Someone's love letter to how everything is a command in Emacs. I tried to sell this approach for Textual, especially when the idea of a command palette was first raised. Sadly it never came to pass.

I think it would still be an excellent idea.

A submission to HackerNews of Rodrigo's blog post about working at and on Textual. What's pretty funny in the comments is the speculation about how Textualize would make money, which shows that some folk were speculating on the post without actually having read it.

So nothing new for HN there.

As per the title: a retrospective of requests.

Possibly killer quote: "After receiving our first security disclosure, I was told that Requests wasn't a serious project but instead one person's art project and thus we shouldn't fix the vulnerability. This was despite the project being touted as being used by multiple international government agencies, political campaigns, and boasting about it's #1 download spot on PyPI. So when I say it might be artful, I'm trying to take a neutral stance on what is art and what isn't art and whether the internals of Requests are actually beautiful art."

Contains an answer to this question:

Neil, you've written a trans woman character in Sandman but the way the story develops makes it seem like you think trans women arent actual women. And well, considering what you said about your friend, im sure thats not the case. So... could you clarify things? (i hope this doesnt sound accusatory, thats not how i mean it)
