Interesting. I got to thinking why a negative fold (e.g. -1) is not used to indicate local times that do not exist due to standard time to DST transition (moving clocks forward in spring). It is in fact discussed by the PEP: https:/

Thanks! Yeah it does sound great for someone who wants a Linux that "just works". That was the original selling point of Ubuntu as well, but this seems to be taking it on another level for less technically savy people who want a L

Are you sure it goes like this, or just conjecturing? Transformativeness is a defense arguing for fair use, i.e. saying that yes, you copied, but because you added so much new, the new work is independent, creative and original in its own r

This is a power tool. I recently needed to edit metadata on an MP4 file. All the other tools would corrupt the data so that the app reading it did not load it anymore. But ExifTool handled this format correctly, and I was amazed by the weal

This is all fun and games until the junior dev edits the code to store the user's search history in that obfuscated appState object. The users end up sharing their URLs in public and unknowingly leaking some very private data.
