It’s why I never got into python

I’m only being pedantic. Toml is not bad. Yaml I personally don’t like because I don’t approve of semantically required whitespace but I know I’m in the minority there.

• It’s not the norm in smaller companies, but big companies can use config servers where an app will retrieve its config on startup over the network. To be fair, I think they fall back to a platform specific encoding though.
• Better hope it’s built in. I don’t remember the last time I verified a Content-Length was accurate. Also this generally applies to networking; disk writes don’t get this same verification especially if a process is killed mid-write.
• True point, no real notes. I’ve recently been dealing with streaming JSON for AI, it’s SOO verbose for the few tokens that come across in each message. I don’t know how gRPC wasn’t chosen, or at least made an option, but oh well.

You make good, valid points and I know I’m talking about edge cases that require the stars to align to break. It reminds me of an old, not-quite-relevant-but-oh-well saying “a ‘one in a million’ chance at 1GHz happens every millisecond.” The law of large numbers isn’t always on our side.

Not-so-fun fact: if you’re transferring a yaml or toml file and the transfer is incomplete, the receiving app may not even know! Yaml and toml both have a good chance of being apparently valid when cut off randomly. This doesn’t impact JSON because of the enclosing {} or [].

My water company has started doing this thing where they email you a pdf that’s been encrypted by your zip code and inside is a form you fill out AND HIT SEND to pay your bill.

Absolutely do not trust it.

Artificial artificial intelligence

That sounds like Bezos’s personal stash then.

Roller Coaster Tycoon came out in 1999 but I notice it didn’t come preinstalled on Mint. Is my install broken? /s
