Idk, I never used the weird advanced features of YAML, but the basics seems really nice for stuff you want a non programmer to edit.

The question is over 11 years old, so idk what is so funny about old question using old PHP.

Also, the drone falling could hit someone or something, but the chances of hitting the drone or whatever it is seems neglidgable.

Please, do NOT shoot at airborn targets, or any target where your are not certain a missed shot will be safe.

How cute. The mental patients are playing a game, where they pretend half of them are normal <3
- Comment on Indian start-up Yes Madam fires employees who indicated being stressed in the survey 1 week ago:
Yes and no. The survey is always scoring something 1-10 and then a text field on explanation/how to improve it. If you are too worried, you can just give the score. Even so, most people just fill them in normally and as I said, I did not see anyone regret being honest.
- Comment on Indian start-up Yes Madam fires employees who indicated being stressed in the survey 1 week ago:
In our corp, our managers get the answers and results without the names of employees that gave the answers. Did not see anyone regretting being honest on the survey yet.

As I understand it, the .su was not really an intentional exception as much as it happened before the strict rules were written down.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 week ago:
Sorry, do I need to handhold you through it? Are you unable to figure out what the definition of blackmail is? “If you don’t bring an umbrella, you will get wet since it is supposed to rain” is not blackmail. Unless you are 10, I am very concerned that you can’t comprehend this.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 week ago:
What I am describing is not blackmail. It is the same as saying that leaving unguarded food next to starving people encourages theft of said food. That is not blackmail. I am saying nothing beyond that. I am not commenting on morality of the situation or what the right thing to do is. Just pointing out it is not quite as simple.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 week ago:
Thanks for the extra info.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 week ago:
That makes sense, thanks for the info.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 week ago:
Stop defending them
Idk anything about them. I am just pointing out that having bad execs (whether incompetent, careless or outright embezzlers) is far worse than paying 1-2%. As far as I know, no one has came up with a better way to get good execs than paying them a lot.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 week ago:
You are not necessarily paying of the same people. Even most honest/righteous people like money. So the charity willing to pay them get those and the charities that don’t risk getting the kind of people who don’t mind embezzling.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 week ago:
Would be nice if that worked. If you embezzle the money smartly, e.g. giving lucrative contracts to friends consultancy firm, there is pretty much no way to prove it.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 week ago:
I am not an exec, so no it is not. It is just statement of fact.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 2 weeks ago:
While not ideal, I would like to note that the charity has a revenue of 392 M$. Spending 1-2% on salaries of top exec is not that bad if it prevents them from misusing the funds. A lot of the time, the alternative to high salaries for people in power is those people giving in to corruption since the risk/benefit encourages it. Just look at politics for an example.
- Comment on Does anyone else think the NYPD photos of the UHC CEO shooting suspect don’t match? 2 weeks ago:
Well that sucks.
Also, can’t stop thinking about that episode of The Newsroom with Boston marathon bombing. 10 years since it aired and this shit is only getting worse.
- Comment on Hustle? In this gig economy? 3 weeks ago:
I have no idea. I have never seen any job ask this and there is no context given in this post. May not be job application at all.
- Comment on Hustle? In this gig economy? 3 weeks ago:
If the quiz is “Do you have what it takes to be a you-tuber?”, or something like that, then yes. If it is some corporate bullshit, the they should fuck off.
- Comment on Hustle? In this gig economy? 3 weeks ago:
No, but if those irregular paychecks are high enough, you may be able to create a reserve to work around it. TI’s how owning businesses work.
- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, only around 2-3% of the white voters switching Dem would make up for the Latinos voting for Trump. On the other hand, blaming the voter instead of candidate is losing the point.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 1 month ago:
I mean sure, that is how some (mostly strategy) games do it, but for an FPS, figuring out where the buffer should be would be a programmers nightmare. I guess you would have to try to calculate all possible line of sights a player could have within some buffer time and then all players that could in theory enter them… Add physics and it is practically impossible.
Also, corner hack is useful enough and it does not address aimbot. IMO the answer is some combination of human moderation and ability to play with “friends” instead of randos. E.g. you could ask people to like or dislike a player at the end of a match and try to pair players that liked each other in the past.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 1 month ago:
That does not detect things like wall hack and aim-bots that don’t modify the game state directly.

If you weren’t so broke, you would know there is also Switzerland. ;)
- Comment on Goddammit Texas! 2 months ago:
You do realize some countries in Europe have federal governments (Germany for example), right? And then these completely independent countries are part of the EU which have EU elections. So you have federation within federation. Also, the EU has higher population than the USA. We don’t even all speak the same language. You are allowed to move between EU countries whenever you like and have residence where you please.
So what is your excuse again?
- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 3 months ago:
I strongly prefer GOG to the point where I often don’t buy games that are not on GOG.
That being said, one reason to buy from Steam is steam workshop. So if I want a lot of mods, I may buy from Steam even when available on GOG.

Unfortunately we are out of Czechoslovakias at the moment.
- Comment on Eat it 5 months ago:
I think switching to a frequency that a different region uses could be dangerous, since then the airplanes near do border would receive the signal but the airport wouldn’t. This could lead to misscommunications.
Also, the airline pays for the jets.

They don’t command them, but they call them in like you call the police.
