How would it work in practice? How could they forbid me to edit an "authenticated" image (which is still just an array of numbers) on gimp, and publish the modified image as raw data? Wouldn't I be then "producing cont

Of course! And if you happen to want lifejackets and seatbelts on your bicycle, then everybody will be safe to assume that you are an exceptionally bad rider. Same thing for wanting types on languages where they are not needed.

> I don't buy the lack of seatbelts argument in any car to be a compelling argument. Maybe consider that you or other drivers you're driving nearby are bad at driving. Types are a good idea of many languages, but not a universa

> E.g., I want a docker image to be present in the daemon. This sounds more like a limitation of docker than of make. I don't use docker, but how on earth something called a "docker image" is not a file?

You don't need an alternative. VLAs are perfectly appropriate for that use case.

I love working with notebooks but hate the .ipynb file format with the burning passion of a thousand suns. For those of you who are similarly affected, you may want to try jupytext. It is a tiny package that converts threeway between ipynb

Surely. I've never used an "ebook" platform. Just laptops, tablets and phones. There are very good pdf viewers on each of those.

Sounds more a problem with the kindle and its software than with the pdf format itself. Books are typically set at around 65 characters per line. This is perfectly readable even on a small phone screen, in landscape orientation and withou

Interesting... I am an avid reader (and an obsessive bibliophile!) but I have the opposite reaction to yours regarding file formats. Pdf is perfection, then I like djvu and then well-formatted plain text files. Epubs are a thing of horror

This is really great, and a fantastic complement to PG. I'm a bit surprised that pdf downloads are not proposed. Given the (lovely!) emphasis on typography, it would seem the natural option. The epub formats are a bit foreign to me.
