Politely asking about DST like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42707760 is perfectly reasonable. The cargo culting bit is using vaporware that was just in the news cycle to shout down good work that has been done for d

Yeah, this many words, and not even talking about having to trust the compiler, and how hard that is.

So players should be allowed to play shirtless, in a bikini, in underwear? Maybe it's stupid that it's this strict, but many of these “sports” (or whatever you want to call them) have a dress code. Chess's is definitely not s
