Depends on the task, but if your task is amenable to it, I'd consider writing tests which basically say, at a very high level: "Is the output for a given set of inputs the same?" Even if you're wrapping the entire applic

Sometimes the spreadsheets are the output of one system, but the input to the next: the spreadsheets of the Office of National Statistics in the UK are the final, and official output of a long chain of number wrangling, but when it comes to

Whilst there's a few hashing algorithms explicitly designed to be memory and time-intensive to make password retrieval impractical, most are really fast, even in Javascript. (Given there's g and so should be fine but isn't pa

An additional belief I have been disabused of: > Excel will load valid CSV files correctly. If a field contains more than 32kb of text , Excel will continue outputting that text into the next cell, and it won't be quoted, so the CSV

Text surrounded by asterisks is italicized, if the character after the first asterisk isn't whitespace. Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim. (This is intended for code.) https:/&#

Yep. requests.session fixes the vast majority of cookie / login / session / problems. Replaying the same headers is also a powerful technique, so long as they aren't constantly changing. ASPX is still horrid, but just ab

This isn't newsworthy. I'd suggest trying at stackoverflow, but your question isn't particularly well formed to start with. Which stage of the tutorial are you at? Quickly googling the error message gives https://u

One additional character may be for "I fatfingered a key as I pressed Enter". You don't need to store a second hash for any of these; just transform the sent password with (invert all characters, invert one character, delete
