IRC brings back some memories. I haven't personally used IRC in a few years directly, but I can remember how when I started university, every freshman "had" to login to IRC through SSH and screen :-). That's where the course channels were sitting and you could get help, either if you didn't want to ask face to face, go to school or just needed to ask something. There were other channels too, some where you were invited and had small social groups you chatted with daily.

Nowadays, most of the communication has migrated to Telegram from IRC.

EDIT:
If one was to start using IRC, I guess there isn't a channel or a server where most or some of the people using also Hacker News go?
I always envy the guy who registered the nick "e" on freenode. He must be ancient, one of the first users since NickServ came into being, and I imagine him as this grey-bearded programmer wizard who speaks in x86 assembly. He hangs around in ##C and I've seen him speak occasionally I think.
And yet open source solutions seem way less popular on mobile than their desktop equivalents.

Seems more like a justification for passive acceptance to me.
The case for abolishing private schools
The article repeatedly says things like for some; mild trauma; at least for this group of people who successfully made it to university etc etc.

This feels like another one of those "well, duh" studies. Some people who experience mild traumatic experiences are able to learn and adapt and become better in some way for them. Others suffer, who experience similar, more, or less, traumatic experiences have different outcomes.

> People who do not recover well from a trauma and who develop chronic PTSD may perhaps have general deficits in inhibitory control, or an impaired ability to adapt control mechanisms over time, perhaps in part because of a genetic variation in cortical plasticity, Hulbert and Anderson suggest.

I mean, obviously: there has to be a neural-genetic manifestation.

I guess I just feel like there's a lot of "science news" lately that sums up to things like "dogs have four legs and seem to want to hang around humans".

I wonder, with more and more people going to university and going on to do a PhD, it seems like we're running short on ideas to write papers about.
There’s passion for you.
Not really. If the company buys $100mn in shares or any other market participant buys $100mn in shares the stock price adjustment caused by the interaction between these orders and the order book will be the same. In one case the market will learn later that the share count has been reduced. In the other case no share count reduction will happen.
Just scrub the footbed with water and marseille soap. It always worked for me with the traditional ones made of leather.
A lighter method is to scrub some bicarbonate of soda gently for a couple of minutes, leave for a day and then clean up.
If we ignore syntactic aspects then the success of JSON is due to one fundamental reason. JSON relies on two structural elements [] and {}, which have very clear semantics of sets (collections) and tuples (combinations), respectively. It is simple, general, natural and consistent.

In comparison, XML also provides two structural elements but they do not have such a nice duality and clarity of interpretation. Here is a very typical example which is more than an anti-pattern:

<books>
<book id="1"><title>XML is evil</title></book>
<book id="2"><title>XML considered harmful</title></book>
</books>

Here we see that semantically <books> is a collection while <book> is a tuple (where <title> is an attribute). Yet, they use one and the same structural construct. XML does not enforce the dual semantics of sets and tuples, and therefore XML files are frequently a conceptual mess. The above example is essentially wrong but XML does not care.

From a 35 yo, with a child, background dirt poor parents who has basically been struggling my entire life (to give you a point of view of my comment). Go for the higher paying job.

Something that is secure, and has a smaller chance of everything collapsing on you, is a main requisite. I have similar issues (family to support, more bills than income).

You don't want to be in this position. It's more difficult to claw your way from the bottom than it is to keep afloat.

Unless you are certain that you can find your idea and keep afloat enough to cover everything, I wouldn't risk your current position.

But take this with a bag of salt, but remember my warning - if there is no safety net, you are not the only one to suffer.

Edit.

Is it somethig. You are able to start in your free time (you're lucky to have any, so use it wisely!) If so I'd say keep working on it u til you get some sort of traction.

Second edit : it's what I'm doing. 70+ hours a week to support my family, and what time I can scrape together to work on my side project.
You've got a point. I really like TypeScript but I haven't found a nice way yet to process the results of APIs that return JSON in a type safe manner. I'm surprised there isn't a standard way to do this yet.

Hence you don't have a safety net and can't be an entrepreneur. If you can take the chance of getting rich or becoming homeless, good luck with that. Otherwise, 9-5 jobs are the only option.

It's funny how people often compare JSON and XML, but fail to see that XML/SGML is for document data (like whole web pages) whereas JSON is a clever reuse of JavaScript object literal syntax.

Why do homes in the UK have separate hot and cold taps?
This has got me interested now.

At the equator, on the surface of Earth, solar radiation is about 1kW per square meter. According to this¹ wikipedia article 55-60% of solar energy is lost on its way through the atmosphere.

So would ~2kW / square meter at thermosphere height be enough to make you feel warm-hot despite the heat lost to evaporative cooling from sweating?

Q. I'm designing my first DTD. Should I use elements or attributes to store data?

A. Of course. What else would you use?

Q. What is the usual way to choose between using attributes and children?

[Update from David Carlisle:]

In England, the normal method is to flip a coin in the air and call heads it's attributes, tails it's children.

Unfortunately I'm not sure what to suggest in other countries where you can't guarantee having the Queen's head on one side of every coin.
That's quite an apt metaphor. Except you do it thirty times in order to make sure you're putting them back together correctly.

Don’t view it as an either-or. Figure out the best step now for you, perhaps a higher paying job. But that job can lead to opportunities and you may have more cushion and connections to make a better jump into whatever else you want to do later. Think of it as risk management [1]. Too much stress and you won’t function. Manage risk and manage stress to a level that works best for you. Somewhere past perseverance lies adaptability & flexibility at number six on the life checklist. [2]

You don't even need to have options.

Apple has an Employee Stock Purchase Program, where you can automatically invest some percentage of your salary (I forget what) into Apple stock, which gets purchased on your behalf every few months at a discounted price. It's a pretty nice program and it means anyone who takes advantage of it (which really should be every employee who isn't living paycheck-to-paycheck) will benefit from an increase in the stock price.

IRC was where I learned to program in the late 90's. Both through instruction on channels like #C, and also literally implementing the RFC's - building both bots and servers.

It was a rush building "bot/server" combos like Nickserv... felt like superpowers and you could do all kinds of things through spoofing names and whatnot.

(I mean it was pointless since the only servers I could pair with were other empty ones with one or two people... but still - it was fun!)

I guess at some point my trajectory just.. changed - moving from that world to less heady stuff like Flash and so on... but the nostalgia is strong and I feel very lucky to have gotten my start in tech that way.
I like slack quite a bit, but it's not designed to be a replacement for general use case of IRC - it focuses on specific use cases and can be manhandled into other use cases with a lot of pain towards the users.

matrix.org/riot.im seems like a more sensible alternative to IRC - but their systems are overloaded and slow - multi second latency is the norm.
XHTML is still alive as the section 13 "The XML syntax" in the "HTML Living Standard" shows us. Moreover XML comes with a host of useful technologies : schemas, XSLT, XQuery and namespaces. It is quite complex compared to JSON but more powerful when you consider the whole ecosystem. In the end, it depends on the need we have. Quick, small, simple XML is possible and easy.
XML without schema are a mess.

XML with schema and validtion can be a joy to use compared to the untyped JSON world, but it's the lack of having to specify type which helps JSON remain popular.

Given a choice between strong or weak typing and weakly typed or un-typed systems will prevail in popularity.

Looking at javascript itself and the type coercion rules it is easy to dismiss it as unworkable mess which leads to expensive bugs in production, but in the real world the ability to mostly ignore types lets people get things done in a more hackish / amatuer way which eases the learning curve and helps popularity.
I think parent's point was that with JSON you are, in most langages, a JSON.parse(payload) away from a message protocol.

I am interfacing our startup's services with legacy (insurers) systems. We don't use the same programming langage. The docs are missing. Yet, we somehow manage to set up a functional API with minimal pain using JSON.

When I compare that, to the amount of documentation a SOAP service requires (for another partner), I find JSON much more usable
Yep. I'm reasonably new to software development, and I've always found JSON is simple yet effective. Less so for XML. It has its place, but I think less so for a simple and reliable data interchange format.
My friend came up with an idea and we made this chrome extension (our first) which can help to convert any text in the task.

Check here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoYb1ol_Sp0

Please give it a try and let me know if you want to integrate other task management tool like clickup or asana etc
Well designed "box-like" services and products allow people to save energy and time by not thinking too much. Brain takes a large portion of energy our body needs, so preferring these kinds of products is akin to preferring a motorcycle instead of a bicycle. It all comes down to all organisms propensity to not waste energy whenever possible.
That may be because you don't need to keep track of how many commas are there, you can just throw them in wherever you need one.

Yet parentheses must always come in pairs, you need a pair for every term in the program (brackets are only needed for full statements), and they tend to pile down at the end of complex functions and data structures.
control what apps can have access to with smartphones

But the Play store doesn't do that. It just documents what permissions are sought by the app, not whether this privileges are appropriate... hence flashlight apps seeking Contacts and Location.
Just like there is always a group of people turning every programming language into Java there are also people turning JSON into XML: http://json-schema.org http://www.jsoniq.org http://goessner.net/articles/jsont/ https://json-ld.org
Have you never regretted decisions made?
This [0] was previously on HN, and it changed my attitude towards alcohol consumption into one much closer to abstinence.

In the past I've used Cysteine and Thiamine supplements for effective hangover prevention [1]. But after learning the same acetaldehyde largely responsible for the hangover effects is carcinogenic. Having had experienced firsthand the effectiveness of Cysteine targeting the acetaldehyde in my head, it became very clear consuming this poison, ethanol, should be avoided in general.

Yes but in XML we view things as trees, not sets, tuples, or the likes. If you consider stuff as trees, there is not anti-pattern and the example is not wrong, it is correct. It is easy. Maybe we can be a little bit dissatisfied with the choice of attributes vs elements. Of course JSON and its small spec is easier than XML and its bunch of complex recommendations.
I'm a bit surprised that no attempt was mentioned to determine which direction its coming from?

A beam, 16 miles wide.. of course its trite, but could be exhaust from starships decelerating into the solar system, or residue from a solar flare perhaps?

I would imagine it's because that creates a perverse incentive, where the government has to encourage the bad activity in order to ensure it gets sufficient revenue.

This isn't an argument against taxing pollution of course, but it is an argument against removing taxes on "productive behavior" in favor of taxes on bad behavior. Taxing pollution (or other bad behavior) should be done with the hope that this revenue falls to zero over time, and therefore it should exist primarily to discourage the behavior rather than to act as a significant revenue stream for the government.

"JSON’s dominance is surprising when you consider that as recently as 2005 the web world was salivating over the potential of “Asynchronous JavaScript and XML” and not “Asynchronous JavaScript and JSON.”"

"As recently as 2005," heh. In the frontend world, you might as well say "as recently as the Paleolithic age."
Yes, you can definitely connect manually through telnet (I did it back in the old days). The only problem is it will not stay connected too much, because you should also reply to server's PINGs at regular time intervals otherwise you'll get disconnected.
It's exactly as good as it needs to be. Trying to 'improve' JSON will turn it into xml again.
And the IRC network I help run must have turned 15 by now.

It’s not filled to the brim with thousands and thousands of users. It’s not monetizable.

But instead we have a nice, small community where we can hang out, be ourselves and do whatever we like without having to adhere some other company’s “community standards”.

It’s how I like the internet to be, and I don’t care one bit if it’s old-fashioned.
Could be the earning season (the times of the year where every company publishes their financial statements).
Maybe not anymore, but good shoes used to last a lifetime given proper maintenance and access to a skilled cobbler.
I was tempted to try Medium and even made an account, but more and more I value hosting and controlling my own content. So many popular blogging platforms have come and gone, if I jumped on every bandwagon over the years I'd have gone through a ton of painful data exports/imports/restyling/maintenance/etc. Hosting my own bypasses all that.

However, there can still be a benefit in certain audiences. Medium isn't that thing for me, but for example I sometimes repost my content on another website's blog section - this gets more niche views and most importantly feedback from a group of people relevant to the topic. I always make sure to check that this is actually allowed and mention that this content is reposted for the sake of transparency.

Another good starting point is #xkcd. it is a large channel with a lot of tech-ish and math-y people.

EDIT: Note that channel discovery on IRC is largely a word-of-mouth thing so don't be shy to ask people for channel recommendations on irc. Most programming language have a dedicated channel, e.g. #D or #python or whatnot.

JSON does have Schemas and Validation (JSON-LD and RDF I believe are the relevant standards here), which are backwards compatible with parsers that don't support it (though the number of parsers that do is sadly rather low).

In principle you still get schema and validation.

Sure. However simplicity is quite important when you choose IRC as company chat solution and you want not only your geeky devs to join but also not–so–geeky people like the guy from marketing and the friendly folks from the front–desk.
I suppose someone could argue that you're always 'throttled', by network congestion if nothing else, and all they're doing is changing the throttle.
Survey Explores Why People Switch Mobile Operating Systems
Tokyo, 1~2LDK (~60m2) range.

I moved about 6 times for various reason, including pure curiosity. Everytime I had the issue.

Now, the vendor might not explicit the restrictions. Sometimes we talked for 10~20 min, I ask for the full binder of offers to look for myself and am told some of them won’t be available.

Or some of the agency people woud pre-filter the offer they hand over, and when you ask to see some they removed they’ll explain those “were burned by previous foreign renters” (that’s the canned response)

Also your friends and co-worker might be part of other demographics where they are exempted. For instance single white women in their 20s will get a pass on basically most conditions (except revenue of course).

Also working in a super top tier national company (i.e NEC, NTT, Sony, softbank etc.) will open a lot of doors. You are asked upfront about your employment so you won’t hit further roadblocks at this point.
Typing (enforcing constraints) is an important aspect. But even without typing XML has one fundamental flaw. You are not able to (correctly) represent tuples with attributes which are sets. In XML, tuple attributes are properties, for example:

<book id="1" title="XML"> -- object or object

Now let us assume that I want to have a list of authors as a property:

<book id="1" title="XML" authors=["Me", "My Friend"]> -- NOT SUPPORTED

Therefore, we use a workaround (a crime actually):

<book id="1" title="XML">
<author>Me</author>
<author>My friend</author>
</book>

Now a book is a collection where authors are members (IS-IN relationship). This is not what we wanted. Our goal was to have an attribute "authors" which is a collection.
What shared contracts are there for JSON? The only one I know of is OpenAPI/Swagger, and that's already complicated. Wireshark is used because sometimes we don't have the source code for software we use. The only way to debug is to see what's on the wire.
