and no possibility of (a lack of) trailing comma’s. Unless you use JSON inside Yaml, you heathens!
Depends on the data structure. If you want to save a table of sorts, you’re getting a bunch of unreadable [[[]]] nonsense.
For flat structures it’s great though.
That lack of trailing comma has been the bane of my existence.
People are working on making S-Expressions a standard: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rivest-sexp/
Note: This is just a draft, but improvements have been happening since 2023.
I probably won’t like the parentheses, but I think I’ll take it over yaml/json/whateverelse.
YAML is fine if you use a subset (don’t use the advanced features - not like you know those anyway) and use explicit strings (always add "
to strings), otherwise things may be cast when you did not intend values to be cast.
Example:
country: NO
(Norway) will be cast to country: False
, because it’ll cast no
(regardless from casing) to false
, and yes
to true
.
country: "NO"
should not be cast.
people jumped ship to Reddit because it was better.
People jumped ship because Digg turned into complete and utter garbage, and Reddit wasn’t completely awful. It was a weird site though, 100%.
Digg would’ve been fine had they not forced Digg v4 on users.
What’s a good voice-chat alternative then?
Alas it’s not my site (and I think it’s meant to be read on a desktop screen), so I can’t fix it.
For the newbies: RFC 3339 vs ISO 8601. Bookmark this site.
YAML is complex and has security concerns most people are not aware of.
YAML is racist to Norwegians.
If you have something like country: NO
(NO = Norway), YAML will turn that into country: False
. Why? Implicit casting. There are a bunch of truthy strings that’ll be cast automagically.
We used to say that people who made vertical videos had Vertical Video Syndrome. It was a terrible time.
This blog is my favorite Linux blog!
I love Robert and his YT antics - his whole “The X command is my favourite Linux command!” shtick was both funny AND informative!
Wasn’t talking about that, but OK Boomer.

I wish they had a section for query languages. Too many people only know about SQL, which being based on the Relational Model is rather powerful, except crappily implemented due to inconsistencies in the language. We need alternatives.
SmarterEveryDay is nice too, though that’s more focused on engineering stuff.
The older generation survived 4chan and worse. We’ll be fine.
Wendell is a leftist. His current newest video has him say that.
And lack of trailing comma’s
