pytest supports running Python unittest-based tests out of the box. — How to use unittest-based tests with pytest

During the Internet’s adolescence, words (and thus blogs) were easier to come by, because for the most part, almost all of the interaction we had online was using devices designed for interaction via text.

Editing Lisp dialect in Neovim like a pro: beside Vim’s builtin (e.g., vib to select inside brackets), paredit.vim (e.g., [[ go to top-level form), treesitter and nvim-treesitter-textobjects lets you navigate around your code easily, and incremental selection is a breeze. I originally used vv (init the selection), va (aka increase or <C-a>) and vx (aka decrease or <C-x>), but now I just use <tab> that other folks often use as an alias for %. #vim

  incremental_selection = {
    enable = true,
    keymaps = {
      init_selection = "<tab>",
      node_incremental = "<tab>",
      node_decremental = "<S-tab>",
    },
  }
