we've all learned about things, not understood them, and thought "wow, these people must be idiots. why would they have made this complicated thing? makes no sense whatsoever. I ca…

Very cool! I recently wrote an XSLT 2 transpiler for js ( https://github.com/egh/xjslt ) - it's nice to see some options out there! Writing the xpath engine is probably the hard pa…

I developed xjslt, an XSLT 2.0 ( https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/ ) compiler for JavaScript. XSLT is still the best way to transform XML content into other XML or HTML content, and th…

Incoherent argument. Non-profits pay sales taxes, income taxes for employee salaries, and, in many cases, property taxes. The only thing they aren't ever paying taxes on is profits…

Bicycles are not a physics 101 problem. In practice this just doesn't happen. See the links I provided. You can also read more about this in the "Bicycling Science" book.

It's my firm opinion, and that of many people who've looked at it, that flipping over the bars is caused by the rider not bracing themselves as they use the very powerful front bra…

lol. I've been developing code with emacs for 25 years and I'm fine with this and would be annoyed if I needed to figure out how to install every language server for every language…

Have you seen a car? Have you seen a parklet? If you had, you would understand perfectly well.

Let your conscience guide you, but in my opinion you should look to the union to see what they are asking you to do. A boycott of a struck company is not necessarily what the union…

sure > UK regulators also fast-tracked approvals for drone testing, which made the country an ideal testbed for drone flights and paved the way for Amazon to gain regulatory approv…

Automation can't deliver packages either, lol

The great contempt that computer people have for the skills that every human brings to the jobs that the do is always on display here. We haven't automated driving; we haven't auto…

This is a great comment because while it's completely wrong empirically, it also completely misses the point of the good question about free silver. Like the question of what was t…

Nice. We finally found the guy who believes this fairy tale!

You spent more than 3 person-years migrating twenty services from one container orchestration system to another and you think it was worth it? Not sure that seems worth it to me...…
