o4-mini, not to be confused with 4o-mini

I don’t think this goes far enough. Kids see adverts for this stuff in so many other places, TV is just one small step. Take a kid into a supermarket and there’s junk food advertised everywhere.

Maybe this is why Apple still hasn’t properly grounded it’s MacBooks, that light buzz you get is a brain boost!

Sounds a lot like Simon Willison's open source project shot-scraper

I agree that mechanize is an excellent scraping solution, but for something really basic like this where we're not clicking links or submitting forms it seemed like a bit of an overkill :)

You can redirect the output of the script to a json file, so in this case something like:

$ ruby scraper.rb > showings.json

For gem man pages I recommend checking out http://defunkt.io/gem-man/

Glad you enjoyed it!

I've noticed this as well, there aren't enough articles that give a heuristic view of testing as a whole process.

Hopefully I'll get time to write "part 2" of this article soon, with a walk-though of testing the whole stack.

http://thechangelog.com/ is a great blog to follow for interesting GitHub projects, it also powers parts of the "Explore GitHub" page that @mojombo mentioned.
