  Does anyone know why pypy3.11 is so utterly broken on windows-latest on GitHub Actions? (broken == pip install fails with an OSError? something about an incomplete read? while reading from a socket? while checking for newer pip versions in PyPI?)

  @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @nblr@chaos.social i've seen this justified as 'the file could be truncated, and it could lead to badness', if e.g., a command like 0 0 * * * rm -r /tmp/daily-debug-logs/ got truncated after the first / (ignoring the modern --preserve-root behaviour of rm for simplicity). Not complaining loudly to the logs when cron detects a malformed crontab is a crime if still true.

  @xaetacore@neondystopia.world @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange If you press Ctrl-X Ctrl-O (in insert mode) while editing a Python file, Vim will execute code from that file (and any __init__.py in a sibling/parent directory). This is called 'omnicomplete' and probably relies on you having a 'filetype plugin on' in your .vimrc, but it's a feature shipped by default.
