Modern HTML, CSS, JS, and WebAPI are huge and complicated, and writing your own browser from scratch is almost impossible. It leads to only few alternatives available, and it gives them too much power. We need more diversity. So, here's the deal:
1. We make specs for a small subset of HTML, CSS, JS, and WebAPI that is just enough.
2. You make a browser that can render just that.
3. I make all my websites work in it.
Let's build a truly #IndieWeb.

Here's how you can get the local timezone:
datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC).astimezone().tzinfo

Well, I know about you but not them. There is a good chance you'll leave after yourself a more meaningful impact than any of them.

I want my compiler smart and my code dumb.

It's an instrument of torture, though

Shouldn't Atlassian be held accountable for creating and providing instruments of torture?

Ipdb is good. Is there anything specific you miss? And in any debugger or repl, you can run "locals()" to show the dict of all local variables and their values.

Unmaintained project isn't the one that doesn't get new commits daily but the one that has pull requests hanging without a review for months. Most software projects don't corrode and won't break over time.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Sunday evening. Bored. One like and I write a yet another #golang web framework.

I never quite understood competitive sport. I like climbing because my only opponent there is the physical puzzle that I have to solve.

Is there a pure #Rust library to open a window on desktop and show a picture? The problem with winit, rust-sdl2, glutin, rust-minifb, and everything using these is that they wrap C libraries, and then cross-compilation becomes almost impossible.
We've been fighting with it for quite a while. At this point, I'm considering making a wasm app and wrapping it into electron or something.

Now, in Elixir there is no methods or other ways to modify a value in place, unlike Python's append above. You can only create a new list. So, even when a and b point to the same value, Elixir guarantees that changing a never changes b.
Bonus fact: Erlang doesn't allow rebinding a variable. Elixir decided to remove this restriction for convenience.

There are two things, essentially: values in memory and names that point to these values. Multiple names can point to the same value. In Elixir, you can make a name to point to another value, maybe even of different type, and you can create new values, but you never can modify a value in place.
Consider this Python code
a = []
b = a
a.append(1)
The result is that Both a and b share the same value, so when you modify a, you also modify b. So, both a and b will be [1].

The TIOBE index is a joke and we should stop giving it any credibility. What they do is they simply count web search results for each language, and that number means just about nothing, including the language popularity. And you should never use the index in making any decisions. Unless you're going to rewrite your #Rust, #Golang, or #Swift app to Scratch (which is, according to the index, more popular and growing).

#GitHub should make issues and discussions disabled by default when creating a new project. #FOSS doesn't mean it comes with support or warranty (and all OSS licenses explicitly state that it doesn't) and you shouldn't expect individual developers (and especially newcomers that don't know what features and why they should disable) moderate communities around their projects, help everyone with everything, and fix all reported issues.
