   I don't know of one. However, Python's socket API is mostly a thin wrapper around the C socket API. Assuming you know Python, it should be easy enough to learn from a tutorial like this one without a Python-specific guide. Note th

   This reminds me of Tempest in a Pothole, an episode of The Paper Chase TV show from 1984: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEFBX4M5LCQ&t=2896s The thrust is that standards of accountability are (or should be) higher for

    I think this is reasonable. Plasma 6 recently appeared in Debian Experimental, Qt 6 is already in the Stable branch, and a new Debian release seems likely in the coming year. I expect the folks managing Ubuntu just want to make sure their

    These dependency managers are something of a double-edged sword. They avoid a lot of work if your project has a lot of external packages, but they also encourage pulling in lots of external dependencies without much thought. Every one of t

    I gave eight examples (which themselves are an incomplete list). Nitpicking at two of them while ignoring the rest, and projecting fault onto people who experience them, doesn't refute the overall point. This is worth a read: https:&#

    It doesn't have to be problematic. For example, PipeWire in Debian Stable is at 0.3.65 and probably won't get major updates until the next Debian release. However, that's only part of the picture: Its early presence in Debi
