Google Analytics by itself is lightweight, but if you're at a large company with a marketing department, my experience has been that it never stops there. We've got pages with literally dozens of third-party Javascript trackers, a

The gp isn't talking about YAML in itself, they're talking about YAML as it's used by mainstream CI systems. Github Actions, for example, encodes conditionals, functions, and a whole lot of other language elements in its YAML

You are certainly correct that weak social ties can aggravate health problems, but there's no indication that was the case with Nietzsche. The median onset of stroke in people with CADASIL is 50 years[1], but Nietzsche was 53 or 54 whe
