PSGSuite users following here on X::

We have a PSGSuite prerelease published to the PSGallery as 3.0.0-beta. One of the biggest changes is raising the min PSVersion to 7.4 due to 3P deps deprecating earlier versions of .NET.

What PSVersion are you using with PSGSuite today?

@kenwheeler It’s on par with his hammer skills at least lol

@Le0Abx_wz @shawmakesmagic @sama They’re using dictation to write prompts instead of typing them with a tool like Wispr Flow

Depends on how you define “compiled” in this context. Python is compiled to bytecode, not machine code. That bytecode is still *interpreted* to machine code at runtime though by the VM (e.g. CPython), which is why it’s still considered an interpreted language, regardless if there is some sort of compilation involved. Other Python implementations like PyPy can compile to machine code, but that isn’t the default or what most people are using

It’s pretty simple. Source available != open source. Open source implies source available with a valid open source license. What Mistral did was make their model source available, but their proprietary license means that it’s not truly open source, it just means that source is available.

*OSI* list of approved licenses for reference: https://t.co/8jMPiDfDAd

@burningion @auchenberg Ah yes, Microsoft, whose sole product is VS Code, should have definitely attributed all of its earnings to it since it’s the only thing they make. What an oversight on their part!

[Secret Headquarters [Nate] @scrthq]

Youre drawing straws still and detracting way away from the original comment that started this chain. The counter var in a for loop isn’t read only, of course you can modify it inside the body of the loop. You wouldn’t do that typically as the loop signature is intended to contain the incrementation logic. Will it compile? Sure, it’s syntactically valid. Will it be allowed past a code review at any actual tech job? No, it’s terrible code.

@Suffixaufnahme @Leonard0Retard0 @code_explorer_O @cneuralnetwork I didn’t say it was impossible, i said you don’t do that (and you don’t, as it’s bad practice).

[Secret Headquarters [Nate] @scrthq]

Yes, you can, but that would be bad practice for incrementing a counter bar in a basic for loop like this, you’d also drawing straws right now.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. There are other loop constructs if you want to handle incrementation of loop counters differently depending on your preferred language, but your PR review isn’t passing if your adding buried incrementation logic in a loop constructs that’s designed to house that in the signature

[Secret Headquarters [Nate] @scrthq]

@Leonard0Retard0 @Suffixaufnahme @code_explorer_O @cneuralnetwork Basic For loop signature broken down here is:

Counter var `i` initialization: `i=0` (start i at 0)
Loop completion predicate: `i<n` (finish loop once predicate is no longer true)
Counter increment per loop: `i+=2` (for each loop, increment i by 2)

[Secret Headquarters [Nate] @scrthq]

@code_explorer_O @cneuralnetwork Totally. Isn’t that the point of the post though , that the corrected solution isn’t actually correct for the problem?

[Secret Headquarters [Nate] @scrthq]

@code_explorer_O @cneuralnetwork There is no multiplication, it’s a standard for loop that is incrementing I by 2 (i+=2) on each loop. The starting i=0 is initializing i at the start of the loop

You shouldn’t be attempting to calculate time complexity if you can’t read a for loop IMHO.

[Secret Headquarters [Nate] @scrthq]

@Suffixaufnahme @code_explorer_O @cneuralnetwork There are no typos in the problem. If the problem can’t be understood correctly, they shouldn’t be trying to correct someone on it themselves. For loops are one of the earliest pieces of logic taught in CS, not knowing how to read it but opining on runtime complexity is wild.

@thegreatnaph @schwabsauce @majd_alfhaily The point they’re responding to is the EXIF data, which typically contains location info. This is a security concern if the data did include location info, it would allow anyone on a FaceTime call with you to get your location by screenshotting the call

[Secret Headquarters [Nate] @scrthq]

Age isn’t really relevant here IMO, this is someone trying to start a business and ripping off other people’s work as a foundation for that. It wasn’t “close to the original”, they took the original and replaced the speaker with themselves. It’s not “inspired”. It would have taken 5 minutes to just film or find an unused backdrop, but instead they opted to just take someone else’s work and put their face on it

@ErfanEbrahimnia @theo It’s a directive

[Secret Headquarters [Nate] @scrthq]

@cramforce Seems this is due to using a PAT for automation instead of a GitHub app? Switching to an App should prevent the commits from being done under your name (more secure regardless due to auto-expring tokens).

@santiagotheory @plzbepatient that's not how it works in real life; if you offer to cut your salary in pursuit of equity, you just both end up at the lower salary rate.
