B2B magazines and websites are full of churnalism. They are unreadable. The issue here is that for every journalist there are 6 to 7 PR people. (There approx. 45,000 journalists but 297,000 PR people in the USA. PR agencies employ 114,000 p

I’ve tried JSON, YAML, and TOML for storing data. Last time, I ended up with an 8,000-line JSON file. And I had to write an editor for it, because text-based editing caused more syntax errors than I expected (what a surprise :). But each of

This. People skim, they don’t read. Back in the 90's when they were looking for a killer app for browsers, who knew that video would be the real killer app (of the brain and attention).

All big projects eventually have a specific background. I totally agree. Sometimes it works. Other times it doesn't work in long term and the cursed technology debt catches up with the company.

Why are we alive? To be useful. Not happy all the kind. Everyone wants to be useful. I am not doing anything special but I do inform our community (“mankind”) for 25 years… And I feel useful because I am good at it. “Mankind” can be a group

You are right. But I really think if you know C lang (all of Python or PHP people could be jealous :) - you can easily focus on something a little bit important/useful that will have impact on humanity. You have a great potential if yo

12 years old untouched framework (Nette). It worked with PHP 5.4 but as hosting provider switched to PHP 8, I’d rather pay extra fee for 5.4 and slowly rebuild site to 8, because there are so many things you probably need to change… This is

It is not about threat. It is about that life is too short to do things that are almost nonsense. Ofc everyone of us consider “nonsense” in different way. I wish OP good luck. It was not sarcastic, I really do, and would like to hire him&#x

Every cent counts. What is wrong is that this behaviour is being perpetrated by an organisation that one would not expect to see it. Edit: Every 500 euros count… “ Today is about dark patterns that cost me 500€ for nothing.”

Yes, don’t tell me this. I have to rewrite PHP based website because a framework doesn’t work with new PHP anymore. Back compatibility sucks in many software.

It is a natural entropy of web system. We could not hope that everything would remain simple. Thanks for all the open standards and frameworks that we don't have to license. And yes, it is a paralysis of choice.

Hemingway was just an example imho. But yes, LLM is just a very clever text composer that tries to understand our inputs and statistically is right in some per cent of answers. And it is clever enough to fool people to think that they commu

I know it ;) But we are talking about how to use something universal. I like pandoc as it is easy to use and… boring.

I’d suggest LaTeX because of its strengths with tables, mathematical notation, and similar content. LaTeX notation works well for this and can be easily converted to both web and PDF formats. But compilation speed definitely needs improveme

Yeah, you’re right. Ease of entry brings more creative people into the industry, but over time it all boils down to ~5 hegemons, see FAANG - but those are disrupted over time by the next group (and eventually bought out by those hegemons).
