XML source + XSLT can be considerably more compact than the resulting transformation, saving on hosting and bandwidth.

For one, in many cases the XML + XSLT is more compact than the rendered output, so there are hosting and bandwidth benefits, especially if you're transforming a lot of XML files with the same XSLT.

There's even a JS implementation of XSLT 3.0 already (SaxonJS).

Because those neglecting it are the same that want to remove it. So it's not “we want to remove it because it's neglected”, but “we want to remove it so we'll neglect it”. This is a pretty standard M.O. for the destruction of

Also, fun fact, XSLT 3 relies on XPath 3.1 which can also handle JSON.

Most of the issues of using client-side XSLT is that browsers haven't updated their implementations since v1 nor their tooling to improve debugging. Both of these issues are resolved improving the implementations and tooling, as pointe

The intuition with the columns of pennies over a plate doesn't translate because in the plate case the surface is fixed (the surface of the plate) so the pressure depends on how much weight you put on it. In the case of multiple column

The equations are conceptually simple: Navier-Stokes equations (conservation of momentum) and conservation of mass. The behavior is emergent.

CUDA uses a single-source approach, meaning that the host (CPU) and device (GPU) code are in the same file. So it requires a special compiler (nvcc) that splits the original source files, compiles the host and device parts separately, and t

The problem is that Stallman has painted himself in a corner here. On the one hand, he says: don't use LLVM/Clang, it's dangerous, use GCC instead; on the other hand, he says, no, you cannot add to GCC the features that you w
