Most servers will natively use caching policies for serving static content as well.

Some SQL engines support accepting parameters separately so that values get bound to the query once the abstract syntax tree is already built, which is way safer than string escapes shenanigans.

Fair enough. It would be nice if Python allowed to customize the formatting options after `:` This way you could encode such identifier directly in the t-string variable rather than with some "out-of-band" logic.

Assuming you also need to format non-values in the SQL (e.g. column names), how does the `execute` function is supposed to make the difference between stuff that should be formatted in the string vs a parametrized value?

Is this wget --mirror ?

Yes but with concepts instead of tokens spelling out the written representation of those concepts.

Most of homeopathy usages target little aches and whatnots that require no treatment (beyond patience), so I guess it could also act as a buffer against overmedication.

It has not escaped close scrutiny. It's just that people don't go around accusing a specific person without evidence.

Give it a week until it is exactly that that did actually happen (not saying it has been orchestrated, just talking net result).

Most widespread obfuscation methods are solvable with a bunch of regexes. They have never been more than a first line of defense against trivial bots.

Doesn't matter. If God wants to hide he can spot you're measuring prayers and stay under the radar anyway.

The author did not understood the idea. His description of his understanding does not include any reference to the "wrong"-ness of abstractions that shouldn't exist. If I read him as-is, I should conclude that the idea is to

Above a certain threshold of talent, there is no need to negotiate at all.

The example really doesn't sell it to me. The search "what is the most common element on the periodic table" currently returns a big display with "Hydrogen" as the answer, followed by a brief explanation. That'

Good article, but it's a bit binary on the notion of incident. For the same company, it can be very serious to have a global 1h outage, but not so serious to have the internal admin interface down for 1h. This allows for more fine-grai

Any serious application beyond the example given in this article will include conditional SQL constructs which go beyond SQL query parameters and will therefore require string formatting to build the SQL. Think a simple UI switch to sort so

While I agree with the sentiment, I can see 2 counter-points: - "Nothing bad happens" might be the accumulation of risk until something _very_ bad happens. - Something bad might actually be already happening, only silently. For ex

In all cases you're going to store and manage your state some place. What you describe is managing the state using the DOM itself, which would indeed be easier if the DOM wasn't directly tied to the screen, but which would still b

Seems very weird (and fixable) that text found on the web would be interpreted by the chatbot as an instruction.

The actual answers to OP's question is that management needs to know: - how much resource to allocate to the task - variations of the estimates in function of variations of the scope In my experience, "ballparks" estimates ar

"Classical" chess engine (those based on alpha-beta search) are indeed better because they calculate faster, although so insanely faster that there is probably not enough time in a _lifetime_ for a human to win a single game again

Social consequences is a cute term for savage justice.

And yet, this part is inconsistent with the part the headline comes from: they argue for causation because they asked individual random students to quit social media for 4 weeks, and saw an improvement of their mental health.

It's not a charity you know. If they fire those many people, it's because they're confident they can go on without them. There are countries in which the law is more protective of employees, and you can't fire them unles
