Curling!

:D

Sigh, Python I guess

site_description: default `null`

Python

since when is `null` Python?

YAML

Processed by Python

converted to HTML

Parsed by a web browser

Time for some yaml shaving?

What could go wrong?

Zash, fixed and deployed, thanks

Thanks

MattJ, still better than ruby, where you would’ve gotten "" instead of "nil" ("None")

the countless times I hunted after empty strings in ruby things which turned out to actually be nils

That would have been arguably more correct in this specific case :)

"Nun"

Not sure I want the site appearing in search results with the description "None"

correct, but harder to track down when it isn’t

a "None" is a dead giveaway what happened, a "" isn’t

bonus when some string operations sometimes(!) return nil instead of a string

irb(main):001:0> "foo\n".delete!("\n").to_s => "foo" irb(main):002:0> "foo".delete!("\n").to_s => ""

because that’s totally obvious

:)

jonas’: that demands for a NaS return value.

Ge0rG, like, nil?

irb(main):001:0> "foo".delete!("\n") => nil

jonas’: no, like NaN, but for strings.

NaN != NaN, but nil == nil

ah
