Gynvael Coldwind jest badaczem bezpieczeństwa pracującym w Google, który organizuje cotygodniowe livestreamy na tematy bezpieczeństwa i programowania po polsku i po angielsku). Częścią streamów są misje — w skrócie, zadania w stylu CTF-owym dotyczące inżynierii wstecznej. Wczorajsza misja była o elfickim — znaczy o Paint’cie — znaczy o programowaniu w Pythonie i jego bajtkodzie.

Setting up Python is usually simple, but there are some places where newcomers (and experienced users) need to be careful. What versions are there? What’s the difference between Python, CPython, Anaconda, PyPy? Those and many other questions may stump new developers, or people wanting to use Python.

On Monday, Apple announced some changes to its Mac lineup. All MacBooks (even the Air) got CPU upgrades, and the starting price of a MacBook Pro (13″, no Touch Bar) went down to US$1299. Which makes the 12-inch model effectively pointless.

A quick spec comparison reveals that the Pro comes with a much better CPU, GPU, screen, camera — the only drawback is the storage space.

To create a project that other people can use and contribute to, you need to follow a specific directory structure. Moreover, releasing a new version should be as simple and painless as possible. For my projects, I use a template that has the structure already in place, and comes with automation for almost every part of a release.
