PSA for Debian Testing users: read the wiki
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting
Control-F security
returns 18 results. This is well known and there's even instructions on how to get faster updates in testing if you want.

My thought was that a lawsuit is more expensive than arbitration, but settling a class action lawsuit is cheaper than thousands of arbitrations.

Thanks for sharing. We use all pytest-style tests using pytest fixtures. I'll keep my eyes open for memory issues when we test upgrading to python 3.12+.
Very helpful info!

I'm most excited about the new REPL. I'm going to push for 3.13 upgrade as soon as we can (hipefully early next year). I've messed around with rc1 and the REPL is great.
Do you know why pytest was taking up so much RAM? We are also on 3.11 and I'm probably going to wait until 3.13 is useable for us.

So cool!! Mercury is definitely the most mysterious inner planet due to its difficulty to get a space probe there even though it's the closest planet.
The spacecraft will arrive next year, and I can't wait for all the Science it will uncover!

I also like the POSIX “seconds since 1970” standard, but I feel that should only be used in RAM when performing operations (time differences in timers etc.). It irks me when it’s used for serialising to text/JSON/XML/CSV.
I've seen bugs where programmers tried to represent date in epoch time in seconds or milliseconds in json. So something like "pay date" would be presented by a timestamp, and would get off-by-one errors because whatever time library the programmer was using would do time zone conversions on a timestamp then truncate the date portion.
If the programmer used ISO 8601 style formatting, I don't think they would have included the timepart and the bug could have been avoided.
Use dates when you need dates and timestamps when you need timestamps!

Do you use it? When?
Parquet is really used for big data batch data processing. It's columnar-based file format and is optimized for large, aggregation queries. It's non-human readable so you need a library like apache arrow to read/write to it.
I would use parquet in the following circumstances (or combination of circumstances):
- The data is very large
- I'm integrating this into an analytical query engine (Presto, etc.)
- I'm transporting data that needs to land in an analytical data warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery, etc.)
- Consumed by data scientists, machine learning engineers, or other data engineers
Since the data is columnar-based, doing queries like select sum(sales) from revenue
is much cheaper and faster if the underlying data is in parquet than csv.
The big advantage of csv is that it's more portable. csv as a data file format has been around forever, so it is used in a lot of places where parquet can't be used.

Wow everyone seems to love P3 but I actually liked P4 better. I mean I really enjoyed both, but P4 was a more immersive experience for me. I should reboot my vita and play it again.
I really felt like P4 had deeper connections and relationships between the characters. It felt more real, and that made the tension in the game more exciting. I love every second of it and am still trying to find a game like it.
Don't get me wrong, P3 was great also. The gameplay was superb and the characters were all great. But P4 still has a special place in my heart.

The autocomplete is nice but I don't find it a game-changer. The comment about writing tests is on point though, but that's the only place I found out useful.

Hadn't realized what a banger this season is for me as a SOL/RomCom lover. Just caught up with Makeine, Alya, and Gimai Seikatsu. I'll probably pick up Giji Harem after it all airs. I usually watch 4-5 shows per year, so having 4 in one season is great.
Here's a hypothetical scenario at a company: We have 2 repos that builds and deploys code as tools and libraries for other apps at the company. Let's call this `lib1` and `lib2`. There's a third repo, let's call it `app`, that is application code that depends on `lib1` and `lib2`. The hard part right now is keeping track of which version of `lib1` and `lib2` are packaged for `app` at any point in time. I'd like to know at a glance, say 1 month ago, what versions of `app` is deployed and what version of `lib1` and `lib2` they were using. Ideally, I'm looking for a software solution that would be agnostic to any CI/CD build system, and doubly ideally, an open source one. Maybe a simple web service you call with some metadata, and it displays it in a nice UI. Right now, we accomplish this by looking at logs, git commit history, and stick things together. I know I can build a custom solution pretty easily, but I'm looking for something more out-of-the-box.
One of the coolest projects I've seen: a lisp that is embedded into Python. Hy compiles to Python AST so it's (almost) fully interoperable with Python (some notes about it [here](https://docs.hylang.org/en/stable/interop.html#libraries-that-expect-python)).
Trying to make web applications federated is a popular effort. Examples include things like the “fediverse”, as well as various other efforts, like attempts to make distributed software forges, and so on. However, all of these efforts suffer from a problem which is fundamental in building federated applications built on top of the web platform. The problem is fundamentally this: when building an application on top of the web platform, an HTTP URL inherently couples an application and a resource.
So it's been about a week since I turned on the discussion bot, /u/mahoro@lemmy.ml (Mahoro-chan). This bot is a (lazy) fork off of `AutoShonenpon`, in which I hacked in a connection to Lemmy instead of Reddit. Anyway, I'd like to get some feedback from the community. - Any bugs? Missing titles? Titles I should remove? - What do you think about the frequency of posts? - Feature requests? - Any other feedback? (side note: since yesterday, federation has been painfully slow from my instance so it might take me a while to respond to messages)
The sidebar for our instance has a broken link for programming.dev - it links to `https://programming.dev/programming.dev`
It was a great app! Been a user for as long as I remember using reddit on my phone. Thanks [@talklittle@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/talklittle) I appreciate all your hard work over the years.
A series that I recently adore even though it's an overused okaku+gyaru trope. Thanks to the TL!
I generally don't like "listicles", especially ones that try to make you feel bad by suggesting that you "need" these skills as a senior engineer. However, I do find this list valuable because it serves as a self-reflection tool. Here are some areas I am pretty weak in: - How to write a design doc, take feedback, and drive it to resolution, in a reasonable period of time - How to convince management that they need to invest in a non-trivial technical project - How to repeat yourself enough that people start to listen Anything here resonate with y'all?
