That blog post reminded me of the time I skip-upgraded Branden Robinson's m68k Mac which is a terrible idea for very similar reasons, and everything suddenly started failing because libc was upgraded before bash and now bash didn't work anymore and most postints require bash, not to mention init scripts.
That was a pretty fun ride, too. And no, I should not have done that either.

I feel it's possible to let anger shine through and still be respectful. But perhaps I'm wrong...

Why?
I don't mean the seething bit, I mean that part should be obvious. I mean why not let it shine through?

@flameeyes and also some language to query said structured data. All you need now is to add some easy 3 letter abbreviation and you're done! Surely that hasn't been done before.

This pride month, I want to honor Harvey Milk. A man who was not afraid to stand up for who he was, and made a difference.
Even though I'm not a member of the community and have made mistakes in my interaction with people who are in the past, I have always believed that how two consenting adults interact with each other is nobody's business but their own, and as such I just can't understand the bigotry that exists in this world.
RIP Harvey Milk. May your legacy live on forever.

@foone @SpeakerToManagers in case you decide to be true to yourself and get started on this: the Egyptians had their own numbering system in hieroglyphs. There are Unicode code points for hieroglyphs now. So make sure not to forget them! 😉

It's useful with its opposite, strcspn, to write a tokenizer:
start = string + strspn(string, delim); // find first non-delimiter character
len = strcspn(start+1, delim);
Now you have a string with a known length that you can process.
You could use strtok, but (a) that modifies the string, which is not always what you want, and (b) is not thread-safe; strspn and strcspn are.

Oh, okay, I see what you mean. I thought you wanted to defederate your own server and live on an island, which seems to defeat the point, but it's about defederating as a big moderation hammer. That makes a whole lot more sense 😁
