JSON is supported natively (i.e. fast and correctly) in all modern JS environments. Yes, at one point we used Crock's parser but that's the past. Likewise, it currently is only used as a stop-gap measure to begrudgingly support older browsers.

If we're going to undo years of progress we should do it for a very good reason.

JSON has wide support in many languages. Some of them have fast low level parsers. All that work has to be duplicated. Again, this just doesn't seem sufficient reason.

Right now if I want to throw together a Python script to crawl a bunch of NPM packages and read their package.json (let's say to put together a chart or collect statistics), I can easily.

If NPM switches to JSON5, we lose compatibility without a lot of duplicated effort. Again, there's just not enough benefits.

I consider comments a flaw, because they add little benefit. JSON is a data serialization/interchange format and there shouldn't be much need to comment on it, it should be largely self explanatory. If you really need to tag things with info, you can in JSON. Adding comments is to tempting for people to abuse.

However, if you really need lots of comments, there are many existing formats which might be better suited for your task. JSON is ultimately for machines. It has a benefit that humans can read/edit it easily...but if you have data that is intended more for humans and needs lots of meta information like a complicated config file, you should either create a front end for it or use a format better suited to that purpose.

When you consider that writing a plugin for your editor, or just a stand-alone translator would solve all of the problems this does, there's no reason to put up with all the drawbacks.

What it comes down to IMHO, is this isn't suitable to replace JSON and for other uses there are already existing formats that are better.
> Try 'imapsync' [1] instead, as it uses a config file for your credentials instead of command-line arguments, keeping the secret(s) out of the process list.

Given where he said the box resides, I'd say he's got a major problem if unfriendlies are in s position to run ps -eF on it, no matter what is in the command strings, LOL!

And, if they can run ps, they can more than likely read the config files, too!

> Instead, use a cronjob wrapper script (e.g. [2]) that is silent on success and outputs on error, so the "cronjob-output-as-email" feature works to notify you when it breaks.

Excellent suggestion.
Agreed, I can't use this. Not including such basic features throws it way out of the standard.

My point was that if you bet on commodities, you bet for increased production, and increased consumption of scarce resources.

Not the end of the world.

It's no different from buying the stock of companies that sell the goods the commodities are composed of (since they demand those commodities and in turn set their prices in the market via demand).
Well seeing as my tbills represent the future output of the world's largest economies, and one of the greatest consumers of veblen goods (which includes most of the demand for your commodities), you and I aren't so different. We bet the same.

But you have no idea what you're doing.

I merely wish to point out that you can't bet for the end of the world. You can merely prepare for it.

Currencies can do whatever they want.

Money moves to safety during times of high vol. People think money moves to gold, when in fact it moves to the highest quality bonds and currency.

How about "freedom to eat safe food" where you wouldn't have to bring a chemistry kit to every restaurant to test for toxins?

How about "freedom from unnecessarily dangerous professions" where you won't have to concern yourself with being just another casualty in the factory?

Usually when people "give up" freedom they're just trading it for a different form.

It is extremely liberating for non-technical people to be able to browse an app store catalog and install things without concern that it will wreck their device.

This thing is unfair for the china telecom companys.

China telecom is JUST working hard for the aims that everybody in the world can enjoy communicate with each other,even in the poorest country. This aim is good to internet span quick in developing country.

It's an interesting take, and I'm curious how I'll like it, but I haven't decided yet.
The parent's point is that PRC<->Taiwanese relations are more complex than they appear. Words like "renegade province" make it sound like they are sworn enemies, but the parent is right: it is much more complex than that.

As a random but relevant example, Foxconn is a Taiwanese company but much of its manufacturing capacity is on the Chinese mainland.

Taiwan is politically an ally of the US, but economically it is much more closely aligned with China.

The Curious George thing was confusing; it was hardly even a book store at that point. I'd argue it probably hurt them more than it helped them. But fair enough. A few bookstores have shut down around there, including ones with similarly legitimate differentiation (like that rare book store around the corner.)

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that they picked the location to compete with Amazon. In this case, I mean "beat Amazon" to be synonymous with "surviving." Perhaps "coexist with Amazon" would have been a better way to put it.
Sure. Basically just this guy's work:

I eat beans, fruit, and vegetables, and that's basically it. No starchy vegetables (i.e., potatoes, squash), and occasional nuts and seeds.

No meat, grains, salt, sugar, alcohol, or pretty much anything other than fruits, vegetables, and beans.

In addition to losing weight, I lost 100 points of cholesterol and also saw improvements in my blood pressure, my teeth, my skin, and other areas.

I went off it because I got bored, and I got all the weight back. I went back on it about a month ago and I've already lost 16 pounds or so.

Boost the users ego. Facebook does this well and I have a sneaking suspicion it was never intentional. The whole impetus to create it was born out of human nature and the user engagement just flowed from there. At this point people post to Facebook to show off how cool and interesting their lives are. Facebook gets this right in so many ways. It's fast, easy, and you get lots of reinforcement in the form of likes. The fact that the whole thing just naturally came together is what really made it. Unfortunately not every web app can make it flow like them. The more thought you have to put into how you'll evoke these emotions you have to put in, the more evidence there probably is to suggest your app just doesn't lend itself well to it. That said, not all apps need to evoke emotions to be successful. Serving a basic utilitarian purpose and doing it well is often enough. Google Drive comes to mind.

I think that's fair. I think plenty of people would describe a dramatic change in diet as an intense thing, and I certainly don't think there's any harm in intensity, as long as it's intelligently applied, and it's different from some kind of demented obsessiveness.
That's what I see; we tried to establish a developer team in Spain and we found out that good people went to Germany and a large portion of the remainder don't actually don't want to work. We are talking university level CS people. I was amazed by this. Even when I met one who was willing to work he wanted a contract for life and part time.

I know a lot of kids there who finished school, live with their parents on (some kind of; I'm not totally clear on this; I know they receive a few $100/month) benefits. I'm from the Netherlands and this concept is alien to me. None of the people from the schools I went to would consider living off benefits unless very ill or something like that; the ones who did not get a regular job opened companies. Probably it depends on the part of Spain but it was a strange experience.
I've never heard of Dustin Curtis, and I've said "you should follow me on Twitter" before. It's a pretty basic phrase, and I'd bet 99% of the people who use it haven't heard of him either.

Thanks for the feedback.

It could be possible to mark individual items read, but hiding the ones you actually clicked on (without marking them read) is unfortunately impossible: As pointed out somewhere else in the comments, with javascript you can't read the "visited" selector, and with only css I could perhaps hide just the visited link, but not the encasing and trailing TR.
So basically what this is saying is, insteat of burning trillions of dollars in Iraq, killing over a hundred thousand human beings and ruining the credibility of the US on the way, it would have been sufficient to just take 100 billion or so and invent new drilling technologies? Talk about a bad decision.

Yes I was just talking in a general sense that JSON should not go all XML and mutate. In some cases I have added layers like this for instance in a C++ parser for game engines it allowed comments in the json but were stripped out at runtime on load and on send/receive from the services. But conforming to JSON that current browsers, libraries etc can use.

I see where you were going with it, ES5 support as a baseline is nice, also comments are nice but also bulky to a streamlined messaging format in most cases (config is usually yaml or some other format for this reason maybe).

I guess the naming is what maybe might cause some confusion and a good engineer makes things more simple not more complex, the simplicity of JSON is hard to achieve with such success but it is also its killer feature so that should be recognized. As long as we don't have to support 50 different 'modern JSON' formats then we are good. There are some good ones like BSON for binary JSON. I guess JSON5 works for your ES5 support.

I think here you have good reasons for your work but it goes back to the age old be 'conservative in what you send, liberal in what you accept'. That standards agreement makes everything work and to me being an engineer is taking complexity and simplifying always, bloat is bad. Here it isn't that but XML started out simple as well and became a verbose, bloated hell so people get touchy with JSON hehe.

The thing about coding is there's lots of thinking. I can write code efficiently because after a point, raw typing speed is not very important. I'm much less efficient at, say, copying out prose that's already written (unless my prediction engine is familiar with it...).

My software is like an on-screen keyboard with context-sensitive prediction, more sensible orientation and layout, and lots of shortcuts overloaded on the buttons, operated by the other mouse buttons and the scroll-wheel. So, for example, moving a word/page at a time, selecting lines/files, unindenting, etc. are just done by scrolling in the right place, control-A is middle-clicking A, and so on (the program just sends the appropriate keystrokes to make things happen). Selecting and toolbars/menus are fast because you're already using the mouse, and copy and paste is just select and middle click on Linux.

RSI basically forced me to develop the system (I can't use a physical keyboard, and no existing software was or is good enough), and I have been using it for all my typing since 2003. I'm now working on making a commercial version aimed primarily at touch screens (gestures will replace different mouse buttons).

"Adobe in the last 5 years has now let go many of the core developers of their critical products and outsourced their key products to development teams overseas who were not familiar with the product or the fields of graphic design and illustration."

I don't know if that's true, but even if I take your word that it is, this really has nothing to do with the OP's problem, which is order fulfillment and not the actual Creative Suite software.

And as a user of quite a bit of Adobe's CS software (I have a full CS6 Creative Cloud license for a year due to attending Adobe Max last year and had CS5.0 prior to that), I don't see too many signs of what occurred with Quark when it comes to the quality of new releases. The Creative Suite software is all pretty good year over year and generally improves more than regresses, and this is true up to and including CS6, IMO. Granted, one could argue each new release doesn't offer a ton more than the past release (especially considering the premium upgrade pricing), but that's true of virtually any mature commercial software product.

I just started reading the Sprawl trilogy, my first Gibson novels. I find them contrived and confusing. I've talked to others about this, and so far no one has disagreed. Also, I've tried to see a reason for it to be like this, and I can't...confusing for the sake of being confusing.

They are still good books (I finished Neuromancer a few days ago) and I'd recommended them to people who are already into science fiction. Having said that, I hope you'll understand when I say that I also consider them the worst that science fiction has to offer. They aren't only inaccessible but actually off putting to anyone but a dedicated reader.

I'm not a fan of it, but Ender's Game is the exact opposite. Not great science fiction, but very accessible. Whatever your thoughts on SciFi, you'll fall in love with Ender and take a very deep interest in his story.

If only it were this easy to extended JavaScript with a new serialization format! If the serialized text can't be assigned to a JavaScript variable, it's not JavaScript notion.

I also tried something similar a few years back when I was sick of dealing with XML and coming to terms with the required quotes.

http://xjson.org/

While it's certainly prettier to have native literals and optional quotes, it's simply not worth giving up the interoperability with JavaScript.

You really need a large existing online presence to make Twitter work effectively. We have found Twitter extremely difficult to create any real traffic or interest [1].

We have tried all the usual tips: follower those with similar interests, interact with others, ask people to follow etc etc It just doesn't work. Even when you gain followers (many are spam) they don't click through on links.

Add in all the noise on Twitter we struggle to know the true purpose of twitter.

Another anecdote- I don't care how good your app is, if it doesn't look good, it looks like you don't care. I'll eventually get annoyed and stop using it.
I explain it to people as "a brand given to products that are meant to enrich your Windows experience"

So, for example:

SkyDrive
Messenger
Movie Maker
Photo Gallery
etc.

It actually has some decent products and it sort of made sense to group them into a brand. I like what they're doing with Win8 though.

I do find it funny that Microsoft is backtracking though. Windows Vista shipped with all these windows live apps and then Windows 7 removed them from the OS and made them an optional download through "Windows Live Essentials". This was meant to "un-bloat" the operating system. Now it seems Microsoft wants to take away the Live branding and bundle them with the OS again.

Interestingly, the article doesn't say how much debt Catalonia has relative to its GDP (it's 17%) or its tax revenues. Without that information, we don't know anything other than the obvious, which is that a sudden quadrupling (or whatever) of interest rates is going to be a problem for any debtor. Just imagine 10-year treasuries going to 5% by the end of the year.

Presenting Catalonia as some kind of an exemplary case for a larger problem may be misguided for another reason. Spanish regions are famously independent minded. Normally, no one outside Spain listens to the the Catalonian government's tactical maneuvering to extract concessions from the central government. But these days, any mention of debt in Europe causes panic attacks.

The Levenshtein distance between Catalonia and California is just 4 whereas the distance from Catalonia to Greece is 9. That can't be a coincidence ;-)

Thanks for the reply. Interesting, I thought (speaking roughly here) entities put money in gold during high volatility - times where its hard to find stable bonds and currency. Thinking about it, perhaps that last condition is rarely the case.
