Maybe one day we will, but first someone had better come up with another economic model that demonstrably supports creation and distribution of new works anything like as effectively as copyright has. There are a few ideas with potential, mostly in specific niches, but no-one has come anywhere close to reaching that goal in the general case yet.

I expressed a position upthread but you didn't reply.
You can split files in Vue too.

A major difference with React is that you can use HTML and CSS (without any third party additions).
I actually use Python a lot more than Javascript. That's why the double quotes and the no trailing comma are always what get me.

Especially since leaving the trailing comma is considered the best practice in every other language.
One thing to remember is that YAML is about 20 years old. It was created when XML was at peak popularity. JSON didn't exist (YAML is a parallel, contemporary effort). Even articulating the problems with XML's approach was an uphill battle. What you would replace it with is also hard. What use cases matter? What is the core model? A simple hierarchy? Typed nodes? A graph? What sort of syntax is needed for it to be usable? These were all questions. Seen in context, we got quite a bit correct. And yes... it has a few embarrassing warts and a few deep problems. Ah well.

A second thing to consider... YAML was created before it was common that tech companies actively contributed to open source development. There are lots of things we could have done differently if we had more than a few hours per week... even a tiny bit of financial support would have helped.

Finally, YAML isn't just a spec, it has multiple implementations. Getting consensus among the excellent contributors is a team effort, and particularly challenging when no one is getting paid for the work. Once you have a few implementations and dependent applications, you're kinda stuck in time.

It was an special pleasure for me to have had the opportunity to work with such amazing collaborators.

We did it gratis. We are so glad that so many have found it useful.
I'm not a Spring fan, but i am surprised to see it this far down in the responses to that comment! There are really only three web frameworks in statically typed languages that have anything like the breadth, depth, and endurance of Rails, and those are .NET, Spring, and Java EE. Crystal? Come on.

> The one good thing about this is it's taught me just how patient and restrained I can be, which is a lot more than I thought, but please, please tell me that this eventually changes?

It might not, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Personally speaking, I've been on both sides of this conversation. A number of years ago, I joined a company and I tried to shake things up with fixes. My initial ideas lacked the context, I didn't understand the constraints, and I certainly trivialized some important aspects of what was going on. Some people were patient with me and focused on explaining the unique context and constraints. Fortunately for me, I took the time to listen to them and I was in a much better position to offer up fixes.

Some of my fixes were good and well received, and others not so much. Typically, I found my ability to create positive change was strongly correlated to me taking the time to ask people questions, heeding their warnings, leveraging their unique insights and giving their contrasting opinions credit.

When I hired a technical lead for my team, the shoe was on the other foot and when he joined. He offered a lot of very good ideas to shake things up and fix things. When he asked for permission to do these things, I made it a point to never say no, but to take the time to explain the context and constraints. His first few months weren't tremendously productive because we subjected him to the pain of the thing he was going to eventually automate. Eventually, I was given the opportunity to let him loose and give him the freedom to do what he thought was important. I'm glad we did, because he ultimately created some really good tools. More importantly, he was able to prove me wrong about some of the problems I thought were unique to us.

I guess what I learned from it was the importance of directing people's energy. As you already know, it requires the patience to continuously engage in conversations to make sure that self-drive isn't wasted. These days, I'm a lot more appreciate of someone joining the team has a strong locus of control.

If you really want him to become part of the team, try distributing the task by encouraging other team members to help him. He'll be a lot more receptive to listening to your unique constraints if it's coming from people who are trying to help him.

Those reasons are exactly why I created mset. It's not as flexible as Yaml but it is dead simple and works for many use cases. It is also very easy to implement in any language and more importantly super simple to learn for end users.

Yes, the US has small claims courts. They are run at the state/county level, so fees and maximum recovery values vary. Fees generally run $30-$100 and max. recovery somewhere around $5k. After winning a case, filing a lien with the sheriff is another $100 or so.
> In contrast, JSON is super intuitive and basically self documenting. The only real quirks are that you need to use double quotes, and objects can't have a trailing comma.

I'd expand the list of quirks... JSON lacks comments (both line-level and block level). Fine for data transport but super super bad for configuration files.
> $1 billion per line
> Table inheritance is a non-starter for the stated use-case. Just don't.

Can you be more specific about why you shouldn't use it like this? I've used it for similar cases and it's seemed to work fine. You have to declare some foreign keys / constraints that you shouldn't really need to, but it's not really any harder than creating the "child" tables from scratch anyway.
Python dicts are a lot closer to JSON than YAML.

The real schism here, IMO, is Programmer Intuitive vs. Natural Language Intuitive.
You need a lesson in common sense. Throwing more of your money at Alphabet is not going to make them a nicer company. You're deluding yourself if you honestly think that. You're in a wildly asymmetric relationship with a multi-billion dollar international corporation and you think you can win their favor by sucking up to them; it isn't hyperbole to compare this to Stockholm Syndrome.

Teach the general public to use adblockers, mpv/vlc, etc to encourage increasingly desperate responses from Alphabet. Teach people to use youtube-dl to exfiltrate data they care about, to eliminate leverage the corporation has over them. As Alphabet responds with increasing harshness, use that as further justification to get more people on your side. Every time their hand is forced and they screw over content creators even more, they lose that much more control over the situation. This form of accelerationism is a standard modern guerilla warfare tactic with proven effectiveness. This is how you fight them. Not by signing up to give them more money. No matter how much money you give them, you will never be friends with them.

This is a problem with weed as there is a pretty solid underground distribution network. If the price for legal weed stay lower than "legal" weed (because of the tax and all the administrative bs), then criminal orgs will keep making plenty of profit, rendering the bill essentially pointless. I don't want a fancy multi-million dollar weed tasting store, or ponder for hours if a 1985 indica is better with red meet than a 1992 sativa. I just want my ounce and be left in peace.

Also in my (limited) experience, black fins are often used with lots of external devices, threading, processing, memory, etc so there are lots of challenges to consider.

The 013 to 11 issue is pretty obvious to any seasoned programmer. For example C, Ruby, and yes, also Javascript have the same "problem".

Octal 13 is decimal 11.

JSON should actually have the same issue. When I enter { 013: "11" } in the web console I get '{11: "11"}'. And YAML is backwards compatible to JSON.

That's IMO the actual problem of YAML. It could have supported a reasonable subset of JSON and not the whole nine yards.

It's a bit more complex. The EU produces a huge amount of legislation, but you only hear about the most weird/funny/outrageous one.

Most things go through smoothly because they are so technical or orln topics that no one cares. Then once in a while you have this kind which is in some ways a big progress. Look at the education provisions in there. But here's how the EU works: the Commission (civil service) proposes a draft text. The parliament debates and changes it (mostly along national and political party group lines). The council (national governments) debate and change the same.commissiom proposal. Them council and parliament beat themselves over the head (with commission mediation and proposals on how to find common ground) until they find common ground on drafting that everyone can accept.

Note, not one thing that everyone likes, but one that everyone can accept. Despite the bullshit you might read in UK media or the claims of tyrants like Orban who claim they fought (in their xitizens:against' interest, of course) other governments over this or that, it basically never happens that something is decided at EU level that one (or several) countries strongly disagree with. So you get this kind of pieces in each legislative document - with some bites for everyone and lots of things that have as their sole virtue that no one really hates them that much. Often no one even really understands each part in detail
It's similar across the world (see the literally thousands of pages a legislation like Dodd-Frank in the US context can become) - the democratic process is messy; at EU level it's additionally messy because there are 28 national interests at stake and at play.

Wouldn't the "link tax" have a detrimental effect on a site's Pagerank?
Lets say someone writes a blogpost on site X and links to site Y, now site Y wants you to pay them for the privilege of linking to them. The blogger might just decide not to link (or save the hassle and not even ask whether they can link without paying). Over time site Y's incoming links drops as nobody is willing to link to it anymore.

Good luck with SEO under such rules, in fact it would be nice if Google then offered an easy way to filter out all the sites that require paying to link to them.

> I guess you don't realize this, but GitHub is a social site too.

Which is why I say “explicitly”. Github has social as what feels like a bolt-on afterthought because everyone else was doing it and it’s a buzzword.

> And this is the same at GitHub, too. Have you never noticed the "Report Abuse" buttons for PRs, users, comments, etc?

Nope. Never needed to look for one. However, rather more importantly, I have just made a deliberate look for a “report repository” link…

…and found nothing.

> Except you're looking at a reason right here.

Key word being “random”. Twitter has trends, Reddit has its front page, public Facebook posts can and do go viral. GitHub has such a list, but you need to go looking for it — you don’t have random stuff thrown in you face whenever you use it like the other platforms, so there is _much_ less opportunity to train a learning algorithm to automatically filter anything. I’m not sure you could even train such a model now, with perfect data, because that would involve understanding the purpose of a repo rather than sentiment analysis of natural language.

The appropriate people only found out about this repo because the person who made it did so with the internation to be noticed.

And I’m not saying there shouldn’t be or even that there isn’t the capacity to take things down. I’m saying comparing repos to tweets is like comparing apples to grenades — they both “keep the doctor away”, but for the most part, treat them differently.

I think they're talking more along the lines of those online meme editors. Yea i could download the lion king and clip the frame with simba and then pull it into photo shop and then add text and then upload it to imgur. Or I could go one of those online meme editors in click the photo and enter my text and then get a link to the meme I made.

The whole point is to totally lower the bar for anyone to make a passable copy, thus removing all confidence that any screen shot is genuine.
At my job we are moving some resource expensive functions to AWS lambda, for us it is quicker to instantly horizontally scale and address load than to spin up a new instance that could take a minute to get added completely.

Moving everything into lambda doesn't make sense, but for instant horizontal scaling it makes some parts of our app much more responsive and parallel.
Ah, I believe they’re calling that Robotic Process Automation (RPA) now. Why bother to even look for the API docs for that shitty SaaS app? Just train Selenium to do it and feed it inputs, then hire some dude offshore to update the automation whenever some step breaks because they changed it on the other end.

Honestly it’s faster/cheaper than doing proper integrations most of the time, simply because the tools are already well-known to the users so there isn’t a lot of futzing around with unfamiliar tools or APIs.

It turns a technical challenge into a business challenge simply by automating the lowest common denominator through the stupidest possible means, and automating it through a point and click GUI. It’s the final nail in the coffin of the swivel-chair data analyst at most companies, however.

This is already happening widely across fortune 500s today... the bloodbath is being felt by the Indian offshore folks who are losing a ton of basic automation support / development work to these RPA tools (which can be operated by onshore management consultants doing operational design work).

I think this is a problem of trying to serve all use cases at once. I mean, if you're making a data exchange format, do you really need it to be able to execute arbitrary code? Isn't that inviting trouble? It's like building a bank vault and then cutting a large hole in it and putting a plywood door on it - just in case somebody would want to convert it to a restaurant later. Maybe it would be better not to serve that particular use case at all?

All that says is that men are apparently more valuable for making money and says nothing about the inherent value of men. Men may very well be more valuable to businesses precisely because they need to be in order to have any value to society.

The whole women and children first, chivalry, take a bullet for your wife, provide for the family/make a lot of money, draft into military, homeless men not getting access to same welfare as women and children, women have an in group bias towards women and men have a bias towards women as well (Women are wonderful), men getting beat in the street is uncomfortable while a woman getting beat is a major call for action. All of these are value biases towards women and against men.

We see it in concern for breast cancer above all other cancers. In general what is socially acceptable is tied to womens' best interest. Once something becomes a women's issue it begins to get solved.

I agree with the comments here - I don't think the final solution should go into production as it is so complex. And the optimisation for total allocations seems odd.

I think you misunderstood me. I don’t think it’s an improvement over c# (or Kotlin, but I have no experience with Kotlin so I wasn’t commenting on that).

I don’t think dart is great though, it’s just better than the terrible alternatives.

The solution is to not separate them. You're not arguing in good faith when you suggest that the two possible binary outcomes are (a) unrestricted immigration or (b) separating kids from their parents.

Many of the illegal immigrants come to the border to flee violence or crippling poverty. They have to bring their kids. If they had the time or the income or the support system to migrate legally, they would.

With regards to your original point, I fail to see why Americans are not within their rights to protest laws that they feel are unjust.
