TIL There's Another YAML

I am not sure "clobbering library/framework names" is a real problem, but it does make things a bit more annoying for us mere humans. Imagine my confusion where I read a bunch of web dev types praising asdf and feeling confused only to find out asdf is now the name of some new tool. Now I have to explicitly search for "asdf lisp" to find info about the thing[0] I actually had in mind.

[0] https://asdf.common-lisp.dev/

Well given sheer number of new css/js frameworks/libraries that are produced every week, name collisions seem like an inevitability. After all, there are only 10,830,144,982,920 strings available in

  [a-z0-9]{1,8}(\.js|\.css)?

It's basically IPv4 without ICANN.

On the other hand I'd say that no tools should be named asdf or other keysmash, except for ZXCVBN.

> except for ZXCVBN

You mean the Low-Budget Password Strength Estimator?

Yeah, that name is totally legit.

Bit off topic, but the TLS certificate seems to be wrongly issued to the wildcard *.kasserver.com, which seems to be a back-end related domain for a German hosting company with strong mid-2000 vibes named "ALL-INKL.COM" [1].

They even have a full-blown SOAP API to manage their services [2].

Fun 10-minute rabbit hole :)

I used them at my parent run kita in Berlin. Very cheap! I eventually moved them to hetzner due to ssl problems but they had good support and I kept the domain with them.

Can you say more about that Kita's organization?

We moved away from Berlin to the south and hope to find a Kindergarden for our 2nd child, but there's not really any guarantees.

It was really small and German speaking and wonderfully low tech but not anti-tech. Parent run meant we had regular meetings and had to paint, clean, organise events and vote on executive decisions like buying a dishwasher. It was really intimate and my kids learnt German really well. It was a lot of overhead but it brought us into the community well. The teachers were really dedicated they were amazing. Best start possible. Parents regularly had tensions between them but this is the nature or a random sample of population, lol.

The website is still retro and bulky but at least the cert works! https://kila-mittenmang.de

Sounds great. I see this is still a professional place with hired staff etc.

The website is cute: I like that the image thumbnails show cropped parts rather than scaled summaries.

"continuously developed since 2005" last commit 9 years ago lol

The website linked in the footer is parked, it's surprising the yaml domain is still up.

Makes me a bit nostalgic, haven't seen a G+ profile linked on a website in a long time.

Keeping a website online this long is a sign of reliability.

Should I remind people that there is a different (software-related) curl (https://www.curl.com/)? No?

It made me laugh imagining an "enterprise grade" commercial version of curl. What features would it have? SAML integration? Support for Kensington locks?

Nostalgia hits hard when seeing this design.

YAYAML, next: YAYAYAML

ML of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood?

Nice to see compatibility.
