Oh, I think you have something, but I don't think JSON and JCOF are comparable. I think it makes a very interesting replacement for formats where there is a header line like CSV, TSV. JCOF allows for some level of consistent nested str

I love how the industry takes a word like "devops" and redefines it until meaningless. I think that has happened to Zero Trust as well.

I think zero trust describes the philosophy more than the implementation. Design the network so that we treat every device like it is not to be trusted.

Zero Trust is as simple as setting up your network so there are no arbitrary services added to the network that are discoverable or visible that are not known in advance, vetted and trusted. For end users it looks like a wifi hotspot where

JCOF is not usable in many of the use cases where JSON is. Here is why: * JSON is really schemaless so I don't have to assume all objects are shaped the same or that they are even the same kind of object. This allows for streaming seri

For languages, I usually write something that generates data, saves it, retrieves it, puts it in sqlite, processes it, reports on it. Boring, but it makes you implement some basic data structures, loops, logic, organize code into functions&

I think this requires a totally different approach to programming. The spec/proof/code cycle exists rarely in the real world. The AI generated code has the disadvantage of being trained on imperfect code, without having any contex

Enforcing arbitration is usually pretty easy - most of the time the company will honor the decision. It's when they don't that is the problem, or where the situation is not a contractual dispute that can be arbitrated.
