Not necessarily advocating for unidiomatic python/code, but you could use a decorator to automatically wrap the function call with a try-catch and package the return value appropri…

Surely you didn't comment before viewing the post.

For reference, something like like this (Python regex): ^[a-zA-Z_]+[a-zA-Z0-9_]*(-?[a-zA-Z0-9_]+)*$ some-name some2-name some-2-name some-2name some-name2 some-name-2 some2other-na…

(Hot damn, that was a super thorough/thoughtful reply in a short amount of time.) You're spot on about the quirky syntax, but I don't think it's as serious a trade-off or addition …

I've seen it dubbed "sponge-case" and am pretty fond of the term.

The fact that kebab-case support is a rarity constantly boggles my mind, nevermind that it isn't the de facto default for any language created after *sh/lisp. Readability, ease-of-…

If anything is gonna happen it's more likely The Powers That Be would limit use and/or distribution instead of mandating a change to code itself. Half of them probably don't know h…

I don't plan on having kids of my own, but if life finds a way (or I end up with custody of a relative's children) I figured I would similarly put together some kind of loose "curr…

As far as ergonomics go, a controller-like form-factor is almost definitely the current ideal for a portable, carry-able, holdable keyboard. Obviously just slapping QWERTY on it wh…

Would be neat to take a lot of the submitted sounds of old machines (computers or otherwise) and write a background process that manipulates and plays them while performing certain…

Not exactly what you're talking about, but I've seen a few RaspberryPi + iPad + External Keyboard setups where they either use the iPad as an external display or VNC into the Pi fr…

'Illegalese' has a nice ring to it.

As a former fiserv software victim/user I’m not the least bit surprised. If anything I’m surprised I don’t hear about similar oversights of theirs more often.

I'm both hopeful and dubious about this. Can't see this getting very far if it isn't open source, but it seems like something similar could scratch an itch I've had for a while (de…

Fiserv's Signature UI (their Desktop Teller is also trash but not near as bad). I don't even know where to start with how bad it is, but I'd need a BAC of at least .1 to get throug…
