If it doesn't have any effect, why bother protesting?

They are like PDFs in that they do not render the same with different software or on different devices.

Yes, that's exactly what I want. Everything shifts with dst - business processes, people's working hours, ach windows, ...

It has been years, when will it not be too early?

Yes, it gets a trailing comma if it's on it's own line. That way when you add/remove arguments in a multi-line call it's only a one-line diff. This doesn't apply when the diff is only one line anyway.

Who's to say you don't add a new argument to the function in the future, like

    my_print(
        "This string has two parameters, `a` which is equal to {a} and `b` which is equal to {b}",
        a=1,
        b=2,
        color_negative_red=True,
    )

The infrastructure has to be maintained year round, not just the summer months when lake houses are full. I don't think it's reasonable to expect affordable month-to-month pricing.

Shebang lines are semantic comments too

Who's being glib now? Most people learn English because it's means making more money - in technology, finance, tourism, ...

> If for some reason your mail server is flagged by Gmail's systems, then it only won't reach Gmail users.

This is a deal breaker for most people and organizations. Not being able to send email to the largest email provider is orders of magnitude more important than upholding some values about decentralization and independence.

> I'm very confused how that has to do with anything?

Presumably people in the country are more easily able to grow vegetables. If they aren't doing it, then it implies that growing vegetables isn't worth the time.

I think there are other confounding factors like income and education.

All sorts of works of fiction have been sources of knowledge for much longer than film has been around. Aesop's fables and parables in the Bible are intentful examples. I don't find this horrifying.
