BookHeretykow··on Why Dark didn't choose Rust
I've seen memory leaks because of optimization and other stupid excuses enough times to know this is not a valid statement. it doesn't matter GC or know. It's minimum to know how to manage your memory.
BookHeretykow··on NestedText, a nice alternative to JSON, YAML, TOML
JavaScript is using double as a number. There's no such thing like integer or floating point numbers per se, only so called Number.

Described issue is not problem of a JSON but engine which parsed it and language which stands behind the parser. Any config format will eventually have same result and same issue.

So forcing programmer to parse every single piece of data for sake of "it's his responsibility" is not a case here.

I also disagree this is in any way programmer responsibility to create standardized way of creating parser for everything. This format gives you nothing but indentation so you are forced to create documentation for everything field, what type it's and what kind of values it takes. Lots of extra work for nothing when you have any other format.

BookHeretykow··on Google resumes its attack on the URL bar, hides full addresses on Chrome 86
More or less this is true. I encountered even web devs who thought it was unimaginable to change browser. Because extensions, because differences in css and so on. IE8 PTSD. For common user largest tragedy is lost of opened tabs. I seen this over and over again. So many people think there's no such thing like bookmarks and they keep their tabs open until OS crush or something.

Are you sure this will be standard documentation? Or Google Chrome Spyware documentation? Become MS and Google both are using same thing with different names

In a way I prefer to read source code of Chrome and Firefox than using W3 "documentation". Only if day had 72 hours and I didn't have a child I honestly would consider it seriously
BookHeretykow··on Mac keyboard shortcuts
The thing is, this is not full screen maximize. Mac like most Unix systems (Linux included) can create multiple virtual screens. What this means you have does windows on different screen from your computer point of view.

This is something what you may or may not know as Workspace from Windows or KDE but on steroids.

How virtual screens are handled by the OS is different story. As a user of ungodly discussing i3 tailing manager I can only say, problems you described I personally consider as terrible design and putting look over functionality.

Basically this looks like OS X do care only for current screen if it's full screen or for any screen if it's not. What's inconsistent (terrible UX) and hard to use (also terrible UX).

BookHeretykow··on Small mail server best current practices
You sir, created in me hope for mail server in Rust. But this is just a Go Lang
BookHeretykow··on Montreal is taxing churches (2017)
Actually yes. Why government should have prime real estate? Why government officials should not pay taxes? Because it's government? Honestly, this is just a job. This is just a building that serve some purpose. This is kinda business which provides you something in exchange of mandatory subscription ️
