I often use whole word for type annotation, when I can find meaningfull ones. I just type them in all caps to stay close to the convention.

I guess the single letter thing is laziness for a part. It's not simple to find words that represent the abstract idea behind the generic type without narrowing the possibilities. For array function, the Key Value from the sibling comment work but for more complex use case, it get complicated.

The docs project is part of "La Suite"[1]. They choose Grist[2] as the spreadsheet which is made by an American company but open source and there is a significant contribution from the French it admin.

If anyone need a replacement I suggest https://mob.sh/

It's a git based system where you use a common screen sharing between participants and since It's git based, everyone can use it's IDE.

It's based on the mob programming technique coined by Woody Zuill so no multiple people editing at the same time and more discutions

I hurt my right wrist on a bike fall, it's long term injury. I found that my left hand is much more compliant with touchpads than mice so I found a old Logitech T650 second hands.

With solaar on Linux, the thing work flawlessly. On the other hand the device is not supported by the official firmware so no gesture or click on windows. It's a shame !

I had kind of the same path but with GitKraken and Sublime Merge but I kept Sublime Merge around as it ease complex interactions too.

I have only praise for Sublime Merge.

Well not on hope and well wishes, more on planning and political will. As the oil, If your gas station is filled it's not only a thanks you the money you give the oil company but a large infrastructure work and political and geopolitical framework that make it happen.
Well if your dependent on oil to make your car run, the people who have the power to block oil distribution have a huge leverage.

I don't get your argument, we have a huge dependency on the oil distribution infrastructure. A switch in transportation system is a switch in the type of infrastructure, not a freedom vs control thing.

Ask HN: Ideas for Casual DOM Manipulation

Hi HN,I'm working on a short talk I will be doing soon. I want to desmonstrate to a non-coder public that when you access a webpage, you actually download a some data that you can interract with and modify. This is pratices I do without thinking but I see people don't have that knowledge. I will show small js one liners, css rules or gui interaction with the standard dev tools. I will also talk...

Re:Ask HN: Does the Scrum Framework Work? on Thursday June 30, 2022 @03:56PM (#31937754)
My main take after practising Agile and Scrum for a few years is that there is more in Agile than Scrum. For Scrum to work you need to enrich it with other ideas.

There are less than 20 authors in the manifesto, go check what they were up to. Next to the management framework, there is a lot of engeneering techniques and ideas. A sibling comment talked about XP whose technics work well along scrum, but there is also clean code, refactoring, crystal methods, agile as a cooperative game, liberating structures, devops (no, not the job offer),...

They all had blogs (archive. org is your friend for some of them), wrote books and gave talks. I like to get lost on http://wiki.c2.com/ where I found lots of insight about how to make the thing work. So yeah, I think it work pretty well when you learn how to use it.

The lines exists. There is a project of a cooperative rail company who want to exploit this route with the existing infrastructure.
