It might make sense to try to support the same subset of Python in both projects. On the other hand, this might make experimentation harder... And there seem to be many differences, for instance I am trying to move towards async/await.

I think there the presentation format typically would be a different language (such as xsl-fo)... I am suggesting a transformation to a subset of HTML+CSS

I am working on something similar, although with a different focus (mobile coding): https://github.com/stefanhaustein/tantilla P.S.: Might make sense to try to get to a common type-safe language spec?

I wonder if it would be possible to distill the "rendering essence" of HTML+CSS, i.e. have a pre-processor that transforms a lot of redundancies / complexities out to just a hierarchy of spans+divs with style attributes. For

I have given up on KVMs altogether and I am using the following approach now: - Most monitors have multiple digital inputs. Connect each computer to one of them - Use a USB switch keyboard and mouse - Before switching the USB switch, press

If I wouldn't have been in the army, I am not sure I would have learned how to attach stabilizers to a nuclear missile. Just a thought.

Would be nice if the properties would be ordered by diversity (most homogeneous leftmost, most diverse right), and then the whole list ordered by binary values O:)

I think "just" going for CSS 2 would be a mistake. In my opinion, it would be preferable take new concepts that are simple to implement and simplify life for everybody (e.g. vh, vw units and flexbox, box-sizing). Goal should be to

I'd find it an effort to standardize text/terminal-friendly accessible HTML+CSS much more appealing. And the TLS requirement seems to make it harder to get started for pure "fun" projects.

MicroPython is addressing a different problem though: Minimalism wrt. libraries -- opposed to being more "static" in some aspects... In contrast, the author seems to be looking for an "acceptable" core that would still r

Factor out smaller projects. Try to break up the next step if there is no progress for a while. Separate task definition, implementation and testing into separate steps. If the last project got stuck, try something with a smaller scope.

By being aware of the true costs: It's not the cost of making the code more generic (typically relatively cheap) -- but refactoring costs when it turns out that the code actually needs to be more generic, but in a different way. It&#x2

It will never be cheaper than avoiding co2 in the first place (or at least catching at the source) so while it might have applications, it seems impractical for making significant progress towards saving the planet at this point.

Thanks for pointing to that gem (got bored after the 2nd paragraph or so...)! I hope whoever will do the inevitable remake in 2032 will read it, too :)
