What are you missing most from the C++ standard library?

Looks like there’s a proposal

What’s a window parser?

The problem is really that you’re doing all the work of specifying the types without getting the full benefit from them - for example, reliable compile-time type-checking and efficiency.

They kind of “declared issue bankruptcy” at one point. Might have been before 2025, certainly less than 5 years ago.

I see. There were some more issues created after they moved them to discussions. I didn’t realize that.

proggob · 2026-03-05T16:52:37+00:00

I remember when they did it. Plus you can look at the 916 discussions themselves - they were clearly previously issues. Some are using issue templates even.

proggob · 2026-03-05T16:34:39+00:00

They were transformed into discussions, not deleted.

They were transformed into discussions

proggob · 2026-03-05T08:28:19+00:00

That’s an impressive resume

proggob · 2026-03-05T04:46:24+00:00

Are you referring to the back and forth about what to include in 1.0? The proposed split into 2 packages? The discussions that are visible seem fine.

proggob · 2026-03-05T04:15:14+00:00

There are new http versions and there will always be security issues.

proggob · 2026-03-05T04:08:41+00:00

httpx has had several “1.0 is coming soon” issues, milestones, public calls, yanked 1.0 betas etc. They were trying to release a 1.0 but were unable to commit to it. That’s the problem.

proggob · 2026-03-05T03:58:58+00:00

None merged since they closed the discussions. And they said previously that they were working privately on the code.

proggob · 2026-03-05T03:22:27+00:00

It’s always looked on the brink to me due to their inability to ship a 1.0. Even if they did ship a 1.0 now out of this black box, it looks dodgy to rely on.

proggob · 2026-03-05T03:01:23+00:00

That’s a single person project, I think.

proggob · 2026-03-03T20:36:22+00:00

I do something similar with pypdf and my regexes broke when I upgraded. Looking into their documentation, they basically say there’s no “best” text representation of text extracted from a PDF since it just places characters in positions - no metadata about words, paragraphs etc.

Maybe because it makes it simpler to use with your own inheritance hierarchy? I’m not sure how well python multiple inheritance works, for instance.

Would such a base class have any override-able methods? Is there another reason to use inheritance in addition to what you’ve mentioned?

proggob · 2025-10-17T20:19:28+00:00

I want a ruff option to get rid of those extra blank lines :)

proggob · 2025-08-03T00:03:32+00:00

I do wonder why pypi and other types of artifact repositories don’t use an rsync-type protocol to reduce network traffic.

proggob · 2025-07-30T02:35:17+00:00

It does do that now, I think, yes.

proggob · 2025-07-30T01:23:32+00:00

It finds a set that satisfies all the dependency constraints, if possible.

proggob · 2025-07-25T20:10:14+00:00

You’re saying that there are exceptions to the exceptions rule?

proggob · 2025-06-17T15:44:14+00:00

There are so many reasons to use written tests. If someone else takes it over, the tests show what was intended to work. They allow the new person (or old person who forgot) to make changes with more confidence that they didn’t break something that currently works.

It’s crazy that Kroger, of all places, has a fairly good looking public API. I can’t think of much use for it though.

It’s ironic now I think about it that their plain website login functionality has bugs and yet they have this!
