If a doctor told you your unborn child has a 99% chance of severe downs syndrome, to the point where they would need constant care until the day they die. Do you think it's ethical to abort?

It's not ethical to not abort the pregnancy in this case. There is nothing wrong with getting rid of the fetus, there is everything wrong with letting a person disabled to this stage from the start emerge.

About part 2: I think euthanasia is ethical in this case. Certainly more ethical than emotional blackmail with "unborn child".

I'm strongly against death penalty when it comes to crimes of individual against individual.

I am for death penalty when it comes to crimes of influential individual against masses though.

A murderer or rapist who ruined one life doesn't deserve death penalty. A corrupt politician who ruined countless lives cooperating with the billionaires does.

In yaml a mistake in indentation can easily result in a business error without config becoming invalid.

Writing too much complex configs in files is a problem too ofc, we ended up moving a lot of stuff like that to a DB lately.

I'm not a fan of indentation being logically meaningful not just in yaml. If you mess up indentation in python you can also get a technically valid code that's wrong logically.
