You've got 3936 problems, but a warning potentially fixable with the

$deity fuck!
You've got 3936 problems, but a warning potentially fixable with the
--fix
option ain't one.Half of the errors are "hey fucker! You're supposed to be using just LF and not CRLF!" for each line in the file, the other half "hey fucker, you're supposed to camel toe anything you name!" and the other half is "hey asshole why did you put a parenthesis on a new line (that we split up a function declaration across multiple lines for you hthhandkthxbye"
Seriously, it fucked the hell out of my code, really should have committed everything before naively adding the package whereupon it apparently immediately went through all of the files touching things in a bad way....

Yeah, some stuff takes longer than the rest. You're necessarily on at least a bit of a delay, which is sort-of being filled in by estimations. However, small and badly done bits of UI can go unseen for quite some time, and of course, it takes special training to see even a reference to

It won't go much higher (profiteering excluded). Aramco's announced that they're upping production. They don't want sustained super-high prices as that'd fund a lot of capital investments by competitors; last time that happened, they took a big bath from all the fracking in the US.

Unpopular Opinion: YAML sucks worse than JSON.

Sure, it's less verbose. But (even though I like python) significant whitespace? And the difference between a list-type and an object type just being

(or not)? Gotten bitten by that too many times. At least JSON has clear scoping and is forgiving.Unless, of course, you're Liquibase, in which case your custom JSON parser barfs on tab characters instead of spaces. Even has a handy error message saying so! And requires writing things with all the newlines (which I don't mind, but that's not in the JSON spec anywhere). Don't be Liquibase.

That's neither unpopular nor an opinion. Most editors read the file extension and use the correct whitespace when tabbing now so it's not as awful as it use to be. yamllint is also quite handy for detecting basic errors.
You want an unpopular opinion. XML with an editor that enforces the XLD (always get that wrong) would make writing config a lot easier.

But not make reading it easier. XML is great for computers (if a bit verbose for network communications), but painful for humans.
And having suffered through trying to figure out what's going on in certain XML files...ugh. And XSDs are even worse to try to understand.

Depends. Are you writing config files or a data interchange format? YAML's OK for the former, but very horrible for the latter; the issue is that YAML has a very large number of different ways to write something, some of which are quite gnarly, whereas JSON doesn't really (except for the amount of spacing you use and the order you happen to put the keys in, which isn't supposed to matter).
For example, the fact that you can write recursive structures in YAML isn't a big deal for a config file. You wouldn't write that sort of thing, and you wouldn't willingly let some arbitrary script kiddie on the internet write your config files. (Unless you use npm.) By comparison, JSON has almost nothing truly evil in it, but is more annoying to write by hand.

All schemas for complex document formats are difficult to understand, and often have edge cases where you have to just read the human-readable part of the spec to pick up all the side conditions.
Yes, I've written schemas for a few document types and in a few formats. Writing schemas is more difficult than reading them.

Speaking of which, while I can get an automated tool to write the JSON schema (don't laugh...ok, go ahead) for one of my pet projects' config files, I still haven't figured out how to tell Visual Studio to actually use it, even for syntax highlighting purposes. The dropdown just contains a bunch of internet-sourced ones, with no way I can find to specify my own local file.

@error It appears the worst of the storm has passed us. We're still under a watch until 22:00 (it's not quite 19:00 now), but the forecast radar images don't show anything major heading toward us. There were actual tornadoes within 10–20 miles, though, all downwind of us, but I haven't heard whether any of them touched down.

The radar forecast lied.

Yes, they did. And they did a fair bit of damage, I guess. I'm not quite sure how much. Here's a report with videos from the Austin area.
