  • 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.

  • The prosecutor argued that the murder of Shepard was premeditated and driven by greed

    McKinney's girlfriend told police that he had been motivated by anti-gay sentiment but later recanted her statement, saying that she had lied because she thought it would help him.

    Price said she had lied to police about McKinney having been provoked by an unwanted sexual advance from Shepard, telling TV journalist Elizabeth Vargas, "I don't think it was a hate crime at all."[9][37] Rerucha said, "It was a murder that was once again driven by drugs."[9]

    Doesn't seem to be a hatecrime. Just a crime against someone that happened to be gay.

  • Barely related, but in Dutch, it's called "Informatica", which is a much better name than "Computer Science". "Computer Science" is like called Astronomy "Telescope Science".

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • No, I called her standard nigh impeccable, which should be the default. Having a dead bug is not "nigh impeccable".

    Which part of my previous comment caused the confusion? Because now I'm confused on why people misunderstand my comment.

  • I’ll just be accused of mansplaining

    Have you actually been accused, or are you afraid of being accused? Because in reality, most people don't give two shits about the idea of "mansplaining".

  • 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.

  • Wild that Reddit's creation is closer to the start of the Eternal September than it is to today (19 years).

  • Good. Super-fast growth fucks with local internet culture. Look at what happened to reddit when digg died.

  • there aren’t role models

    What would you expect from a "role model"? Just a person who does good for its own sake? Doing so would be something that's not publicized, so it's hard to show off good behaviour.

    Robin Williams was always a standup guy, Keanu Reeves seems like a nice guy, Ryan Reynolds seems to be a standup guy (but he has a hard monetary incentive to keep this image), the guys from Cinema Therapy seem to be decent. Do these people count as role models?

  • Yeah, it's Bandit. It's one of those series that you can watch as an adult. It's great. If they ever stop making it, I'm going to riot.

  • He did a bad job.

    Sounds like his parents did a bad job at raising him.

    You should probably align with him on what "clean" means. It probably means "cleaner" to him, whereas you meant "nigh impeccable" - your definition isn't bad; there's just a mismatch between both your understanding.

  • Moeras-Duits is ook Duits, toch?

  • I blame Digg for failing. It increased Reddit's popularity too fast, which was a bad thing bringing too many people, fucking up the culture reddit had built (which wasn't much, but it was ours).

  • It's a containment site; has been for a while.
