at the large scale sure. at the small scale no. For example, look at all the different implementations of JSONPath in all the various language that do exactly the same thing: take in some JSON, extract some data from a specific point in it

pedantry: PGP hasn't been a product for many years. The product is "Semantec Encryption". GPG is still a thing. Separately "just use <public key encription>" implies it's easy to do. Even if we ignore the

I wouldn't bother seeking legal means to recover your money. The problem with that strategy is that it only works if there is a company remaining with money to pay you. They will go out of business. the company will have no money. In t

I was all ready to be like "yeah, but org-mode can already..." and then I watched the video. You know what? This is actually a great idea. I love the timer. The graphics are very clean and nice. This is a great simple little idea.

after reading the front page i honestly have no clue what this is, but i'm reasonably certain that part of it is a document db. the quickstart seem to imply that i throw JSON at it via APIs and that that ends up in the implied db. The

If you're in the US, you can get a Personal Pilot Glider license with 10hrs of flight time and 2hrs of schooling. Easy to do in 1 month. Costs ~$3,500, hours count towards a full pilot license later if you decide you want one.

what's the thinking around supporting projects that aren't node based? I've got tons of dependencies but none of them involve JS. Also, what many node devs have multiple projects they rely on. what about a tool for auto-mergi

I believe that the owners of a custom TLD (like amazon's .pay) have to pay ICANN every year to keep that TLD alive. I believe it's over $100k annually. as such, a forever registration would have to be a quasi-pyramid scheme where

Can you expand on this statement "It costs me only several cents to parse an entire page"? That sounds like quite a lot to me. We're talking _maybe_ a few seconds of compute time (if things are really slow) + a trivial amount

initial thoughts: - if indentation is significant, then save yourself headaches and require either tabs or spaces. Don't allow both. - not sure why i'd want to use this instead of plantuml which can do this, plus so much more.

HTML isn't a programming language. It's a markup language, and unlike CSS it's not Turing complete. So, you can't really program in it. Also, to be extra pedantic. SICP uses MIT Scheme, which technically _is_ a lisp in t
