In the Bavarian dialect, you can't say "I love you" without switching out to proper German. We do have at least two words for peeing, though.
Dude, that just means you have a really good thing going.

The way I see it, it is easier to get your hands on someones iCloud credentials than on an unlocked physical device. So iphone without 2FA is less secure than android. E.g. if I wanted to spy on my partner I'd prefer she had an iphone.
Other replies seem to suggest that China is amazingly good at filtering out dissidents in their visa application process...

Actually it’s just that if you want to be a foreign journalist and live in China, you need to apply for a special Journalist visa. The process of application for those is much more difficult than other types of visa.

Which makes it very easy to select which media to approve.

I agree that on the whole, nothing matters. But in a felt sense, my life matters more when I have other people to care for and interact with or some goal that needs to be reached. Reflecting on my inevitable end gives a sense of urgency and an appreciation of the people around me.
Not sure favors can really save someone in time of need. They tend to help when one's trajectory is up, not down. Like banks love to loan to people who don't need to borrow.
You could allow processes that have ptrace rights on each other to run simultaneously which would cover most issues, but you’d still run into trouble with JavaScript engines running untrusted code.
Met my fiancée over IRC many years ago and we're both using it as our main social communication with others online.

It's an enclave untouched by much of the current toxicity of social media. It requires you to make friends with others based on your words and not content filtering algorithms. You are exposed to other people with other ideas since it isn't filtered. All with a reasonably high lowest level since the lack of bells and whistles turn a lot of people away from it.
I had these thoughts before...but realized there is no point optimizing life for the last six months.
It is the approximate translation in some common Austronesian languages e.g. various Philippine dialects. It is sort of like saying the other person is your most prized possession.

The literal translation of "I love you" denotes something closer to "desire" in English.

This is a very bizarre story.

Not everyone has the inclination to develop connections, nor should they.

Not everyone is motivated by more "practical" careers.

The truth is if she had a chance to repeat her life, she'd probably still choose to pursue her literary dreams.

She made the decision multiple times in her life to focus on other things besides connections or going for some "practical" career. She knew there would be different opportunities/costs regardless of the direction she chose.

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to suddenly feel bitter regret about this. That's just hypocritical.
You might not but believe me that is what you say in France. If you want to get laid there I suggest you jettison your affinity for faux amis (in both senses of the phrase).

I was always confused as a kid because the English word "love" is the same translation for various Greek words like ἔρως, ἀγάπη, and φιλία which used to give me conniptions when doing translations in school.

Likewise Sanskrit and modern Hindi make distinctions impossible to differentiate in English (and not just in love -- I speak English with my relatives in India except for words for how people are related to each other, something English doesn't seem to care about at all, as it only has a tiny number of pretty uninformative words like cousin, brother, aunt and so forth. Oh yeah and food words, but that's not English's fault).

By and large English is an OK language, with a moderate-sized vocabulary handily full of loan words, but even though it's the language I've been speaking longest, as I get older I find it less and less expressive. My wife and I used a mélange of three different languages different ones had different ways of expressing certain things we wanted to say to each other.
Changing fieldName is not easy in any data format.

Schema has nothing to do with it. If your schema change, you are still going to to break existing client somewhere. It's not like schema can magically tell which field is renamed.

Schema also doesn't help different permutation of how a field is spelled. Because, in web world, nobody is going to use your schema. So you just end up with 5 schemas, each with different way to write "zipCode".

And if everyone can agree to use your schema, then they can agree to write "zipCode" the same way.
Yep. It's like buying a box of cookies that says you agree to not compare the taste of these cookies with the tastes of other cookies.
Avro json schemas and jackson json annotation for POJOS makes json object schemas easy to implement. Versioned object repos make great shared schemas and are easier to manage than xsds. (imo)
It's funny how people often compare JSON and XML, but don't mention one huge difference: XML is "more powerful" because it supports attributes on nodes, while JSON doesn't. So if you want to encode data structure with metadata on nodes (like objects with a type), you'll have to introduce a non-standard workaround.

Of course that's often not an issue, but I've run into it in the past. :)

You’ve missed my point entirely. A developer doesn’t work in a vacuum. His/her job is more than just to “write code.” Those other aspects require communication. Heck, writing code does too.

I read it as a commentary on corruption, contacts and money governing access to things that should otherwise be accessible. People are so bogged down in trying to survive the system, often for the sake of dependents, that they don't have the time to change it.

India is going to surpass China in the next century.

Just curious, but this statement surprised me.

Surpass in what ways? GDP? Per capita income? Standard of living? Population? Level of honesty? Level of corruption? Level of transparency?

Any studies you can recommend that reach these conclusions?
I use XSD a lot for XML validation in .net world and better intellisense when writing XML by hand. I was exploring the json world but I could not find a json schema technology that would be as expressive and the tooling around it is much inferior IME.

I feel like the technology around schemas (json, xml or anything else) is underrated and not developed enough. And if I wanted to support both json and xml it would be such a pain to maintain, would be nice to have a tool that could translate xml schema to json schema and back.

I had the same reflection, but I think it’s still useful for framing the situation. Don’t think too hard, think Hollywood movie situation.
I have been thinking about making such a laptop as well. Some random notes:

1. IMHO, most software is crap that is only tested on i7's with 16GB of RAM. It will likely be slow on everything that has lower specs.

2. ARM =/= RISC V. ARM is a company (which has its own family of ISA's), RISC V is an open ISA. I think ARM is more mature. Anyway, you'd probably want a relatively high-end ARM processor (see point 1).

3. Perhaps a good point to start is the raspberry pi. There are plenty of tutorials on building an OS on it. This also helps you to understand the GPU.

4. One problem is that repositories for package managers focus on x86 (or x86_64) binaries. The ARM repos contain less binaries, so your favorite software may not be in there.

5. It seems that there are not many 64-bit OSes for ARM. I have tried installing Arch Linux on a chromebook and it works pretty well. Potential problem: it's hard to find the right drivers, if they even exist.

6. You probably need a degree in electrical engineering to design a laptop motherboard. I don't know about manufacturing it (or rather: getting someone to manufacture it for you), but it's probably nontrivial.

7. Bringing up Linux on a new motherboard is hard (from what I heard - I have never attempted something similar).
If I do a search and replace of China with India, this article would still be real and same.
My brother actually worked in an Amazon warehouse for awhile and indeed it sounds like a dreadful work environment (although I am comparatively spoiled in software engineering and my brother hasn’t actually worked in similar jobs in warehouses for other companies, so it’s hard to judge from his experience alone if it’s an Amazon thing or just these kinds of jobs in general).

However (and I’m bracing for impact here), I don’t quite understand why everyone hates on Amazon that much for this. They don’t force anyone to work there. Indeed my brother found a new job after two years. It’s a bit like getting mad at San Francisco landlords for charging so much: you can get mad at them, but it’s really our fault for agreeing to pay. Or people getting mad at how much athletes get paid. They get paid a lot because we agree we pay to watch them. Amazon have shit working conditions because people agree to work there for what they pay. All of these things are literally just trades. If we don’t like it, don’t trade with them.
I thought the article was about how even small amounts of alcohol were bad for the health but there's just a line about it and no link to the study. The rest is about heavy drinkers, which seems like nothing new.
So, when do we get a typescript for JSON? You mean a schema like XML has?

It looks like typesafe programming languages are on the rise, yet, when it comes to the format used for data exchange we go from typesafe to unstructured. I find that odd.

It’s a great thing that JSON adequate.

It’s a great pity that JSON isn't much better.

It would be great if JSON had comments, more thorough typing and determinism so that data structures could be compared. Apart from that it’s streets ahead of XML.
Sorry but I’m pretty sure drinking 1 glass of beer every day is not going to cause a major increase in road injuries or self harm. That just doesn’t make sense.
If you were out there during the day you probably warm up a bit though right? with very little in the way of air to draw heat away.
My gf was stalked by an ex using this type of crap. Had to wipe her phone and change her cloud credentails. Still worry my personal photos are now floating around on the web.
Yeah I can relate to all this.. I need warm up time, and that includes updating social media and HN (like now), which I regret later. I'm one of those that have a daughter and feel they aren't productive at all and lack of free time to do cool, deep projects.

It also depends on what standards of productivity you aim for, and who you compare with. Many people say I do lots of stuff when comparing to themselves, and I feel unproductive 'cause I'm comparing to myself 5 years ago, working 14 hours/day.

I should try to get into The Flow faster (maybe leaving notes of what to do next when finishing a task? --and removing twitter and similar..)

Anyway, finding a good balance between family and work time is extremely difficult for me, one of my biggest endeavors, even after 3 years of parenthood.
Companies can also issue debt to pay dividends. The thing you are discussing is not about buybacks vs dividends (is about returning capital to shareholders by either of these mechanism vs not doing so).

> Apple had $0 long term debt in 2013. At the end of June 2018 they held $97B!!!

They also have much more than that in cash (and cash-equivalents). If you want to make a point about companies giving to shareholders money that they don’t really have Apple or Microsoft are not the best examples.
It’s better at extracting value for the shareholders. Not that China is socialist, it looks dead set on combining the worst of capitalism and the worst of central planning.
But that does also not deal with the actual problem, it's just outsourcing parenting due to both parents having to work so much.

Imho that's the actual problem, solve that and you will free up more times for parents so the question of "What to do with the kids?" doesn't even come up in the first place.
You’re comparing SOAP, a message protocol, with JSON, a data format. SOAP is so much more, it specifies how objects are defined, how they should be serialized and delivered to a server (WSDL). Note that JSON doesn’t have anything like this that has seriously taken off. There’s a few attempts, but they aren’t in great use or have tooling support. So as a result everyone working with JSON implements their own de-/serializer, resulting in all sorts of errors.

SOAP on the other hand takes care of this and even has a formalized date type and various number types.

Your complaint is about two vendors creating incompatible inplementations/extensions. I’ve run into this as well and causes a lot of issues with compliant implementations that cannot work together. I think this has been a big reason why eventually SOAP will die.

I have yet to have a pair of shoes that can take continuous wear from me for more than a couple of seasons. Yes, I can get a ton more wear from shoes if I do not wear them every single hour of every day. However, I don't care to deal with the storage to rotate what shoe I wear day to day.

That said, now that I bike every day to work, my biking shoes get worn pretty much every morning and last for some obvious reasons. This leaves my day to day shoe much less stress than what they used to get, such that my crappy shoes that I only wear in the office have lasted a few seasons at this point.

But I have come to view the idea of a shoe that can last years as a myth that just isn't worth chasing. Back when I walked upwards of 5 miles a day at a minimum, I was happy to get 2 season's wear of my shoes. And that was splurging for some rather expensive shoes.

Is a (never) linguist, I think the edge case successes demonstrate how far we really have to go in ML generally. Driving is an entirely engineered phenomenon. Down to the species level of things that might run out in front of it, every atmospheric perturbation, we can define every event that's going to affect a car, and they have been designed over more than 100 years to deal with them.

Medical imaging: another area where highly trained humans have thought rigorously (for about the same amount of time) about what this all means.

What ML is lacking is the data and labels a baby bootstraps from into the "common world". How many ML models have been training on the taste of breast milk, smell of mother, the smell of dirt, the upward view of everything (think about how much time babies, since the stone age, have spent laid on their backs, looking up.

These things have to be segregated in a fairly unsupervised way using little more than reflexes (cry, suck, fencer, grasp, etc) for a while: smell of mom sometimes comes with warm milk, but not always. Associating this warm body with the smell, not just food. Sound of mom doesn't always come with smell of mom.
I’ll pass on any serialization format that is itself vulnerable to RCE.
If a JSON parser ignores the JSON spec, is it the spec that went too far in the other direction? Or is that parser just badly-written? (Or misguidedly lenient?)

You could say the same for an XML parser that allows a naked
'&' between tags, or continues parsing a document that omits a closing tag somewhere.

Your complaint is probably still valid, but I'd say it's better directed at the culture than the specs.

Okay, so you're not talking about the psychology that makes The Container Store profitable then... But something ambiguously broader.

I'm not a psychologist -- this may be so broad is to be a philosophy question instead -- but humans like simplification and stories.

Some of that may be thriftiness with biologically-expensive brainpower, and some of it may be tied to our core mechanisms for understanding the world with cause and effect.

Whoa, thanks for linking that. It's really interesting seeing all this talk about sandbox escapes.

This is a particularly interesting quote:

> One huge practical advantage to JSON over XML in the web browser is that you can load JavaScript from any site, while you’re restricted in which sites you can load XML from. I have no idea why browsers insist on limiting where you can load non-executable XML from, when they don’t bother to limit where you can load executable JavaScript from, but there you go: that’s how it is, and there’s nothing anybody can do about it. JSON nicely works around that limitation, instead of holding its breath and waiting until the world comes around to being fair. Surely you can appreciate that practical advantage.
> would be nice to have a tool that could translate xml schema to json schema and back.

Hmm, after a quick search I found a bunch of json-to-xml and xml-to-json converters,
including libraries. E.g. JSON-Java library [0]. May be same things exist for .Net. Is this what you meant?

I think it depends a lot on how old you are.

My parents have 3 spare rooms, because my siblings and I have moved out and they haven't downsized to a smaller house.

But I wouldn't expect a young family to have a spare room. When I was younger and we needed a spare room, I was always relegated to the couch to make room for guests.
The counterpoint here is that a lot of the success of JSON was in presenting an alternative to the then-state-of-the-art, which was basically "here's a small mountain of spec documents explaining how you need at least fifty megabytes of metadata spread out over forty-three separate namespaces' worth of elements to safely send a single string key to someone else with XML".

And at the time people insisted JSON could never replace that, because JSON was so underspecified and unsafe. You could maybe get away with it for a couple requests to your puny baby child's "Fisher-Price My First Webservice" toy program, but JSON would instantly and completely fall over the instant any real-world problem presented itself.

Yet here we are all those years later, in a world which largely runs on JSON as a data interchange format.

Or, more concisely, as I wrote in 2006 in response to the Dave Winer piece someone else linked in another comment:

And now here are these kids with their startup companies and their weblogs who are getting data exchange and even things that kind of look like APIs out of… JavaScript arrays? The XML guys are sitting up on the mountaintop like the Grinch, with his pile of stolen presents, wondering how Christmas still managed to happen: it came without specs! It came without hype! It came without angle brackets, envelopes or types!
Don't give up. Find a time slot - few hours a week maybe. If you're disciplined and can stick to it you'll accomplish a lot while still working full time.
No, but charges are inverted for particles vs antiparticles.
You can easily create a parser with RCE using just JSON. Just define a simple schema that looks like

{
"type": "ObjectName",
…
}

The only difference between this and e.g. YAML is YAML has specific syntax for declaring the object type whereas with JSON you need to declare it yourself.

Oddly, attributes do little to actually help you here. What mattered was that xml gave you a language that could describe a valid document. Which, for reasons that actually exist, wasn't necessarily a valid xml document.

That said, the effort to write a valid schema was rather high. And it was sold with the other technologies that were in violation of the anti-fragile spirit of the web. That left us with people wanting something different. JSON was born as much for basically being javascript literals minus functions as it was anything else. Most any other explanation is just someone selling you something.

(Now, attributes did offer a technical way to ignore subsets of the attributes that would be hard to do any other way. But they didn't exactly make it easy, and namespaces did not compose nearly as well as people hoped they would.)
