From the Perl side, there's been an interesting talk by Graham TerMarsch[1] where he tried quite a few of the allegedly fastest JSON parsers and compared them to the standard solution (JSON::XS). Apparently a lot got lost "in tran

Meh, if the proprietary software has a good UI, it's going to do well -- open source tends to suck on that front, quite often because it's cross-platform and that doesn't favor the OS X look. Sure, for programmers and command

Meanwhile in Germany doctors are still using fax machines and dot matrix printers heavily, as there's no good solution for digital signatures and some paperwork still needs physical carbon copies. Also, in the few years since this was

Some good arguments, but the "main sponsor is blockchain-y" was a bad start for me. That totally killed my interest in RED... Is this as in "biggest patreon donor" or "company that employs main developer(s)"?

They did a pretty good job shepherding it, although I'm still not too fond that the current trend is fueled by the Javascriptification of all the things. Sadly, meanwhile "Standard" ML is languishing in academia...

I'm actually a bit sad that it seems there's no decent standard for just syncing the read status and subscriptions, combined with some good native clients (like NetNewsWire, which always was one of my prime examples of why the OS

I don't see age being the prime factor here. The X Toolkit Intrinsics (Xt) are actually a quite nice framework if you want to have an abstraction over Xlib, want some nice event loop functionality or OO features in C. I think I even re

Believe me, I could sing songs of pain about "CSV", its various delimiters, escapes and encodings. Makes you almost wish for the horrible format garbage that is Excel… But in this case you're not messing with some arbitrary C

Lawyers. WP was really, really common amongst the legal profession for a while, and from what I've heard, being forced to migrate to Word is still much lamented. But it's quite a bit harder to pull a GRRM there.

Another approach to this is wrapping the query in a `copy to stdout` statement (either in the .sql or with a tiny wrapper), then converting the CSV to JSON. If you're doing the processing with jq and don't want to install any othe
