PyPI Package Disguised as Instagram Growth Tool Harvests User Credentials
A deceptive PyPI package posing as an Instagram growth tool collects user credentials and sends them to third-party bot services.
A simple and elegant way to add timer functionality to your projects. Adds class method :timer and instance method :verbose to Time class.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'easy_timer'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install easy_timer
Calling timer will return a time object.
Time.timer{sleep 1} #=> Time object
Calling verbose on a Time instance will return a formatted string.
Time.timer{sleep 1}.verbose #=> 1.00 seconds
Time.at(2.weeks + 2.days + 2.hours + 2.minutes + 2.22.seconds) #=> "2 weeks 2 days 2 hours 2 minutes 2.22 seconds"
Time.at(694861.11) #=> "1 week 1 day 1 hour 1 minute 1.11 seconds"
You can also pass :v => true or :verbose => true.
Time.timer(:v => true){sleep 1} #=> 1.00 seconds
A practical usage would be:
puts Time.timer do
Model.update_all({:criteria => false}, {:criteria => true})
puts "All models with criteria=false have been updated."
end.verbose
