I am surprised no one spotted the obvious solution: perl -e '$_=24;print+(y///c,$m=$_)&&$_*3/4 .$/'

Wonderful. I don’t particularly care if it is or is not a valid test. I like the “wrong” renderings better. Some are hilarious, some … inspired.

Of late I have grown fond of ... brace yourself ... RDF in turtle format for config files. Supports comments, multiline literals, built-in support for references, and rich typing v…

UGN -- unusable game notation. That has a ring to it. UGN was designed with SPARK and AWS S3 pbzip2-aware threading JSON readers in mind. For an analysis of a year's worth of liche…

:-) You visited the site so props for that. But I find it odd you call the soup of braces, colons, and quotes a complete mess. That's JSON. As in industry standard everyone-uses-it…

Well... it's actually more parseable. Human readability is not the primary goal of BGN. It's precise capture of information esp. things ending up in PGN comments like %eval and %cl…

Game in BGN ( https://moschetti.org/rants/bgnchess.html ) {"moves":[{"p":"P","f":"d2","t":"d4"},{"p":"n","f":"g8","t":"f6"},{"p":"P","f":"c2","t":"c4"},{"p":"p","f":"e7","t":"e6"},…

Agreed. Multi-multi billion. It is a fundamental change in the global energy dynamic -- including the fact that D-T reactors are still use heat exchange which means heat is also a …

Very good.

Exactly; see pollinators comment above. Although as tech progresses... perhaps we can make black plants as attractive to genetically modified pollinators. Do I sense a slippery slo…

A fascinating piece that combines technology, precision in micromanufacturing, design aesthetics, economics, politics, and history -- centered on the now all-too-forgettable wristw…

Adding to the chorus of woes, my legal first name is Paul and middle starts with A and often the ticket comes out as "Paula". I have had at least two heated encounters with gate at…

Agreed! Unexpected and made my morning.

It does; I got this running easily because fortunately I have current postgres and psycopg2 installed so no tangential problems to interfere with the main event. So clearly the exa…

Is there a "hello world" example available that is a highly simplified version of https://qrlew.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/getting_sta... ? Just 2 tables, 2 fields apiece, …

Outstanding link; thanks for sharing.

Fascinating. Well done! There is a certain eerieness to seeing this actually work. Although Borges lived to see computers becoming mainstream, I am sure he never imagined his artis…

Like many uses of AI, very good as a "seed" especially if it comes up with nuggets like grouping on a range instead of a single value. But as with almost any database, devil is in …

sqlite is, well, everywhere . It's a little shy on high-fidelity types, though, esp no dates and penny-precise numbers. And carrying rich shapes in JSON doesn't really help because…

Retested on OS X 13.2 for both 15.5.3 and 16.1; bug discovered thanks to 16! Fixed and new version pushed.

With BSON I am guaranteed that, for example, in Java, when I do `Document d = BSON.fromBytes()`, then `BigDecimal amount = d.getDecimal128('amount')` is non-lossy. `amount` is type…

Considering a random brew install bumped my postgres to 14.10.1 and I didn't even notice until 45 mins ago, maybe I should.

JSON[B] does work perfectly fine with decimal and float inside postgres and pgsql , e.g. select (data->>'amount')::numeric. The issue is moving that data in and out of postgres (or…

Excellent article that shows how to determine the veracity of the ransomware claims.
