Scandinavian are quite different between each others as well.

Wouldn’t it be easier to do those as stacked PRs then?

Yeah, I’ve built many one-off scripts in my day, and these days they take 100x less time.

Not to mention it’s a topic most if not all people have an innate strong opinion about based on their lived experiences!

Sounds interesting! Any good sources on that subject? I find results pointing both against it and for it, but am not a psychologist.

Does any of these solutions work reliably for non-English languages? I’ve had a lot of issues trying to transcribe Swedish with all the products I’ve used so far.

It doesn’t have to be, really. Even if it could replace 30% of documentation and SO scrounging, that’s pretty valuable. Especially since you can offload that and go take a coffee.

Yet no mention of the real friction: buying a domain and getting hosting set up. There are a number of free alternatives out there but they are not well known by the public.

I care, for sure. Electron apps have been better than tauri apps so far, from what I’ve used.

CI providers should definitely start proxying PyPI with their own cache.

Visual iconography doesn't need to transmit the same ideas to different users, it's there to reduce space taken but still be identifiable to an experienced user of the tool.

I would have needed this when I started learning Rust! All my early programs were object soups.

Pyright doesn’t really support a lot of big libraries, like Django, so if you want to use them you’re out of luck.
