PyCharm 2022.2 Is Out Now

by

PyCharm 2022.2 introduces support for several Python 3.11 features, such as exception groups and the except* operator, new notations for individual TypedDict keys, and variadic generics. With the improved HTTP Client, you can select a run environment using an icon on the gutter and send queries over HTTP and WebSocket protocols out of the box. The new Run Current File feature allows you to instantly run and debug a single file without a dedicated run configuration.

New in PyCharm

  • Code insight for exception groups and except* operator
    Get helpful warnings about forbidden combinations, like except and except* operators in the same try statement, or continue, break, and return operators inside except* clauses.
  • Code insight for marking individual TypedDict items as required or potentially missing
    Make use of the new notations instead of creating complex class hierarchies that use the total parameter. PyCharm 2022.2 understands Required[ ] and NotRequired[ ] notations for individual keys of TypedDict and provides code insight for them.
  • HTTP Client
    Enhance your productivity in web development. You can now select a run environment using an icon on the gutter and send queries over HTTP and WebSocket protocols out of the box.
  • Initial Support for PyScript
    Put new technologies to work and experiment with new things! PyCharm 2022.2 recognizes Python syntax, including NumPy and Matplotlib libraries, for code inside <py-script> tags in html files and provides proper code completion and highlighting for it.

Parents want to keep their kids safe online. But are parental controls the answer?

For our new series Parental Control, we’re digging into the challenges technology poses for parents and exploring all the ways that can empower them. So we looked into digital platforms and found ourselves, as many parents do, in the parental control settings.  These settings, along with services that promise to shield young people away from […]

Ring, Google and the police: what to know about emergency requests for video footage

by
CNet decided to ask makers of home security cameras about their policies when it comes to dealing with requests from United States law enforcement: Ring, the Amazon-owned video doorbell and home security company, came under renewed criticism from privacy activists this month after disclosing it gave video footage to police in more than 10 cases without users’ consent thus far in 2022 in what it described as “emergency situations.” That includes instances where the police didn’t have a warrant. While Ring stands alone for its extensive history of police partnerships, it isn’t the only name I found with a carve-out clause for sharing user footage with police during emergencies. Google, which makes and sells smart home cameras and video doorbells under the Nest brand, makes as much clear in its terms of service. Other manufacturers of home security cameras, such as Wyze and Arlo, only provide footage after a valid warrant, while devices that use Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video are end-to-end encrypted, so footage cannot be shared at all. In other words, if you live in the United States, it’s best to avoid Amazon’s and Google’s offerings – especially if you’re a member of a minority or are a woman seeking essential healthcare – and stick to Apple’s offerings instead.
