  • ICEBlock handled my vulnerability report in the worst possible way

  • Distros may not update software versions when backporting some things, meaning they add a suffix they control to the version e.g. 2.4.57-ubuntu1.2 whatever, but the version reported by the software itself might still be 2.4.57.

    It depends on the release process. I was also confused once I was asking myself why the repo was reporting a CVE as fixed when it still showed the old version.

  • heh, if it was in the show he'd be arrested for shoving the hose in the victim after disfiguring her

  • With minor infractions, the City Attorney often defers prosecution and holds an office hearing, where the alleged offender is warned and sometimes agrees to anger management courses in exchange for dropping the charges.

    Tuco taking an anger management course wasn't on my 2025 bingo

  • i didn't know you could get arrested for that, it sounds ridiculous

  • if a bishop watched me code I could be the first programmer saint. There are times only god knows how my software works. Or not, in case cursing disqualifies candidates.

  • You Don't Need Animations - Purposeful Animations

    Jump

  • As a rule of thumb, UI animations should generally stay under 300ms.

    Android designers should follow this, I always have to enable developer mode and toggle animation speeds to 0.5x or disable it entirely because the default is annoyingly slow.

    And this has been a dev setting for over a decade, it wouldn't hurt them to make animation speed selection available to users without this silly dev mode hoop.

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

  • I also have no idea if my place has PVC or galvanized steel plumbing; or its designed electrical load. Why should users care about the DBMS.

  • The future of tech interviews

  • yeah, it's absolutely madness that some companies expect people to go through 3 to 6 rounds to receive a "we'll let you know"

  • I'm new to using Ruby and this tickled me pink

    Jump

  • Because what's accurate here depends on the context, and the Python example doesn't hide that from the programmer.

    The same dilemma goes for month calculations: does "3 months ago" mean 90 days ago, 91.3 days ago, this many days into the target month, or this many days from the target month's end (e.g. to account for 28, 29, 30, and 31-day months)?

    Jump

  • yeah, that's pretty much why timedelta doesn't have the concept of months or years, just days and smaller units. I like it better this way.

  • from X import *

    That's malpractice in most cases, and thankfully, becoming more rare to find in the wild. Any decent linter will shout at you for using star imports.

    What he’s trying to do is to get people to not use non-LTR approaces when designing APIs.

    Then he should have picked examples of APIs that break this, not use the built-in functions. Because as it reads now, it seems he is just against established conventions for purism.

    this problem is huge in C libraries

    yeah, one of my favorite things about python is that everything not in the language itself is either defined in the file, or explicitly imported. Unless, like mentioned, you have anti-patterns like star imports and scripts messing with globals().
