Regarding discoverability, I doubt anyone finds projects through GitHub's search or discoverability features, but rather through a search engine like Google or DDG and online communities.

I've found a lot of interesting projects via GitHub search and via GitHub newsfeed (mostly because I follow people with similar interests and they star interesting projects). Google links to discussions in places like online communities, which works quite well too, but Google doesn't seem to rank GitHub very high on search results, even when looking for the exact project name.

There are 16 versions on PyPI which end in a newline character. Of these 16, 12 have registered the stripped equivalent too ... Visually, on PyPI, these look identical

I often navigate through package versions in the PyPI website, and seeing something like this would have driven me nuts!

I definitely saw this in How I Met Your Mother in Netflix, where a movie poster on a cinema wall was (badly) replaced by a newer movie that came out after the show aired. I wouldn't have minded if it was done better, as that specific example was quite noticable, but it is perfectly possible there was a few more of those that I didn't notice.

I had exactly the same question, although I haven't tried either language yet. It'd be great if somebody could shed some light on this, as I would find it really interesting.

Apart from packaging I also love the idea of consolidating configurations from different dependencies into a single place.

But when I first moved to pyproject.toml I didn't find its use as widespread as I hoped (flake8 being the dependency I hear about the most without support), so I started collecting a list of projects currently using it, and discussing its use, in an awesome list format. Hopefully it will be useful for other people as well:

You can also create a "public facing" user account that doesn't have any private info or logins. That's useful to for public talks and presentations.

I'll never understand the idea of punishing employees for honest mistakes. Investing the time and money to hire a competent developer, and their ramp up to full productivity is definitely more expensive than that. Not only that, but the new person might make the same or similar mistake in the future. By being understanding you can save money and have the peace of mind that this mistake won't happen again.

Is the frustration meter shown in the talk video part of that original benchmark? Or is it something we could run on top of any page? I had a search around, but didn't find anything.

That tool looks interesting, how does it get the data? Does it scrap a user profile? Can it deal with users having a large number of posts (I think the rss and json API only return a limited number of posts).

Does anybody know if this is implemented in Python (I assume in a process run from the editor)? Or has it perhaps been implemented in JS/TS?

The reason I ask is because the Monaco code editor from VSCode can be used in the browser, and having Python Language Server implemented in JS means that any online editor using Monaco could potentially offer the same functionality from the browser itself without having to keep a connection to a backend server doing the lifting.

touch screens but require pressing on a specific angle the buttons

It's possible the angle thing is because your nail works better than your fingertip. I've had this situation a couple of times, and selecting with the nail definitely worked better, but my experience with this is completely anecdotal.

I definitely have this exact issue with Google Calendar as well. I search for the exact wording of an event, and it doesn't show any results that are old. I then manually go back in the calendar and find it, do the search again and ta-da! it now shows up as a search result...
