  • Bet it’ll be their own special flavor of Python that doesn’t play nice with literally any other packages or interpreters.

    It’s literally just Python and it says that it supports standard packages/modules. And Guido Van Rossum works at Microsoft now, there’s no way he would let them bastardize it, he would’ve quit before that happened.

    I don’t understand why people will find any reason to shit on anything while not even (seemingly) reading the article. If you did, I’m sorry, but it really doesn’t seem like you did.

    But yeah, fuck it, let’s rip it all out and just keep the VBA integration until the heat death of the universe.


  • A times B times C equals X… I am jacks something something something

    Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one.

    Woman on Plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?

    Narrator: You wouldn’t believe.

    Woman on Plane: Which car company do you work for?

    Narrator: A major one.




  • Is OpenVPN not just SSL traffic?

    It’s not, it’s an IPSec VPN by default which runs over UDP. You can run it via TCP and it operates over the same port as HTTPS (443), but it’s not the same protocol and can be differentiated that way.

    A way around this would be to run an SSLVPN with a landing page where you log in instead of using an IPSec VPN or a dedicated SSLVPN client.

    Another way around it would be to create a reverse SSH tunnel on a VM/VPC in another country/state and send all your traffic through that.
