catala VS PRAW

Programming and law can go together tho https://github.com/CatalaLang/catala

Law is a mess, in part because its authors take shortcuts. For example, from the first example on CatalaLang's README.md:

> If the property was acquired by gift [and various conditions apply], then for the purpose of determining loss the basis shall be such fair market value. [emphasis added]

I think (and I'm not a lawyer or a tax expert) that this means that the basis of an asset can have a different value for the purpose of determining gain or determining loss. Wow, basis isn't just a number, although one might not notice this if one didn't read the six emphasized words.

But the Catala code seems to completely ignore this. Oops. I filed an issue:

https://github.com/CatalaLang/catala/issues/514

In a real use case, I imagine that substantial refactoring of the parts that consume basis might be needed when one notices that the basis is not a number.

Catals is a language trying to exactly this.

There's even a programming language for that: https://catala-lang.org/

I'm... not sure I understand the question? PRAW still works just fine for "personal use" of the reddit API.

Thank you for pointing out. So there is no need then for the access token? Only with the refresh token is enough? To be honest I took a look at it but I did not expect that to be under authentication as strictly speaking, the user already made the authentication. Also I took a look at the code at https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/blob/master/praw/reddit.py and I did not get a hint whether was possible to pass it or not. I am just saying this to let you know I tried to search for the answer before asking. Again thank you for the help.

To get the relevant IDs, you can use something like PRAW to query the subreddit for the top 1000 posts for example.

Huge thanks to the contributors to PRAW, which is the Python package that does all the heavy lifting relating to Reddit's API that I need for this script.

However, in practice duplicate items were yielded with these smaller numbers. So I increased the limit briefly to 250 in October 2016, and then increased it finally to 301 in December 2016 in order to resolve https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/issues/673. That issue provides an explanation for how 301 came to be.

Why? You gotta be ready for any status code. Even 777.
