Posted in Bugs I use my webcam constantly for streaming and I'm pretty familiar with all the internals and how the camera model on Windows works. I also use OBS extensively, so I regularly use the OBS virtual camera and flow everything through Open Broadcasting Studio. For my podcast, I use Zencastr which is a web-based app that talks to the webcam via the browser APIs. For YouTubes, I'll use Riverside or StreamYard, also webapps.

I've been doing not just Unit Testing for my sites but full on Integration Testing and Browser Automation Testing as early as 2007 with Selenium. Lately, however, I've been using the faster and generally more compatible Playwright. It has one API and can test on Windows, Linux, Mac, locally, in a container (headless), in my CI/CD pipeline, on Azure DevOps, or in GitHub Actions. For me, it's that last moment of truth to make sure that the site runs completely from end to end.

I love a good bug, especially ones that are initially hard to explain but then turn into forehead slapping moments - of course! There's a bug over on Github called Hysteresis effect on threadpool hill-climbing that is a super interesting read. Hill climbing is an algorithmic technique when you have a problem (a hill) and then you improve and improve (climb) until you have reached some maximum acceptable solution (reach the top).
