I hit annoyances when using sqlite when dealing with some corner-cases. I wanted to implement a lock and share some small amount of data (who did what when) between two different linux users on the same machine. I figured "sqlite is be

Yes, and slowly upgrade from bcrypt(sha1(password)) to just bcrypt(password) as uses reenter their password. Do the same when you finally upgrade from bcrypt to whatever is next. No harm in specifying the encryption 'state' in you

One complaint about buildbot is that if you get too creative, your buildmaster.cfg gets very hard to maintain, but if you stay very diligent, just having python (and being able to print or log whatevery is happening) makes debugging and hav

Maybe the spry takeaway is that you should write tests for things you want to make sure they will not break. Your UI being off by a pixel won't break your application, so if a test hangs on that, then it is not a good test. However, yo

Pandemic Legacy is a real gem. Me and my friends are having a great time playing it. Even if you have played pandemic to death, the twists at every month make each game distinct and encourages you to try different strategies and characters.
