I wanted to ask something for my friend Tcll, how would you link a MAC address with no IP up to a network namespace? I know nothing about network namespaces or much about networking atall, he doesnt know mainly what commands to run or configure it. Thanks :).

Truthfully it isn't really that special, but it is a bit cancerous as I only have `atan()` and not `atan2()`... What's special about it is every other function I see seems to be intrinsic with 1 axis needing a `sqrt()` to manage singularities, where what I'm looking to achieve is …

This actually started (in a convo with Dani) as a simple idea of just upvoting comments made to posts, buuut I quickly got ideas for turning comments into a sort-of Reddit-style thread system, where comments could be collapsed so the original general idea of the forum thread could be viewed. …

So I've successfully written a metaclass that gives python the functionality of private attributes in classes. Q: But what about `inst.__private`? A: >>> class A(object): __slots__ = ['__private'] def __new__(cls): inst = object.__new__(cls) inst.__private = 10 return inst def showprivate(inst): return inst.__private >>> inst = A() >>> inst.showprivate() 10 >>> …

class foo(object): __slots__ = ['__base__'] What's expected is for `foo.__base__` to be a member_descriptor object but instead what you get is: >>> foo.__base__ <class 'object'> >>> foo.__base__ is object True I guess something happens within the magic of class construction that makes use of `__base__` as an object. I stumbled …

If you're in one of those predicaments where `cls.__private` attributes just aren't enough since they can easily be accessed through `inst._cls__private`, and you need something a little more secure, here's a method I've been playing with for a while that fills that gap. Note that this uses `__slots__`, more info …

numbers = [2,3,1,5,7,8,9,5,4,6] print(numbers) tool_1 = int(input()) tool_2 = int(input()) x = numbers.index (tool_1) y = numbers.index (tool_2) numbers[x] = (tool_2) numbers[y] = (tool_1) print(numbers) So I want this code to run until the numbers list is in this exact order 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 Is there a Do until loop or someway …

I have an automated API with a secure frontend/backend structure where backend object attributes are hidden with frontend proxy classes. basically, when accessing an object from the frontend, you get a proxy object disguised as the backend object with all it's explicitly "public" functionality. what I'm dealing with right now …

I've been working with my own system using CPU-managed hitdefs (rectangles for mouse-events) since I didn't want to redraw everything for the gl feedback buffer... (basically I can do all the hitdef position management once during the frame loop) now that modern gl has come into play, I would like …

now I know your first thought is going to be rotation matrices, but take a moment to think about how they're applied... I'm wondering if there isn't something more efficient, or if there really needs to be that many operations per bone and vertex. I'm looking for the smallest data …

It's been a year now since the Dyre malware family was first profiled, and there is no sign of infection rates slowing down. In fact, [reports](http://www.scmagazine.com/trend-micro-documents-new-malware-infections/article/418266/) would seem to suggest just the opposite with infections up from 4,000 at the end of last year to 9,000 at the start of …
