Before scraping I would verify that there is no HTTP API that you can use to craft requests instead of scraping from the website. These might be higher quality than what you can scrape. If there is no easy to use http API, go to scraping then. I would generally consider scraping the last option, unless it's a ridiculously easy website to scrape.

This is a really good point for a language that is largely advertised as being more secure due to the borrowchecker.

I heard there are quantum computing libraries in Python if that interests you!

If I were you I'd browse PyPi for any packages that look cool.

I'm not exactly sure what to think about it, but I do like how there's specific things that have their implementation in code right there. I did only look at the site for like a minute, so take that with a grain of salt.

Linux Server OSes? (programming.dev)
submitted 3 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I've seen a lot of different enterprise and personal use distros for servers, but what do you guys use?

I'm planning on using Debian but was wondering if there are any other good free options to consider.

I've been looking around to find a good, privacy respecting way to sync my messages between phones. I decided I'm going to use SyncThing so I don't have to mess around with a server. The only problem with this is that I haven't been able to find any apps that work on modern Android that routinely backup and import messages from a file/folder into the messages database. Does anyone know any app that might do this?

The core principle of computer-science is that we need to live with legacy, not abandon it.

The problem isn't a principle of a computer science, but one of just safety. Also, who said this is a principle of computer science?

I recently purchased a domain for myself as a why-the-fuck-not purchase and I need some ideas for what to put on there. Some ideas so far include: Small Blog Personal S/FTP server to sync back to Minecraft server

Does anyone have other ideas? Thanks :)

OP. I know that no one else has properly explained, but you are holding a tattoo gun.

Smooth breath

I beset from your bated breath

Unless the stress that's given to me clear

Resides unfound and unclear

The key to my restitution lies in recognition

Opaque and sticky, defiance. Then remission

Upset and overreliant on bad positions

The lever's balance is set on a dud pivot

Problems unseen stay while shit thickens

While the root is left untapped

The branch kindles

When the words barely whisper

And the songs known forgotten

When the seldom well wished

And a stone throw's the bottom

When the once well trodden

Is soiled down and sodden

Accept the well wishes of ones who once wished

And song without a singer like food without dish

And sing those well wishes to your brother on a lake

Stoning throws, hitting water, showing off for the sake

Best fuzzing tool (programming.dev)
submitted 6 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm trying to find a good fuzzing tool for testing my web applications and was wondering what people would recommend. I'm trying to find one that is open source, free, and doesn't use proprietary stuff. It seems like Google's OSSFuzz is the closest option to what I'm looking for, but it uses Google cloud :/

It's not very often people express that what they think isn't absolutely the only opinion people should have and just wanted to say I appreciate that you're willing to admit that.

Im honestly considering getting a flip phone at this point it's kind of ridiculous.

I mean a lot of the people on here seem a bit more on the technical side, so it'd make sense imo

Runtime Profiling in Rust (programming.dev)
submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I've been trying to find something that allows me to see performance visualizations in my rust programs, but I haven't found any so far. I'm looking for something that's like SnakeViz in Python, but for Rust. If there's a better way to get about doing this, I'm all ears.
