JSON Cut; Math Proves Hardness
Summary
These foundational shifts in data standards and mathematical understanding directly influence future software architecture and computational limits.
- JSON Abandoned - Author switches from JSON due to data serialization overhead outweighing readability benefits 1.
- JXL Support Nears - JPEG XL support may return to Chrome, contrasting with current 17% usage via Safari 2.
- GNH Governs Bhutan - Bhutan continues prioritizing Gross National Happiness (GNH) over traditional GDP metrics for national success 3.
- Complexity Mapped - Reverse Mathematics technique precisely illustrates why certain computational problems resist efficient solutions 4.
- 4 - Total articles analyzed in this cluster concerning data formats and governance [1-4].
- 17% - Percentage of users accessing JPEG XL via Safari by late 2025 2.
- December 1, 2025 - Date associated with the JSON critique and the Reverse Mathematics article publication [1, 4].
Key Moments
-
I stopped using JSON for my APIs because the data serialization overhead outweighed the readability benefits.
— Article [1] -
JPEG XL remained unsupported by major browsers like Chrome, unlike AVIF, though 17% of users accessed it via Safari.
— Article [2] -
Bhutan... enshrining Gross National Happiness (GNH) as a guiding principle.
— Article [3] -
Researchers utilized the metamathematical technique known as 'Reverse Mathematics' to analyze hard problems.
— Article [4]
