Playwright vs. Puppeteer: Should You Make the Switch?

Feb 02, 2025

Although migrating from Puppeteer to Playwright requires us to spend some time and energy to learn and adapt to new changes, in the long run, it is well worth it. Playwright has obvious advantages in terms of performance, stability, and new features, which can bring higher efficiency and a better experience to our testing and automation tasks. As long as we master the key points of migration, pay attention to various details during the migration process, and optimize the code after migration, we can successfully complete this migration and make our project reach a new level with the help of Playwright!

Why Python’s Sort Is Faster Than You Think

Feb 01, 2025

Timsort is a sorting algorithm that combines merge sort and insertion sort, and it has good efficiency in practice. Tim Peters designed this algorithm in 2002 and it is used in Python (TimSort is the default implementation of list.sort in Python). The algorithm finds sorted blocks - partitions in the data, where each partition is called a run, and then merges these runs according to certain rules. Python has been using the Timsort algorithm for sorting since version 2.3. Now, Java SE7 and Android also use the Timsort algorithm to sort arrays.

Go's http.ServeMux Is All You Need

Jan 27, 2025

"Which router library should I choose?" has always been a common question faced by Go beginners. After the release of Go 1.22, the answer to this question may change. Many developers will find that the new standard library mux is sufficient to meet their needs, eliminating the need to rely on third - party packages. Of course, some developers will continue to choose the familiar third - party libraries, which is also reasonable. Routers like gorilla/mux still have more functions than the standard library. In addition, many Go programmers will choose lightweight frameworks like Gin because it not only provides a router but also additional tools required to build a web backend.
