Sure there is. But since it is not a continuous range there are the fixed separators --T::. between the parts. It is the javascript time format, which is a subset of the RFC3339 and ISO8601 time formats. The separators help at least to allo

The sad reality of large software companies. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if there are engineers who spend their entire career without getting any of their code into production before each of their projects are cancelled.

> That sure doesn't sound like numbers are 64 bit floats, according to the spec. It can't be 64 bit floats, because they are represented as decimal numbers, not binary. You will be surprised to also hear that most base conversi

by stkdump 3y ago
Simple, the RFC even calls that out: assume 64 bit float as specified by IEEE and as basically supported everywhere. Why should JSON do anything else than the rest of the world does?

I don't know, it is trivially simple to choose either Unix timestamp (which is relatively close to what MessagePack is doing) or JSs format [1] if you like a bit more readability and time zone deltas. Or any of the zillion more complex

Most binary JSON variants including MessagePack deviate from the spirit of JSON in one fundamental way: they are not simple. The JSON file format can accurately be described with a few simple syntax diagram that fit comfortably on a printed

It's not like you will be able to upgrade the CPU. Even RAM isn't mentioned.

See now what I mean by calling this a trade-off? Not everyone is in the same boat. I don't understand how this can even be a controversial stance.

I have been working on a monorepo C++ codebase with on the order of 1000 person years of development on it. And no, we didn't have major issues with memory leaks either. About on par with what I have seen in garbage collected languages

I have been full time in C++ development for >15 years. I can count the number of times I had memory correctness issues that weren't discovered and fixed trivially on one hand, all of them very early in my career. As your adage, of

Oh, there are lots of PrEP equivalents. For example NX. Or virtual memory more in general. Or static analysis. Etc etc. If you think the modern ecosystem is as memory bug prone as it was in the 80s, you are being incredibly naive.

The modern insistence on (absolute) memory safety feels like another symptom of regression. It is like going back to insisting you can and should be absolutely safe from HIV by making certain lifestyle choices. In the '80s we knew that

No word on price. When Raspberry Pi first launched, this was the prime feature of the thing. Can we expect same price as the Raspberry Pi 4? (at the respective RAM level) Edit: found it here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news

I see it the other way around. Few people say: I don't work (or work less), because work doesn't pay enough. Everyone has to cover their own cost of living. On the other hand, plenty of people would actually work less, if they mak

It is a standard feature for many factories, but usually for transporting cargo, not passengers/commuters.

I don't think this is true. The original specification (ECMA 404) only covers the formal language, i.e. what are valid documents and not what their memory representation after deserialisation is. A parser that rejects a number because

The great thing about that conversion is that due to the reciprocal relationship the same conversion formula works both ways, so you don't have the risk of converting the wrong way.

Interestingly though, the extent to which big corporations outcompete small business is different in different economies. For example in Europe a much larger part of the economy is driven by small/medium business than in America.

JS date format pretty much lives at the intersection of them, afaict, so it should be the perfect choice for interoperability. Also, I gather it makes working with dates simpler if you can rely on a less variable format.
