Hard agree. They also glossed over JS using a single threaded model precisely to avoid the huge mental overhead of dealing with multi-threaded models (I'm saying this is why it happened and this is the problem they aimed to solve, not

The qualities of sets that arrays don't have (and vice versa) are irrelevant to the point of neither being implicitly representable in XML. You're either providing complex objects as properties or you're providing a list of c

Yeah this was what I was going for, same point stands

by KnobbleMcKnees 3y ago
No you've misunderstood my point. This doesn't work for cases where one child is in fact a property that is a complex object. XML claims to solve the problem of attributes vs children but then falls short at the first hurdle by no

This is a bad take. Let me sum up. >>“I need to configure this server and the server needs to know if this value is true or false.” >No, that’s bad. Don’t do that. That’s not a good use for XML. First, the primary case that people

That arrays point is such a weakness in XML that I rarely see addressed. Arrays and lists are such a common data structure in almost every programming language of the past 40 years that not having first class syntax for representing them is

I agree with this, and also in a complimentary way, but it all seems very non-idiomatic for Go. But I am not a Go expert by any means.

Which, they didn't. Per the aforementioned hardware safety features. Extremely broad and reliable rule of thumb: hardware safety features > software safety features

I couldn't have guessed that Sheerness had a natural scorpion population and yet somehow it isn't surprising either.

You reminded me of this [0] fantastic review of Sheerness in Kent. Blackpool is mentioned several times in comparison. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/u2vu5x/i_thi...

There are lots of hardware features that enable cutoff (such as thermal runaway detection) but that's irrelevant to situations in which the environment has not been prepared for printing. For example, your workshop may be well ventilat

It also works where you don't have ssh to tunnel files, which is true for many servers in many professional environments.

The common use I'm referring to is similar to the OP, which is using it as a framework for assessing risk. In particular, aligning a team on the "known unknowns" is critical to building the confidence and alignment needed as

No he didn't, it was needlessly confusing and the fact that it introduced uninformed and unresolved intrigue for him and his wife goes entirely against the point he was trying to make. The reason being that: context is everything. When

I agree and this is a practical method that I've seen work well in several companies I've worked for. However I think there's a bigger problem that contributes to the loss of "spark" that the author strangely didn&#

That was Donald Rumsfeld!? I always assumed this came from some techie or agile guru given how much it's used as a concept in project planning.

Whenever I'm sat in a four mile tailback at 6pm, I often look at everyone in the cars around me and, if they make eye contact, I give them a little nod and a smile, as though to say, " We chose this. This was a great choice "

I believe the part about hard coding production data was referring to recreation of the bug, not implementing the solution which the author describes subsequently as "a couple of array functions". There's a fair bit of hand w

I called his writing shitty. I like George and have used a lot the tools he's written over the years. I've made similar tools myself. Are you so offended that I have a single critical opinion of him? Because that's a reflecti

The implication was that his technical knowledge is very good and his writing is not, but you missed that while you were getting angry.

I don't wish him any ill and hope the same... But it's been over a decade since I started following him and if there is a trajectory to maturity and quality in his writing, I haven't been able to track it. And that's put
