🔏 Matthias WiesmannPeople keep reinventing serialisation, generally badly. A year ago I proposed my own as a joke:

What I find fascinating, is that I keep seing proposals which are probably worse…

I used to not like JSON-LD. And then I got exposed to CBOR. And, since then, I ended up liking JSON-LD more than I did before.

...
I was looking for performant ways of storing JSON-LD data, so that it can be looked up, queried, etc.
CBOR might actually be a way of doing that.
...
For me that is an odd realization given me liking JSON-LD is a reaction to CBOR.

OH: "I didn't like JSON-LD, but then I saw CBOR, and now I like JSON-LD much better"

Watched @pid_eins #fosdem2026 presentation record about #Varlink. I think the idea is good, except it should use some binary protocol for communication between services. RFC 8949 #CBOR seems like excellent candidate. Text serialization is not necessary if human is never direct part of a pipeline. Data conversion is not slow, but not necessary between localhost- only services.
chrysnThe sign is a lie (and they knew that advance: train goes only to Köln), but still on my way to #FOSDEM.
Happy any time to talk about #CoAP, #CBOR, #DectNrPlus, IoT security and embedded Rust development, especially on @ariel and @RIOT_OS.
Olivier LangellaHello #Proteomics !
Thinking about a better mzML to store proteomics data, but not convinced by the #parquet approach, I've converted it into #CBOR :
* Smaller data files (only 66% of the mzML original file) for the exact same data
* Faster to read (25s for a big mzML vs 18s in mzcbor on the same computer)
* Very quick random access to spectra (24.6577 ms for mzML vs 786.731 μs for mzcbor for the same operation using index)
I'd like to share it if you are interested at #eubIC #eubic2026
HabrПроектируем как синьор: универсальная бинаризация
Здравствуйте, меня зовут Дмитрий Карловский и я.. да не важно кто я. Важно о чём я говорю, и как аргументирую. Кто меня знает, тому и не надо рассказывать. А кто не знает — у того есть прекрасная возможность подойти к вопросу с чистым разумом. А это крайне важно, если мы хотим спроектировать что-то по настоящему хорошо, а не как обычно. Что ещё за VaryPack?
JSON? JSONB? BSON? CBOR? MsgPack? А, VaryPackǃ
VaryPack - новый, простой, гибкий, шустрый и компактный формат бинарной сериализации произвольных данных. Что за модная тема?
@lambdageek That's a good observation, and helps me express the troubles I face using it with idiomathc #CBOR
