You're right, sorry. Most typos should be fixed now. I made the translation into English in a rush and didn't think of running it through a spellcheck beforehand. Thanks for reminding me!

As explained in the text: the point isn't that these problems aren't solved by blockchain, they're amplified. E.g.: scams existed without blockchain, but now they're forever and permanently engraved into the blockchain. Code was always flawed, but now a bug isn't just a bug, it's a bug in a smart contract with potentially disastrous consequences that can never be properly fixed.

Obviously, if you just reimplement SVG in JSON it's not going to get better, there would be far more to it. And I'm a big fan of strong schemas, it's the best part of XML.

Wow. I'm unsure whether I should be impressed or horrified. I've added the link to the article, thank you.

You're absolutely right, it is always a trade-off. I've added a paragraph at the end of my article focused on that particular problem to address that: https://www.eisfunke.com/article/language-design-machine-or-...

Author here, for editing SVGs by hand I use VSCode (or VS Codium to be precise) with the SVG Viewer add-on in split-screen: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=cssho.vs...

Works pretty well as split screen editor. The preview refreshes on save with ctrl-S.

Yes, but SVG is not good as a machine-focused format as well, that's kind of the point.
Re:Simple WireGuard Docker network setup on Friday September 25, 2020 @04:01AM (#24587641)
It's simple compared to other solutions I found when writing the article, in my opinion (while I wasn't the one who put "simple" in the title here, my original title is different).

Anyway, take a look at the "Instructions in Short" section (I just added a button at the article beginning to jump to that section). You only have to fill in a few blanks (probably just copying from a wg-quick file you already have), add a few lines to your docker-compose file and then run docker compose up.

I think that's somwhat simple enough for a non-trivial task. I might write a script to do that automatically in the future (somebody in the article's discussion asked for that, by the way).

Re:Simple WireGuard Docker network setup on Friday September 25, 2020 @03:30AM (#24587458)
Note that when using docker-compose you don't need any manual docker network calls with my solution as well. The systemd-network and docker-compose files suffice.
