  • YAML to JSON is probably doable, JSON back to YAML not so much.

    There are multiple ways to mark multiline strings in YAML. Then there are anchors, like bionicjoey mentioned. Also comments, YAML has them. You’d have to have some way to retain the extra information, if you want to make the full round trip.

    Here’s an example:

    def-db: &def-db
        # here be dragons
        login: admin
        passwd: nimda
        
    prod:
        db: *def-db
        desc: |
            I'm a teapot
            short and stout
    
    dev:
        db: 
            <<: *def-db
            passwd: pass
        desc: "I'm a teapot\nshort and stout\n"
    

    converted to JSON looks like this

    {
        "def-db": {
            "login": "admin",
            "passwd": "nimda"
        },
        "prod": {
            "db": {
                "login": "admin",
                "passwd": "nimda"
            },
            "desc": "I'm a teapot\nshort and stout\n"
        },
        "dev": {
            "db": {
                "login": "admin",
                "passwd": "pass"
            },
            "desc": "I'm a teapot\nshort and stout\n"
        }
    }
    





  • what does annoy me (dunno whether it changed after the patch) is that things like legendary sandevistan heatsinks are only available via crafting.

    I’ve never used sandy, but now I’m annoyed, too.

    Actually, the whole idea of crafting annoys me, especially how it’s implemented in CP2077. I can suspend my disbelief for a while, and accept quickhacking as advanced tech, no problem. But dismantling an ashtray, a pack of condoms and a shotgun, and turning the parts into a leather jacket, while sitting on my bike in the middle of a highway? CDPR, you owe me an explanation.

    Such things should be available (at stellar prices) from shady dealers at high enough stats and street cred.

    This is the way. I wouldn’t be sad, if this was the only way. It just doesn’t make sense, that some pampered corporat learns, in a matter of days, the skills to build smart rifles and kevlar vests. There apparently are people in NC, who make a living as techie. How is that possible, if acquiring the skills is so easy? Same goes for every smith in Skyrim, etc.
