Yes, it's the mandatory part that makes the difference. It's not enough to have formatters - Gofmt was not even early in that race - but enforcing its use is critical. And so is not providing options to control the format.

@robpike@hachyderm.io So. Good job on that. I did a longish reply on ycombinator. TL;DR; The problem I face often is that we defined formatting rules but did not make them strictly mandatory. This leads to (non-functional) divergence between reality and "correct". That delta is a huge problem for code janitors. OTOH, there are like 3 janitors for every 1000 programmers, so maybe this is just the world's smallest violin playing just for them.

This HOWTO pay maintainers is a great, practical example for how to get some maintainers paid (at least a bit). I especially like the whole debate on _who_ to give money to and that it's not _donations_ but _steady payments_. Good stuff in there, thanks @… for writing it.

Gotta admit I found it pretty irritating, in the xz discussion of the last two weeks, that some people declared confidently "you can't pay maintainers". (cc @ehashman@toot.cat) It isn't *easy* to pay maintainers, but it can be done: at Tidelift, we've been doing it for years. So I figured I'd write up how we do it and what we've learned. And yes, it's a HOWTO. Be glad I also avoided an FAQ ;) https://blog.tidelift.com/paying-maintainers-the-howto

From the vault, today's question:
Will people on the Internet argue about anything?
by Sarah's Scribbles
#Internet

1 - Sarah's asking the question 2 - group of people with forks appear immediately saying "Yes!" 3 - second group of people with forks, saying "No!" 4 - 2 groups rushing towards each other "yes! no! yes! no!..." 5 - focus on Sarah, with a smile, people fighting in the background

Well, it turns out that the #godot 360 panorama #vr renderer I wrote still wasn't right.
It does a final image-warp to map from the perspective projection it renders into an equirectangular projection for playback, and the function was doing the opposite of the intended job.
I only thought it was working because it also had an eye-switching bug which fixed the eyes-rendering-wrong bug in the earlier code so really seemed to make things look better.
Only really became apparent as I got to rendering things other than test graphics.
That's fixed now, by reversing the mapping function.
Is it right now? Yes? Maybe. I dunno. I don't really understand the maths let alone why I had to reverse it.
Like the Doctor says, you can just #reverseThePolarityOfTheNeutronFlow, give it a try.

@robpike@hachyderm.io Something that doesn't seem to get a lot of mention is the *nature* of what you and Russ Cox were working on. I.e. Google has these two super experienced, highly productive, very smart, programmers working on ... consistent code formatting in BUILD files. I feel like there's a very important lesson here for IT managers, around letting your most experienced people act as force multipliers by improving the environment in which code is written and maintained.
