<p>That shell snippet will expand shell variables in double-quote strings. And apparently the entire reason for this fork is to <i>not</i> do that.<p>Which is dumb. The canonical spec for .env should just be "whatever POSIX sh does."</p>

<p>The use of grayscale is a bit disingenuous.<p>Gray is not the default color theme on macOS. The default is blue. So the criticism about using right/left to distinguish on/off doesn't really apply. In reality, the use of color disambiguates the on and off states. Just like the physical toggle example it's being compared against.<p>That's not to say there aren't problems with toggles, but the article's core argument falls apart if you use any color theme other than gray.</p>

<p>The journal regularly includes commentaries and editorials on political and economic topics [1][2]. Political talks regularly occur at the conference [3].<p>In fact, the trigger to all of this was a scheduled talk by Jay Bhattacharya, Director of the NIH and a controversial political figure.<p>It seems silly to imply that politics are to be excluded from the conference at all costs when the ADA regularly invites political speakers to that same conference.<p>Do you believe that handing out copies of this editorial constituted inappropriate behavior?

<p>So you're concerned about my use of the word "paper." That's fair I guess.<p>But the editorial in question was in fact published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.<p>Just so that we're all clear on the facts:<p>- The editorial was published in Diabetes Care, Volume 49, Issue 6. [1]<p>- Diabetes Care is a publication of the American Diabetes Association (ADA). It is a peer-reviewed scientific journal with an IF of 16. [2]<p>- The paper being distributed was an editorial, not research. [3]<p>- Steven Kahn, first author of the editorial and one of those thrown out of the conference, is the editor-in-chief of Diabetes Care. [4]<p>- The conference in question was The American Diabetes Association’s Scientific Sessions. [5]<p>The important question: Should the distribution of an editorial published in an ADA journal be considered a code of conduct violation at the ADA conference?<p>[1]: <a href="https://diabetesjournals.org/care/issue/49/6" rel="nofollow">https://diabetesjournals.org/care/issue/49/6</a>

<p>The editor-in-chief of a journal handing out a paper that was published in that journal at a conference for that journal... is quite different from ranting about space lizards in a public square.<p>Your argument is a strawman: you are refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion. The argument isn't "is protesting at a conference acceptable?" The argument is "does this behavior constitute an unacceptable protest?"</p>
