    Maybe it's been stated already by someone else here but I really hope that CO2 pricing on the major Cloud platforms will help with this. It boils down to resources used (like energ…

    1. Is there a name/"standard" for the format gron is transforming json into? 2. Thesis: jq is cumbersome when used on a json input of serious size/complexity because upfront knowle…

    - A little off-tangent maybe, but are there other professions where this kind of once important but today less important (as some claim) knowledge exists? Is this kind of "knowledg…

    I agree on the first 3... and most probably that's why I very strongly disagree on the last part. The way the languages "match" the environment in the first 3 examples is almost re…

    Thinking about "the stack", runtimes , development processes and the root-causes involved here i think, the best thing that could happen to "the industry" is some event preventing …

    Okay, pure anecdotal but: exactly the same "complaint" including exactly the same advice (minus the "web" ) could be found some 20 years ago. Not only it seems the field is not "st…

    I don't know if you used the technique on your own post but I find my self strongly agreeing with it ;) Every technique, every tool, every idea can used for "good" and "bad". A pro…

    Aha! The natural English grammar pointer is a nice one... sure enough I now! remember the "natural language syntax" idea ;) I'm happy too, no doubt... I guess, given how long it al…

    Thanks for the insights! I did not mean to criticize servo or rust in any way... Any serious and non-tiny project will have areas like those you pointed out. I just think servo (an…

    Servo is using zero-copy parallel parsing of html, css and parallel rendering, right? Is it trying to reduce in-going data duplication? Any insiders (actually understanding this qu…
