Reminds me of someone's quote: > Reading -- and understanding -- code requires twice the brainpower of writing code. So if you used every bit of your intelligence to write 'clever' code, you won't be able to maintain

Slicing is totally hintable as well. Change the declaration to: def __getitem__(self, i: int | slice) Though to be honest I am more concerned about that function that accepts a wild variety of objects that seem to be from different domains.

The important thing about making commits separately and as much self-contained as possible is to allow cherrypicking. Say you're on a development branch and you added something new, that the Project thinks can be and should be added to

Good at bug hunting? Have you heard about how much AI slop has been submitted as "bug" - but always turn out to be not a bug - to the curl project?

If you're on a Residential IP, and your IP gets refreshed, like, every day, it's possible that one of the IP has been flagged. Cannot blame CloudFlare for that; they have an obligation to try protect the users of their CDN.

It's unfair that you cut off the quote there. Because in the next paragraphs: > And yet. > I have played this game obsessively since it came out. I cannot put it down... This game is incredible, I say to myself as a small grub br

It ultimately depends on a company's risk appetite. Some companies specify that packages need to be hosted on their internal repository/artifactory, and for these companies, pyx might be a good tool.

"Hello World" really needs to be retired, and "99 Bottles of Beer" should really be a mandatory example program.

Sometimes technical debt is kept rather than being fixed because "if we fix this some high-value technologically-challenged clients will no longer be able to use our service." This is actually solvable but will need an "out o

> LLMs will greatly reduce the amount of people required, mainly seniors Nope. LLM is unable to reason about correctness of code, since they only regurgitate code based on "most likely to come next". Rather, senior programmers

People hates YAML because doing so makes them look cool and trendy. Just like Python-hating. Even if their 'hate' is misdirected. I'm an experienced SaltStack user. If I found something I need is too complex to be described i

11.5k in 4h and GitHub does nothing?? That's truly a HUGE red flag there.

Have you ever seen algorithms written as "pseudo code"? Why do you think they do that? Answer: To make algorithms easier to understand for other humans. Python more closely resemble pseudo-code compared to Ruby. Hence Python is mo

This is why you should use type hints and some kind of type checking. sorted_list: list = my_list.sort() will raise a red flag with a type checker.

The problem with Unix Epoch is that it began in 1970. There are applications where you need dates before 1970 and that starts to get hairy.

PyCharm professional understands Django natively. Maybe try that? PyCharm also has its own type-checker that's a lot less fussy than mypy.

Well the guys at astral has no plans in the near future to create a static type checker. Ruff is great, though. I now stop using flake8+black+isort and have gone all-in with Ruff.

Use lots of typing.Protocol and you get all the goodness of duck-typing.

I maintain aiosmtpd using PyCharm and... That's it. Playing around with Ruff nowadays. mypy was proposed early during aiosmtpd development but we decided it's not worth the headache.

I just use the built-in one in PyCharm. It serves my need, which is to ensure I haven't done mistakes in specifying parameters to functions. I have no desire making Python to be statically-typed.

And is there any guarantee that 20 years later a similar weakness of WireGuard will not be found?

by pepoluan 3y ago
On the other hand, if the WireGuard implementation has a vulnerability, the attacker does not need to attack SSH at all and simply punch through WireGuard to have kernel-level access to the system. It's not defense-in-depth; it's

It's Good Enough™ for interesting 3D gameplay that doesn't need photorealism. Seriously, too many games nowadays focus on just the "visual wow" with millions of vertex + raytracing, they fall flat in terms of gameplay.
