< o11c> keep in mind, threading in general is *hard*
< bjorn> Hmm, I think there was a quote about understanding threading, but I can't remember it.
< bjorn> Well, I found an unrelated quote while trying to find it... "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it."
< o11c> ugh, xml
< bjorn> I knew somebody would like it. :)
< o11c> "I object to XML because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent."
< o11c> "XML, even well intentioned, always rebounds upon oneself."
< o11c> "Legitimate use of XML can only be that which is required in self-defense."
< o11c> "XML grows from desperation. Let's take the high ground."
< o11c> "XML is an admission that one's ideas and goals cannot prevail on their own merits."
< o11c> "XML is the last refuge of the incompetent."
< PjotrOrial> I feel I was not preached enough how nice xml is...
< o11c> "Nothing good ever comes of XML."
< o11c> "If you succumb to the temptation of using XML in the struggle...your chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos."
< o11c> "You never need an argument against the use of XML, you need an argument for it."
* bjorn still likes the quote he found best.
< o11c> "XML is not power, but the absence of power."
< o11c> Okay, I'm done
< PjotrOrial> I am not sure if it is good to believe bjorn in that point... both mana and tiled only use xml based formats
< o11c> Tbh, there *are* legitimate uses of XML, but it is WAY overused
< bjorn> PjotrOrial: Well, i guess it's still better than using a custom format if you want to be interoperable. |
