1) Yes, if they're both easy to use, pick JSON - for simplicity's sake.

2) A JSON parser is a far smaller and simpler dependency than an XML parser, especially when we're adding XPath to the mix.

3) XML isn't necessarily hard, it's tedious.

4) There's plenty of legacy software out there using all kinds of stuff for config. You don't see a lot of people choosing XML these days. You see YAML or TOML or JSON, even though all of these have issues of their own. JSON happens to be the simplest and most commonly supported.

They most definitely do not remove such apps.

That’s exactly what I did. It took me a long time and various jobs on the side along with serious will power to graduate with a degree in computer science and mechanical engineering.

My first semester, I took pre calculus instead of calculus 1 because my high school didn’t offer anything higher than trig, and growing up in poverty and going through and underfunded school district were the main reasons. My second semester I was in a data structures course and my professor was confused when I asked him to tell me what the sigma symbol was because I had never seen summations before.

I would like to assume people post generally on this forum in good faith, but your comment is incredibly ignorant and out of touch with reality. The wealthy send their kids to preschool. On the other hand, those of us who go through a regular K-12 system in middle America don’t have the proper prerequisites to succeed in college. We aren’t taught about finance, credit, the economy, investing, etc. Math and STEM education in general takes a back seat. Taking loans for college can be pointless unless you’re 100% motivated to learn not just what your college courses offer but the prior knowledge you need to wrap your head around the concepts.
Just use 'literal strings' instead of "basic strings".

TOML has two types of strings, each of which can be single line or multi line [0]. Basic strings allow escape characters, while literal strings do not (so there's no way to represent an apostrophe in a single line literal string). Multi line strings are like Markdown's code blocks:

"""
This is a multi-
line basic string.
C:\\Program Files\\stuff
"""

'''
This is a multi-
line literal string.
C:\Program Files\stuff
'''

I agree with all of your points.

I also think software development has changed from being creative and fun to being competitive and up-tight.

But isn’t that just a function of time? 15 years ago software development, in many places, was “something “those strange guys down at IT” did. There wasn’t any higher level manager anywhere that even knew what to expect semi a development team. They didn’t even understand what it was, except that it was probably important to have.
Today, software is the business itself. Everywhere.
Even banks proclaim, in their strategies, that they are going to be “IT first”.

Software taking a more central role.
Software being better understood.
More people going into software related jobs.

You can have ruined credit without owing any money, and it takes a very long time for it to go away.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19656322
https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/bctflo/i_h...

You can also have ruined credit through no actions of your own, without knowing that you do, until that day you try to rent an apartment or a phone contract or whatever, and everywhere turns you down and you don't know why.

You can also have ruined credit, oddly, while having a large amount of savings at the same time. I don't know about other countries, but in the UK, the credit reference agencies don't keep track of bank deposits (even though they do keep track of bank overdrafts), so you can have say £100,000 in the bank, while being unable to get a £1000 limit credit card or £1000 loan (which you might choose if you wanted to keep the £100k in a tax-efficient account), not even at the same bank.

It's surprisingly easy to have a ruined credit rating through no fault of your own, without knowing, if you aren't obsessive about checking.

For example: When the credit reference agencies (CRAs) hold incorrect information about you. Or accounts that don't exist and which have entirely fictional transactions on them, which of course are never paid because they aren't real and start flagging as "overdue", because some utility leaves accounts that are closed open in the CRA files for years later, and then add bogus transactions years later, which magically disappear when you ask the company if you owe them anything (I'm looking at you BT).

In the UK, if your CRA record address doesn't match a local government address for you, there's quite a severe penalty to the credit score. Most people don't know that, but CRA data often has errors like that, which can be difficult to correct (I'm looking at you Equifax "it will take us 8 weeks to respond to your complaint, and please send us a copy of your passport").

Eventually you may find this out and call each of them individually to make a correction. And then find, each time you correct it, it periodically gets replaced with incorrect data automatically, because some system has an incorrect address database and uses it to automatically "improve" data back to the erroneous version (I'm looking at you Experian).
This is false.

This is from congressional testimony in the past month that hasn't gotten virtually any coverage from the traditional media outlets:

>Hawley pointed out on Tuesday that a user's location is sent to Google hundreds of times a day, even when the phone is not in use. In fact, Hawley said, a user's location is tracked "every four minutes, or 14 times an hour, roughly 340 times during a 24-hour period," even when the phone is not in use.

>DeVries confessed that "location information is absolutely core to making a mobile phone work the way that you want it to work." He said that Google has an "optional service" called Location History that is opt-in and "can collect location over time when people turn that on."

>"But Google collects geolocation data even if Location History is turned off, correct?" Hawley pressed.

>"Yes, senator, it can in order to operate other services—"

Google's privacy head was passing off the location data harvesting as something that is necessary for the phone to function, which is untrue. They are using the devices to surveil on people, which, among other things, allows intelligence agencies to outsource an important task.

Every {x} could be cracked by normal methods if it was simply added as a rule. So let's assume something just barely more sophisticated and we use a nonrepeating function instead of a fixed {x}. For instance, maybe the nth digit of pi means the next n mod 3th digit is random. How would you even begin to crack this? So imagine "thecodeisx". The first digits of pi are 141592653. So we get a noise pattern of: 1, 1, 1, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0. So the code in deciphered format, but with our noise added, could look something like:

tlhpebcokqodengisxf

And keep in mind that is the code before it's enciphered. Even better, the random characters could be not entirely random but rather weighted to try to bring most characters in the message to a roughly similar frequency. So far as I know the primary tool of code cracking is just plain old frequency analysis. Curious if anybody has any proposals on how this would even be possible to crack.
Wouldn't it be simpler if you gradually moved? https://martinfowler.com/bliki/ParallelChange.html

Are you serious. They have detention camps for Muslims as we speak. The well known artist Ai Weiwei was imprisoned for his views. The very article we are talking about is buried history of a massacre committed by the Chinese government on 10000 of their own people.

A surprising number of trackers do not use pinning, so this has a pretty high success rate actually.
I think you're misunderstanding what was said in that testimony. Yes, Google still collects your location if you turn off location history and then use Google Maps or an app calls their fused location API, they do not periodically collect it unprompted if you have location history off. That's why I used the word "most". Because I feel it's obvious that they'll get your location in the other cases.

What's your opinion about services which provides summary for the books, such as blinkist?

Do you think those services are an asset or that it affects the book negatively? Do you think, if the original author wrote the summary; it would make a difference?

I have built news aggregators apps which uses summary from original description of author & also built bots which summarizes content; I'm conflicted between the value of a summary provided by the author /reader. I know that a book cannot be compared with a news article.

I went to BYU for my undergrad as well. As part of a job I had on campus I had some exposure to Honor Code processes. From my experience Honor Code enforcement was not as strict/retaliatory as people make it seem. Many times students would have multiple (e.g. 7) violations before any action was taken. This is just based off of my experience.

My personal opinion is that you shouldn’t sign the Honor Code if you don’t intend to keep it. It’s rediculous that students agree to the code annually and then are surprised when someone holds them to it. BYU Tuition is subsidized by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, so it’s not unreasonable that they ask you follow some code of conduct.

I was able to graduate with an engineering degree debt free and land an awesome well paying job afterword. Keeping the Honor Code for four years is such a small price to pay in comparison.

Here is a link to some version of the Honor Code. I’m not sure how up to date it is, but it’s probably close if not the same to the current version: https://policy.byu.edu/content/managed/26/ChurchEducationalS...
I have no problem visualizing multivectors, and have studied them extensively. What I have failed to find any intuition for is the general geometric product of two multivectors (without restricting to a particular grade). If you have one, I would love to hear it.
That’s inaccurate. iMessage, Keychain and a few other services are end to end encrypted with keys stored only in the secure elements of each iPhone. Apple cannot access this data even under subpoena and neither can anyone who controls their data centers (China). They don’t have those keys.

What the article you cited refers to is more general iCloud data, including backups, which is vulnerable to subpoena/govts. They do have those keys. But it is significant that China permits iMessage to operate even though it is E2EE.

More details here on what is E2EE and what is not: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303
All the people suggesting to use JS instead of Jsonnet are completely missing the point.

Jsonnet is a functional lazy evaluated language that supports powerful referential concepts. Unfortunately the website sucks at getting this across.

JS on the other hand is an imperative programming language.
If you say "use JS" you may as well say "use Python", the 2 are equivalent in this context and neither are in the same class as Jsonnet in terms of robustness and simplicity.

I didn't get it until I used it but after using it I don't think I would go back to test templating when it comes to dealing with JSON/things that are equivalent. i.e I would use Jsonnet to create JSON to convert to YAML rather than templating YAML directly.
Same goes for generating objects directly in JS/Python/jq - yes it can be done, yes sometimes you can write a nice DSL but in most cases Jsonnet is going to allow you to write said DSL faster using functions and it's going to be simpler and less prone to errors.
Here in the SF Bay Area, some cities have started collecting food waste to be treated and fed to animals.

This article reminded me of what Facebook was and the fact that I did actually like it when I first joined. The major complaint I see is usually centered around politics. But for me, I never saw any of that. The main reason I've stopped using it is simple: I used Facebook as a tool to see what people were doing in a passive way that I wouldn't have otherwise. But now the feeds are geared towards the advertisers, not what my friends are doing. Therefore it is no longer a good tool. It's bad software, plain and simple. I really wish there was a better alternative. I know a lot have tried, but they don't seem to "get" what Facebook was for some reason. They all seem to be Twitter alternatives rather than Facebook ones.

The number one feature about the way Facebook works is simple: I can share something on someone else's wall/feed/timeline and all of their friends can see it and comment. No other site/network seems to have that feature. Google+ didn't have it, Mastodon doesn't have it. Everything is post on your own page.

My stance is: the wedge product is the fantastic mathematical tool you are looking for, to make sense of rotations and generalizations of complex numbers to higher dimensions, and the "geometric product" (of Hestenes) is not that useful, and almost every time it is useful it's useful because it's got the wedge product as a special case. I think that the vector calculus that should be used in physics should consist of "wedge products and interior products" as the fundamental operations, and the 'geometric product' should probably not be mentioned.

That said, this is only my current judgment of the situation, which may change someday. I'm waiting to be convinced that the geometric product is so useful. I just find it so very cludgy when, for instance, GA texts are filled with use of 'grade projection" : take a geometric product with all its terms and then project off the grade you're interested in. It seems like the wrong tool is being used, and almost every time there's a multivector of 'mixed grade', it's regrettable.

(Indeed, wedge products are used everywhere already, in hiding -- integration, determinants, matrix minors, commutators, cross products, rotation matrices, projective geometry, grassmann algebra, ...)

Yes, this is why I said most of what I feel is problematic, you're able to disable automatic location collection but not all location collection.

Your opening maps question is an interesting one, I automatically assume any data that goes to their servers is fair game, so if I'm asking Google to give me driving directions or even open a map and show me where I am (which requires loading map data for the area), I'm clearly making that choice.

I suppose it's possible they could behave better, but once data leaves my device, it's out of my control and I have to assume the worst.
