So, a new not-a-markup-language, only human readable and editable, and objectively better than its predecessor? Well, it’s all according to tradition. I believe YAML got its start the same way.

YAML to JSON is probably doable, JSON back to YAML not so much.
There are multiple ways to mark multiline strings in YAML. Then there are anchors, like bionicjoey mentioned. Also comments, YAML has them. You’d have to have some way to retain the extra information, if you want to make the full round trip.
Here’s an example:
def-db: &def-db
# here be dragons
login: admin
passwd: nimda
prod:
db: *def-db
desc: |
I'm a teapot
short and stout
dev:
db:
<<: *def-db
passwd: pass
desc: "I'm a teapot\nshort and stout\n"
converted to JSON looks like this
{
"def-db": {
"login": "admin",
"passwd": "nimda"
},
"prod": {
"db": {
"login": "admin",
"passwd": "nimda"
},
"desc": "I'm a teapot\nshort and stout\n"
},
"dev": {
"db": {
"login": "admin",
"passwd": "pass"
},
"desc": "I'm a teapot\nshort and stout\n"
}
}
I almost got a bingo by checking off things I’ve muttered to myself.
The inverse is often true thanks to Linus’s Law.
The article you linked seems to suggest that Linus’s Law is a mere suggestion, at best.
No one is suggesting that open source is inherently less secure, just that the vulnerabilities are easier to find, and thus easier to get exploited. For a third party reviewer there’s a lot of incentive not to report bugs they would find in banking software.
If your software makes your clients’ life easier and your internal operations cheaper/faster/whatever, it’s a competitive advantage. Why would you give it away? Corporate greed or healthy competition, I suppose, depending on your point of view.
Distro developers were notified a month ago. At least Redhat and Debian have have published fixed versions. This is common procedure.
I thought box on wheels was 70’s and 80’s. The same era when sports cars were doorstops on wheels. And by all gods, they were hideous.
Hen tai literally means ‘weird appearance’. Hentai van is weird looking, usually Japanese van, for example Nissan S-Cargo.
Not OP, but I kinda agree with them.
Teams are abstract, it’s easier to project your own ideals on to them. Not completely unlike respecting the office, even if loathing the politician currently holding it. It becomes “our thing”.
Also teams have longevity, or at least potential for longevity. Where I live, the two major local ice-hockey teams are founded in 1928 and 1967. There are families with generations of fans. Athlete’s career could be over in a decade.
