The lack of trailing commas is one of my big problems with JSON.

Congrats!!!

Jonathan Coulton's early stuff is great. Someone recorded an entire concert he did back in his early years... you can watch the whole thing here starting here:

A never ending list! The problems of being a writer!

This is very cool!!! I'm excited to see how cross-compatible this is with Windows (since I switch pretty frequently). Also, I love the little `0` shell script. That's very cool.

Have you written a post about other sorts of small scripts that you have on your system that are useful?

The difference comes from COMPARE_OP needing to load something, whereas IS_OP already has access to the object's ID.

This is a case where PEP 8's convention reflects a real world performance gain for no mental overhead.

❯ python -m timeit -s 'a = 1' 'a is None'
50000000 loops, best of 5: 6.28 nsec per loop

❯ python -m timeit -s 'a = 1' 'a == None'
20000000 loops, best of 5: 15.1 nsec per loop

I don't think it's too compact. Comprehensions are really fast, so they're good to use.

I agree with what @browniebroke.com said about how you formatted the comprehension to make it more readable. And if this were checked into prod code, I'd probably have explanatory comments in the code/commit.

This was a beautiful story, Ned. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
