Job Description Markup Language (JDML) is an industry standard with great Java support. Why reinvent the wheel with a custom JSON format?

Thanks. I'm reposing here because I found it hard to find: You think you understand?? Submitted by Ngorana of Sinivit, South Coast Baining, Papua New Guinea on August 7, 2012 - 7:49pm I agree that some cultures and child rearing and

The thread was very interesting, but I didn't see any posts by Baining people, which would be very interesting to me. Can you provide a link or the usernames they were using so I can search?

Seem completely normal to me. However the people who post on articles about criminal justice on HN are not a random sample of the population. The law considers punishment to be a valid role of the justice system, even though punishment sh

> So inventing languages is a good thing, as a research topic into how natural languages work (with plenty of provisos, of course). That might be your opinion, I don't think it's a useful research project. Are you aware of an

Saying what you think is stupid isn't a useful contribution. If you're going to spam political opinions, at least give some argument. (edited for tone)

by JesperRavn 11y ago
The problem with inventing languages is that we don't fully understand natural languages. For example, there is no satisfactory formal semantics for natural languages. Categorical grammar and Montague grammar are some inroads into fo

It's like a cockroach--you never see just one cockroach, if you do, there's a lot more you're not seeing. This is a great example of the kind of reasoning I was talking about. Because of your political beliefs you have d

No I never said that. My point is that articles like this are written and promoted for ulterior reasons. The right wing believe that the US must maintain an iron grip on the world. Even left wing newspapers like the New York Times have a

The US has engaged in half a dozen wars in the last two decades. It has incited military coups in South America for the last century. It claims the Northwest Passage through Canada is an international strait. Big powers will try to exert d

You should talk to a logic expert. Luckily I am one :^) Just because there is some element of faddishness, doesn't mean that something is entirely arbitrary. E.g. sushi used to be mostly white fish, and salmon was considered too gre

Google search, GMail, Youtube are not platforms. They don't rely on an ecosystem of external developers. Android is, but it is generally considered less developer friendly than iOS.

I don't work for Microsoft, and it's sad that you assume anyone with a different opinion from yourself is a fanboy.

I'm not very familiar with the literature. I found a Guardian article[0] citing a number of studies that "debunked" wine tasting. But the studies didn't seem conclusive to me. I'm wary of both connoisseurs and ac

Top rated comments tend to engage in a deep way with the matter at hand, and not some superficial side issue. My point wasn't related to health, but to the aesthetic qualities of the food itself. I don't think Panda Express is ve

I was going by the article here, which didn't say what the price range being distinguished was, and didn't cite any studies. I was more concerned with the logic that (even provably) refined tastes just reflected an arbitrary pref

Why do you consider execution so different from killing people in combat?

The author claims that being able to distinguish expensive wines from cheap ones simply means that a person has developed an arbitrary preference drive by the wine industry. They article even explicitly states "wine is not art".

This is the logical conclusion of title IX, which is the education version of section VII of the civil rights act. Both define discrimination in such a broad way, that expressing an opinion could be considered as discrimination. Whether th

No one would get fired for saying that, but (clearly) the company has decided that the current strategy is the right one. My take is that Google is less developer-friendly than Microsoft and Apple. Google does not rely on external develope

Google and Apple have both been trolled by the critics of so called skeuomorphism. While leather binders and bookshelves are excessive, Apple's pre-flat iOS design was really good, and all the criticism that lead to flat/material

The problem with this list is that a large proportion of programming texts are available free online. So in most cases it's easier to find the book your interested in, then search for a similar book with a free version. This list woul

Very nice article. It gives a good summary of the insights gained by Nash Equilibrium, and the limitations of the concept. In Economics, it is typical to search for stricter conditions for equilibrium than Nash equilibrium, which avoid the

From my reading, the author didn't connect these two issues. It's just that perspective, and time, lead her to realize that her husband's death wasn't her own fault, and also allowed her to feel anger at her husband for

I think a better illustration of the usefulness of PL research is to compare the languages produced my Microsoft and Google. Microsoft produces C# and Typescript. Google produced Go and Dart. I think it's fair to say that C# is a bet
