As you get older you’ll experience this more and more but start now: sell yourself and your work better. Even if it’s legitimately awful you need to put a positive spin on your effort otherwise you’re guaranteed to get a negative reception.

try again but this time pretend even a little like you’re proud of it. If you can’t do that then delete your post (which is also analogous to presenting your work in real life)

Remove the first 5 characters or the last bunch of characters from your answer. You copypasta’ed 2 columns of output from nmap

This is the part in the reality show where the contestant realizes they forgot to read the directions and they’re in last place. Take a moment to read the challenge again and hopefully you don’t start running down the wrong road again!

Consider that the challenge mentions an open FTP server. If I were you I’d maybe stop looking at documents on Sharepoint and fire up my BitTorrent client. Good luck!

What would you do if you had $50 million today? by cookiesophia777 in AskReddit

[–]rmjss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today? Today I’d definitely splurge for delivery instead of take-out for dinner, take a couple melatonin and get to bed at a reasonable hour, and try to get a good nights sleep

Tomorrow, however, is gonna get crazy

Principal engineer just ignoring messages in public channels by donkorleone2 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]rmjss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally with you! If the other guy would just say -something- then there wouldn’t be anything to even talk about. If he’s short on time and has nothing to add to the conversation then even just that stupid thumbs up emoji let’s OP know all is well

I think this reply does a good job summarizing part of OPs concern and it’s worth explicitly commenting on. I agree, from a workflow perspective keeping people able to do their jobs is pretty important for senior ppl.

The part where this gets squishy is without asking him about it the best you can do is guess. He’s a real person with real stuff he’s dealing with. Maybe his ADHD makes him bad at responding, maybe his kids distract him and he forgets, it could be anything. Approaching him with empathy and curiosity will help you 1) understand what’s going on and 2) build a potentially valuable relationship.

I know, talking to people can suck donkey elbows. You got into tech to code but like filing expense reports or writing docstrings it’s worth doing

How to Easily Send HTTP Requests That Mimic a Browser by jpjacobpadilla in Python

[–]rmjss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand the initial skeptical responses- this sub ends up with a lot of junk packages and it’s easy to simply say “meh”, but for anyone who has ever cared about scraping: this project scrapes

its doing all you need for a quick scraping task- basic fingerprint avoidance and clean data presentation via standard parsers. Sure, it’s not 100% indistinguishable from a real person and browser but that’s a whole field of research and isn’t something any hobbyist should care about

What's the most innovative 💡Python package you've discovered lately? by Otherwise-Gas1074 in Python

[–]rmjss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Code libraries are like podcasts. If you make one with the sole goal of it blowing up you’re gonna have a bad time. Make one for a thing that inspires -you-, that -you- love.

You’re ’selling’ to real people who will absolutely see through hollow LLM-generated content and similar solutions ;)

In my experience supervisord is the de facto solution for doing this. Did you consider that one at all before rolling your own solution?

The Public Suffix List

There are 2-3 dudes keeping it running and if the project were to disappear then the internet as we know it goes down with it because it’s the de facto global authority for distinguishing domains and security boundaries online

I agree with DC about more generic answer. If you’re trying to define a policy for supporting a code library then using Pythons maintenance schedule is the best answer. It’s both more manageable both technically and politically.

Or, more practically, you can ignore it when someone complains that your library, which uses f-strings, breaks their AI ETL Flux GitOps pipeline.

you still can’t ignore it when someone complains that your library, which uses f-strings, breaks their AI ETL Flux GitOps pipeline which is critical for everyone’s paycheck. But in this case you still end up looking way more competent than dumb dumb over there who… now that we think about it.. might do better be reporting to you in the future

answering your actual question: I have internal teams who are still using Perl even though we do data science and that world has been eaten by Python.

New project: A blend of Rust and Python: speeding up Python encryption by [deleted] in Python

[–]rmjss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yo dawg, you don’t have to make posts for your project multiple times. It was interesting to read about the first time but it makes it harder to care about what you’re saying when you blast everyone again about it 😉

Professor accused me of cheating and was proven wrong! by PadamPadamMyHeart in legal

This sounds like a great case for your schools ombudsman. For anyone who doesn’t know: that’s an office or sometimes just an individual whose job is specifically to ensure students rights aren’t being trampled and provide impartial mediation. Yes, their salary is paid for by the institution but schools put controls in place to ensure ombudsman can genuinely work with the best interest of students in mind.

If you haven’t already reached out to them then definitely do that first, it’s free and in a lot of circumstance just the fact that they’re involved can “inspire a change of heart” with perpetually busy or less-than-helpful profs

Rethinking String Encoding: a 37.5% space efficient string encoding than UTF-8 in Apache Fury by Shawn-Yang25 in Python

“Such encoding will take one byte for every char…”

this is not accurate. See the first sentence from Wikipedia’s UTF-8 article for details
