Same! I wished there was a native app with the same layout as StackEdit. Btw both the website [0] and the library [1] are open source.

How did all the haze treats you yesterday?
Wow this is also awesome! Some programmers are truly creative people haha
Interesting! By "half life of 10 minutes", do you mean the language was changing too quickly under you or that it was difficult to remember the sigils?
* a non-alphabetic character
* that is at the start of a word
* that communicates meta-information about the word.
He gives the example of `echo $USER`, where `$` is a single that communicates that `USER` is a variable, presumably with some contents. Thus, I'd wager `$` is a sigil in `$foo`.
Sigilled "variables" do lose many of the perks that sigils provide though, as codesections explains in the blog.
While I understand where you're coming from, I'd argue that programming-related concepts are all "gobbledygook to non-programmers", that's to be expected. Having something like (this is close to valid Raku but it's not)
Positional[Any] ages = [42, 38, 25];
my @ages = [42, 38, 25];
This reminds of the character Ko Murakami in the manga World Trigger, who can master anything after trying it once and then sleeping on it. Great read if you like manga around strategies and battles.
Let's assume this was the case. How's that a dark pattern?
As soon as I read this, I was expecting the checkbox to be always checked and grayed out without the possibility of being checked out. It doesn't seem to be the case at the moment, according to the screenshot. As others have pointed out, I don't think this is a dark pattern.

Right-leaning outlets would definitely report on it and they'd be as wrong as left-leaning activists.
It's not censorship from the government. Parents need and should have a say about what it's taught to their children in public schools. Government censorship would be the government preventing anyone from buying or borrowing through any legal mean, and penalizing those who read it.
Off the premise it's not something I'm interested in but I'll put it in my reading list, just to see what it's all about haha
Exactly this. Whenever I read any of these articles with "book banning" on their titles it simply boils down to parents rightfully organizing and agreeing upon what should be appropriate reading material for their young children in school libraries and classrooms [1]. It's never about "book banning" because after all anyone can get the book from public libraries, bookshops, online retailers, etc. except from the school library in question.
[1]: I don't think it's the case for Atwood's book, however there's a documented common pattern about these "banned" books: Whenever concerned parents try to read them to their school boards, their mics are usually cut off because of the sexual and explicit of the material, which apparently adults cannot be subjected to yet young children should even without the parents' permission. Search for "parents read inappropriate books to school board" to see what I'm talking about.

Back in college I took a programming class that used Haskell and not having any other do way to perform iterations other than with recursion, you're forced to understand recursion. With imperative languages, you can always fall back to ol' for and while loops so you get the impression that recursion is simply a waste of time.
