This is actually rather a reason to avoid Python in my opinion. You don't want pip to pollute your system with untracked files. There are tools like virtualenv to contain your Pyth…

"Penalizing solo travelers" is a hell of a spin on quantity discounts. If this isn't click bait what is?

I used zopflipng in the past to optimize PNG images. It made sense since there was no better alternative to store lossless image data than the PNG format at the given time in the g…

That's awesome. I'm looking forward to any feedback. Not sure for how much longer I will keep monitoring this thread. But you can reach me either by filing issues on GitHub, or if …

Honestly, when I first started working on mypass, I wasn't aware of "pass". Anyway, one issue I have with "pass" is that it leaks metadata, as it uses the file system to organize d…

I'm the author of mypass. First of all, I'm very sorry to drop support (temporarily at least) for macOS and Windows with the latest release. It was a necessity for adopting SQLCiph…

Is that even true? In practice rather than downloading a single package you'd download/update a bunch of packages over the same connection, and an attacker would only see the accum…

No, I never used Facebook (or WhatsApp or Instagram) in the first place. ;)

I wrote a similar password manager (without knowing that pass already exists): https://github.com/snoack/mypass But I ended up storing everything into one single encrypted file, ra…

Awesome, I'm looking forward to see whether it is working on your Acer laptop. You can use anything that is exposed by the Linux kernel under /sys/class/leds/*. This includes the k…

Thanks, man. It's almost frustrating how few attention my projects that are targeted to Linux users get nowadays on HN. That said, I appreciate your appreciation, very much. If you…

I like that approach, and we tried doing something like that in the past, but here is why it didn't work for us, unfortunately: We work remotely, so is our hiring process. While it…

I'm sorry but that whole article is just FUD... > Input function Yes, in Python 2, input() is a shortcut for eval(raw_input(...)), and documented as such. Obviously that is not a s…

Not that this is the same situation with unencrypted websites anyways.

I never got, in the first place, why browsers show a big fat warning when accessing a properly encrypted website where the certificate can just not be verified, while a completely …

Fixed: https://github.com/snoack/python-goto/commit/a46dbe57e9cfa4f... Jumps out of loops and other blocks work now. However, there are some limitations: 1. As I only have 4 bytes …

I did run the example from the README, with "%timeit range(0, 1000)" in ipython: 10000 loops, best of 3: 72.9 µs per loop @ CPython 2.7.10 with NOP 10000 loops, best of 3: 77.2 µs …

Awesome, I added it to the README!

> I wonder if there's a way to remove the extra nops? Yes, technically it would be possible to remove the code instead injecting NOPs. But then I'd have to adjust the jump targets.…
