Using Headless Chrome with Selenium in Python

Updated March 25, 2021. Published March 14, 2018. 12 Comments

Headless Chrome and regular Chrome have the same capabilities, and running them with Selenium is a very similar process. The difference is that Headless Chrome does not generate any sort of user interface. In other words, no browser is visibly launched. If you happen to be web scraping with Selenium, it’s often helpful to see […]

Intro to Python, Chapter 8 – Opening the Door

Updated March 25, 2021. Published November 8, 2017. 2 Comments

Baldric was suddenly standing in a crowd of soldiers. Not Imperial soldiers thankfully. These were more ragtag, wearing random bits of armor here and there. Some had swords and shields, though most had spears or clubs or long knives. One formidable-looking woman appeared to be wielding a frying pan. They were all hurrying away in […]

Baldric had been a town guard for years, breaking up fights and catching thieves and helping the elderly cross the street. When the Empire arose and moved him to HR, he dragged prisoners to staff meetings and hauled corpses away without thinking much of it. Law and order was better than letting those rebels Management […]

Magic-wielding escapees were desperately deflecting the Imperial attacks on the fortress’ supports as best they could, but Baldric could see it was only a matter of time before they all took a dive, like so many employees before them, into the lake of fire. Of course, HR prisoners usually died by some other means first, […]

Baldric groggily opened his eyes and was greeted by a splitting pain in his head. He had been having the strangest dream, something about a crystal, and a snake eating its own tail, and…a singing head of cabbage? Strange indeed. He looked around in the dim torchlight and found himself in a large cell of […]

Baldric emerged from the passageway to find himself in an enormous cavern, its ceiling lost in shadow. Great columns of black stone soared from the ground, and pools of lava bubbled throughout, lighting the cavern in a dark red. The heat was suffocating. Baldric saw Bill standing on a stone outcrop nearby, apparently scanning for […]

Emerging from the sewer, Baldric found himself in the basin of a dry fountain. In its center was a marble statue of a massive fist which appeared to be composed of many entangled bodies. Employees, by how they were dressed. There were holes in various mouths and eyes that were apparently meant to be channeling […]

Something was really bothering Baldric about 106479825301.0, the answer to the mysterious request he’d received. Sitting down at his desk after enduring his meeting with Kevin, he realized what it was. If you only looked at the answer’s whole number portion… …then every number from 0 to 10 appeared exactly once in the larger number’s […]
