> The pathlib module offers classes representing filesystem paths with semantics appropriate for different operating systems. We can create nested directory structure suing pathlib.Path.mkdir function in Python.
> Rick C sent me an email recently reporting this. I know about this problem, it has been there since the very early days of the Puppy Package Manager. If you try to drag the divide between "Package" and "Description", as shown by the red arrows, another windows appears, then the entire desktop becomes unresponsive, requiring the power button to be held down to power-off.
> Even though there are plenty of books available, the best way to learn code is to practice. Hence, those pursuing a career in programming often prefer self-studying rather than only going after academic degrees. And as it’s the digital era, people love learning with digital resources such as mobile apps to learn code.
> One can use these applications anywhere and anytime, and they often focus on teaching from level zero so that nobody’s left out. These apps are usually highly interactive and well put together. They have a great learning curve and a few tactics to motivate users to work harder as well.
> MoonScript is a fully-fledged dynamic scripting programmer friendly language that compiles into Lua, or it can be dynamically compiled and run using the moonloader.
> Write MoonScript code, then run a program called the MoonScript compiler which reads a MoonScript program and converts it into an equivalent Lua program that would do the exact same thing when run.
> It’s designed to be a language that’s more elegant and more readable than Lua. It offers the power of one of the fastest scripting languages combined with a rich set of features. It supports features like functions as first class objects, closures, tail-recursion and a high performance.
> In May of 2021 we took our first steps towards putting OBS builds into the continuous integration cycle with the SCM/CI feature. Thanks to the valuable feedback we received from users who started as early testers and became heavy users of the feature, we are ready today to push it out of the beta program, making it generally available in OBS.
> Responses Victims to a pre-prepared HTML email with a meta tag could potentially exclude information about it. Due to the error (CVE-2022-3033 “high”) you could run JavaScript and read or even manipulate messages about it. Users who have set the display of message text to simple html or plain text are not affected by the vulnerability.
> The Mozilla Foundation has let Firefox 105 out of the gate, and if you use a Chrome-based browser, it's a good time to take another look.
> Firefox 105 appeared on Tuesday, and while this isn't a show-stopping release, there is some new stuff that is well worth having. It's not quite five months since Firefox 100 came out, which is long enough for Mozilla's rapid development cycle to have made some substantial changes in the browser.
> Some of the new features are relatively small, but will make some users' lives better. If you have to print a page, there's a new option to print just the current page – handy for tickets and other documents with loads of irrelevant small print tacked on the end. Here at the Reg FOSS desk, we're rather traditionalist and favor a plain old three-button mouse, but we hear that trackpad handling on Windows and macOS has been improved and there are some new multi-finger gestures in this version. Apparently this doesn't work on Linux just yet, but we can't say that we've noticed.
