I've recently came by this article Brett Berry on Medium: https://medium.com/i-math/why-5-x-3-5-5-5-was-marked-wrong-b... I was so irritated with the whole argument protecting what seemd so obviously wrong for me

You either completely missed or completely ignored my point.

That's a good advice.

Even if I'm not looking for a new position, I reply to offers which really match my profile. If I don't reply on the first mail, I'll also definitely ignore the follow-ups.

I'm really not sure if abandoning homework is a good idea. I went to school in the Soviet Union/Russia, we had ca. 5 hours school a day and around 2-3 hours of homework, 6 days a week. I surely can't provide solid scientific

We actually had 6-day studing week in Soviet Union in the school. There were normally two schifts, one ca. 8-13 and the other one ca. 14-19. After school or before school we had a few hours of homework every day, I'd say between 2 and

Oh, yes, Meccano is a good hint. Requires different mechanical/fine motoric skills compared to Lego Technik/Fischertechnik. As for Infento - looks very neat, a bit too "prepared" for my taste. We do such things from wood

Thank you. I absolutely don't think the question about baseball at the speed of light is silly.

Very good, thank you. Why limit access to resources?

by orless 11y ago
A good question to ask, sure. :) My problem is that I have only a very basic idea about how most things which surround us work.

That's more or less what we do. :) Ok, that was not hammer and nails but an electric drill/scredriver and screws but you got the point. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, he handles 9+ pretty well. He's now playing a lot with Fischertechnik ( http://www.fischertechnik.de/home/produkte.aspx ), it's a German analog of Lego Technic (or vice versa, whatever), but as far as I ca

Oh, Hackerspace is a good hint. We'll definitely come by. And they're basically around the corner (allright, a few kilometers). http://www.hackerspace-ffm.de/

I understand your point, but wouldn't worry much about it. He's actually very well balanced, has a very good overall development.

I work for the Deutsche Bahn (German Railways) and have a lot of colleagues in late 50ies or 60ies. Most of them profile on some system or subject area, many spent like 20-30 years in a certain branch (like selling channels or timetable sys

Was also think about Minecraft. He knows about it from some of his friends and used to play "Toca Builders" - a kind of Minecraft for juniors.

Thank you. My problem is that I don't know a lot of "smart" things. A normal offline toy shop does not have much to offer. And you have to know what to look for online. Makeblock looks interesting.

... which, by the way, does not mean that JSON Schema is bad or unusable. I actually quite like it, it has certaint elegance. Just not really standard.

I should have probably said "equally good".

The point is, XML is quite good for unstructured, semi-structured and strongly-structured data and is more versatile from this point of view.

I just see no big difference between xs:decimal and JSONNumber. None of them is defined precisely enough to guarantee unambiguous handling of numbers like 1.0000000000000000000000000000001.

JSON does not have float (nor double) either. JSON has JSONNumber.

Well, the `xs:decimal` example is quite interesting. In the XML Schema specification on xs:decimal ( http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#decimal ), you'll see the following note: All minimally conforming processo

I'm also not sure I'm getting you. In JSON, types can be unambiguously deferred by syntax/via gramar. You can't mistake JSONString for JSONNumber/JSONNullLiteral/JSONBooleanLiteral, the type is absolutely clear

This looks nice, but my question is, why not LeafletJS or OL3? What are the unique features?
