Whether someone owns the land by property right or "owns" "common grounds" by administrative right, the result seems to be the same: Oppression of those, who don't. And this is why a strong opposition is important.

I would call it Capitalism without opposition from the Left.

That's pretty cool and innovative! I didn't know that (though, I remember hearing about FrexxEd). I was a GoldED guy ;-)

LOL, this must be the coolest project on a computer, I have come across, so far! I mean, how could you even come up with such a crazy idea? Nerds... :-)

This is very cool. Too bad I don't have a need for it, currently.

XPath beyond 1.0 can do the same things, that XPath 1.0 could do. You still can do your nifty one-liners. But it can do so much more now! Especially since it is a subset of XQuery now, and that's where things become very interesting.

Very good comment. I wholeheartedly agree. Also, there is a whole world outside of software development: The world, that uses this software. And that world produces documents, that need to be managed. And those, who manage them, are users,

I don't know what XPath 3.1 implementation you use, but the two major implementations, I have at hand, SaxonEE and BaseX, both do not understand your code. You write: for-each(normalize-unicode(upper-case(json-doc('x.json&#x27

> XPath/XSLT 2+ also have only a single implementation As far as XPath goes, that's wrong: 1. Saxon (the one you talk about) 2. BaseX (an XQuery 3.1 processor) 3. Xidel (implements many XQuery 3.1 features) 4. eXistdb 5. fonto-

An Electron alternative, that is much smaller in size. Who does not want that? Here is the chance! Only 53 hours left to go and only about CAD5000-CAD6000 achieved. Yes, I payed my share. But I got no bitcoins, so... ;-)

Thanks a lot! I didn't know this existed! And luckily, not just in the US. Sadly, they don't offer something like this for Lasers, as it seems.

Absolutely! No better way to consume other's code than going through it on a printout! This was the very reason I looked out for a modern dot-matrix printer, last year, only to find, that they have gotten pretty expensive (at least whe

Interesting! I always thought, it would be just logical, that at the center of (at least) a spiral galaxy a black hole must reside, since it looks just like water draining down into the kitchen sink. But for science, obviously, obvious is n

He says, that one of the domains he already sold, was "corp.com". A few comments above we can read, that it was up for auction, starting at 1.7million and Microsoft bought it in the last few weeks.

Whatever fills web.archive.org is good! Though, it would be nice if someone invented technology, that can erase all the 404 pages and redirects, that are archived, as well, as soon the page goes offline. Maybe a job for AI?
