Soft-deprecating re.match()

Soft-deprecating re.match() Python has a concept of soft deprecation, where APIs are marked as "should no longer be used to write new code" without any promise/threat to remove them in the future. Python 3.15 release manager Hugo van Kemenade describes how in the upcoming 3.15 release soft deprecation has come for the venerable but deeply confusing re.match() function. It's now available with the much clearer alternative re.prefixmatch() name - reflecting how it anchors at the beginning of the…

Malicious Twitch Browser Extension Exposes 30,000 Users’ OAuth Tokens to Russian Bot Service

Socket’s Threat Research Team identified a cross-store browser extension, “Twitch Enhanced Viewer | JeetBot,” that forwards each user’s live Twitch OAuth session token to proxy servers operated by a Russian commercial bot service. The extension ships on both the Chrome Web Store (extension ID pnhhdhhcadcjfckjhpmjneldiegbojfb, 30,000 users) and Firefox Add-ons (twitchenhancedviewer@example.com, 552 users). Both listings are live at time of writing. Current builds (v85.x) forward the token inline…

Don't sleep on wrapture

Graham Dumpleton's new monkey patching package wrapture is shaping up to be an indispensable tool for Python developers. I'm not sure why I've seen so little buzz about it! Graham has been posting new tutorials for it almost daily since the initial release on August 31st. Here's everything he's published so far: Introducing wrapture - a new monkey patching library that serves both testing and observability (think New Relic style tracing) at the same time. Unit testing with wrapture - how to use…

Operating Mode as Runtime State: A Contract for Enterprise

During a service incident, a customer-remediation workflow is moved onto an emergency route because the situation is critical and the team needs a fast resolution. Approvals are shortened, a priority queue is opened, and an on-call agent is cleared to use an alternate procedure until the service recovers. The incident ends, but the route stays […]

If You Always Enjoy It, You're Not Pushing It Hard Enough—Benn Stancil (Show Your Workflow #1)

I had the pleasure to discuss and analyze the workflow of none other than Benn Stancil, legendary writer and storyteller in the data space and beyond, who started writing back in 2013 (with a seven-or-eight-year startup break in between). This is the first interview in the series «Show your Workflow», and I couldn’t be happier to start with Benn. As this series is all about how writers write, how to come up with stories, how to take notes (or not), and each one’s workflow, I asked Benn about…

How to Calculate 0.1 Plus 0.2 Correctly in PHP?

The PHP Foundation thanks guest author Weilin Du for this post! Quick quiz before you read: <?php var_dump(0.1 + 0.2 === 0.3); This returns false. Now, as developers who proudly know IEEE's floating rules, many of you may take a sip of your coffee and say: Hey, that's not news anymore. We all know this classic case that warns generations of junior developers that calculating directly with floats might cause bugs. However, let's see this case here (64-bit): <?php var_dump((9223372036854775808 -…

Any Nix package, live in your browser

Any Nix package, live in your browser Farid Zakaria calls this his "magnum opus of Nix work", and I can see why. trynix.dev provides a qemu-wasm powered x86_64 Linux virtual machine running entirely in your browser through WebAssembly. That VM can then be booted with any Nix package from the past 13 years. They are URL addressable, so you can navigate to this page: https://trynix.dev/?pkg=python3%403.6.2 Then click "Load" and get an interactive shell against a virtual machine running Python…
