I, and many others, use jq play[0] a lot to craft queries. However, jqplay.org sends everything to a back end behind the scene, so it can be slow for big input json, and not great for privacy. Someone recently integrated jq compiled to web

This only applies if you are the one running your own software. Websites are often offending, because they are run by the clients, so it matters less: they get bigger, with more JavaScript, maybe hosted far away, etc. I know of Website Carb

Isn't this true about anything one uses a lot? This year, many new 4k/120Hz monitor are being released, which is a good news: - Aorus M28U - Aorus FI32U - ROG PG32UQX (and the PG32UQ) And maybe more.

The closest thing we've had might be Lisp Machines, but that didn't work out. That's why Emacs is still great: users can do whatever they want with it, and they do. To a lower degree, we can sort of do that with workflow engi

In French (France and Quebec), people use "bogue" (even though they tend to pronounce it like "bug"). It means "burr", aka the spiky chestnut hull. To debug is "déboguer", which only means to debug (a

I used to be excited by Kotlin. After using it, and now having newer Java versions, I find it doesn't offer enough anymore. I'm thankful it might have helped Java get better though. I'm highly waiting for project loom to be r

In the airline industry, the xml version is still used and alive! Modern programming languages tend to have better libs to handle xml than edifact, so that helps.

Will this game still be playable in 20 years? In this case, wouldn’t bundling everything be more stable? It’s notoriously difficult to install some very old software on modern Linux distributions, because installing old dependencies might j
