> it gets a trailing comma if it's on it's own line. Sorry but it doesn't make any sense to me. If your argument is "a trailing comma is a good thing," it should go into any and all function calls/list decl

The trailing comma communicates an intent of possibly adding more things in the future. I actually use it quite a lot -- when I have that intent . In the above example, if I think I have listed all of the `important_numbers`, there is a ce

I may be unusual in a way I treat my profession and care about my professional output (the code I write), and I take both very seriously. There's a quote from Steve Jobs (or maybe his carpenter father): “When you’re a carpenter m

Agree. There's a python linter named `black` and it converts my code: important_numbers = { "x": 3, "y": 42, # Answer to the Ultimate Question! "z": 2 } into this:

FWIW, > During this time, Harbor has served more than 32,000 pulls under company-wide use in day-to-day business. It is possible to read this as the "32,000 pulls" is a daily number, not a total one.

The concept of notability is similarly subjective, the issues like the mentioned race/gender identity (or e.g. the Russian-Ukrainian war recently) are perceived as very notable on English Wikipedia.

by maratc 1y ago
The problem with that is, of course, that "significant" is subjective. The modern Western society is very occupied with the questions of racial and gender identity, and it is generally accepted in that society that this topic is &

Since we now have :man-pregnant: emoji, in six skin colors no less, I fully expect all the animal emojis to also be gender-ized first, and pregnant-ized later.

I don't know if Gruber has ever used a wrench in any serious capacity, because he doesn't mention how the handle in the icons comes exactly at 0 degrees (instead of 15 degrees as in real life.) As it stands, both the old and the n

You must be very lucky to be in a position where you know what needs to be done before the run begins. Not everyone is in that position. At my place, we have ~400 wall hours of testing, and my run begins by figuring out what tests should be

Yeah, that's a good rule. Except, do you want to build Debug or Release? Or maybe RelWithDebugInfo? And do you want that with sanitizers maybe? And what the sanitizers' options should be? Do you want to compile your tests too, if

Everything I've seen that's based on yaml makes easy things trivial, and hard things impossible. This caused me to default back to Jenkins several times already, now I'm in a position to never wander off to another yaml-based

Probably labeling a removal of a format (which is somewhat niche anyway) as "killing the open web" was a bit hyperbolic and not entirely warranted in this case. Imagine that tomorrow, Google announces plans to stop supporting HTML

Except for "material and labor" there is an additional cost of land. That is already "related to what people can afford", in attractive places or not.
