I can’t see how it would ever be possible with Python to do this. You depend on two packages, each with a function that returns a “requests.Request” object. These packages depend on different versions of “requests”. How would you implement

Yes, you obviously can fit 10 TB of data onto a developer laptop with 10tb of external storage. However you’ll run out of disk before you run into Postgres issues.

You missed the part of your comment that explains how flatpack is anything close to what the author described, outside of basic sandboxing of often outdated applications with spotty OS integration and poor support in the ecosystem.

Browser version guards[1] seem a bit scary: it just does basic user-agent parsing rather than actual feature detection, which is not exactly a great thing for the web as a whole. 1. https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/7_2_rel

That’s a strawman argument: nobody seriously considers a different language because of a “fancy min/max”. However, hygienic macros that fix entire classes of issues (including this) is a more compelling argument. Not to say that it mak

You can likely do this without the GitHub API, with just the git protocol itself. Just ask for the commits and see what the server says.

Why do they make it so difficult to find a code sample that concisely shows what this is and why you should use it? I’ve visited about 15 links and found some go code[1] that doesn’t really make it clear. It’s like Terraform, but for Window

If we take WASM as an example, you could strictly bound the number of instructions executed for a given request in order to keep things performant. I’m not clear on what “bad things” they wheee imagining though?

I don’t get why we need only a declarative manifest format to specify blocking rules. Chrome has the ability to run code in a sandboxed environment with no external network access. This could be done in JS, or it could be WASM. So, why can’

I think “Pin” is a good example of a technically correct but hard to understand name. “Drop” has a much more familiar meaning because it’s a common action, whereas “pinning” isn’t so common and can mean different things in different context

You’re not displaying a pattern of healthy behavior by creating numerous new accounts to try and provoke an argument on such a stupid point, without contributing anything of substance to the discussion.
