here is the graph data structure (triplestore) i have. it is optimised for certain lookups/queries. if i represent triangles with properties i don't really need to add anything to the data structure. i only need to enforce some restrictions. eg. no more than two properties (faces) per vertex pair

I really like what they’re doing here. Keyword arguments have many advantages over positional ones, but have the big disadvantage of verbosity. Here the editor auto inserts keyword arguments when one performs direct manipulation so manually typing the keywords is seldom required.

I've come to believe that high co-locality is generally good. Don't separate stuff by kind. Put helpers next to things they help. Put constants directly above the functions that use them, etc.

i think the only way for atproto to succeed is for us to show what apps can do when every app sees every other app's public data, and they share an identity system. no technical or sociological argument is as convincing as seeing seamless interop and the lighthearted competitive landscape it unlocks
