What does OBL mean? Is it just a play on word with "oblong" ( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/oblong ) ? Anyway, I doubt depending on a unknown project may qualify as "quality" for something as importa

That's very cool thanks for sharing. Reading the manual I wonder if it wouldn't be more work for me to use a library like this than to use the default sqlite3 Python biding and writing my SQL queries by hand. Still cool nonetheles

Inkscape really is one of my favorite piece of software. The new features are almost all things that I have wished Inkscape had dozens of times. Font collections (the font menu is slow when you have to go through half of it to find the font

In the same kind of spirit but for Python I recently discovered pywebview. It really is amazing how simple and fast these tools make developing little apps that can be run locally, without your users needing to manually launch a server or y

Indeed, Racket is a platform for active academic research in both computer science education and programming language theory.

I don't know the numbers but I can probably agree that "modern day" can be replaced by "batteries included" and it would be a better description, from the (valid) point of view that you take. However, Racket is also

Racket executables are not to be compared with those of a compiled language that aims for speed. The primary goal is not speed here and the documentation explicitly says so. You should see them as interpreted code that is bundled with its

A few weeks ago I tweeted this [1]: Frankly, writing Python code in 2023 with types annotations, dataclasses, structural pattern matching, and an editor (Kate ♥) that supports LSP with the mypy plugin for pylsp installed is just as cool as

I often use `python -m http.server` e.g. to easily share files over local networks but I had no idea so many standard modules supported this. Thanks for sharing this link!

In my experience WeeChat is easier to setup and more robust in long term usage.

WeeChat is really an awesome IRC client. I've been using it daily for years . Before that I was mostly using ERC in Emacs. But WeeChat has a remote client features that makes it possible to have a headless WeeChat running in my server

Yes, this is the most important point from an organizational point of view. If only for that, accepting to be so tied to a single individual is a concern.

I 100% agree with you. The inflexibility of the FSF as to adapt to platform capitalism (e.g., address licensing issues of Uber-like platforms and clients) is also a serious concern. When I see the debacle that the coopyleft (with two o, n

You seem to be missing the point. It is about diversity of thought that I'm talking here. The FSF refused people based on them wanting to be able to disagree with RMS, or to continue to work with local free software groups that at so

The FSF refused people who explicitly said they were totally ok with RMS being here too, that they just wanted to be able to disagree with him if need be and don't think that he should not be seen as indispensable. They also refused pe

My concern is not even so much with RMS himself but with how the FSF revolves around him. The FSF as a group need to not be so tied with a single individual. A "bus factor" of one is not admissible for such an important mission. A

My problem with RMS is that "FSF" now stands for "Fierce Stallman Fanbase" rather than "Free Software Foundation". In the recent (may be still ongoing) process of recruiting new members for the FSF board, while

Redirections will still be included with domain names. It's actual mailboxes that were included and will cost ~60€ per year per mailbox, even for existing customers with domain names expiring years from now.
