It really is a social anxiety off switch for me (once it fully kicks in after 5+ hours, lasting for about 24 hours before things slowly return to baseline). Alcohol in troubling quantities has that effect to a lesser extent, but of course i

It's not a benzo, but it is a GABAergic drug. The ironclad law to avoid brutal dependency and addiction is to never take it more than once every 7 days, preferably less frequently than that. No redosing on the same day either. This mea

Apportioning blame doesn't get rid of bugs; misuse resistant APIs do.

People still expect an API to reject illegal values. Calling the parameter --proxy-header (singular) could lead someone to assume that multiline strings are illegal values, even if there's a note in the docs somewhere saying otherwise.

AFAIK for items shipped by Amazon the only way to rule out commingling is after delivery: If the barcode starts with an X that's an FNSKU (specific to a seller), meaning the item did not come from commingled stock. Items sold by Amaz
