Ah, no types, no NIL. Every user has to specify how their usage expresses strings, integers, booleans, etc. Maybe start from one of the already existing standards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-expression#Standardizati

Take a look at "invisible" XML, https://invisiblexml.org/ , where they try to omit tags that can be inferred by a grammar.

Consider submitting the source code GitHub repo instead of some running service. In the repo, have example exported data that are used as input and generated output.

As someone who ran their own OpenID server for a couple of identities but has not touched this stuff for years, I have to ask: Is there anything today that I can run (self-host) for a similar result?

But it's the limitations of the "typical text editing use cases" that will bite you in the end. You get the illusion that you are using Vim and at some point you are rudely reminded that no, you are using something like it, b

> The keybindings are really the unique selling point of Vim, and you can get them anywhere. I beg to differ. The whole Vim is the selling point of Vim and that includes a fully functional Ex mode (command line).

Wow, that brings back memories... Back in the '90s I had made an X Input Method that used vim -- essentially forked a gvim process on a temporary file and read the file upon termination. It was a nice learning experience, but not very

Graphviz is from earlier than that -- mid to late '80s, I'd say. The first paper appeared in Software Practice and Experience in 1988.

The fix in zlib 1.2.13 only appeared two days ago. I am not sure how much earlier the vulnerability was publicly disclosed. Given the extent of use of zlib, this will result in a large number of updates of various pieces of software in many

This computes a single hash based on the contents of all files. I suppose it's appropriate for languages/build systems that do not have file-level compilation. Otherwise, it would be more efficient to keep hashes per file and re-b

On the first Unix system I used, 40 years ago, you had to had at least 3 characters (letters). I used consonants from my last name, as I had used in arcade games before. And I've been using the same trigram ever since.

Nice idea, but... This checks only 4 rules, not even correct. It's also implemented in Go, which is really unsuitable for a program with such a goal.

(GNU) Make by default uses the file change timestamp to trigger actions. But this is definitely not the only way, and you can code your Makefile so that rebuilds happen when a file's checksum changes. IIRC, the GNU Make Book has the
