These schema are just applied uses of JSON and not modifications. But XML was perverted due to its inherent extensibility, The JSON syntax hasn't changed: scalars, arrays, associative arrays. That's all! So it has remained "p

Speaking of infuriating trackpad issues on macOS: Have you solved the three button problem on Linux/BSD over VNC on MacOS? I had it working on Ubuntu 14 & 16 and FreeBSD 11.3, but now it is busted on 18 and 20. So annoying.

Dead on. My first time with a single direct report was a catastrophe. I was like a helicopter parent (as opposed to a micromanager). I did get feedback from him that we felt more like peers than manager/report, which he said felt weird

There is a lot of fear around programmers losing their jobs due to this or that innovation. With a 35+ year perspective a few things have remained consistent: software jobs are not decreasing, their pay is; new innovations will always comma

I think the reaction you are seeing has to do with Attachment Theory used as a cudgel by speakers to allow narcissist and egotists to dismiss their shitty behavior. Esther Perel is a great example. She's like a modern day Ayn Rand who

Fun read, but does anyone actually change their coding practices based on high-level essays like this? HN seems to be filled with a highly opinionated bunch, and I question the point of these musings.

As someone who has worked on ADAS software and saw a simple un-optimized ML object detector beat a custom hardware solution at both speed and accuracy, I can honestly say machine learning is amazing. Just in this domain alone, excluding the

This article really complicates a simple concept: EVERY program needs a main(). Period. Whether it is called "main()" or ".ORG", or it is just an address given to a linker map, or simply a hex address in a BIOS boot sequ

I spent a month in Antibes (next to Cannes) visiting new in-laws. The French Riviera is a playground for the hundreds (thousands?) of saudi princes. I've never seen so many mega yachts, Rolls Royces, and Lambos in one place. To be hone

You and me both. I can't tell if you're jibing, but I do think twice before clicking on links that come from certain places, which I guess is "avoiding harder". :)

If enough people opt, it is a solution. Like littering: if I throw one cigarette butt out the window, is that really an environmental hazard? No. If a hundred million people each throw 20 out the window a day, then you have a problem.

I did NOT expect this to be under US$100. Definitely going for low power with SPI interface, but I don't get their refresh claim. SPI tops out around 1MB/s... 600x448x7 is ~235KB or 4 fps at 1MBps... but 15fps? That'd be 7MB&

How are citations not the fallacy of "appeal to authority"? Citations are basically an attempt at X.509 or Certificate Authority "root of trust": follow the certs until you find one we all agree is "trustyworthy&quo

Especially with lots of alt-right military-cosplayers that frequent portland to stir up conflict. It's hard to tell who is a fed goon and who is an alt-right goon when they both shop from the same military suppliers. This has been goin

Thank you. I failed reading 101: My fingers ran ahead of my brain. Very good analysis. I can see it took a lot of work and precise attention.

It would be great to include metrics on: 1. size of framework javascript required to load first 2. tooling to compile. For example, the Vue.js works without tooling, but the React w/Class requires command line tools to build before the

I love reading these articles because it is a win-win: 1. If I already know the tidbit, I give myself a pat on the back 2. If I don't know the tidbit, yay, I learned something. Someday I'll be 100% in the #1. What got me in this a
