FFS!
Edit: Now that I've visited it (and the actual Zillow link, below), it actually doesn't seem to be that bad, I'd take it!

I mean, if your standards are low enough to live in Athens, why not blow megabuxx for living in an apartment of all closets.Maybe you can sublet the closets for $75/mo each and come out ok.

You know, it never occurred to me to charge for regeneration alcove usage...

Some of these may have been posted here before.

@yamikuronue said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
@masonwheeler I liked the idea behind yaml, just like the idea behind markdown is good. But yaml is super picky about spaces, because it has to be -- it looks human readable, but is actually a very strictly parsed language. So you have one extra space or one too few somewhere in the middle of a 100-line config file, and you have to guess at where it is, because you won't get an intelligible error. A missing space or an extra space will give you "Error while parsing a block mapping" or worse "Error expected <block end>, but found '<block mapping start>'"
In Ansible, you'll get some gibberish failure to parse error that has no relation to where you're looking, but in Rancher, you just get an error with no explanation. The Rancher catalog is a yaml-based system where if it can't parse a specific version, it just doesn't show up; Docker-compose just barfs with "invalid compose file" or some such when that part's screwed up. Who wants to go space-hunting in the middle of a failed deploy? Not fun.
I have to run everything through a linter before I save it these days. What's really insidious is that it tries to guess what your indent style is, then holds you to that strictly. So from file to file the indents might be totally different, and we're never quite sure if it's significant or not.
So basically, all those times you try to markdown something and it comes out wrong and you have to go back and fix it, but in your application-parsed config file with terrible errors.
IIRC way back when we first made sockmafia, we had a config issue like that with someone. Couldn't figure out what the hell was happening, but eventually traced it down to a whitespace issue. Up until then I thought YAML was a neat idea, but that soured me on the implementation.
The YAML page has gotten nicer, but its very first line hints very strongly at the problem:
Below is an example of an invoice expressed via YAML(tm). Structure is shown through indentation (one or more spaces). Sequence items are denoted by a dash, and key value pairs within a map are separated by a colon.
One space is a terrible minimum. At least they chose to only allow one whitespace character:
Tabs have been outlawed since they are treated differently by different editors and tools. And since indentation is so critical to proper interpretation of YAML, this issue is just too tricky to even attempt. Indeed Guido van Rossum of Python has acknowledged that allowing TABs in Python source is a headache for many people and that were he to design Python again, he would forbid them.

Out of curiosity, how many people actually code like that, on a laptop with no additional screens? I mean, I get it if you're travelling or whatnot, but I'm talking about as your routine method.
-
A bit harsh, but solid advice.

@zecc Some of these were collected by @El_Heffe in And now . . . the news

@dreikin said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

At home, I do, out of necessity. At work, I have two and that's in the minority. My coworker had to give up two of his four screens when we moved buildings, he's still unhappy about it.

This is why I can't spell:
I transpose vowels constantly. More than 2 vowels in a row...I have no chance.

@karla I before E except after C, unless the e/i combo would make an ee sound in which case it's invariably ei. Odds also in your favour if making an ay type sound.

"Feisty" doesn't have either of those sounds in American English.

@dreikin English is too complex to generalise and even somewhat specific generalised rules have exceptions, news at 11.

@arantor 'I' before 'E' except when it isn't.

The only way to win is not to play?
I've also heard that once an internationally-known figure makes a public statement that he or she "lost The Game", then The Game is over. (Or alternately that that's when the second round begins.)

I want to see a language that allows only tabs as whitespace characters.

No newline characters? Ouch.
Seriously, though, semantically meaningful indentation in a non-joke programming language is a moronic idea and whoever thought it was a good idea needs to go voluntarily lobotomize themselves to ensure that none of their other good ideas will ever catch on.

I before E, except after C, and when sounding like "ay" as in neighbor and weigh.

English uses an entirely rule-based spelling system. Usually it uses one rule per word…

I have the most trouble with double consonants. I used to have a good handle on it, until I studied Spanish, then it all went to mierdo.

Not sure what's supposed to be funny about those. They're real. They taste like cotton candy.
Also, my wife, who likes grapes and likes cotton candy, didn't like them.
