> Because I make my own decisions and my willingness to do something is inversely proportional to how hard it is being pushed on me.

I don't know you but I find this hard to believe. Which side of the road do you drive on? Do you wear a seatbelt? How fast do you drive? Do you throw your trash in the bin or on the ground? Do you wear clothes outside or go out naked? Do you go around threatening to harm people around you or just keep to yourself?

Unless you are going to tell me otherwise, I would assume you don't actually behave according to how hard you've been pushed to follow those rules but instead behave in ways that provide you the most benefit.
So what makes JSON Schema better is that nobody will "build an enormous ecosystem of tools on top" of it?
Better version imho - Cementaries are full of irreplaceable people.
That's for health insurance.
I can certainly create a JSONSchema (the XSD equivalent) by from memory (except for the $schema URI):

{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"foo": { "type": "string" }
}
}

And at least in VSCode, I get autocomplete too.

OpenAPI...I personally don't use this as much but yes there are hundred tutorials on creating definitions by hand.
> enough for the majority of consumers

But I think, in absolute numbers, the minority already is big enough to make this profitable and is growing. Targeting the majority is not the only profitable/optimal strategy, targeting a specific group which is just big enough to sustainably cover your expenses (salaries included) and is not targeted by a lot of competitors also is great.

I would pay up to twice the price (or even more) of an any mainstream appliance for a really great (prioritizing privacy/auotonomy, repairability/durability and hackability/customizability) one. And I believe I'm not alone.
Different countries, different events, different cultures, etc.

There is also the problem of having a sense of security when there is a large vaccinated population which causes the vaccinated population to resume a regular life. Those who are not vaccinated are now exposed to more people in general.

Example, my wife and I prior to being fully vaccinated interacted with less than 10 people in the 1.5 years. We had everything delivered and had someone do our Costco shopping and drop it off at our doorstep. With us both fully vaccinated we go to Costco for our groceries and indirectly come in contact with probably 50 people in a single visit.

Progressive JPEG would also be cool if bandwidth costs matter, nowadays a lot of images on the web have more pixels than the screen is able to display, so they are downloaded and downscaled. Or you have the HTML "imgsrc" attribute for "retina" images.

Imagine a file format that says "Byte-ranges 0-n will give you the image for a resolution of 640x480*. Bytes n+1 to m will give you the rest of the pixels for a resolution of 1440x1080, bytes m+1 to the end will give you the pixels you need to add to the 1080p version to get a 2160p version".

So the browser would decide what it needs and just requests the file up to that byte...

* The low-res 640x480 version might be all the browser needs if the person who designed the web page just wants the image e.g. as a small headline image in a news site column that is 640px wide
Maybe you've had better luck, but in my experience, I'd advise avoiding gaming laptops like the plague.

The build quality is alright depending on how you look at it. Better than most other laptops, but most other laptops are half the price. Looking at laptops in the same price range, usuablly they're about the same in my experience. They're fairly upgradable, you can swap the RAM and storage and often the battery, but that's about it.

Where they really fail is on the thermals. They certainly have better airflow than non-gaming laptops, but the amount of heat they produce is orders of magnitude more, and the gain in cooling is not as great as the gain in heat generated.

Most gaming laptops have a battery that will last maybe 3 years at most. Mine (which I'm looking to replace) didn't even last 1 year before it swelled to the point where I could get the backplate back on with the battery still in. Luckily it works for the time being on permenant power.

Meanwhile, my old x240, which I've had for about four years, is still going strong with no issues. I push that laptop hard, far harder comparitive to its specs than I did the gaming laptop.

Edit: For clarity I should say that my particular gaming laptop was a Razer Blade, which I do hear is one of the worse performers in terms of thermals, although its also listed as one of the best for build quality and upgradability, so its a bit of a mixed bag. I had an older gaming laptop which had better thermals but worse everything else, so as usual, YMMV

IMO RISC-V is rather targeting ARM's niche than that of Intel/AMD, so custom builds will be a more common scenario than distributing binaries.
> Both Return and Enter are called "Entrée" in French by everyone I know

Most likely because everyone you know has learnt learnt that PCs. On PCs, they're the same button. In Apple's ecosystem, they're completely different buttons that do entirely different things.

> But as far as I know there has never been a key called "Retour" on French keyboards

On Apple keyboards, it has always been referred to in the operating system and documentation as the "touche Retour". Though you're right, there isn't a symbol on the keyboard in Europe in order to sell the same model for the whole region.

> Back is also translated as "Retour" on iOS. Which means in some cases (like in the Mail app) you have two different "Retour" buttons, one that inserts a newline while the other one cancels what you're doing.

The latter is actually a UI error in most cases. Apple's HIG demands that "< Back" buttons actually have a label to say what you're going back to.

But yeah, they have a hard time following their own advice.

> I'm the one having to explain why the keyboard says "retour" to iPhone users

Now you can explain: it's just Apple terminology dating back to the 1980s. :-)
Indeed, but the aspect of the Red Dwarf toaster that really lands today is the unnecessarily extreme sophistication, coupled with the unrelenting effort to occupy more and more of the user's life.

Mark Twain wrote a short story called The Million Pound Bank Note. In it, a shipwrecked sailor is given a bank note worth one million pounds as part of a bet between two rich and eccentric brothers (not Trading Places). The sailor finds that whenever he tries to use the note to buy something, people treat him like a king and let him have whatever he likes for free.

I'd imagine being the founder of a unicorn offers similar perks and opens doors, regardless of how "real" the value is.
I’ll go where you’re alluding

A “food desert” doesn’t account for the person who consistently orders two flavors in their tall iced coffee (usually equates to 6+ oz of simple syrup); that’s a choice — and a severe negative externality.
They are heavily politicized in their presentation of France history (for example one of the spectacle is about the christians persecutions in Rome, where the christians are the good guide, and the romans are the bad guys).

Another famous recent event is that they bought one of Joan of Arc ring, but it was mainly a nationalist move more than something important to preserve (Joan of Arc is from the east / north part of France) (for more infos: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anneaux_de_Jeanne_d%27Arc).

Overall, the parc is an entertainment place as much as a political tool, but not a lot of people are aware of it, and most of them are eating their propagande like the true story of France (due to lack of education on history mainly).

Low editing quality would be expected by such a guy in such a state, it's already good that he does not WRITE IN ALL CAPS AND WHAT IS PUNCTUATION RHONDA.

> Regardless, you're still wrong. It isn't the case that more protection is always better. We know that there are circumstances where a vaccine can make a disease worse. And we don't know what future variants of the coronavirus will do.

I'm still wrong because I point out based on facts that I'm correct? The covid vaccines are much better than no vaccines.

I'll throw in another point:

"For every 10 million people who receive the first dose of AstraZeneca, about 66 more will suffer from a blood-clotting syndrome than during normal circumstances, according to the study published in the British Medical Journal. This figure compares with 12,614 more incidences recorded in 10 million people who have tested positive for Covid-19." [0]

> On the diesel; yeah, it causes deaths from air pollution. Lots of things do. Life is not without risk.

Is your freedom not impeding on other peoples freedoms (to live)?

> I mean; it is kinda obvious that COVID isn't going away. And you can tell from the case numbers that it is mostly vaccinated people getting it, because there aren't enough deaths for it to be raging through an unvaccinated population.

> It isn't misleading, it is just facts.

"Prevalence in those aged 5-49 was 2.5 times higher at 0.20% (0.16%, 0.26%) compared with those aged 50 years and above at 0.08% (0.06%, 0.11%)." [1]

It would've been nicer with more exact data, but older were vaccinated earlier, and ages 5-12 have 0 vaccinations yet.

Your "facts" seem based on simple reasoning that I can't reconcile with what I consider facts to be, nor do I agree with the reasoning to begin with.

XSD is not as bad as everyone claims. JSON Schema vs. XSD complexity is IMHO pretty much the same. Working with both over years.

DTD however, let us not talk about that. Let us just forget it.

I think the drama in XML usage was basically that a simple RPC (or resource query) had at least a dozen namespaces, standards and very long element names. But that is not the fault of XML but of SOAP/WS-*. XML itself can be very beautiful and simple.

Oh, and horrible DOM Apis ;). When working in semi-modern .NET parsing XML/JSON is super easy. Doing the same in JavaScript (out-of-the-box) is a drama.
> The current case fatality rate is averaging around 2%, but that's with access to medical care.

This is an order of magnitude off from what the data actually say.

See table 4.

Delta: total cases: 92,029
Deaths within 28 days: 117

100 * (117 / 92,029) = 0.127%

No, not anywhere close to 2%. 5%? 10%? It never got anywhere near that.

This disease just isn't that deadly and we need to recognize that.

It's a lot less robust than I would have liked. It really seems more to me that since the top 1% are not salary, their taxes are using more complex calculations on Schedules C, D, and E, that differences in opinion on taxes owed exist more frequently - which should be expected.

The original source also notes: "Higher income individuals have larger amounts that are
misreported, but they are small compared to their overall
income. This results in small but statistically significant reductions in the Gini coefficient"

...of course, the headline has already been let loose on social media, so the truth behind whether it's even true that 1% are tax dodging or not is more or less irrelevant.
And that's the issue.

SOAP isn't some nice standardized language-agnostic API layer.

SOAP is .NET/Visual Studio RPC. (Not technically, but in practice, due to its complexity.)

The current status quo depends on the PRC pretending that Taiwan is ruled by a regional government, while the Taiwanese government has restricted its actual scope to Taiwan. To this effect, in 1991 Taiwan has added articles to its constitution to account for the fact that its government has only control over the "Taiwan Area".

The actual policy of the Taiwanese government depends on who is in charge at the moment. The Pan-Blue Coalition favors reunification, while the Pan-Green Coalition tries to assert a separate Taiwanese national identity.

The claim on the rest of China is still there, but only because it cannot be dropped in practice. The PRC would interpret dropping the claim on the rest of China as a declaration of Secession and Independence, which would have diplomatic and possibly military consequences.

The US legislature has the right to regulate commerce in the US according to the US Constitution. Healthcare of workers and the overall impact of covid are two things directly affecting the economy.

The legislature already has the former of these covered by the creation of OSHA in the 1970s. OSHA is a regulatory agency under the Department of Labor, which is part of the executive cabinet.

The executive is now using these powers granted by the legislature to ensure workers are protected in their work environments.

For me when I was learning this the first problem was to grab what Mac Lane intended to say with "monoids" exactly (in monads are monoids such that blah) since the default notion from algebra didn't match (unital semigroup). It turns out that he is speaking of monoid objects, which is a technical term as in here [1]. There it describes monoid object in a monoidal category, which is an unfortunate clash of two monoid-sounding things that need to be thought independently. One clarifies first what is the monoidal category, and only then asks what a monoid-object in that category is. In our case one starts with an arbitrary category C. The category of endofunctors has as objects functors F:C->C, and as morphisms natural tranformations mu:F1->F2. Endofunctors always compose, and that gives the endofunctor category a monoidal category structure: The monoidal product, or in other words the tensor product is the composition of endofunctors. One checks that this monoidal product verify the monoidal category axioms. So then one has established what monoidal category we talk aboout. It is in that monoidal category where one consider monoid objects, and then notices that they correspond to monads.

> He put a end to the Revolution's chaos, defeated European attempts to invade France and destroy the Revolution, rewrote French law from scratch, and reorganised the country.

That he certainly did not.

The uniformisation of French laws had been started two centuries before the Revolution but the French kings didn't have the power to modify civil laws. As soon as the revolutionaries took it, Cambacérès started petitioning for the promulgation of an unique code based on a merger of the Coutume de Paris and the written laws of the South. It took close to a decade to finalize the text and reach somewhat of a consensus but by the time Napoleon took power the whole thing was done. Apart from promulgating the code, he had very little to do with it.

He also didn't stop attempt to destroy the revolution. He did that by himself. Did you miss the part where he had himself crown emperor and how it's defeat was followed by the restauration.

I don't understand why some people keep crediting Bonaparte with what is mostly work done by the first constitutional assembly.
