It doesn't mean anything useful in this context. It's a leftover from when PyPI was called "the cheeseshop", which in turn was a reference to a Monty Python sketch.

I've been looking for something exactly like this for a while — a small Python library for generating HTML that isn't prescriptive about framework and doesn't introduce any particually weird syntax. Jinja2 macros are... not g

I'd suggest there's a correlation between the size of those package repositories and how much they get talked about. npm has several times the package count of PyPI and RubyGems together, and I don't think that can be account

The first example (i.e. `yaml.load()` in Python) doesn't work with the current version of PyYAML. Function application was disabled some time ago, and `yaml.load()` logs a noisy deprecation warning telling users to use `yaml.safe_load(

Because package managers are used for more than just source code - many packages want or need to distribute intermediate or compiled artifacts.

"Just block ads" isn't a useful answer here - this is about being able to see who is advertising to the people who aren't using ad-blockers (which is most users on the internet), and being able to do research into who is

Bitcoin is currently estimated to be responsible for ~0.21%, more than either Hong Kong or Iraq use [1]. Criticisms of Bitcoin have been around as long as the hype - cryptocurrencies were never going to save the world. [1]: https:/&#x

Definitely impressive. The short description seems a little vague or misleading to me though. "Internal tools" can mean a lot of different things - deployment tools, testing tools, data management, etc - so I expected something mo

The second function only accepts strings defined at compile time, meaning it can't be called with strings created at runtime (i.e. any string containing user input).

There are millions of working, reusable electric cars; and tens of working, reusable rockets (maybe even less than that). Tesla is having problems building factories, but that certainly doesn't mean electric cars are hard to make.

Slack's inclusion feels a little odd, since the customer in their case is the business paying for the service, not the individual. They do claim deleting a workspace cannot be undone.

This means almost nothing without a baseline to compare it to. I'd suggest it's very likely that you'd get similar results if you surveyed any other age group - that individuals give higher estimates of their ability than so

The npm repository is the largest package repository in the world. A lot of the major incidents they've could have happened to other ecosystems (e.g. PyPi allows a user to delete packages that other packages depend on), but they'v

"Don't ask, don't tell" meant something very different in the US military - barring openly LGBT people from service, but allowing "closeted" LGBT people to serve.
