2017-05-05 at 2:09 AM UTC in Unusual SSL Error when opening page with Mechanize.The issue is that `b` is reused in both feed() and hosts(), you're writing both responses to the same buffer so the contents of `b` by the time you run `b.getvalue()` in hosts() is like "{... response from first request ...}{... response from second request ...}" which is not valid JSON.
I'm not sure why you mean by "once i load something into the JSON parser it wants to stay there" but you definitely need to create a new StringIO instance before each request. -

Originally posted by Malice Lanny, do you remember this paper?
I do remember that paper. Although you'll note the author distinguishes between melancholic and depressive behavior, which seems reasonable. There's "tortured artist" type depression and then there's "do nothing for long periods of time" depression and while the former certainly makes for better drama I suspect the latter characterizes the majority of cases of clinical depression. -

I thought about that but it's not really a thread about interviewing so much as about dealing with a comedown. I thought BLTC was a better fit. -

It is never without a degree of tedium but over time the burning passion of a programmer's soul shines brighter, the powerful searing love of God overtakes you and all the pains of your trials are shed in the penetrating light of pure process calculus!

No, that was lanny automatically putting your thread in the right forum. The lanny broke though, so you're gonna have to do it yourself going forwards -
2017-04-29 at 8:02 PM UTC in Being an alcoholic sucksMy alcoholism has turned into more of a personal trait than a problem, it's like wearing glasses or being left handed at this point. I've just regressed to baseline, I don't get drunk and do stupid things and destroy relationships, I just drink and do exactly the same things I do sober while feeling slightly better than I otherwise would. Yesterday I was working on a project for a couple of hours, stood up to go to the bathroom and stumbled a bit, and was like "oh yeah, I'm drunk, I forgot about that".
I think I've maxed out by alcohol abuse skill. -
2017-04-30 at 9:55 PM UTC in Conflict Shitpileyou dumb fucking niggers, can we not have one thread that says on topic in this entire shithole?
Posts deleted, next pair of you cunts to get into a shitflinging match ITT will get banned.
P.S. Telling someone to stop posting off topic and then posting for a page and a half about their various personal failings is not productive behavoir
P.S.S. Even if you think infinityshock is full of shit at very least he's full of shit with respect to the topic, which is more than can be said for many of you in the last two pages -

2017-04-30 at 12:17 AM UTC in Clones got you down? Fear no more (maybe)So some jerks have started register accounts with usernames that are visually very similar or identical to existing users. This is known as a "homoglyph attack", it's kind of interesting but it's actually troublingly difficult to address without impacting full unicode support. To try and limit the impact of this kind of username spoofing I've implemented "trip phrases", an idea floated by Bret Victor a couple of years ago. The context is a little different, Victor was thinking in context of chan style tripcodes, password base "authentication" by obfuscation of the password. In this case your trip phrase is generated from your username and is sensitive to homoglyphs, so you can't brute force someone else's trip phrase.
So what does this actually mean for you? If you go to your profile page and enable tripcodes a 5 word phrase will be displayed most places your username appears. Impostors won't be able to use the same trip phrase, so people can distinguish you from a potential impostor by noting the absence or difference in trip phrase. Unlike user titles it's not tied to post counts so spamming like §m£ÂgØL-impostor did won't be possible.
Will the phrases be visually distinctive enough for this scheme to work? Hey, who knows, but I encourage you to guinea pig it for me so we can find out.
