   It's very annoying to do that though since that introduces a bunch of logic in the application and also removes the benefit of being able to read the strings in the XML as a human.

   Yeah, that's why I consider it to be a breeding ground for vulnerabilities. People will probably just assume the XML serializer can handle any strings in their language of choice and not handle those edge cases. What I ended up doing f

   Most languages (C#, Java, Rust, JavaScript, etc.) support nulls in the middle of strings so it can be a security vulnerability if you try to serialize untrusted input to XML. I'd much rather be able to encode anything my input language

   The current XML standard is hot garbage since it completely disallows null characters even via "" despite most languages now supporting nulls in the middle of strings. Also, JSON definitely allows schemas, primarily throug

   My biggest gripe with XML is that it can't represent arbitrary strings easily. Even in the latest versions of XML, you can't easily serialize strings with embedded nulls since it is forbidden by the spec to even use something like

   Personally, while I don't take either now, I could never go back on Vyvanse due to the severe appetite suppression I experienced on that medication which I did not have with Adderall. These medications are not completely interchangeabl

   From what I read in the article, you need to also avoid signing anything that says you’ll sign something else later (why in the world is that kind of contract legal?).

   I know there at least used to be implications for immigration depending on the terminology for the job description.

   I think that’s part of the point. This vast sprawl is somewhat caused by our over reliance on private vehicles. Also, a factor of more than 2 for travel times is VERY bad for public transit, even in the US.

    It’ll be worse because the average number of people per vehicle will be less than 1.

    It's really important for long term projects to keep access to all dependencies. Package lock files only guarantee that your inputs are still correct but they do not guarantee your inputs will still be around in 10 years.

    I think PWM can be used with success if the frequency is high enough. https://www.dxomark.com/flicker-the-display-affliction/ claims that most people should be ok with PWM above 250Hz.

    There may be several layers of grouping, particularly for opera. There are multiple acts per opera, multiple scenes per act, and there may be multiple songs per scene. If you try and list these as a single "album" you end up with

    There are still a ton of differences: contemporary music doesn't have the same divisions of works into movements separate from what appears on an album (you don't generally have covers of entire albums); while a cover of a particu

    For me, it's the extra security and convenience. If the website doesn't use Shopify/PayPal, I'm trusting them with my credit card information and who knows how good their database security is.

    Multiple queries from the frontend is still not great because the latency is much higher than doing at the server all else being equal.

    Where I think orchestras will continue to win out is for live performances. What amplification can do is complete crap compared to pure acoustic much less trying to record and reproduce something without a million dollar sound system. This

    For actual classical musicians, I'm not sure how much they would ever realistically make off of album sales. Most are funded through donations AFAIK and then through ticket sales. There's a reason why almost no one in the classica

    It also benefits users in that you can implement more features and fix more bugs in less time. Performance is a feature and what that means is that while you can't just completely ignore it, it's not always the highest priority.

    I think you've highlighted a big problem with SPAs in that they can encourage multiple API calls per user action. IMO, you should probably have a single endpoint per thing a user might do that might combine several conceptual APIs. i.e

    I think the view transitions API will be good, but it's currently only available for Chromium browsers so it is not really a competitor to SPAs for the time being. I'm also kind of opposed to really broad generalizations like this

    What kind of candy bars are those? That's like 10 candy bars. A US Hershey bar is only 220 calories which is pretty standard for a candy bar. The real MVP for calories at minimum price is peanut butter. A bottle of Walmart peanut butte

    I work at Microsoft and I'd use Java (not even C# and yes at work) a hundred times before I'd consider using Go again. Go dependency management is a bit better these days, but the build system is an absolute mess, logging is dread

    After the GFC, banks and investment firms had to get really good at computing risk and impact from events like this so it probably won’t be too long.

    Nvidia actually does support this via unified memory. It’s actually an amazing performance trick since you can avoid launching a bunch of kernels just to ferry data back and forth. I did this on a a GTX 1080 for a school project to speed up

    That's the biggest killer feature for me vs. C/C++. Any time I write C++, I avoid libraries like the plague unless they do a ton of stuff because it's such a hassle.

    I think most of the difficulty people experience is when they try to naïvely use references anywhere they would normally use a pointer. That mostly works for functions, but this ends up getting really confusing and difficult for data object

    I wonder if it's just a bunch of old and outdated Roku boxes causing problems? They probably work off of a ~3-5 year support cycle like phones but are updated even more infrequently by endusers (why should they if it's still worki
