No error for me.

$ info {command} although not available for all commands will often give texts that are more tutorial in nature. If you don't like the interface of info, you can use tkinfo instead.

Just get in the habit of checking for your keys before you go through any door. It takes no mental effort once it's a habit. If they aren't in your pocket (or in my case a lanyard) then they are in that room or vehicle, so you should recover them before going out. This method worked for me 100% for decades. It only failed after I got married and my wife started stealing them. But it's usually not too hard to find her.

# No else statement, shorter.
def foo(x: int) -> str:
    if x%2:
        return "first"
    return "last"

This is easier to think about for me: am I weird? Numbers can be interpreted as boolean in C but not in Go, which came later and is presumably an improvement.

I drop files I want to share in ~/public_html/files/ as I have a webserver running on my desktop with the firewall open to the local network. Might be tough for a noob to setup though. But on my phone the file shows up in /~christopher/files/ and I have trouble remembering how to type the tilde.

To install it on emacs 29 paste this into a scratch buffer and evaluate it:

(package-vc-install
  '(minimpc :url "https://codeberg.org/nmtake/minimpc.el.git"))

And put this in your init.el: (require 'minimpc)

You don't need Vertico or Orderless. I'm using emacs' built-in completion--it works fine.

I'm pretty sure Android Studio has a search function for its menus.

In case you're on Archlinux, the thonny 4.1.4-1 package in chaotic-aur unofficial repo works for me.

For the ebook, install pandoc, then run this:

pandoc -f rst -t epub2 -o pkgsample.epub --metadata title="nedbat/pkgsample: A simple example of how to structure a Python project" --metadata author="Ned Batchelder" https://github.com/nedbat/pkgsample/raw/main/README.rst
