I always though the recommended way to handle that split was by using setup.py as the Gemfile equivalent with very loose versioning rules, and for the Gemfile.lock case to not edit requirements.txt but to only generate it from pip freeze (o

Yeah not really sure what that was supposed to mean in relation to Rust. To me that statement would only make sense for languages that require some sort of runtime/interpreter installed rather than natively compiled. eg Python and Perl

Heh. As a young kid, "pink and green" was how I'd describe how I felt to my parents when I was nauseous. (they still 'bring that up' 40+ yrs later)

My first thought was it was a new npm package for wrapping bold and/or strong tags around arbitrary DOM nodes. Was slightly disappointed.

If it was JSSE, from memory it was probably only 768bit DHE. I think that only changed with Java 8.
