My opinion only: I love JSON because it lacks so many foot guns of yaml. If you’re doing lots of clever stuff with yaml you probably want a scripting language instead. Django using Python for configs made me fall in love with this. Spending years with the unmitigated disaster that is ROS xml launchfiles and rosparams makes me love it even more.

Yaml and toml are fine if you keep it simple. JSON direly needs comments support (but of course wasn’t designed to be used as a human config file format so that’s kind of on us). And not just “Jsonc that sometimes might work in places.”

Beyond that, I think we generally have all the things we need and I don’t personally think we need yet another yaml. =)
I hope I'm not alone in thinking this sounds like an out-of-touch dystopian nightmare.
Ditto on the hardware token. This SSH signing thing looks to require an actual file in the file system, which is a complete non-starter to those of us who don't keep our keys in ~/.ssh/id_* files.

> you serve an economy because if you don't, you starve

Sounds like a problem with the economy. Economies are human constructs. With enough consensus they can be shaped in different ways. Quantitive easing is one instrument, but still very much within the rules. The rules can be bent further with consensus

> The government stepping in and saying "NOPE! WE KNOW BEST!" and then basically forcing every citizen to restructure their lives for something that couldn't even remotely be contained just shows the abuse of power.

Mask mandates and lockdowns in some western democracies outside of the US have worked exceedingly well, but they by-in-large had less quarrelsome (and smaller) populations

> The majority of the COVID deaths can be attributed to the old, obese, and sickly people. But most institutions serve people outside of that set.

It seems you largely agree that there's a moral dimension here. You may not agree there's malleability to how an economy functions - but once again, economies are a part of the social compact. If people decide that their parents, their kids' grandparents, the immunocompromised, etc. are worth saving, they may hold a different view than sheer social darwinism
It's amazing to see people still buying into the idea that the vaccine or lock-downs will stop Covid from spreading. It's an endemic coronovirus, it will be around forever. People that want the vaccine (that doesn't prevent covid infection) can get it. Why destroy civilization to achieve less than nothing?

If it supposedly lessens effects if you get infected, why is there such controversy of worrying about those that don't want it?

The people filling the hospitals, which has consistently been overstated in magnitude, are obese/overweight and with other co-morbidities. For vast majority of Covid cases the symptoms are nothing to worry about. The risk of dying from under 50 is like 0.1% or better if not overweight.

This is an extreme modern aversion to any risk that would desire society grind itself to a halt forever and fight pointless mandate battles towards inevitable political chaos instead of just moving on with life.

The point is that upfront investment cost of developing industry specific carbon neutral solution doesn't have uniform ROI and can be (either economically or politically) quite expensive or sometime infeasible. This is an extremely long tail problem and we do need a more general solution applicable even after we exhausted all the low hanging fruits. This is what "upper bound" means in the parent post. So in the ideal scenario, it's more like we eliminate 80% of low hanging emission sources, significant reduce 15% of them and negate the rest with carbon removal to achieve carbon neutrality.

In addition to this, removing historical accumulated carbon is also pretty important. The expected cumulative damage at the point of 2050 will be catastrophic even in the most optimistic projection.
I'm normally skeptical of journals funded by article processing charges (APCs), but this policy is pretty good:

Most APC-charging journals (like the Nature family) have a weaker waiver policy, where they only promise waivers to authors from developing countries, and say they may consider others "on a case-by-case basis" but with no guarantees.
The introduction keeps citing "no need for escaping or quoting" as a major advantage, but provides no examples of what a key with a colon, or value beginning with "[", or any datum with leading or trailing whitespace would look like.

This is an asylum/immigration crisis and EU is a group of countries whose views on asylum and immigration politics are very divergent.

It is likely that the current model of (ab)using asylum laws to facilitate mass migration into the richest EU countries is unsustainable, but any viable reform of the status quo will still hit against the Scylla and Charybda of "we do not want any more third-worlders of unclear identity here" (basically the Polish or Danish position) vs. "it is our duty to seriously process and examine every single asylum application even if we cannot return rejected applicants to their countries of origin" (the German position).
Yeah, I used to use TST (well, Sidebery) but have recently switched it off in an effort to curb my tabs (along with session restoration; now, it's a fresh browser every time, so I actually make the effort to archive something rather than leave it to linger forever).

I was unaware TST had an archive to Markdown feature though (just found the ticket in https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/issues/1274) -- that's really really cool, and is something I'll try out! I think what I really want is "bookmark _with notes_", and that'd give me that, much like BrainTool would.

As usual it really depends on what you individually are referring to when you use the words "self-awareness" or "free will". Even "illusion" in this context could refer to something other than what you might expect. It really muddies the waters when seeking clarity on these questions, as it often seems like people don't even agree on the referent in the first place.

Based on your description this view sounds like it would be in the wheelhouse of the likes of Dan Dennett and Keith Frankish, the latter of which argues for a view called Illusionism [0]. Just note in this case "illusion" doesn't mean "not real", but more like "isn't what you think it is".

With the way capitalism works there'll be a lot more takers to solve a harder but more measurable problem that someone will pay them for (remove the CO2 we'll pay by the ton) than there will be to solve a less measurable problem (prevent CO2 being released generally). Perverse incentives for sure but within the existing parameters likely more effective.

Y'know that eventually we'll be running everything off Intel's Optane non-volatile RAM: we won't have block-addressable storage anymore, everything will be directly byte-addressable. All of the storage abstractions that have popped-up over the past decades (tracks, heads, cylinders, ew, block-addressing, unnecessarily large block sizes, etc) will be obsolete because we'll already have perfect-storage.

It's not quite DASD, but it's much better.

Everything we observe goes through our first-person-perspective, therefore there's no such thing as a "scientific" POV. We come to consensus, true, but it's still through first-person-experiential phenomena, and not some kind of external "science" validator.

Author seems to use misfeatures of a particular implementation to tar all implementations with. The round-tripping issue is not a statement about YAML as a markup language, much in the way a rendering bug in Firefox is not a statement about the web.

Stepping back a bit, YAML is good enough, and this problem has been incrementally bikeshedded since at least the 1970s, it is time to move on. Human-convenient interfaces (like YAML, bash, perl) are fundamentally messy because we are messy. They're prone to opinion and style, as if replacing some part or other will make the high level problem (that's us) go away. Fretting over perfection in UI is an utterly pointless waste of time.

I don't know what NestedText is and find it very difficulty to care, there are far more important problems in life to be concerned with than yet another incremental retake on serialization. I find it hard to consider contributions like this to be helpful or represent progress in any way.

I haven't found "this needs to be indented exactly the right amount or it won't work" to be much easier for non-programmers than "this needs to be enclosed in braces or it won't work." Most people have at least experienced parentheses in math (albeit maybe decades ago), so it's not an entirely foreign concept. Either one requires a bit of learning, but I think most people are capable of it, so any improvement in non-coder familiarity seems minor at best, vs. the very real costs.

I also started advocating in-language configuration files (Python for Python, but also Lua for Lua, etc) a number of years ago because it lets you do really useful things (like functionally generating values, importing shared subsets of data, storing executable references, and ensuring that two keys return the same values without manual copy/paste) all without needing to spec and use Yet Another Thing™ that does only a fraction of what the programming language you're already using already does.
It could never be less expensive in the same way a a sled will continue to slide forever on a frictionless surface: theoretically.

Material limitations, and technical limitations may make it cheaper practically.

As an example, let's look at rockets. Which is cheaper, removing the CO2 after release, or developing switching technologies, for instance, to using O2 and H. Well, for certain applications, where the energy density and logistics of the fuel matter, pulling the CO2 out afterwards makes more sense.

Now, yes, that is a small example, but my point is just to show thermodynamic efficiency doesn't translate directly to cost effectiveness for all applications.
> NestedText only supports three data types (strings, lists and dictionaries)...

No numbers? Looks nice otherwise, but this seems like a very weird decision.
