Natasha Nox 🇺🇦🇵🇸One would assume to delete a binary stream in memory you saved with a class called "bytesIO", the appropriate method to call would be "bytesIO.flush".There is a flush method.No, it doesn't delete the stream.In fact… <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Python</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coding</a>

.:\dGh/:.One lesson learned from using the cache:Never cache logic that has cached logic. Always cache logic as a whole.There may be extreme cases where `cache(X=Y+Z)` is slower than `cache(X=Y+cache(Z))`, but then good luck trying to flush the cache without side effects.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Programming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Coding</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WebDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebDevelopment</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SoftwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareDevelopment</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WebDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebDev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Code" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Code</a>

Gytis RepečkaAll developers I've met in my career in IT, who insisted code is self-documenting were exceptionally bad in documenting anything :blobcatreading:While their code usually ran just fine, they could hardly ever explain how it worked or why it was structured that way to someone else, especially junior developers.Comments and annotations exists for a reason.<a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/developerlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#developerlife</a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coding</a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/documentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#documentation</a>

El DuvelleGood <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Coding</a> practices question for <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Documentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Documentation</a>:Are there some general guidelines on what info to put in the comment at the top of each code file? Like date, author, basic description of what the code does? Maybe something about dependencies? Are there templates for this somewhere (e.g. for <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Matlab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Matlab</a> or <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Python</a> if that matters)?

Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:First "production test" successful 💪 ... after band-aid "deployment" (IOW, scp binaries to the prod jail).<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/swad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swad</a> integrates with <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/nginx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nginx</a> exactly as I planned it. And <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/PAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PAM</a> authentication using a child process running as root also just works (while the main process dropped privileges). 🥳 So, I guess I can say goodbye to <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/bots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bots</a> hammering my poor DSL connection just to download poudriere build logs.Still a lot to do for <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/swad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swad</a>: Make it nicer.

Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:This, btw, was yet another reminder of the horrible can of worms <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/stdio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stdio</a>'s <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/buffering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buffering</a> is.I created a little tool running as a child process to do the *actual* <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/PAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PAM</a> authentication, so it will be possible to have this run as root while the real service drops all privileges. This little tool uses a simple line-based protocol for communication on stdin/stdout. It worked well when testing directly on the terminal.On the first real test though, my service just went hanging. 🙄 I suspected a deadlock caused by pthread mutexes. Wasted quite some time looking into that. Then I finally realized communication over the pipes was stalled.Ok, just set buffering mode to "line buffering" after fdopen'ing the <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/pipe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pipe</a>. Turned out that didn't help either. I *assume* that even in the child process, the stdio streams automatically created on the pipes were somehow fully buffered. But at that point, I was really fed up with trial and error and rewrote the whole mess to do I/O using plain <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/POSIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POSIX</a> APIs (read, write), sidestepping any buffering. Worked like a charm. 🙈 <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#C</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coding</a>
