Hm, couldn't you make the same argument about punch cards? The abstractions you talk about translate to different mediums differently. I think text/code/string is a very universal and low tech medium, but I don't think t

I can't imagine directly translating any project I've worked on to a non-code representation. But, that's only because they've been developed not only in code, but for code. I can totally see a post-code development ex

I used sub-1gb dev laptop until ~2015. The only real problem was the web browser. A Firefox or a Chromium would eat at least 1gb of RAM just for showing a single tab. That was annoying. I came away not wanting more ram, but wanting a less b

Guy, you're not following me. I'm not saying US is better. I've not even mentioned it.

We're not only talking about infrastructure. We're also talking about wholesale killing of civilians. And, if someone else does it, does that change what it is? Terrorism does not have an ambiguous definition.

Wow, that's really versatile! Thanks for sharing! `json2nt` seems like a great alternative to `jq .` for pretty printing.
