Well if the requirements.txt is pinned to a specific version of a dependency of a dependency, you might not know or really care why that’s set. But then this becomes a nightmare and dependency hell laterif you want a newer version of some package, and that newer version requires a bunch of newer packages and loses the others. At that point you probably will toss your old file and start a new one from scratch piecing together all the requirements with like pip freeze in a new virtual environment.

Sure you could omit the versions, but then everytime you deploy, you don’t know what you’re going to get and a deployment today would be very different next week with a whole bunch of different versions of dependencies.

Yes exactly, like if I know my app needs the requests library, I will just put that in requirements.in but after compile requirements.txt will include the exact version of requests and every version of each dependency. So that every time pip install is run, all dependencies are always the same despite what happens upstream

Curious what others have to say, but my go to is to have a requirements.in with direct packages I need for the project, and then run pip-compile to generate all the dependencies with their exact version at the time so that deployments are repeatable. This works well for deployment, but if I were writing a library for others to use, I think you put the direct dependencies in setup.py

Our piracy teams are on high alert with the breach and will monitor.

Piracy team? You mean they’d pay me for what I do for free??

No airports for you

If you enjoyed the first few panels, may I suggest the short comedy series Descent on YouTube to you.

I’m interested to see what sort of keylogger or rootkit exists on it

And a documentary called Whatever It Takes: Inside the eBay Scandal

This is a great video from one of the devs about the window product activation and how much they thought about how they’d determine how many changes to a system was a new device. Idk how windows works now, but it was fairly common back in the day to upgrade often, and you didn’t need a new Microsoft license most of the time when doing so.

Always vote in primaries for local politicians, not just general election, especially every 4 years. Despite some of the shitheads with power right now, there’s been some huge upsets and more progressive candidates getting nominated and/or elected.

You’re right, i reread the article and it mentions similar lawsuits against Sony / Microsoft, so they all suck. I think the reason Nintendo is being singled out here is because there is not a lot of news with those other lawsuits, but with this one, Nintendo is trying to dismiss the case saying plaintiffs:

“received exactly what they paid for: Nintendo products that Plaintiffs knowingly and voluntarily purchased at the advertised price. Nor is there anything ‘unjust’ about Nintendo retaining money that it may receive from the government as tariff refunds. The fact that Nintendo stands to receive tariff refunds does not give Plaintiffs any legal entitlement to those funds.”

With Nintendo’s litigious history and them being the first to try to dismiss the case with this argument, they deserve the blowback they’re getting from their own customers.

I had someone on my team who we had to let go for not showing up to work, and it took 3 tries to just get him to join the call. For the backstory, he basically didn’t work for ~9 months into the pandemic when we were all working from home. He wasn’t very productive when we’d be in the office, but when WFH, he seemed to only do work when we were on our one on ones, and it got to the point where I had to schedule a 3 hour call every day to motivate him to do work. Eventually he stopped showing up to most of those and was wasn’t getting anything done, and wasn’t fair to everyone else on the team picking up the slack. Sucked for everyone involved.

Please bro, just let us watch your every movement at all times. Why you have to be like that.

FYI DMs aren’t encrypted, so they would be visible to admins (on both sides of the conversation). There is a warning about this when starting a DM, but is something to consider. I’m not sure how the delete function works, but best to go with the assumption that DMs are soft deleted (i.e. not removed from the DB, just not returned) and could be visible after being deleted.

FWIW, votes are actually public information and sent as activity pub events for the votes to be counted from different instances. For example these are the people who up/down voted this post: https://lemvotes.org/post/programming.dev/post/54017015

I guess with this info, don’t be horny on main and vote on stuff you wouldn’t be comfortable with others knowing about.

Nintendo is being singled out because they’re withholding the tariff refunds for tariffs they never paid and passed on to the customers. When the tariffs were imposed, no one really blamed Nintendo and knew it was the Administration’s fault. If Nintendo didn’t want sales to drop because of higher prices, they could have eaten the additional tariff cost until it all got sorted out. Had they done this, then they’d be entitled to that tariff refund money. Instead they passed on the tariff cost to customers, which sucks for customers but was really the only sensible thing Nintendo could have done given the circumstances, and most people aren’t really blaming Nintendo on that decision. But now Nintendo is trying to have it both ways, not pay any of the tariffs and keep all of the tariff refunds which is why they’re being singled out. It’s pure greed on their part with blatant disrespect to their customers.

I think Johnny Craig did artwork for Tales from the Crypt, but maybe it was commissioned for a goosebumps cover? I didn’t do much digging but found the auction and sketches to be the most interesting and wanted to share it.

IANAL too, but 4th amendment protections are different at borders, and this was at an international airport. The duress code is an interesting wrinkle, like what if he told them the code and the officers entered it into the phone, did the officer technically erase evidence then? I think Apple has some similar setting to wipe the iPhone after 10 failed attempts or something like that, so surprised this hasn’t come up before to setup precedence

The work is World’s Scariest Ride by Johnny Craig. Apparently according to this auction, “Johnny Craig was commissioned for a painting in 1994, and these are the concept sketches and some of the more detailed final sketches showing different P.o.V. and distance from the subject.”
