I was wondering instead what their dating method would do with old sand that had been dug up and quickly buried during the construction. Does a very short exposure to sun reset the mineral signature they are looking at? If not, then the structure could be much newer then the last time the sand spent an extended time in the sun. In fact, if the sand digging and moving happened in the evening to avoid the heat of the sun then the sand may have been dug up and used while never being exposed to the sun.

I'm not familiar with a physical Amazon bookstore. Do they already have your details, to be able to sign you up like that? Were the people able to say no to the trial?

It's hard for me to imagine giving online details in a physical store. Here when I'm sometimes asked if they can have my email address to send a receipt I simply say no.

Except he didn't use a number type, or at least didn't think he was: YAML allows you to write strings without quoting them, and has heuristics to decide if an unquoted thing is a string or something else.

For another example: YAML 1.1 would treat "yes and "no" as boolean true and false. I've heard this called the "Norway Problem":

country: no

Whoops. I had never actually considered the issue in the article, and I wonder if I've ever made a similar mistake with numbers and didn't realize it.

Honestly I think I would be fine with YAML if strings were required to be quoted. Yes, that would make things a tiny bit more verbose, but it would remove a big footgun.
That's a good question and I'm wondering the same. Seems like a raw deal for air traffic controllers.

IIRC YAML was indeed designed as a serialization format. I thought it was originally a Ruby thing, but the Wikipedia page for it doesn't confirm that.

Agree that it's not a great serialization format, though...
maintenance burden has to be felt somewhere. it's nice when the vendor does it for you.
And a lot more confusion than either? If I'm understanding correctly, this is a valid map:

Physics was also philosophy for eons in that theories were on par with hard knowledge about the gods and mermaids.

This has been the case for the past decade though, still no reason to keep money in India except pocket change for local expenses.

> It's not YAML's fault they didn't quote their numerical strings.

Yes, it is. If you design a format in such a way that type parsing is ambiguous, or in this case "keep trying to parse it over and over, starting with the most restrictive option and working your way down", people are going to commit errors. That's just life.

I would absolutely love it if YAML parsers supported a mode where quoting your strings was required. Or, while I'm wishing: a new YAML version that requires that (even though that's impossible to do backward-compatibly without yucky things like having to specify the YAML version in the document itself).

But I do still use YAML for config files, because there's enough about the other options that I don't like even more than YAML.
> What makes Organic Maps better?
> I’m not sure I would believe that base map correctness or POIs could ever be better though.

You'll be surprised. I cannot speak for Organic Maps, but I can speak for OSMand tested for years in Germany and Japan. Same OSM data at the end of the day. Even today, OSMand distinguishes better between building blocks. I see subdivisions of address numbers, which Google Maps hides with it's minimalist grey for the whole apartment block design.

Further more, I often see small walkways and paths simply not represented in Google Maps, whereas they are in Google Maps. And for some reason, here in Japan Google Maps often suggests too-clever for its own good detours, which end up being way slower, whereas OSMand with it's simpler(?) navigation algorithm sticks to more consistent routes along bigger roads.

If address and POI search could be further improved, I wouldn't see a reason to use Google Maps ever again.

Regardless of what it was meant for, it's a worse serialization format than it is a configuration format, despite its warts.
This is the reasoning model for modern empiricists:

1. Make a baseless a-priori claim that mistakes what we have evidence of to be the bounded set of what is:
'We have not discovered any social mechanisms in beavers to transmit knowledge across time and space' is transfigurated into 'No social mechanisms exist in beavers to transmit knowledge'

Similarly, having not yet discovered a single reason for my wife to be upset with me, I must recognize that she doesn't have any.

2. Invent a false dichotomy, with one option being totally absurd, the other being your pet theory.

3. Settle on your preconceived notion.

Is it ever possible to transmit knowledge, or anything for that matter not across time and space?

The value of a bluff - and the value of a hand - is all about what's in the pot. I made clear that my integrity and my life were worth a lot more than whatever fraction of $10k a crooked dealer would've gotten. There are plenty of guys who might try to do something like that for $5k, but I'm not one of them.

I'm sure the doubt remained. What you wrote kind of reinforces my point that it's very hard to be sure that an expensive mistake was an honest mistake.

Personally, though, I didn't quit to try to double-bluff. I'm a self-preservationist. I'm in the business of keeping myself alive, and I draw the line at working for someone who threatens me.

I'm aware that quitting could've seemed shady, but at that point it was the least of my worries. And I doubt it's the normal course of behavior, either, if someone were caught skimming. Someone who was guilty of malfeasance, who was offered to keep the job, would have almost certainly chosen to stay and lay low while finding some new way to scam them, because that person needs either the money or the frisson. I enjoyed 'em both but I didn't need either enough to risk my life on another accident.

Someone who lacks any trust will always find reasons to assume the worst, as you say. There's a bit of a corollary, though, in my experience, which is: People who choose to continue working around those people also mostly can't be trusted. And I feel like the trust-less parties are well aware of that.
Very helpful and interesting guide.

OpenWRT (what I use) also allows such interfacing using config files. It’s Linux anyway though.

I actually think that XML has some of the best tooling in the entire industry. The problem is: It's mostly commercial tooling, which costs money. Stuff like Oxygen or XMetaL is pretty neat, and I always found Visual Studio's "Create Web Client from SOAP" pretty useful (especially if the Web Service is written in .NET, since it auto-generates a proper WSDL file).
Which is especially problematic for config files where you want helpful hints or a place to store the “old value” while you do something else with the app. I have an app where I change a specific config almost every time I use it. I usually just copy the entire darn node and rename it to something that doesn’t get deserialized. Closest I can get to holding the value in a comment.
> No offense to the creator of YAML, but: The fact that it became one of the de-facto standards for cloud tooling is an absolutely damning statement about the state of the industry.

I think the creation and take-up of yaml over something like s-expressions is an indicator that the influential practionors in the cloud industry are all young and inexperienced.

If the creators of all these cloud tools display such poor judgment, it makes the tool itself suspect.
This kind of testing and feedback is important for Organic Maps. Good on the author for taking the time to evaluate, investigate, and file an issue on GitHub. It takes so much time, but is invaluable.

Still, as someone who has contributed tens of thousands of edits to OpenStreetMap, uploaded hundreds of GPS traces, donates to Organic Maps, and compiles the Organic Maps Android application from git master a few times a week, I constantly find myself wondering when it will finally be good enough that I won't second guess it.

I'm using it for site-search analytics. Originally I was using MariaDB but because we do search-as-you-type there's a complex aggregation query to identify the "real" searches, and with 1000 entries that was taking 10s of seconds to run. Materialized views would've fixed that but...

My stack is now JSON files containing the search data. At present I'm loading these into DuckDB and pre-aggregating due to a bug I found in DuckDB, not because it was needed for performance.
You can stop posting this over and over. We get it, you're adamant about using it only as a data serialization format.

I have a fair share of our story with Fat Fingers:

The Athlete's Glitch

Our client team had an amazing NFL season. But with the start of a new NFL season, but our NFL team was buzzing for a different reason – the unveiling of our off-season updates to the beloved iPad app used by one of the major NFL teams.

Our app, which was primarily used for training and past game analysis, had undergone a major overhaul, and we were proud of the sleek new UI/UX designs. But just as the athletes started to get into the grind of their training, our office started receiving some unexpected feedback.

"Hey! The app is taking me to the wrong sections!" one message read.

"I keep hitting the wrong button. Something's off," said another.

Confusion took over our team. We had spent months meticulously planning, designing, and testing these updates. Automated tests had been executed to perfection, internal testing hadn’t shown a single glitch. What was happening?

Then, a video came in. It was from a coach, showing one of the top athletes trying to use our app. We watched intently as his fingers moved over the screen. The problem became immediately apparent: his fingers, sculpted by years of athletic training and naturally larger than the average, were simply too big for our redesigned interface. Every time he tried to tap a specific function, his finger would unintentionally touch the adjacent ones.

Turns out, in our endeavor to create a sleeker, modern UI, we had inadvertently shrunk the size of the clickable buttons and packed them tightly in a grid. This might have looked aesthetically pleasing and worked perfectly for our testers, but for the athletes with their robust fingers, it was a recipe for frustration.

We convened an emergency meeting. Our lead designer, Marcus, broke the silence, "Our primary users are these athletes. We should've considered their physical attributes in our designs. It's my oversight."

Our project manager, Clara, nodded in agreement. "We need to fix this and roll out an update ASAP. We can't have the team struggling with this during their crucial training period."

The next few days were a blur of coding, designing, and testing. With feedback from some of the players, we reintroduced larger buttons and ensured enough space between them, all while maintaining the sleek look of our new design. It was a lesson learned the hard way, but it reiterated the importance of understanding our users' needs and physical attributes.

The next feedback we got was from the star quarterback, "Perfect! Back in the game with this. Thanks, TechTouch."

The NFL season kicked off with roaring crowds, and our app, now more user-friendly than ever, was right there with the athletes, assisting them every step of the way.

He does it twice though. Maybe you're right and I just haven't read enough or I was lazy when I previously encountered that word and didn't look it up.

I assume that the Svelte 5 output is smaller because more stuff is being handled internally by signals, rather than the compiled output. Does that mean that the shared "runtime" code is larger, or have you just managed to shrink everything down here?

My use of non-Windows PowerShell is mainly used to sanity checking scripts that are destined to run on Windows boxes, where I want to quickly check the semantics of certain OS agnostics behaviour without firing up a remote desktop to a Windows VM.

Running things like:

$my_bytes = @(Get-Content -AsByteStream -TotalCount 16 /dev/urandom)

PSDrive works the same as you would expect, including things like reading/manipulating ENV via the "Env:" PSDrive.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head that you can do in Bash that you couldn't do in PowerShell.
