I am surprised no one spotted the obvious solution: perl -e '$_=24;print+(y///c,$m=$_)&&$_*3/4 .$/'

Wonderful. I don’t particularly care if it is or is not a valid test. I like the “wrong” renderings better. Some are hilarious, some … inspired.

Of late I have grown fond of ... brace yourself ... RDF in turtle format for config files. Supports comments, multiline literals, built-in support for references, and rich typing via xsd casting when necessary e.g. ex:subject ex:createdO

UGN -- unusable game notation. That has a ring to it. UGN was designed with SPARK and AWS S3 pbzip2-aware threading JSON readers in mind. For an analysis of a year's worth of lichess games -- over a billion, maybe more -- I believe

:-) You visited the site so props for that. But I find it odd you call the soup of braces, colons, and quotes a complete mess. That's JSON. As in industry standard everyone-uses-it JSON. If you're not familiar with the spa

Well... it's actually more parseable. Human readability is not the primary goal of BGN. It's precise capture of information esp. things ending up in PGN comments like %eval and %clk

Agreed. Multi-multi billion. It is a fundamental change in the global energy dynamic -- including the fact that D-T reactors are still use heat exchange which means heat is also a useful output product for industrial purposes. MSRs are

Exactly; see pollinators comment above. Although as tech progresses... perhaps we can make black plants as attractive to genetically modified pollinators. Do I sense a slippery slope here?

A fascinating piece that combines technology, precision in micromanufacturing, design aesthetics, economics, politics, and history -- centered on the now all-too-forgettable wristwatch in the smartphone age. I haven't worn a wristwat

Adding to the chorus of woes, my legal first name is Paul and middle starts with A and often the ticket comes out as "Paula". I have had at least two heated encounters with gate attendants saying the ticket could not possibly be

It does; I got this running easily because fortunately I have current postgres and psycopg2 installed so no tangential problems to interfere with the main event. So clearly the example shows how I can issue a SELECT statement against the ra

Fascinating. Well done! There is a certain eerieness to seeing this actually work. Although Borges lived to see computers becoming mainstream, I am sure he never imagined his artistic vision being implemented in such a strangely conven

Like many uses of AI, very good as a "seed" especially if it comes up with nuggets like grouping on a range instead of a single value. But as with almost any database, devil is in details. Different products have different i

Retested on OS X 13.2 for both 15.5.3 and 16.1; bug discovered thanks to 16! Fixed and new version pushed.

With BSON I am guaranteed that, for example, in Java, when I do `Document d = BSON.fromBytes()`, then `BigDecimal amount = d.getDecimal128('amount')` is non-lossy. `amount` is typed; `double amount = d.getDouble('double&#x27

Considering a random brew install bumped my postgres to 14.10.1 and I didn't even notice until 45 mins ago, maybe I should.

JSON[B] does work perfectly fine with decimal and float inside postgres and pgsql , e.g. select (data->>'amount')::numeric. The issue is moving that data in and out of postgres (or truly, any other data manager) with prec
