@Gąska Well, I am not a clever person, so I tried embedding WebView2 instead
:fine_i_ll_do_it_myself:
What problem did you experienced?
Btw, I tried once with the package in NuGet for answering QnA question and it just works at that time.

No problems with the E
wwdge itself. It does what it says on the tin. Easier than CefSharp, more stable than the old GeckoFx, at any rate. But:- Riddle me this: the image didn't show up in the cache, and it's not a data URL either.
- Copying the canvas (screenshot) got me black bitmap of the right size about 2 times of out 5, for some godawful reason.
- I didn't quite grok digging deeper in the bowels of the engine. It isn't (or wasn't at the time) all that well documented.
To pass time before giving up anyway, I started badly reimplementing some basic scraper crap like retries, backoff,
URL patterns and stuff. You know, maybe it would be useful for more than this particular case, right? Right!? Well, no.

I've written a few web scraping scripts for that. And also for grabbing all the posts from blogs and similar.
I wrote a scraper that would grab some documentation from (IIRC) SGI's homepage. It got me blacklisted from their server for like 2 weeks.

Well did you request a page per minute or as fast as possible? Inquiring bots need to know!

He said SGI.
Back in the days when OpenGL 1.0 was the hot new thing, 1 page per minute probably got some IT guy to personally look at you in the logs.

We wrote some builds that ran on AWS one time - so we kept getting AWS IPs blacklisted on Maven central. And then by request whitelisted, and then auto-blacklisted. A mirror? Would've been a good idea maybe...

@Arantor said in Programming Memes Thread:
@DogsB wget not good enough?
No, it has decent fuzzing but cURL is more to the point here I think.
-
@Applied-Mediocrity said in Programming Memes Thread:
@Arantor If the image file is public, yes. Some of them have wised up to load it only after the page with all the ads and shit has loaded. Wget got me empty div where the img is supposed to be. The image link can be found in a js, but it's valid only once or something.
Is there some advanced wget hackery to deal with that? Either way it becomes either or .Use
newman
from Postman, I think, that'll run the scripts in an environment you can fake out enough maybe.

Is that banner a joke?

@Zecc According to the comment it seems to have been removed for being a bad joke…

It's not the first time I've seen this banner, with the actual post still appearing just below.

It's because removing a post on Reddit is Different™
Across Reddit, when a moderator removes a post, the post is unlisted from the subreddit’s main feed. But images or links within that post don’t actually disappear. Posts removed by moderators are still readily available to anyone on Reddit in the comment history of the moderator who flagged it—complete with an explanation of the rule it violates—or to anyone who retained a direct URL to the post.
“The moderator’s entire history becomes this giant list—basically an index—of everything that they’ve removed and for what reason. Reddit kind of accidentally created this giant index of stuff that humans have flagged as being inappropriate on the site,” Williams said.

Yeah, but those books take place 30 years later.

@boomzilla I always wondered if product managers always speak in user stories in casual conversations too.

Obviously he’s a project manager who communicates with the team old school.

@dkf hilarious

@loopback0 Oh, I see it.
I'm happy that I've not got the worst handwriting ever after all.

@dkf Glad I could be of service.

When I was a kid, my pediatrician's handwriting was LITERALLY JUST HORIZONTAL LINES I'M NOT KIDDING. And somehow the pharmacist still could read the prescriptions just fine!

You almost peeked behind the curtain of health care. Pink Floyd had a song about it.

@MrL except doctors always say what drugs they're going to describe. So we know it wasn't bullshit, the pharmacist really knew what's needed (by reading the prescription or otherwise).
Forget hospital staff. Pharmacists are the real heroes!

It's a scam, the drug's name is derived from clothes you wear. A cheap parlor trick.

House was a documentary based on real pharmacists?

@MrL you're lying.
You know, cuz we're talking about House, and House said everybody lies. Now, laugh at my joke!
