holmb··on Timer-Tab
This is quite nice to throw on a screen in the NOC/SOC. However I would have liked if it was possible to set the alarm clock via the URL.
holmb··on Pipfile for Python
I agree that explicit is better than implicit. Especially in this case. You can create an alias pipr='pip install -r requirements.txt' or similar if you find that fits your needs better.

Especially for newcomers, an implicit "use Pipfile if exists, else requirements.txt" is just unnecessary magic.

holmb··on Mozilla Thimble
It appears that the collaborate functionality is a feature of the old version of Thimble. I cannot find any collaboration functionality in the new one.

Perhaps that will change in Linux 4.8. See http://betanews.com/2016/08/07/linux-microsoft-surface-3/
holmb··on SyntaxDB – Quickly look up syntax for programming languages
Reading https://syntaxdb.com/ref/python/sets I spotted an error. "setName = {} #another way to initialize set"

``` In [1]: s = {}; type(s) Out[1]: dict ```

He has knowledge and experience with z/OS.

And in the general case, I totally agree with lawnchair_larry. Also, if there is a big enough incentive to find security flaws they will be found, even in rather obscure systems.

Though that doesn't make him guilty until proven otherwise.
