I usually use jq to understand the structure of the file. `keys` will get you all the key names in an object; `with_entries(.value |= type)` will replace each element on an object with its type. You can quickly delve into a JSON and gain so

With words that have meanings? To the layperson, "data center" and "supercomputers" translates to "tech stuff". "AWS is a service by Amazon that runs software for you in computers connected to the internet

It definitely has to do with low salaries: by Spanish standards, I'd say that's a good job offer. Sure, the range advertised is too broad to be useful, but at least there is one; a good one, too, considering that most tech jobs

That doesn't directly translate to a color requirement in the font, though.

This is about icon fonts and font rendering and has nothing to do with Unicode. Code points don't have colour; there's no colour requirements anywhere in the spec. Your fonts don't have to support the entirety of Unicode. Tha

The git support is a big deal. I loathe SourceTree and the like, but VSC is basically a better `git add -p` for me.

Well, for one, they make about 50% of full measures, give or take.

So, if they aren't willing to go through whatever random whiteboard bullshit you decide is due, then they can't join your company? Sounds like you're doing them a favor, not the other way around...

Hilariously, PHP supports this on its date/time formatting functions: http://php.net/manual/en/function.idate.php

That doesn't even make sense.

Well, yes. Everything else I've mentioned is also dependant on cultural contexts that may vary dramatically over time. I surely hope Facebook hasn't won forever. For what it's worth, I'm not a native English speaker.

Code collaboration tools have a strong network effect due to them being ultimately social tools, and we expect categories affected by the network effect to have winner/losers mechanics. Of course, they don't actually have to, but

While I understand the sentiment, this conflates up-front design with compile-time safety, and opposes the latter to "quick, spontaneous changes". However, I feel that my iteration loop gets tighter thanks to compile-time safety,

Oh, no, it's not your IBAN. It's a number that looks like a credit card number, but the card it points to is actually a debit card.

I'm European and I'm yet to find a credit card field where I can't put my debit card number. I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

Sure, because a coin is evaluated on its capacity to map to an even distribution of outcomes. Drug possessions, however, are almost surely not an even distribution. If, say, 95% of the people that the dog evaluates have drugs, then raising

The whole part about being "hacked" is hilarious. It seems way more plausible that Skype internally uses fonts with special glyphs for its icons, and that when it couldn't find them for whatever reason, it defaulted to the ne

You make a really nice argument here. I would just like to clarify why I don't consider misogynist movements subcultures: it is, essentially, for the same reason I wouldn't consider pop music or the Java community as "subcult
