I don't really know why this post is appearing now given textual is already at version 2 and not a new thing, but I love love looovve textual. Alongside rich (also from textualize) its one of those rare libraries that I can't find

It's a design choice by its creator- funny enough I was listening to an episode of 'talk python to me' with the creator yesterday and he talked about exactly that. The main reason given was that each plugin has to reimplement

That is wild! I've always wondered with functional programming what it would actually look like to have a game written in it- guess this is my answer.

I enjoyed reading this and it made me think it would have been nicer if tabs had won in the end. My best guess for why is that 'replace all tabs with x spaces' is marginaly easier to automate than the (also pretty easy to automate

I agree, but for something like the CRUD app example I made bringing in pydantic or something would solve that. Rust's type system is a lot stricter because it's solving problems in a space that doesn't touch a lot of Python

Sure thing! Footguns might be the wrong word, and I know as a low level language Rust is insanely safe, but for a high level developer it's type system is gonna mean spending a lot of time in the compiler figuring out type errors, at

I completely agree - but you say that like it's a bad thing. I work as a developer alongside data scientists, who might have strong knowledge of statistics or machine learning frameworks rather than traditional programming chops. For t

This is the community attempt to continue / revive atom right? Interesting that atom doesn't really get mentioned in the docs anymore- hopefully a sign that it's finding its feet and direction as a project in its own right.

I'm surprised to see so many opinions on what is "objectively" the best database paradigm. My incredibly boring take: databases are such a generic tool that it really depends on your use case, there are times when noSQL is st

There's a great podcast/interview with the creator of duckdb. He's pretty clear of thinking of the use case as more or less equivalent to mysql but for aggregated queries. I think trying to use it in place of something like a

This is well made case - but I'm not sure I buy the central argument. Within some basic limits, I don't think terseness and readability have the contradiction made out here, because in programming we have abstraction, which gives

There really is nothing greater than an completely idiotic idea implemented with pure genius - this was immense reading and I learnt a lot!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed looking over it- that's exactly how I feel about xonsh. Having python in the shell feels great, but I'm always left feeling like I have a marriage of something I like with something I like less (not to hat

Haha, thanks! That's such an immensely charitable interpretation of my messy typo- I'll update the readme so people can copy paste there music collection into non-existence if they feel like it. (Luckily it'll just go to the

There's some interesting projects like pubd, but I'd massively recommend ipdb. Its basically what I wish pdb was- i.e syntax highlighting, multilinear editing, completion hints etc

This was the exact reason! I should have named it something train themed, then the emoji choice would have been a lot better

True! but the shell was very similar to xonsh's shell, so I figured an oyster was the least confusing choice

If working for big tech is what youbwant to do, there's no such thing as a bad time to go for it. That said, you'll have a harder time finding opportunities in this currently bout of layoffs and hiring freezes than you would have

Finally! I've been wanting something like this for ages- generally speaking I don't consider myself an idiot, but I'm forced to pull that into questioning every time I test and debug ci/cd actions with an endless stream

What I've always wished existed for social media was something more along the lines of a protocol (like email or rss) than a platform (like Facebook or Twitter). It seems like as long as a communication form is tied in to one specific

OK, so this is hilarious, buy I'd be really interested to know where that figure comes from? (obviously an error since its not pulling in the normal cost, but what's it pulling in instead?)
