sigzero··on Human-Oriented Markup Language
XKCD predicting the future so well! :)
sigzero··on Human-Oriented Markup Language
Data only for JSON, it lacks just like everything else as a configuration language. Arguments against I have seen are too verbose, too strict, and no comments. I am sure there are more.
sigzero··on OCaml as my primary language
Yeah, it makes me think he doesn't understand them in OCaml.
sigzero··on Anker is no longer selling 3D Printers
Yeah, I had no idea...and maybe that was the problem too.
sigzero··on Ozzy Osbourne has died
No, she has said he didn't euthanize himself. Someone posted a link.
sigzero··on The first non-opoid painkiller
I've live for all my life in a lot of places in the US and "Paracetamol" was never used. I'd never heard that term until this HN thread.
sigzero··on An Efilist Just Bombed a Fertility Clinic. Was This Bound to Happen?
Wow, I had to look that term up and yup, I had no idea there was such a thing.
sigzero··on Java at 30: Interview with James Gosling
> I can run THE SAME CODE on DOS, BeOS, Amiga, Atari ST, any of the BSDs, Linux distros, macOS, OS X, Windows, HP/UX, SunOS, Solaris, IRIX, OSF/1, Tru64, z/OS, Android, classic Mac, and more.

No, you really can't. Not anything significant anyway. There are too many deviations between some of those systems to all you to run the same code.

sigzero··on Baby is healed with first personalized gene-editing treatment
It is also capable of creating new diseases that will be resistant to anything we currently have to fight with.
sigzero··on Baby is healed with first personalized gene-editing treatment
There are always those concerns.
sigzero··on Baby is healed with first personalized gene-editing treatment
Yes, other countries are pursuing this.
sigzero··on Lazarus Release 4.0
He did not say you are incorrectly asking anything. He said you were reading it wrong and explained why.
sigzero··on Redis is open source again
Well that's a reason not to use a distro right? If I type `sudo dnf install redis`, I want to install redis not valkey.
sigzero··on Pike – a dynamic programming language with a syntax similar to Java and C
I am old. I remember when it came out.
sigzero··on Adding keyword parameters to Tcl procs
That looks very nice!
sigzero··on CVE program faces swift end after DHS fails to renew contract [fixed]
Which doesn't mean Trump saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025 a lie.
sigzero··on The Tcl Programming Language: A Comprehensive Guide (2nd Edition)
It's Tcl now not TCL. No longer an acronym. It hasn't been TCL for years.
sigzero··on MLB says Yankees’ new “torpedo bats” are legal and likely coming
I totally agree.
sigzero··on Mastering Delphi 5 2025 Annotated Edition Is Now Complete
"easy UI development" Java never really got that part right.
sigzero··on The Great Hobby Lobby Artifact Heist
Jesus does not condemn wealth. If that is what you are taking away from his interaction with the rich man, you would be wrong. Wealth itself is never condemned in the Bible (Old or New Testament). God often blessed his servants with wealth.
sigzero··on The Origin of the Pork Taboo
Not eating pork came way before the Greeks and Romans.
sigzero··on The Origin of the Pork Taboo
That is a pipe dream.
sigzero··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA
Green cards come with rules to keep. If you break those rules you can and probably will lose your green card and be deported.
sigzero··on The DuckDB Local UI
DBeaver is great and you're probably right. If I was only doing DuckDB work it would be helpful but that is rarely the case for me and DBeaver works better for my use cases.
sigzero··on The DuckDB Local UI
I just tried it. Worked for me.
sigzero··on An election forecast that’s 50-50 is not “giving up”
It was who he won that mattered. Democrats are using 1.5% to justify a "we didn't do that badly" attitude and yes, they did do badly. Trump won demographics he had no reasonable right to win and He took all of the swing States. He won the popular vote that no Republican has been able to do since 2004.His Electoral College win was resounding. That and the Republicans winning the House and Senate. The Democrats really really need to rethink things.
sigzero··on An election forecast that’s 50-50 is not “giving up”
He absolutely has a mandate. You don't have to have a "blowout" to have a mandate. He has several mandates actually.
sigzero··on An election forecast that’s 50-50 is not “giving up”
No, they ran with "horrible" women. Had they not screwed Tulsi Gabbard over and pretty much pushed her out of the party, I would have loved to have voted for Democrat woman.
sigzero··on Egg prices are soaring. Are backyard chickens the answer?
Killing is part of the "circle of life". Murder is not. They are two very different concepts.
sigzero··on When Not to Obey Orders (2019)
No, he 100% failed the test.
