I'm adding a += operator to my programming language, because writing `x = x + 1` is tedious. This opens the tricky design question of which operators should support this. Is += and -= sufficient, or do you expect things like >>= and **= to be available?

I've been writing docs for different programming language operators (+, *, == and so on). Each one gets a separate web page. I've suddenly realised that / is much harder! docs/+ and docs/== is fine, but docs// just doesn't work as a URL in a static site. Any ideas?

I've written difftastic packaging instructions: https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/packaging_difftastic.html The different distros have taken different approaches, so I'm trying to help with common gotchas — don't forget the man page! Feedback welcome, especially if you've ever packaged something 🙂
