It looks like the US still hasn’t found a way to support and pursue decent behaviors without resorting to religious talk.
Is it a secular society actually possible? Or do we need to first agree on the godly energy that let us live together?
Because it has been proven over and over again that this energy is easily manipulated and converted to unhealthy policies. https://mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/@lauren/117250586834903466

Your comment triggered a somehow related memory: I had a university mate that made an exxxxtremely efficient compression algorithm; and as long as you didn't have to decompress the payload, everything was impressive. 😅

Request for name suggestions:
I am building a language to define data schema (similarly to what xsd and json-schema do) that is format independent, and thus it could be used to validate data serialized in multiple different formats.
It’s optimized for ergonomics, as I find current schema definition options awkward to read and understand.
Its syntax is similar to relaxNG compact (https://relaxng.org/compact-tutorial-20030326.html).
I have a basic implementation already running, but I still don’t know how to call it.

I am still stuck at the “write your own CMS system” step. 😅

journalists have a much easier time squeezing juicy stories out of famous/rich people than investigating what poor people have to go through in their quest for a better life.

this take requires more brain power to process than what I have now available; I will need to review it more carefully, as it seems to hide some interesting take on donations I want to understand better. 😅

I have contrasting feelings; being able to avoid naming everything is definitely useful.
But being able to find an effective name can greatly improve the understanding and the ability to reason about a concept/idea.
Names are powerful, but hard; understanding when using them effectively and when not to use them at all is part of the wisdom to acquire.
