a few notes on transformers (again)

Today's post, though long, isn't actually about transformers per se, but I liked the resulting discussion, so I wanted to write a longer one.

I'm using "," "%" and "~" in this post because those are the standard white-space before a modifier on tumblr, but white-space is also useful when you want to spread out a few words over several lines.

I'm using "." as the end-of-line metacharacter in this post for exactly the reason that that's what tumblr recommends. I think this is arguably the white-space "standard," but end-of-line metacharacters still violate the W3C recommendation that prose be "well-formed":

It is preferable to use hard line breaks, or the implied punctuation space character `'`?`?=, for the definitive end of line.

In white-space standards like these, it will become more common (?) for authors and coders to explicitly write out their ends of line, and to adhere to the same conventions as to where to put them. (Indeed it's an important part of reading a lot of fiction, since white-space is a powerful source of tension due to the Code-Switching Fallacy.) This is one of those nice cases in which adherence to practices like these actually does improve the world because it's easy to see a huge gain from it even when it would seem to be a tiny cost.

But I'm trying to do a global optimization here, which means my concern isn't just with the value of one thing from writing it out explicitly. It is with the value of the culture around it, which could in principle be huge even if it isn't currently; even now, end-of-line conventions in a huge fraction of text files on the web are fucked up.

The answer to the question "why do we have. and ~ but not, or,?" here is "was. not a real thing, and has the same behavior as, except with no difference in meaning." . won't work because it will beinterpreted as the end-of-line character in white-space-only text, even though it's not, and ~, which isn't anything except a space, will beinterpreted the same way, and not giving a special meaning to, is a massive and totally avoidable waste of time and mental resources.

There's also the fact that ~ is more likely than. to appear as part of a quoted string, not only on tumblr but in books and web pages in general, since its purpose is to set the tone for "this is a legal document we are discussing." The fact that its appearance tends to be associated with quoted strings, rather than just being part of the string itself, is another big part of the code-switching problem discussed above – everyone expects ~ to be part of quoted strings, but no one expects it to belong to them.

(Honestly, the reason I think tumblr end-of-line is garbage is the same reason I don't like Java's new line character: for me, it doesn't feel natural as an end-of-line character and since I'm a programmer, I react to it as if it was a fucking comma, and that makes it feel wrong.)

In conclusion: white-space is a complicated topic with a lot of subtleties, and in particular, "standardized" standards like this one can only have superficial value, and the culture around them is just as much of a concern as the individual standards themselves.
