   Crockford (and many others) found that the many flaws inherent to XML warranted a new specification, so JSON was born. If you have an issue with JSON, go create your own spec, don’t shit all over the perfectly capable, simple, elegant speci

   Petabytes of JSON formatted data flowing across the internet every second of every day disagree with your assessment.

   Exactly, hasn’t NPM caused enough problems? Now you want to spread that mindset to JSON?

   I actually think the lack of comment support in JSON has resulted in better naming and better documentation by those who create JSON to be consumed by others. I don’t want comment support in JSON at this point personally.

   It allows those responsible for these events to feign lack of agency. The Third Reich was enabled by convincing people that they had no agency and demanded that they adhere to the will of the bureaucracy - even when that meant genocide. Not

   More like selectively scrubbing news and politics, this case in point being one more example to add to this troubling trend.

   Why not just use iOS Messages or whatever Android app Google has anointed for the next 15 minutes for messaging?

    I suppose every app you work on runs the same query repeatedly? Yes, load balancing makes sense, but the author is specifically looking at requests per thread, i.e., wouldn't it be great (and more cost effective) to get as much throug

    I keep seeing some variation of: “ORMs are really intended for x” or “ORMs work best when y is true”. At some point we should take an honest look to determine if ORMs provide enough benefit to justify their existence. “I can talk to the dat

    That’s a huge dependency to take on just for mapping and serializing, something that most languages provide in a standard library or base functionality of the language itself.

    Wow! Who would have thought that using an ORM would create so much uncertainty in a codebase.

    I scroll directly past the accepted answer on many SO questions as I often find that the second or third highest ranked answer is often actually the best answer.

    NY Times in its quest to shame anyone who doesn't fit their uber woke mold is losing readers and credibility. I hope 2021 is the year that we start to reject this braindead culture and start to embrace real journalism and fact based re

    Yes, Swift is fundamentally imperative... but it has functional concepts littered throughout in ways that are obtuse, unhelpful, and unavoidable.

    Agreed, Swift has an obsession with functional programming that is just so off-putting to me and I suspect many others.

    Not surprised that this project had trouble gaining traction given Swift's obsession with shoe-horning functional concepts into every crevice of the language, e.g., I can't get through a single Swift tutorial without having to get

    One can’t even engage in these discussions without being accused of being an extremist/buffoon/racist/etc. It’s literally an issue tailor made for the ruling class to divide people. The core issues here have now been weaponiz

    Dividing Americans down racial lines rather than socioeconomic lines literally helps the benefactors of this bribery gravy train keep their grip on America.

    I’m a big supporter and user of open source software, but I must say the office suite open source world seems like a real shit show. I’m personally very happy using the office tools bundled with MacOS.

    JavaScript and it’s variants are 1st place for the browser (shoe in on a technicality) ... but like 213th for everything else.
