UPS is the fucking worst. Package cannot be delivered because "The company or receiver name is incorrect."

I will never understand why `--locked` is an opt-in flag for `cargo install`.
Libraries? Sure, I understand.
But for a binary? The decision to ignore the root Cargo.lock by default was a stupid one.

What's a good alternative to the #Kindle store, now that Amazon have stopped the ability to download purchased books, and I'm unable to read any books I purchase on my non-Amazon e-reader?

Sometimes you write cool code you're super proud of!
... but you can't test it because @cloudflare.social has decided your requests are shit ☹️
Yes, I'm aware 525 error means "host server SSL handshake" but works in Firefox perfectly fine and this is blatant discrimination against script kiddies

It may have taken me hours and hours longer than doing it with #regex (which doesn't deserve the hate btw)...
But #AdventOfCode Day 3 is complete and runs in 430µs!
This year is all about writing fast parser combinators 💪

Some days you'll have to write additional unit tests because your part 2 answer is somehow wrong.
Then you'll end up with 20 (passing!) unit tests and you still have the wrong answer.
It's day two, people! This is a massive hit to my ego 😭

My take on #Arcane:
Season 1: okay those are the good guys, those are the bad guys, and those are the morally ambiguous guys. Classic.
Season 2: what the fuck is going on? Where did they come from? Did I miss a piece of lore? What the fuck is THAT?
