I have to give a +1 on this article. I'm not a big mouse gesture fan or user but I do agree with the mindset to use best tool available for the task. What 'best' means is subjective but I like discovering new tools or options I didn't know I have. Thanks!

The conclusion is very much true: “The book has to be a book that people actually want to read,”.

I'm not sure I understand his example:

    “I need to configure this server and the server needs to know if this value is true or false.”
    No, that’s bad. Don’t do that. That’s not a good use for XML.
But on the other hand, if you need to mark something bold, then XML is a great choice.

I see both cases as being quite equivalent: whether the server needs to know that a value is true/false or that it needs to display something as bold feels quite the same thing, isn't it?

Or does he mean that you cannot easily retrieve the value of an arbitrary XML element? Whereas to display a document you just process it sequentially and do not need to 'retrieve' arbitrary data. Is this it?

Void linux: very simple and easy to use, fast boot, runit instead of systemd, user packages (via xbps-src)... it's simply a joy to use.

Void linux. For personal use, I switched to it couple of years ago after I had some weird issues on Ubuntu. Very stable, everything works as expected: the OS is just there in the background, almost unnoticed, as an OS should be.

I mistakenly read the title as "can't fly" instead of "can": I read the whole article waiting for the answer of why birds cannot fly over the Everest. Of course that answer didn't came but I learned some interesting things from it. I'd like to see/read more such "So so stories", they're perfect for gainining basic awareness about a topic, bird lungs for example.
