With sigs.k8s.io/kind + lima-vm.io on an M4 Pro it is faster to recreate the cluster after raising the system inotify limit than wait for crashloopbackoff πŸ˜‚

Still at a loss for words. Han was a wonderful human and an incredible engineer. He will be dearly missed.

This image features four people dressed in firefighter-themed outfits standing on a dirt path in a forested area. Behind them is a vintage-style utility vehicle with "Carmine's Vines" displayed on its front. The two individuals on the left are wearing yellow helmets, white T-shirts with "96 BFS" written in red, and shortsβ€”one in khaki and the other in black with red suspenders. The man kneeling in the front is also wearing a red hat and yellow pants. The person on the right stands confidently with no shirt, red suspenders, orange pants, and a red helmet, holding a tool in one hand. The background consists of tall pine trees and dense greenery.

At the bottom of the image, there is a banner featuring the logos for "Variety the Children's Charity" and "Bash," indicating this could be an event related to the charity.

lol.

Values are always quoted, but it's still YAML, just an opinionated subset from a formatting perspective.

Didn't want everything to require new parsers etc.

Surely you're hallucinating all the braces now? /s

In all seriousness: I hope this can auto-complete effectively in most editors, and more accurately than indent-focused approaches πŸ™ƒ

My favorite Reddit comment:
"Thanks, I hate it.

It takes all the crap I hate about JSON (explicitly requiring a bunch of brackets and quotes) and puts it back in.

It's better than JSON, and I see why this is better than YAML, but I still hate it."

Had a small hand in this one, primarily @thock.in's work: "Introducing KYAML, a safer, less ambiguous YAML subset / encoding"

Coming to Kubernetes v1.34 in alpha later this month!
