I thought MS-DOS had special handling for A: and B: since it allowed you to copy from A: to B: even with just one floppy drive.

Apologies, I focused on LLVM as a whole. You are right about clang (and I didn’t know about the arm64 backend)

Swift comes to mind, and this website has more https://opensource.apple.com/projects/ (it lists WebKit, but I guess they count WebKit after it split from KHTML, I’d agree with you there) Also, Bonjour originated at App

One could argue that this is not an issue with pip, the software, but of the index used. I mean, if you control both index and extra-index there is no problem (and one solution to this is to use your own mirror with a set resolution order).

For the attack you mentioned (reusing internal packages in a public repository) prefix reservation is one possible solution. Unfortunately PyPI does not support it.

Maybe I was too harsh. It’s the CVE in conjunction with its high severity, the maintainers’ decision and the bundling of pip with CPython. In the end what can you do about it as a dev given that the pip maintainers have decided not to fix i

Yes, I’ve also experienced this kind of attitude. Some scanning tools can detect that certain CVEs do not apply because the specific functionality is not used. I hope your team was OK with you uninstalling the VMware package manually (this

In other videos Casey argues against the profile–fix–repeat workflow (I’m not saying that you necessarily meant this by measuring), instead arguing for estimating the theoretical maximum, then trying to get close enough to it. His argument

Aren’t the shortcuts with the command key older than the PC ones (which started out as Shift+Insert etc. actually)? I wouldn’t call that desire to be different (also as mentioned below it has a lot of advantages in a terminal)

Yes and gmx (listed next to it) as well, and I’m pretty sure that gmx offered/offers multiples TLDs (gmx.net, gmx.de, gmx.at, …) I think the same goes for Alice (big ISP, offering mail addresses, in multiple countries) It looks like so

There’s a funny explanation at the bottom: > It turns out that only 9 of the first 275 checks that I've sent out since the beginning of 2006 have actually been cashed. The others have apparently been cached. So this change in policy

The Law Stack Exchange tags answers with the jurisdictions they apply to, but I think that’s the only StackExchange site that allows tags on answers.

These answers are ~15 years apart, so the vote difference is not surprising. I personally sort by ‘date modified (newest first)’ on StackExchange sites.

I get scared when I see these string interpolations in GitHub Actions. Use `env:` instead and just work with environment variables in your shell script. Yes, you still need to vet your script. Quoting is a common source of problems. Use she

PS: Did some research and while it is true that a ZWNBSP will break up ligatures in many systems, that’s not its intended use. It’s there to prevent line breaks (up to Unicode 3.2), nowadays only kept for compatibility outside of BOM. Moder

No, a ZWNBSP that’s not at the start is just a regular ZWNBSP. Can be used to break up ligatures for example

> The usual "0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3" is _not_ imprecision. Correct. That’s using the wrong base. Decimal floating point doesn’t have that problem.

I install these Python builds into distroless containers with uv python install and it just works. (If you try this with Google’s images, use gcr.io/distroless/cc, libgcc/libstdc++ is needed for some extensions, like numpy)

FWIW, ruff sees your line comment and keeps each item on its line. It only adds a trailing comma and additional space. It also does not collapse lines when there’s a trailing comma. Your output seems to be from black. IMO it’s insane to col
