   It doesn’t save you from checking errors, and it’s not attempting to. It’s just making returned errors more useful.

    I don’t doubt the author, but what is it that makes rendering a tree of objects to a table a difficult problem? Is that not what browsers do when they render a table element?

    I had no idea there was a Make standard library. Very cool, looking forward to using this in future projects.

    Love this. I also thought nerd sniping meant something completely different. Should have known it was an XKCD thing.

    Out of curiosity could you expand on that please?

    Well, that’s fine too. There are plenty of things I enjoy watching on my TV, but the thing still absolutely sucks in ways it doesn’t need to.

    The Python 3.11 release notes have a pretty lengthy list of removed or changed Python and C APIs followed by guidance on porting to 3.11, which implies potentially breaking changes to me.

    One thing I’ve really liked about using Svelte is that it’s nudged me towards using plain CSS. Since styles are component scoped it’s allowed me to just focus on applying them in the small, which I think reduces some cognitive load for me.
