Re:The German problem? It's an analogue country in a digital world on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @03:01AM (#41442665)
I take a very positive view of the fact that German society is not yet fully digitalized and that some developments are viewed rather critically and are only adopted in part. Ultimately, I see adaptability as a particular strength of Germany. There is always a willingness to learn from mistakes and improve. In a pluralistic society, this sometimes takes time, but I am sure that Germany is still on the right track. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Germany was often referred to as “the sick man of Europe”. That may now be the case again in the eyes of some people, but this will only be a transitional phase.

Thanks for licq. This was my favourite client.

I would like to see handbooks of other companies. Does anyone know of any other handbooks?

Re:I use Attrs instead of Pydantic on Thursday August 26, 2021 @09:38AM (#28314760)
The author of the article is very biased because he is also the (co-)author of these libraries.

Personally I think that is not the fine way to bash other projects in the open source community. Clearly, attrs+cattrs and pydantic focus on different things. Let us all live together peacefully :)

If there was a God, I don't think he likes being tricked.
Re:JWT (JSON Web Token) debugger on Tuesday May 26, 2020 @03:18PM (#23315336)
Thanks. I once searched for it but only found some used libraries.
Re:JWT (JSON Web Token) debugger on Tuesday May 26, 2020 @02:56PM (#23315077)
Looking into the page inspector shows 165 http requests on the start page. It includes ads, tracker and analystics from multiple sources (google, twitter, linkedin, facebook etc).

Can anyone sugguest an (offline?) alternative?

I used jwt.io a lot for debugging and it's great. Currently it is decoding the tokens on the client but I am not sure if I should continue using it.

A hacker could take over the site and capture thousands of access tokens and some are valid for multiple days.

Edit: Installing uBlock origin reduces the number of requests down to 67 but I still see the analytics stuff from google and twitter.

Re:Héctor Garcia-Molina, 1953–2019 on Monday December 09, 2019 @01:03AM (#21740708)
I still own a copy of "Database Systems: The Complete Book" (by Hector Garcia-Molina, Jeffrey D. Ullman and Jennifer Widom). I highly recommend it. Those books with such deep knowledge are very rare these days.

Every article on Eli Bendersky's website is just great. If he ever writes a book I would immediately buy one.
Has anyone looked at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cppyy ? This seems to be even easier than pybind11
Wow train.py contains only 83 lines of code (including a few empty lines and commets). And recognize.py is only litte bit longer with 108 lines. Very impressive.

Do I need AWS to use this tool? The company I work for operates its own data center.
Re:Torus: A distributed storage system by CoreOS on Thursday June 02, 2016 @01:40AM (#11820605)
This reminds me of the SheepDog storage architecture (https://sheepdog.github.io/sheepdog/) SheepDog provides safe distributed block devices and uses corosync or Zookeeper instead of etcd.
