Saying that the tax cut and jobs act was a giveaway to the rich is accurate. The bottom 10% barely got anything: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ce/1-Distri...

Saying that UBI would be canceled out by demand increases sounds absolutely hyperbolic. What would you do instead? Continue existing trickle down policies? Use weird neoliberal tax breaks that require an accountant to utilize? If we continu

"Rents went up 20-40% across the board" I don't think you can blame that on the stimulus. There are tons of other forces driving up prices, including iBuyers and the lack of affordable new construction. The stimulus barely pa

“poorer Americans have been subjected to over regulation, an increased state and police scrutiny, under the theory that individual liberty is collectively corrosive.” That seems like the thesis of the blog post. I don’t think “over regulati

I built your (pre traffic light) kit! It works great, and it has been enlightening to see indoor co2 and pm2 levels. It’s good to have something to quantify when a window needs to be opened to let in some fresh air. Here’s a picture of the

Sublime still works pretty well. It's very fast. I've tried VS Code and ended up going back to Sublime. That's a personal preference though, and I can totally understand using VS Code instead.

"The issue is that the update is pushed on users with no indication that it will then require payment." Yeah, that's a valid complaint. The v4 upgrade probably should have been more explicit about that.

Why post this now? This happened almost a year ago. Developers are expensive these days, and I understand needing to fund development. Edit: Added back "Why post this now?"

Yeah it should probably be setting “self._quick_recv = None” and “self._write = None” when it shuts down the transport. This probably would have fixed the leak too. I wasn’t seeing any leaky behavior after the fix though, so I think calling

You just need 1 other reference to the socket in code to prevent it from being garbage collected without socket.close(). For example, this won't automatically close the socket: >>> s = socket.socket() >>> ot

This SO post describes how shutdown is different than close: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/409783/socket-shutdown-v... So maybe shutdown helps in case other processes are doing something with the socket? I s

I tested your theory on a branch of py-amqp: https://github.com/celery/celery/issues/4843#issuecomment-99... It still leaks if you don't close the socket.

by postpawl 5y ago
As far as I know, the only errors that you're supposed to "except: pass" from socket.shutdown are OSErrors. I think you want anything else (if it even throws anything else?) to be fatal. This is the same way cpython handles i

by postpawl 5y ago
The sock.close() can also throw it’s own OSError, so it needs its own try/except block. For example, this wouldn’t handle the OSError on close: try: sock.shutdown() except OSError: pass finally: so

Sort of - you need to make a requirements.in file that specifies only your top level dependencies, then you run pip-compile on that file to generate the requirements.txt.

by postpawl 5y ago
That probably works for smaller projects without many dependencies, but it’s just going to install the sub-dependency versions that satisfy whatever comes last in the requirements file. The pip docs describe that situation here: https:&#x2
