So the "dotnet" command is only in the SDK, not in the separately downloadable Runtime? Does the Runtime have some other command to launch an executable? Edit: Actually, the ".NET Runtime 6.0.4" [1] (not the SDK) definit

Ah, yes, my mistake. Although PowerShell sends its own telemetry, the additional telemetry from the .NET platform is only sent when you use the dotnet command [1] and, as a special case, not when you very carefully invoke it only "in

PowerShell "sends basic telemetry data to Microsoft [...] about the host running PowerShell, and information about how PowerShell is used" [1]. And since it relies on .NET, that also requires its own separate opt-out for its telem

I see, thanks for clarifying. My reply was in reference to the "benefits of using a session over the raw password" and HTTP basic authentication more generally, so if Lenovo are using sessions it doesn't apply in this particu

Everything is always* scoped to the entire function in Python. Perhaps that's not always ideal, but at least the rule is simple. * Well, not variables in generator expressions. There might be a few other exceptions.

If you're sending the password in plaintext with every request and using it for authentication (e.g. using HTTP basic authentication) you're essentially logging in with every request, so you will have to hash the password in order
847.

Performance would be another benefit, wouldn't it? Password hashing algorithms are deliberately slow, so doing it for every request adds some overhead compared to doing it once and establishing a session ID. (Assuming that the password

Apparently you have to get a new CPU to fix this Java vulnerability, or alternatively a new PSU. (That is to say: a Critical Patch Update or a Patch Set Update . Did they really have to overload these TLAs?)

What about when there's some environment-specific (or otherwise problematic) dependency that you need to mock because it can't be imported where you want to run the unit tests? Patching it afterwards doesn't work when the imp

Hmm, perhaps there is no such thing as a constructor in Python then? As the documentation says, "__new__() and __init__() work together in constructing objects". In Java's constructors you already have access to the instance
852.
by ptx 5y ago
At the risk of showing my ignorance... what makes Python's __init__ fundamentally different from Java's constructors? The latter also has access to the "this" reference with some of its state initialized and some not.
