It's a 2to3 mod that makes codebases compatible with both versions, instead of doing a Python 2 -> Python 3 conversion. I'm fine with 2to3's integration in distribute, which also allows supporting both from the same package, but some pe

Prosecution seems to be politicised, and pursue cases according to who controls the executive branch rather than according to the interests of the general public. I'd like to know which countries have taken steps to make prosecution more in

RAR isn't used for compression. The archives offer checksumming and splitting, but they shouldn't be compressed. That subset of the RAR format is unencumbered.

Interesting idea. There are some extra challenges when the scanning is not done live. Does Etsy accept url shorteners? Including some that allow editing? Is it feasible to rewrite the content to have the redirected URLs?

The vulnerability was public, known for years, and no doubt already exploited. Making a splash about it on GitHub, popular as it is with rails hackers, is the best thing that could happen to the security of the rails ecosystem.

I've reenabled Firefox's minimum font size; it's a bit buried in the preferences (fonts->advanced) but it's more effective to fix sites where the sizes lack consistency. For most sites NoSquint works well.

Nope, Unix time is aligned on UTC days, which means it jumps back by one when a leap second is inserted (and would jump forward when one is deleted): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time
