- acchow 14y agoBoth the video and paper are well worth going through! The Abstract is 16 words. The introduction begins with "The Nintendo Entertainment System is probably the best video game console, citation not needed." Need we say more? Also, I wish non-programming fields of media would also adopt pythonic triple-quotation marks.
- mitchty 14y agoEww, why would you want triple quotation marks being adopted anywhere? What overlying function in print would they serve exactly?
- saurik 14y agoMany people forget that using inch marks in place of quotation marks (which don't have neating issues) is an ASCII-only phenomenon.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoThey aren't "inch marks". They're straight double quote marks. The prime (used for feet, arc minutes), double prime (used for inches, arc seconds) and ditto mark are all distinct.
