Sad. A great idea ruined by poor business practices.

The GOAT.

I am a little confused. Is this still JSON? Is it “binary“ JSON?

Holy Deep Dive, Batman. This has to be the most mathematically heavy design for creating TUIs ever conceived. The name makes sense. But does it blend ? (Actually useable?)

CLI is an API, so I decided to treat it as such and created Jargon (for Crystal). Define CLI in JSON Schema, get argument parsing, validation, help text, and shell completions for …

Honestly if it were not for my extensive Ruby background that I have now been able to carry over to Crystal, I probably would have dived into Guile. (I have been enjoying Elixir to…

FOR loops? YAML has a merge key The merge key is a clever little trick, but it depends of the special hash key, so lists can’t be merged. Syntax does matter, which is why YAML matt…

So brilliant that we’re all still using ASCII!† † With an occasional UNICODE flourish.

I agree. Separate keys would be better. I wonder if hat word processors would have used a separate Enter (or Go!) for?

I hope there are no major problems to commercialization. This will be huge!

IDK. They all look a little atrocious to me. But readability has a lot to do with what you are used to. The only exception might be FORTH. A very well written FORTH implementation …

That’s awesome! Now have it mark blocks of text on or off, so it can ignore irrelevant, or worse erroneous material — no need to include it in the context window.

Do we really need a new “code container” type for this? Could modules not serve the purpose by localizing require. e.g. module Foo require “bar” … end So everything bar.rb loads in…

It was almost exactly the same expect in VB you had use some esoteric code to access databases — and they kept changing what was the “proper” way to do it. (I think by the time I q…

Is this a reflection of the economy in general or just Intel’s own troubles? With Apple’s move to Arm and increasing interest in RISCV, the x86 architecture hegemony seems to final…

As long as Let’s Encrypt is still around. I find it hard to believe there is no way to secure without requiring an authority in the middle.

Who cares? What does a certificate tell me other than someone paid for a certificate. And what do certificate buyers gain? The ability for their site to be revoked or expired and t…

GoboLinux has you all beat.

Absolutely correct! Please correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I know, no one has implemented YAML completely according to spec. The tag schema used is supposed to be modifiabl…

Just go open source already. Good grief Hyperion has no idea how to actually make money.

Between this and other changes I worry they are just throwing more and more stuff at the wall to widen their browser moat. Is command and commandfor actually a good idea? I underst…

If you haven’t refactored most of your code more than once, you are doing it wrong.

Trained only on a thousand curated questions? Something doesn’t add up… Oh… they just fined turned an already existing model.
