That's what I've always liked about Sphinx: you can get reference docs extracted from source code, but you can also surround them with more in-depth introduction or explanation. For example, these are the reference docs to a packa

Author here. I just learned about esdoc this morning; thanks for mentioning it! But it doesn't appear to be much of an improvement over JSDoc for my purposes, as you still get little control over the organization of your content. It is

You might prefer the more technical introduction at https://mozilla.github.io/fathom/intro.html#specific-areas-w... . It talks about Fathom in terms of declarativeness. > "on a selection of" One has to star

Pretty much. You use OpenVPN Connect ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/openvpn-connect/id590379981?... ) and set up openvpn on a VPS somewhere. The only exceptions are a few things like Facetime and Apple'

There is one setting, underdocumented, which makes a big difference these days. spamc has a default ceiling of 10K, messages larger than which it passes unchecked. Spammers have started routinely including images just over that threshold to

No, it really isn't. Download a copy of SpamAssassin, train it on 400 hand-picked spams from your own mailbox, train it on 400 arbitrary hams as well, and you will have very accurate spam filtering. I was shocked how well it worked; I

Don't forget that pip 8 and above have hash verification built-in if that's all you need: https://pip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#... . A hash-happy `pip freeze` equivalent i

I've been doing this (with a different util) as my primary way of navigating for 20 years. It makes screen clutter irrelevant. Without physical function keys, I can't think of a way to maintain this with the same convenience, bein

For about 15 years, I've bound each of my commonly used applications to a function key. This lets me work on a laptop-sized display without constant, furious alt-tabbing or hunting around with the mouse. Add an external keyboard with p

I admire the compactness and power of Smalltalk. What advice would you give language designers looking to keep the cognitive load of a new language low? What was your design process like, and would you do it that way again?

SHA1 collisions are affordable for large actors now and getting cheaper all the time, so git, with its SHA1 assumptions hard-coded, unfortunately doesn't protect you anymore. But the local hash approach is a good one, proven in pip 8 (

A little off-topic: since 10.10 or so, FileMerge has started opening the bottom, free-editing pane by default—and at a random height, at that. Has anyone figured out how to disable that? It's driving me into the arms of a different, ot

Hi, Mozilla developer here, speaking for only myself. I'm not sure why we don't make this clearer on the wiki page, but I think the reason there's no override is that any malware installation routine would simply activate it

I'll just leave this here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/peep/ . (It verifies Python package downloads against local hashes.)

Mozilla employee here, speaking for myself but pretty close to the info source. That's actually what we're looking at doing: the sandbox would be in there, harmless, by default, but the actual crypto module (the "CDM") w

Use of peep is based on a chain of trust. How do you trust your source code in the first place? That's how you trust your requirements file. As for how you arrange that trust, comparison of git hashes with a test-passing build on your

That's the long-term plan, but it's hung up in bikeshedding for now: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1175 . My faith in our ability to do it soon is evidenced by my release of a new feature releas
