The fact that this thing even exists is proof that we are on the cusp of something.

The fact that this thing even exists is proof that we are on the cusp of something. This vehicle only just scrapes through in terms of criteria needed for a consumer vehicle. Unlike the Tesla it is made of super-light construction materials and only a fraction of the battery power. It runs mainly on the sunlight it absorbs. It is also a kit and it’s very expensive. But nevertheless, it is an experimental vehicle knocking on the doors of the consumer market. Keep watching this space.

Kids, these were called “cathode ray tubes” and they were the main element of things called “television sets”. The idea behind “video game machines” was to jam the “broadcast signal” coming from the local “TV station” so that you didn’t need to watch “commercials” just to be entertained. Not watching broadcasts in those days was illegal and many young people were arrested and sent to children’s prison.

It’s Mustache for JSON

Here’s a spec for version 3 of a language I created for transforming JSON. This version is much cleaner and makes use of existing concepts. If you use JSON or YAML or just code in a dynamic language, this should be useful for you.
