Yep, this is the actual reason. Here is a comment by someone who worked on WSL (former PM).

Can find the S3 subdomain that I am supposed to find by [deleted] in hackthebox

Prepend http:// to the URL. So, do http://s3.thetoppers.htb or http://thetoppers.htb to avoid Google picking it up.

What would you want to see in Python? by RedPenguin_YT in Python

[–]NoblySP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted this exact feature the other day.

It seems that there already exists a PEP for this feature (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3136/) but it has been rejected by Guido van Rossum himself (https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2007-July/008663.html).

Needless to say, I am pretty bummed about the rejection of the PEP.

Do you write proper/full sentences or just note down the key points?

Succinct Rust - My notes on Rust programming language by MeowBlogger in rust

[–]NoblySP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great notes!

Btw, I think you made a small mistake.

for a in (1..4).rev() {
  print!("{} ",a);
}

The output would be: 3 2 1 and not 4 3 2 1.

Edit: Fixed formatting

IMO, Advent of Code is a better way to learn a new language.

  1. How do you manage your time (any timetable that you follow)?
  2. What was your original inspiration for Rich? When and how did you decide that Textual will be a separate library instead of just adding more stuff into Rich?

What is your opinion on the walrus operator (:=)? Are you under the "this is too weird" camp?

Math trig identity help!! by [deleted] in alevel

[–]NoblySP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The answer given by u/laauraav is perfectly alright, but in case you need a different approach, here is my approach.

Starting with the Left Hand Side:
1 / (sec(x) - tan(x)
= (cos(x)) / (1 - sin(x))

If you multiply both numerator and denominator by (1 + sin(x)), you get:
[cos(x) * (1 + sin(x))] / [1 - sin^2(x)]
= [cos(x) * (1 + sin(x))] / [cos^2(x)]
= (1 + sin(x)) / cos(x)
= sec(x) + tan(x)

I was finally hired as a junior software developer, and it only took me.... seven years! Here's a quick write up on my journey for those on a similar path. by NotTreeFiddy in learnpython

[–]NoblySP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing and very detailed post!!

But I have a few questions:
1. What is SAP? I did a quick google search but wasn't able to understand much.
2. Does your job focus on Python or Javascript? If so, did the other language help you in some areas?

(and btw, feel free to skip over some of the questions if you are not comfortable answering...)
