  • YAML would such a nice language for config files but then it turns out that “no” is falsy and so a list of Scandinavian countries turns from

    • se
    • fi
    • no

    into

    • “se”
    • “fi”
    • False

    I wish there was like a JSON5 equivalent for YAML that just reduces its scope lol
    (and no, TOML also looks ugly :P)

  • You think they would have just repurposed the page that asked if you if you were over 18 before going to a nsfw subreddit for this task, but old.reddit.com seems completely overlooked as of now.

    Doubt it was overlooked. I moderated a larger subreddit and I can tell you that the stats for old.reddit are tiny compared to the rest so it’s not worth the cost of implementing. Further if you use old.reddit you probably already have a dislike for the app and will rather abandon the content then install the app. Finally old.reddit is used more by old-school redditors which tend to be the vocal minority that will complain about the change the loudest. So overall, ignoring old.reddit is propably the smarter decision from reddits perspective… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
