    Yeah this was what I was going for, same point stands

    No you've misunderstood my point. This doesn't work for cases where one child is in fact a property that is a complex object. XML claims to solve the problem of attributes vs child…

    This is a bad take. Let me sum up. >>“I need to configure this server and the server needs to know if this value is true or false.” >No, that’s bad. Don’t do that. That’s not a goo…

    Which, they didn't. Per the aforementioned hardware safety features. Extremely broad and reliable rule of thumb: hardware safety features > software safety features

    You reminded me of this [0] fantastic review of Sheerness in Kent. Blackpool is mentioned several times in comparison. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/u2vu5x/i_…
