You should look at how OPs example works first maybe

The python interpreter isn’t parsing comments, the add() function is just getting the current line number from the call stack context, and using a regex to spit out the numbers to the right of the “#” on the current executing line of the source code.

Do you stay away from C++ too? You can do this there too

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/source_location/line

This stuff is normally used for creating human readable error messages. E.g. printing the line of your code that actually set off the exception

The add function in the example above probably traverses the call stack to see what line of the script is currently being executed by the interpreter, then reads in that line in the original script, parses the comment, and subs in the values in the function call.

This functionality exists so when you get a traceback you can see what line of code triggered it in the error message

This is only true for steam keys sold on other platforms afaik

More, but not way more - they would be licensing window IoT, not a full blown OS, and they wouldn’t be paying OTC retail rates for it.

It’s unavoidable - once the cheese gets hot enough the steam will either force the liquid cheese out of existing holes, or it will make its own holes.

Make sure they are fresh out of the freezer when you put them in, as this lets the outside crisp up more before the inside becomes lava. Once you get close to the prescribed cooking time, you need to just sit in front of the oven door and watch them, and as soon as 2-3 break open, take the whole tray out

Maybe a riff on lutris? Not sure why though

The feature is explicit sync, which is a brand new graphics stack API that would fix some issues with nvidia rendering under Wayland.

It’s not a big deal, canonical basically said ‘this isn’t a bug fix or security patch, it’s not getting backported into our LTS release’ - so if you want it you have to install GNOME/mutter from source, switch operating systems, or just wait a few months for the next Ubuntu release

GNOME said this update is a minor bug fix (point release)

Canonical said this is actually a major feature update, and doesn’t want to backport it into its LTS repositories

English is not my native language, and I don’t understand what “Have taken up farming.”

It means they aren’t developing software anymore because they are growing vegetables instead

They aren’t talking about system administrators. They are talking about 3rd party software presenting a privilege escalation prompt (administrator access) and changing your default browser without you knowing about it

Actually, I‘m just excluding companies like yours because they are making way too much revenue on the basis of FOSS without giving back

You don’t know anything about my company? You don’t know what proportion of FOSS vs proprietary software we use, nor how much we give back lol.

It would completely break the locked down proprietary software model and break walled gardens wide open.

This is very pie in the sky. Your license idea only penalizes small to medium sized businesses. Alphabet’s 1% would just go to Chromium/AOSP, and Meta’s 1% would just go to React/Torch

You are probably better off setting up a non-profit and running traditional license fees through it into your payment union then. I can’t emphasize how much of a non-starter 1% of revenues is for any business (it’s my company’s entire IT budget, including salary) - you are basically just saying “personal use only” with more words.

1% is an exorbitant amount of money, and more than most businesses would be able to donate via credit card, so they would still have to reach out to repository owners for banking info

They would have to get in touch to figure out how to pay 1% either way, no?

That’s still not that much data

Gaming is 10-20% of the ISPs total network load, and the MW3 launch constituted like a 110% increase over base network load, so yes it’s a lot of data.

Advertisements and crawlers constantly use up far more bandwidth.

Crawlers rely on private connections between datacenters, very little of that traffic touches residential ISPs

Fight the real problems instead of blaming the users.

Literally no one is blaming users - There are plenty enough reasons to hate most ISPs, we don’t have to make up facts to find new ways to be mad.

Literally why CDNs and bitorrent tech exist

Neither of these reduces the amount of bandwidth an end user requires to download a 120gb file. If anything torrenting makes it more problematic because the upload is spread amongst a dozen low density residential users rather than a single high throughput datacenter

This is just the ISPs posturing to raise rates.

Ya absolutely. Doesn’t change the fact that ‘gaming uses very little bandwidth’ is only considering the UDP packets sent during an online gaming session and ignoring all the other sources of usage.

I literally have 5-10gb of updates queued up the first time I open steam nowadays

Read the 2nd sentence of the article. They are talking about 120gb CoD patches

You have to pay for visual studio too if it is for business use (the license is also SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than rider)

My coworker uses VS and it seems like the IDE is doing nothing - every time I open one of his projects in rider 85% of the code is highlighted with suggested optimizations and refactors that VS thinks is fine
