This is somebody who bends over backwards to support a single idea: humans can do no wrong. It’s not fascism because it doesn’t sound like there’s any side-taking or specific ideology they favor over others. They might be a flavor of anarchist?

The lack of empathy leads me to think that the ideology was built one selfish brick at a time. It’s a response to the world, not a governance of it. They want zero responsibilities derived from the actions of others. To a degree, they may have a point: inaction is allowance. If you don’t stop something from happening, you’re allowing it but it’s lacking a lot of nuance. If you accept it as it is, there’s no room for obligation. That’s freeing which is probably their end goal. Not a good society, but a simple escape from responsibilities.

It’s a self-serving ideology.

It shouldn’t have to be a privilege to be able to turn down a job because of poor decisions management makes, but you can really only get away with this if you have options.

I’m only being pedantic. Toml is not bad. Yaml I personally don’t like because I don’t approve of semantically required whitespace but I know I’m in the minority there.

• It’s not the norm in smaller companies, but big companies can use config servers where an app will retrieve its config on startup over the network. To be fair, I think they fall back to a platform specific encoding though.
• Better hope it’s built in. I don’t remember the last time I verified a Content-Length was accurate. Also this generally applies to networking; disk writes don’t get this same verification especially if a process is killed mid-write.
• True point, no real notes. I’ve recently been dealing with streaming JSON for AI, it’s SOO verbose for the few tokens that come across in each message. I don’t know how gRPC wasn’t chosen, or at least made an option, but oh well.

You make good, valid points and I know I’m talking about edge cases that require the stars to align to break. It reminds me of an old, not-quite-relevant-but-oh-well saying “a ‘one in a million’ chance at 1GHz happens every millisecond.” The law of large numbers isn’t always on our side.

Not-so-fun fact: if you’re transferring a yaml or toml file and the transfer is incomplete, the receiving app may not even know! Yaml and toml both have a good chance of being apparently valid when cut off randomly. This doesn’t impact JSON because of the enclosing {} or [].

You can waste time here too. Ask me how I know.

All my dreams for Control 2 just went up in smoke

Roller Coaster Tycoon came out in 1999 but I notice it didn’t come preinstalled on Mint. Is my install broken? /s
