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

If you knew Han we're also collecting memorial messages. I hope someday his kids can read them: github.com/cncf/memoria...

@dockevinleeelder.bsky.social introduced me when I was in highschool. Very thought-provoking stuff.

Via @munnerz.bsky.social, I present to you "Bash Fire Service" 🧑‍💻🚒

www.variety.org.au/sa/people/ca...

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 shorts—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 🙃

Have you seen KYAML?

Benjamin Elder @bentheelder.bsky.social · Aug 4

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!

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."

♥️ Yosemite

Roughly the same view as the first image, but with a hiker in front of me on the trail, in striking orange and blue clothing

A view from cloud's rest. Half dome, north dome, and the Yosemite valley are visible

A view headed back down "the spine" of granite from cloud's rest, with many sugar pines, mountains and clouds

@stmcginnis.bsky.social is too modest, and the process bits are my fault :-) His first time cutting a kind release, thanks Sean! 🎉

Sean McGinnis @stmcginnis.bsky.social · May 16

New kind v0.28.0 release is out. Not too many major changes, but includes containerd 2.1 and defaults to
@kubernetes.io
v1.33.1!

Huge thanks to @bentheelder.bsky.social for guidance running this release. The right parts are his, and errors are mine. 😄
