@e11bits@ghickman it's fine. I use it with pre-commit and my IDE and works ok, you can use"djlint:off" comments to keep the original formatting when it doesn't quite do what you want. Unlike prettier it doesn't mess up Django template syntax.
Reporting on the Labour party is like playing a particularly disappointing game of pass the parcel.
Each month another piece of paper is removed. Yet rather than reveal a pack of sweets, or a toy, each unwrapping only reveals another crushing disappointment
@adambienkov the recipe is "take Blairism, replace Blair with someone without charisma, add a dash of TERFism and stop-the-boats bigotry, make sure to remove any actual policies before serving".
I can see why people are afraid of Trump getting elected again (he's a narcissistic psychopath) but USA has looked like a fascist police state for a while now.
You just need to look at how the police shut down black lives matter demonstrations and anti war protests for starters, let alone the military support for apartheid genocide
@Winstonwells the US police are not so much a public service but an armed gang. They run their own protection rackets, intimidate elected officials, and even conduct highway robbery (asset forfeiture).
Trying to think of a more shitty tech-focused company than Atlassian. Salesforce maybe. As in, a company that consumes pretty decent tech services and turns them to shit.
@chrisba Microsoft, sure. But at least MS has occasionally managed to create quite decent software, even if by accident. Atlassian has never made anything good, but has sucked in products that were pretty good and enshittified them.
“A lot of rich people don’t actually want an education system or the educated population that would come along with it. Sure, it would be better for everyone. But it would also mean having to share, and these people have let their greed literally drive them insane.”
@aral American colleges are so bizarre and like everything else they are this weird outlier in the Western world.
In Europe for example if you want to be a professional footballer you get signed to a club. You don't go to Oxford or the Sorbonne to learn how to kick a ball.
In the US the colleges are more like a football club that teaches poetry or physics as a side hustle.
Biden needs enthusiasm from young voters and black voters to win in November and he is fucking that up right now because ensuring Israel can continue massacring Gazan civilians is more important to him than safeguarding American democracy from Trump and the GOP. unbelievable.
@peter even Ronald Reagan - not exactly an extreme leftist - took a harder stance against Israel in 1981 over the annexation of the Golan Heights.
It's hard to have a morally consistent and principled foreign policy when every single domestic and foreign decision is based on a highly triangulated focus on a handful of voters in a few swing states and the media landscape is a barren polarized wasteland.
@peter I don't think Biden is a Zionist as such, rather he and his party are so scared of being seen as "weak on terrorism" they dare not do anything more than pearl-clutching. See: 9/11 and Iraq.
Thinking of upcoming UK elections: my sister was asked by local MP if she wanted to stand for councilor in her local area, she said no because politics is such a hostile environment for women (especially in social media), particularly those with families. No doubt this applies to minorities tenfold.
If we wonder about the quality and lack of diversity in our politicians, maybe the nastiness of modern politics is a factor. Ask Angela Rayner.
> Django apps should use as little code as possible; they should lack boilerplate. Django should take full advantage of Python’s dynamic capabilities, such as introspection.
One of the worst things that can happen to a new idea for reforming software development is to have DHH swoop in with a half-assed shitty implementation of it, poisoning the idea for a generation of devs
@baldur yeah definitely DHH == NIH (Hotwire is an inferior HTMX). Basecamp must be dead by now, Hey never really took off. And he was an asshole to his employees just because their politics annoyed him, he went off the deep end at that point.
@baldur I was a Rails dev around the mid-2000s and it was a very toxic community, especially compared to e.g. Python, largely due to the leadership at the top. Anyone remember Zed Shaw's "Rails is a Ghetto"?
