I think that would be up to you; just use a union struct with that data and send/receive the corresponding int.

Heh, that made my morning. I was reading the specs on the cube and grinning like a fool. Thanks for sharing this.

OP did say "no room for SATA drives", those SSDs are SATA. That said ... I do have room for a couple of SATA drives :-)

If it were possible to sink your teeth into them and extract enough cash such that it would sting, things like this wouldn't happen. It's only because it costs them exactly zero dollars and cents that they feel they can get away w

I don't think so; the streets are paid for by whatever vehicular taxes, the sidewalks are paid for by property taxes, there's income and sales taxes for additional financing; charging for parking is just adding salt to the wound.

Thanks, I was wondering how to explain it :-)

Unions aren't there for "Ownership" of companies or cooperatives, they're for improvement of member's work lives, it can be training, worker contract negotiations, as go-between when dealing with management or owner

No, but it's very probable li2uR3ce bought things that were portrayed as being much better than they actually were. These days "profitable" for the seller rarely equates with "good value" for the buyer.

I don't know you, but when I know exactly (or even approximately) how difficult something is I say "It's [really] not that hard". Someone saying "how hard can it be" is kind of a flag that they have zero idea o

There would be no need for people attempting to circumvent stupid restrictions if stupid restrictions didn't exist in the first place.

I feel very disappointed too after reading it; there's no "Mystery" in the behavior of those numbers, the only unexplained (as of now) is the huge spike, but the subsequent reduction in traffic is explainable by "the cli

The wheel, kept on an Sudafed repository, will let you lock down your supply chain, plus no need to rebuild every time it gets used. I would build it once for whatever required architectures are needed, build wheels for them, amd use those

Use "pip wheel": https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_wheel/ The package should be installed first, then create wheels from all of them, finally upload them all to a repository for storage.

That sounds like a job for "firejail", at least in linux. Implementing that as part of python would be a major undertaking, and I wouldn't necessarily trust it, I'd prefer an external tool implement the sandbox.

Vastly different use cases. Publish a module as a wheel if you want to be able to use pip to install it in your servers, or anywhere really. Once you've built out your virtual environment you can build your docker image and push it to

I hate when people reduce that line of the zen in that way; it's actually: "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." That is different from "there's only one way of doing it" in so

I've read "they're too/so/very fragile" so many times, but nobody has given me an example of how or why they consider them fragile, what steps do I need to do to break them. Myself? I consider them ephemeral: I

You're right, it's a pain to switch, BUT: you only have to do it once, if you do it right. Switch to an alternative that gives you the functionality you need (TOTP, and that's it, for me at least) and allows you to export yo

nohub doesn't attach nor redirect the stdin/out/err, it intercepts the HUP signal that apps receive when their controlling TTYs are disconnected. Implying "tail -f $LOGFILE" is akin to tmux reattaching to a console
