Very cool! I recently wrote an XSLT 2 transpiler for js ( https://github.com/egh/xjslt ) - it's nice to see some options out there! Writing the xpath engine is probably the hard part (I relied on fontoxpath). I&#x27

I developed xjslt, an XSLT 2.0 ( https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/ ) compiler for JavaScript. XSLT is still the best way to transform XML content into other XML or HTML content, and there is only one generally available

Incoherent argument. Non-profits pay sales taxes, income taxes for employee salaries, and, in many cases, property taxes. The only thing they aren't ever paying taxes on is profits, because... they are non-profits. They don't pay

Bicycles are not a physics 101 problem. In practice this just doesn't happen. See the links I provided. You can also read more about this in the "Bicycling Science" book.

It's my firm opinion, and that of many people who've looked at it, that flipping over the bars is caused by the rider not bracing themselves as they use the very powerful front brakes. https://www.renehersecycles.com&#x

this is the traditional belief, but all the empirical research on this shows that it is not true. https://www.umass.edu/news/article/umass-amherst-economists-... https://www.economist.com/finance-a

It's a pretty simple design, and it's based on the ARC format ( https://archive.org/web/researcher/ArcFileFormat.php ) which is even simpler. In response to your questions, here's my take (as somebody

That is simply not true. That could be the case in the near future ( https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/how-the-nlr... ) but it is simply not true now. Amazon can always force a vote if 50% of members of th

lol. I've been developing code with emacs for 25 years and I'm fine with this and would be annoyed if I needed to figure out how to install every language server for every language I use.

This is a great comment because while it's completely wrong empirically, it also completely misses the point of the good question about free silver. Like the question of what was the US civil war about (slavery) the question of what si

Good point. The data I reported is for "shelter" only, excluding utilities, furniture, etc., so I'm not sure how that looks on the income curve. You're also reporting average income, not median. Median income is much sta
