Why is most of the substance of this post giant block quote links to his own Twitter? Clicking through to those is painful; it’s not like the author can’t afford to host some screenshots on his own domain.

Look up that case. The victim suffered third-degree burns and required skin grafts. The myth that it’s a ridiculous, over-litigious case is just that: a myth. The coffee was absolutely too hot.

I would use Guix over Nix in a second if only Guix had support for ZFS. I don't even need root or /home on ZFS, which I admit can be tricky.

I question how important an extension is if there’s not enough incentive to port it to the new paradigm, at least eventually.

I've been subscribed to this for years, and it brings me joy every time an astronomical event pops up in my notifications. Big thanks to the author, Canton Becker, who clearly does this out of a passion for remembering to look up.

I truly do not understand why this problem has gone on for so long. It's clear that many people think `.home.arpa` is ugly. It boggles my mind that the IETF and ICANN can't come up with some agreement to get `.home` or something similar codified like RFC 7788 tried to do. This just seems like a fight between giant bureaucracies while meanwhile the users suffer and bad decisions like assigning `.dev` are made. I get that there are rules around this sort of critical infrastructure and its management, but come ON. /rant

With the rant ended: can anyone explain to me why all the relevant organizations can't get together and assign a TLD for this purpose that doesn't end in `.arpa`?

Just this week in Pittsburgh, I saw an official corporate poster up in a McDonald's advertising a "competitive starting wage" with an 8.5″x11″ sheet taped to it reading "STARTING RATE UP TO 10$/HR." I doubt they'll have much luck at ≤$10/hour. Sure, it's more than the minimum ($7.25/hour), but the "up to" weasel words don't give me confidence.

I think you'll find that the president who led America through WWII couldn't climb a flight of stairs on his own. Whether or not your assertion about Biden is true, it doesn't seem to matter one way or the other when it comes to leading a nation.

In Rust, the signature of the function would be along the lines of `-> Result<whatever, Error>` and you'd have no choice but to handle the Error case of the Result or to panic. Either way, not a segfault.
