Do you think the US's Republican party is spelt with a small r?

My experience is that ruff reimplemented 99% of the most popular features of black, isort, flake8, pylint, etc. and then added 10000% more features on top, that feels like a fair tradeoff to me.

I've converted multiple large Python codebases to ruff, and each time I just configure ruff as close to the previous tools as possible, then reformat the entire codebase with ruff and remove all the previous tools. The speed increase when linting alone is worth the minor formatting changes to me.

If you really insist on keeping isort's sorting then you could at least replace black and pylint, which would reduce the total number of tools by one.

Keep in mind a lot of that is from Pachinko, see articles like this: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/56271/sega-made-1-billion-pac...

No, but if someone is handing out free DVDs with adverts on them I can put a sticker over the adverts. If the adverts are in the movie, I'm allowed to skip them.

And yet its types are turning complete

I think they meant you can use curl to install uv and then you don't need to (manually) install anything else

Those points are taken from the article in the reference at the end of the sentence, it's just someone rewording a blog post.

They just gasped, they didn't seem ungrateful to me.

Having skimmed it, I had the opposite reaction, the wording is clunky in a way that I haven't seen LLMs do, it feels very human to me.

Stuff like

> Also the learning curve for Zig can be steep, especially for those unfamiliar with low-level programming concepts.

I don't think an LLM would start a sentence with "also" like that

> The small and simple syntax is an important part of the maintenance, as it is a goal of the language to allow maintainers to debug the code without having to learn the intricacies of a language they might not be familiar with.

The wording here feels like someone who's a fan of Zig taking a sentence praising Zig's design and trying to rework it into a slightly more neutral encyclopedia style.

The comments were my favourite part

GitHub Actions runners are based on Ubuntu, and from the Repology link it seems ValKey is in the "universe" repository which is a community supported repository and therefore might not be enabled by default.

For anyone else who is as confused as I was, the Terraform mentioned here isn't Hashicorp Terraform

How ironic

Don't worry, it happens outside the US too! Just ctrl+f this page for "France": https://www.citationneeded.news/issue-84/

Thanks for making f2, I've been using it for a while and it's saved me so much time!

One small correction, Bazzite isn't built on Steam OS, it's based on Fedora.

That's why they suggested checking protondb, it really depends on the type of games you play. All the games I play work fine on Linux, but if you want to play Fortnite or League of legends then you're out of luck.

Thanks for the explanation, that makes more sense than them giving up.

If the ligature takes up the same horizontal space as the characters it represents, then I don't see why not.

By the way, Mojo seems to have given up on being a strict superset of python, I think they're aiming for more of a C++ to C relationship where there are some small differences, but the majority of code will work without modification.

No, but a good designer will be able to help you put what you want into words.

They probably use (based)pyright which is much faster than mypy and ruff which is much much much faster than pylint.

It's a bit late now that python has existed for a couple of decades

Depending on the reason you hate Pylance, you could try basedpyright instead https://docs.basedpyright.com/v1.18.4/installation/ides/

I've been recommending it whenever Pylance comes up on HN or Lobsters, the docs explain how to set it up on the most popular editors: https://docs.basedpyright.com/dev/installation/ides

I've heard this called the toupee fallacy. Not all toupees are bad, but you only spot the bad toupees.

What's wrong with Plymouth? I use it on NixOS and it seems to just work and show a Nix logo on boot

That's not really whataboutism, it's more "yesandism", or just adding to the conversation.

Vscode is permissively licensed, but some of the Microsoft created extensions are proprietary, e.g. the C/C++ extension and the Pylance extension. They state in their license that they can only be used with Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code and crash if you try to use them with VSCodium for example.

There are open source alternatives, the basedpyright extension is better than Pylance and I've heard the clangd extension is good.

Nowadays there are good alternatives to some of the proprietary Microsoft extensions, I use the basedpyright extension on VSCodium and prefer it to Microsoft's proprietary Pylance. I've also heard good things about the clangd extension as an alternative to the C/C++ extension.
