I'm not that familiar with QR codes. Anyone know how base16/hexadecimal encoding with 0-9A-F fares in comparison? It seems like an obvious encoding to test, especially for simplicity of implementation compared to base64 and base10

Does systemd have a historical record of its defect rate being significantly greater than that of the kernel/glibc? I just checked Coverity scans, and the most recent defect densities appear to be: kernel : 0.59 glibc : 0.54

I think that the two-column compatibility table would be a lot more readable as a 2D compatibility matrix. I'm having difficulty getting a feel for what's compatible with what using the current layout.

Why not use `getopt()` which already exists in libc? (Or even `getopt_long()` if you're Linux/glibc-only? Author mentions not supporting Windows, but is unclear whether non-Linux Unices, e.g. *BSD, are intended target platforms.)

I long for the day when python is mature enough for an implementation to arise where one binary can run as all previous versions of the language and stdlib, so you can do allpy --std=py3.4 and have it "just work", in the

The number of applications to participate are not publicised - but it's an infamous race amongst ultrarunners, so I suspect they get quite a lot of applications. However - the way to apply is also not publicised, so there are probably

It is quite nice what `sed` does. A sed search-and-replace is typically shown as `s/foo/bar/`, but you can actually use any punctuation character to separate the parts. Whatever follows the "s" will be used for that

To me, it's more that invalidating the cache without it requires knowledge of implementation details (i.e. where the cache is stored, and how the cache files are named) that ideally shouldn't have to "leak" for the cache

I feel like adding an argument to the decorator that labels the "version" of the function would make deliberate cache invalidation more straightforward for cache users.
