Out of curiosity - not defending the behavior - what kind of problems could omitting EDNS cause? What is the steelman case for Archive.is here? The author says Archive.is's claim that it causes problems is "questionable", but

After using Storybook for a couple years at work, I've soured on it. The Canvas / Docs distinction is weird and confusing. There are lots of poorly documented aspects (did you know pressing "S" causes the sidebar to disa

Lots of reasons this might be a shortsighted, footgun decision. Kids might use drinking or other more actually-damaging vices as substitute goods. Has the potential to generate mass resentment and foment agitation for political freedom. Et

"Now some are questioning whether the scientist himself is being dishonest" kinda undersells it. The debunking offers numerous pieces of stone cold proof that the paper is straight-up academic fraud: https://datacolada.

I wish I could find it. It was a blog post about how one man's perspective on fatherhood changed after he became a father, and he realized he regretted waiting so long, because all it really ended up doing was robbing him of being able

Probably why it's a leadership principle now. When I started there, the first thing I noticed, reading the LPs, was a conspicuous lack of anything employee-centric, which most other big companies have somewhere in their mission stateme

Out of curiosity, what kind of meetup did you start? How did you find event space for it?

Yeah, you have to look for private clubs for the things you're into. Masters swimming. Archery clubs. Book clubs. Whatever. They're usually not on meetup, and often only on their own websites and/or on Facebook. I found this
