Software projects with one (or maybe two) developers contributing the vast majority of code are prevalent, at least in open source software, and may not be as bad an idea as common wisdom suggests: https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.09954

endlessh looks like a nice tool: https://nullprogram.com/blog/2019/03/22/

@dbrgn @zyx I went with a hacky one like yours, in the end: https://github.com/pretalx/when.events/blob/master/src/when/events/templates/events/docs.html

@strangeglyph Wie gesagt, das ist halt ein HTML-Ding. Musste halt in deinem Baustein auf \n splitten und stattdessen <br> einfügen, oder?

@strangeglyph Ich benutz Nikola nicht wirklich für die Shortcodes, sondern nur als generischen static site generator. Klingt doch aber, als hättest du das so ganz gut im Griff? Zeilenumbrüche in HTML sind doch am Ende eh nur eine Frage der <br>s.

Krass, wie geil das Wetter heute ist. Ein Fall für "Bitte jetzt die restlichen Tage im Jahr einfach weiter so".

@Unicorn Jetz erzähl mal, was da gut ist, ich bin in anderthalb Wochen für sechs Tage da!

@bkastl Ich könnte keine Abschlüsse, aber abgelaufene Zertifizierungen beitragen, gibts dafür nen Bonus?

TIL about PYTHONIOENCODING='utf8'. Goodbye, server-side UnicodeEncodeError! #python

@jalcine I'm pretty sure my local man pages don't include the content on the page I linked, but if you have a version with those pages, feel free to link them to me! I'd be happy to package them for my distro.

@sir Just wanted to make sure you knew I appreciated your point of view – you know how written comms can be weird about tone of voice and stuff.

@sir I think I just see it as more lighthearted fun than you do, but I see your point. I'll just continue sending people to git-scm. (And that's even though I myself learned a lot from the day I was bored in uni and read every git man page 🤓 )

@sir Wuuuell. If you know the structural basics of git, I absolutely agree. For getting people into git (especially people who are not well versed with man, so navigating/searching is not easy), and who don't know that the general structure is "info – infoDUMP – examples", they're pretty terrifying. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the generator is from times when the man pages were more, erm, concise. But I know that more low-level git man-pages are still confusing to me on their own (eg repack).

@ben @sir Same. Great ASCII art of the modern age right there.

@sir Haha, sorry – I do like reading git man pages! I don't like recommending it to people myself, because I feel that the git-scm pages are more helpful to most people. But *if* somebody mentions git man pages, I always want to make their life more fun with a reference to the generator (which is a great project imo). Sorry if it's annoying you.

@sir But why read git man pages, when you could also read https://git-man-page-generator.lokaltog.net/ ?

@tykling Hahaha, who would've thunk?!

So, fediverse folks: anybody going to #DjangoCon Europe in two weeks in Copenhagen? Would love to meet up. #django
