 2012 @10:11AM (#4181651)
I don't see why the fuss about Craigslist not providing an API:

1. Anyone is free to come up with a better provide that serves Craigslist users' needs, you can argue that craigslist is the dominant player and it's hard to steal users from them, but many niche-focus startups have proved otherwise (or they simply don't have a compelling enough products);

2. When it comes to the time Craigslist fails its users functionally and aesthetically, it's hard to imagine no other players will surge up in the game;

3. Even if Craigslist provides an API now but doesn't improve its user experience, do we just want it to serve as a database for all other services that piggyback on Craigslist?

So my message to Craigslist: "Just think hard about how to serve your users better. You're not an asshole for restricting data access to your site, but it is irresponsible to waste other engineers lives on trying to defeat you while you can easily make yourselves better for your users!"
