YAML is alright when you create it by hand. Problems start when YAML is templated, and frankly it's just dumb, though common. Templating the source without proper escaping could bite even with JSON.

just door to door "vote at home" canvassing with two guys armed with AK. I wonder how many people assumed nobody would check where the tick went on the ballot. There were videos.

Huh. Could you tell more on ways of sneaking up information to them? I personally am so undiplomatic I have hard time even to imagine, how to do it.

but because of sane notion of falsiness in ruby, it's easy to both always have a string on unchecked inputs "abc".slice(4, 10) || "" _and_ check those inputs in one go if needed. substr = "abc"

flipflop basically has a hidden boolean variable for state. Btw, while I HAD used it, i still have no idea what's the scope of that state and when it'd reset itself.

I'd too probably write it in Ruby using classes basically just as modules and not much else. It's totally fine using simple arrays and hashes in Ruby for data structures. For example, unlike in many other languages, board could be

seeing some genocidal tendencies in the current world, I sometimes think that maybe, just maybe ancient laws were not dictating the minimal possible punishment, but actually limited it. Like "Kill only you, not all your family". o

if foo is a method then `foo + bar` and `foo+bar` are `foo()+bar`, but `foo +bar` is `foo(+bar)` ternary ? : also has some interesting whitespace dependent mixups with symbols, but I cannot remember what. I think that parser has many gotcha

I love ruby, and I'm using it for 18 years, but I've spent half a year on chef a decade ago and it was one of the worst wastes of time I had ever. Nothing to do with the language, everything to do with architecture of the thing.

I sometimes wonder why we don't see ruby used for shell stuff more often. It inherited most of the good stuff for shell scripting from Perl, and Perl took a lot of it's syntax from sh and sed and awk, so almost anything you can do

I wonder, how it is usually spinned? I'm asking as Russian and I see direct evidence of how people who grew up in the constant narrative "fascism is awful, that war was important, our grandparents are heroes" also, it seems,

"norton commander" shell had a user defined menu where you could create short scripts, basically just a chain of DOS commands. As a fellow teenager with no Internet access, I've made a "game" submenu which replaced

not many languages go that far as to allow to redefine what "call" is/does, for example. Though, some do. "Baba is you" is pretty cool, it is not only about changing rules, it also at some point plays with what lang

well, people are different. I feel like I have narrator voice for the code, not exactly the same way books do, but still something similar. Also when I'm trying to read code I feel distracted and annoyed by any background noise where I

That's actually reassuring to hear, thank you. I'll take a look on recent changes in sorbet, I don't even remember where I've seen that "feature complete" remark, maybe I'm just imagined it. I'd love
