Surely A Clockwork Orange released two years later is also rated X? But looks like nope, that was rated R which is pretty wild all things considered.

yeah, that line is infamous, i even hear kids saying it. I guess it’s good it got the recognition it deserved despite the rating.

Woah, TIL:

Midnight Cowboy is the only X-rated film (equivalent of the current NC-17 rating) to win Best Picture and the only X-rated film ever to win an Academy Award.

There’s a good documentary called This Film Is Not Yet Rated and issues with the existing rating system. For example a gay sex scene gets an NC-17 but straight one would get an R rating. If memory serves, they exist to rate the movies to prevent government regulation and to protect the studios which they’re rating.

I just say “no facial” which usually gets a smirk.

You mean to tell me this isn’t a real photo:

Woah, never realized the Read a Book poster in the last frame is a tie in to this comic: https://pbfcomics.com/comics/book-world/

Do not think about pink elephants

Breaking RDP is probably the most secure thing Microsoft has ever done.

Sounds like the best workaround for this is to have a deadman switch to delete all data if the phone hasn’t been unlocked in a 24 hour period? Then it is your inaction that results in the destruction of the data, and you’d still be complying with the statute.

All banks I’ve done business supported exporting CSV or OVX files of transactions so you don’t need a third party connection into your bank account, although that is an option. It depends on region, but banks are only required to retain data for certain periods of time, and keeping a history of each transaction can be useful for budgeting or investing.

Regarding Mint, If I’m remembering correctly, it seemed like they were doing a redesign of the site and then decided to shut it down. I’d have to imagine after they got purchased, all the original devs left and maintaining each connection with each bank was a huge hassle. They probably spent so much modernizing the site and still had to maintain connections, that the operational costs outweighed the income from advertising.

If you’re dealing all in cash this makes sense, but for those with multiple bank accounts, keeping track of everything without software is burdensome. I can’t imagine copy/pasting each transaction from my banks website into a spreadsheet. Computers are better at math than humans, they should be doing the calculations, not me.

Thirding Actual, I will admit I was using Mint for way longer than I should have for convenience, and moved to Actual after Mint shut down. If you only have a few accounts, it’s not that terrible to download transactions as QFX files and import them once a month when paying the bills. I haven’t tried SimpleFin or anything automated, but that would get you even closer to the experience of Mint.

Longhorn was Windows Vista. I remember downloading what I thought was Longhorn before Vista’s release but it was just a heavily skinned version of Windows XP.

The install process should be deterministic. When you run sudo make install it should do the same thing every time you run it. If this process fails, it’s because of a missing dependency or permission issue or something like that. The failure should never be because of a statistically probability during installation that causes the installer to go off and do something wildly different.

Well if the requirements.txt is pinned to a specific version of a dependency of a dependency, you might not know or really care why that’s set. But then this becomes a nightmare and dependency hell laterif you want a newer version of some package, and that newer version requires a bunch of newer packages and loses the others. At that point you probably will toss your old file and start a new one from scratch piecing together all the requirements with like pip freeze in a new virtual environment.

Sure you could omit the versions, but then everytime you deploy, you don’t know what you’re going to get and a deployment today would be very different next week with a whole bunch of different versions of dependencies.

Yes exactly, like if I know my app needs the requests library, I will just put that in requirements.in but after compile requirements.txt will include the exact version of requests and every version of each dependency. So that every time pip install is run, all dependencies are always the same despite what happens upstream

Curious what others have to say, but my go to is to have a requirements.in with direct packages I need for the project, and then run pip-compile to generate all the dependencies with their exact version at the time so that deployments are repeatable. This works well for deployment, but if I were writing a library for others to use, I think you put the direct dependencies in setup.py
