I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned this yet, but this is exactly how the goto statements in Windows Batch scripts work. To see for yourself: run a non-trivial batch script in cmd.exe with plenty of gotos and check out all the Crea

By "just" I mean this is a simpler solution (compared to JSONSchema), not that it is an obvious solution. I'm pretty sure the author does not know about this solution since using Protocol Buffers for configs is not a well-kno

Why not just define your schema using Protocol Buffers and use the [proto3 JSON mapping]( https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3#j... )? On a similar note, text protos actually work very well as

Agreed. At the same time, companies should invest more in distributed work places. Most of the congestion in the Bay Area and surrounding areas, extending through the Tri-Valley and into the Central Valley, is caused by commuter traffic.

Nothing wrong with that legally or ethically. It's just one of those things that is slightly stigmatized, similar to the way that COBOL itself is stigmatized or if you ask for ketchup on your hotdog while in Chicago.

Perhaps if you are the author of the 20,000 line header file, but from my experience, this is certainly not the case when developing software in a team. Having all the code in one file is significantly more difficult to understand for a new

Or, if you want to use a binary format without having to deal with all of the complexities of inventing your own, you can also use Protocol Buffers. You can even use Protocol Buffers as a schema for JSON too as of 3.0.

I understood and agree with what you intended to say, but perhaps "life events" may have been a bit ambiguous, and some people tend to define "depression caused by life events" as depression caused by tragedies.

The point is that it is possible to be able to pitch a technology to management without being overly opaque and sounding like a bag of buzzwords. Also, keep in mind that different industries are accustomed to different sets of terminology.
