   Well, I like to think of myself as an engineer (on a good day), and I think 100% successful launches with "old tired designs" is bragworthy.

   I really regret disliking XML all those years ago, now that I've seen the alternative.

   Every time I see a JSON config file I miss those kilobytes of XML.

   It's only possible to get hired by anyone (including, probably, by you - how do you select candidates, exactly?) by resume-padding with trendy largely-useless items like kubernetes microservices etc. Be the change you want to see in th

   Carroll as an intro to general relativity is a great recommendation from the OP. I have been learning it (albeit with preexisting differential geometry knowledge) from Carroll and MTW. An unmentioned benefit of MTW is that, because it is so

   The great thing about all these config files is as a barometer for the popularity of various bad flavor-of-the-month config file formats reinventing key=value.

    I'm not sure that there's any "peak" to compare it to. I mean, my whole wishlist for the RSS ecosystem is basically: 1) people stop inexplicably calling it "dead" Being "dead" has its fringe benefits,

    RSS is still not dead! You are on a website, RIGHT NOW, that publishes fully operational RSS feeds! So do all the popular blog CMSes! So do all the popular static blog generators! Even your own blog that you just linked publishes working RS

    To be clear, not only is the package in question not "missing short options, prompting for options and using environment variables for options", there is not even the slightest indication on its docs site that it might be missing

    Look, much of the purpose of posting things in a public forum is not to directly converse with the person to whom you are replying, but to add something relevant and interesting to third-party readers of the thread. It's up to you whet

    This is very, very similar to something I've been working on. I'll email you to trade thoughts, if you're interested.

    You're doing proprietary software! You want to control it, you want to be the only person able to make money off it, and you magnanimously allow others to have the source under terms forbidding them from threatening your monopolies. I

    Ledger is almost great software, except that it uses signed numbers. Why?!

    BTW, why is "running the balance" a discrete operation to accountants? Because accountants' source of truth is the transaction log, which they call a "ledger". Ledger entries look (conceptually, not literally) like

    I mean, it's not hard to remember. They're liability-like. It's just their uses in practice that're confusing. BTW, nonprofits have Net Assets accounts instead of Equity accounts.

    I would love to make use of my strong cross-disciplinary skills like this, but I see no evidence that this is actually true.

    It's actually less wrong, but still wrong, to say the exact opposite (i.e., "Debits always increase and Credits always decrease").

    This comment expressing confusion on this valiantly misguided OP seems like a good place to throw my standard explanation out into the aether to do neither readers nor myself any good. A transaction has two polarities, because it represents
