With Extractors [1] (currently at Stage 1), you could define something like this to work: const Integer = { [Symbol.customMatcher]: (value) => [Number.parseInt(value)] } const Inte…

I am left wondering how far down one must go to find row level security.

Implementing something like an "id" locale is a great idea. Just don't call it that; it's the locale code for Indonesian. Using a word that's longer than three characters like "ide…

Young's AAA, UK early 00s. They never brought it back. Ye olde sigh.

When farming tulips, at least you could get pretty flowers from them.

In JavaScript, use https://www.npmjs.com/package/yaml for this: import assert from 'assert' import { parseDocument } from 'yaml' const flowDoc = parseDocument(`[1,2,3]`) flowDoc.ad…

I don't understand why US healthcare providers are allowed to charge different customers a different price for the same service or good. As this is clearly being systematically abu…

I've seen 25:00 and even 26:00 being used as times, in Japan.

I wrote a fully spec-compliant YAML library.

This was fixed in YAML 1.2, which was released in 2009. Don't blame the spec, blame the applications that use ancient libraries.

To clarify/correct this a bit, Webpack is not funded by the OpenJS Foundation. Yes, it is an OpenJS project, but the foundation does not provide financial support for open-source d…

The Objective-C format strings in the URL would imply that the hash is sent as a path parameter.

The whole model of needing to own your own transportation devices is flawed. 9/10 times, I'm moving from one location with many other people in it to another location with many oth…

> But in the world we live in, YAML parsers don't have security features like this. I'm the author of the "yaml" npm package, and would be interested to hear more precisely what se…

Do note that in addition to block collections, YAML also supports the flow collections of JSON, which are not whitespace sensitive. In fact, YAML 1.2 is a superset of JSON, and you…

To be clear, both of those issues are just with YAML 1.1. The core schema of YAML 1.2 dropped parsing "no" as true, or (as you mentioned) colon-separated numbers as sexagesimal int…

The current Finnish solution for this problem is to use one of the two mobile payment services that allow person-to-person payments using a phone number as the identifier: https://…

I've put together a Chrome extension that does the same thing, but it requires no permissions and works on all other similar sites as well: Kill-Sticky adds a keyboard shortcut (Al…

Over the past few months, I've built up a somewhat masochistic relationship with YAML, as I've been writing my own JS library for it [1]. Yes, the spec is more complicated than it …

I wrote a small library [1] for localization messages using the new Context API; I'm pretty sure that any other base for it would have made its implementation significantly more co…

The timing of this (shutdown on 21 May) made me wonder if it's related to the GDPR coming into effect starting on 25 May.

Not quite. The 25 km/h limit is just for the bike's classification as a "bicycle"; electric bikes that go faster than that just need to get registered and are effectively treated a…
