Alright, the YAML spec is a dang mess, that I’ll grant you, but it seems pretty easy for my human eyes to read and write. As for JSON – seriously? That’s probably the easiest to parse human-readable structured data format there is!

I see Programmer humor lemmy is continuing the fine r/programmerhumor tradition of non programmers posting vaguely technology related memes that have dick all to do with programming

Some data formats are easy for humans to read but difficult for computers to efficiently parse. Others, like packed binary data, are dead simple for computers to parse but borderline impossible for a human to read.

XML bucks this trend and bravely proves that data formats do not have to be one or the other by somehow managing to be bad at both.

That, though, raises another question, because if the conspiracy theories are so easy to debunk that no rational person believes them, why worry about their existence? Unless the population is majority conspiracy theorists.

As for the church being ashamed to have a goblin in their ranks. She summoned an angel, presumably without outside help. Have the church very publicly say she’s a wonderful spellcaster and a pillar of community and they’re proud to have her in their ranks, doubly so after this generous contribution of much-needed funds. End of problem.

yunno, on second thought, maybe i don’t want to be using a social platform where communism is the default stance

…isn’t…all of that a reason why she’s not a disposable scapegoat? Isn’t the fact that she’s a public figure the best possible refutation of any of the criticisms just listed?

always nice seeing a fellow Bill Wurtz fan

woman with vaccine microchip coming in for a software update

It doesn’t make cents, it makes dollars

We want sandboxing! No, we want attestation!

Fun fact: Python is not named after an animal! It’s named after the comedy group Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

Here you go

As you say, though, the developers have given us the tools with which to create our own houses. Why do you say it’s their house?

i have a hard enough time finding places on lemmy that aren’t that

arguments are wasted on these people

I like the idea of a plug-and-play emulation station in a retro-styled case, but that case design is copyright infringement territory. Emulation devices are on shaky enough legal ground as it is, we do not need to tempt fate

not OP but I’m here to confirm the Android version of Krita really sucks ass, especially on phones. It’s a direct port of the desktop version, windows and all, and if a window is too big to fit on the screen, tough luck. switch back to portrait and hope it works there. Krita is also very CPU bound and on my Pixel 7a there is almost a full second of lag between my stylus on the screen and the line I drew actually showing up.

do you think the US president has control over whether or not a ceasefire happens on the other side of the planet

I’d heard “everyone who disagrees with me is a bot” before, but I gotta say, “everyone who disagrees with me is an agent of the US federal government” is a new one.
