or maps your caps to Ctrl, like vim users map it to esc

better ootb experience with syntax highlighting, sane keybindings, plugin system, and other little things nano lacks.

oh, you…

Ctrl-X Ctrl-V in micro, if you appreciate a sane editor with sane keybindings.

is that really a thing for unit files? Why the hell a comment needs escaping?

well, that’s up to women in tech to explain what the movement advocates for, he’s laying out his experience

Like what? Some L takes on wars or politics? Because that’s all I’m seeing.

exactly, vague accusations in a lot of places, nothing remotely concrete.

…so I’m gonna go with “the people’s reactions to him likely had a point”

…and this is exactly the problem

ok, I’m left, but how’s that of any relevance.

if you can’t put a name or even quote an allegation, maybe you shouldn’t comment.

there are lots of intellectually dishonest people intentionally misrepresenting what others say in the hopes others - like yourself - parrot it just for likes and visibility.

twitter happened, I guess

But today I stumbled across a long twitter thread that I can only describe as intentional character assassination. The author of this thread is misrepresenting facts and making some pretty nasty accusations. Again this is not all that unusual, except for the fact that I was not invited to defend myself. […] The gist of this author’s thread is that I am a misogynist; and that I should not be taken seriously in any regard. I understand that efforts have been made to have me excluded from conferences, and to boycott the publisher of my books, etc.

my favorite JS framework is HTMX for making me write less JS or even none at all.

I don’t think so. A half-measure using docstrings would likely take more processing power and require an ad-hoc implementation because comments are not broken down into ast components afaik. It would also be more costly in the long run if they decide to convert it into a proper syntax, as a result of docstrings not having a single standard way of being written.

Python has introduced several syntactic changes for type annotations, this is not unreasonable.
