Един от загиналите полицаи - годеник на криминална репортерка, не е навършил 30 г.**
Един от загиналите полицаи - годеник на криминална репортерка, не е навършил 30 г. Йордан Илиев и старши полицай Атанас Галев са загиналите полицаи в Бургас, каза в "Денят започна" журналистът Катя Касабова, която лично ги познава. Йордан Илиев е годеник на нейна колежка \\- криминална репортерка от сайта "Флагман".

Xfce does one thing very right: It stores its settings in plain-text XML files. This allows me to easily read, track, and maybe even distribute these settings to other machines.

(Unlike GNOME’s dconf, which uses some binary file format. Fun fact: The older and now deprecated gconf also used XML files.)

@movq XML is so terrifying but kinda underrated tbh

@kat I kind of like XML because it’s mostly well-defined and easy for humans to read (unlike YAML, which is a complete mess, imho) … and at the same time, it can get complicated really fast. 🫤 But at least it’s plain-text – that’s the important part in this case. 😅

@movq omg YAML is so demonic like it pretends to be readable and then THE SPACING. THE FUCKING SPACING

@movq @kat Any text format beats a binary configuration format. However, YAML and XML are both terrible choices in my opinion. I'd prefer YAML over XML if I had to.
@lyse yeah same YAML over XML forever bc at least one is more readable lmfao!! doesn't forgive YAML's crimes though... cursed formats

@lyse @kat I spent so much time in the past figuring out if something is a dict or a list in YAML, for example.

What are the types in this example?

items:
- part_no: A4786
descrip: Water Bucket (Filled)
price: 1.47
quantity: 4
- part_no: E1628
descrip: High Heeled "Ruby" Slippers
size: 8
price: 133.7
quantity: 1

items is a dict containing … a list of two other dicts? Right?

It is quite hard for me to grasp the *structure* of YAML docs. 😢

The big advantage of YAML (and JSON and TOML) is that it’s much easier to write code for those formats, than it is with XML. json.loads() and you’re done.

@movq I found it quite easy to mentally parse this structure.
@lyse So it might just be what the youngsters call a “skill issue”? 😅

@movq OH MY GOD YEAH and you know what kills me??? the fucking key value pairs in lists!!! who the fuck thought of this syntax?!?!

@movq @kat I'm just used to it because I deal with such things all the time. :-)
Look at that, a mate just told me: What if YAML had even more security issues!? YAMLScript! https://yamlscript.org/doc/cheat/
