Something that all of these tools (?) are missing are tutorials around concurrency, allowing multiple sessions to be in progress, interfering with each others operation. TBH this is an under-taught area of databases in general. I have vague

Ah, wild west package repositories... Only yesterday the developers of Itsdangerous went and deleted their recently-released 1.0.0 version. That's right. Deleted. Gone. Anyone who made the upgrade and for some insane reason were usin

Thanks, man - but I am a terraform user. We use the S3 backend for state management and it works really well for us. The thing that I like most about terraform is that ultimately, it's just a tool . Just something independent and (m

The issue here is one of rights. Who owns the rights of the generated data? Especially if it was the "crowdsourced" product of n people. Does the data make any sense outside the context of Umbra's software? Is it exportable?

This is one of the things that makes it hard for me to let go of Python, even though my programming style is evolving more towards functional languages: I've become very spoiled and take for granted a lot of the peripheral sanity and g

Agreed. Seems to be fairly static routing, albeit using BGP. Doesn't appear to be a mesh protocol in sight.

This is the only way you can prevent having seventeen different copies (and probably versions) of e.g. libQt on your system at once. And once you have different versions of a library, there's nothing that can guarantee they they will a

It's not "overhead from sandboxing" that's a problem, it's the fact that translating from bytecode to bytecode to bytecode will cause it to lose some ... succinctness at each step, giving the final machine code gene
