In case anyone is looking for alternatives, there's a well-maintained fork of neofetch called hyfetch. There's also a neofetch clone written in C called fastfetch.

Using shift for erase isn't a great choice. In many terminals, holding shift prevents mouse input from going to the running program, and instead allows you to use the terminal's text selection functionality.

Earth feels like a chemical reaction over a very long period of time.
Atmospheric methane was abundant billions of years ago. Then somehow life appears and transforms the composition of our atmosphere.
Now humans are terraforming us back towards the initial stage.
The problem is that the Sun is significantly brighter now than it used to be back then, so the amount of heating from the same amount of methane/co2 is proportionally more now too

HF won't actually dissolve a corpse. It's not actually that strong of an acid; just fluoride is nasty stuff.
On the other hand, HF is great at dissolving glass (silicon dioxide), which is something that most other acids won't do.

My strongest memory of high school chemistry is inhaling bromine vapors (I'm sure we were doing various addition reaction common in organic chemistry). It's got a very specific smell, rarely if ever encountered in the regular world.
The same chemistry lab had a sign warning us not to "pipette by mouth", but I actually do that today to transfer tardigrades. It gives you remarkable control over the volume transferred.
I guess accidentally getting tardigrades inside your mouth isn't anywhere near as bad as getting concentrated sulphuric acid in your mouth.

It actually does both. The increase in CO2 causes temperature increase which is well documented in the literature. But increase in temperature also causes the release of CO2 which further increases the temperature.
The increase of temperature also causes the release of methane, which is a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2.. Things aren't looking great

It is only one old C codebase however (or a couple if one counts the *BSD semi-forks separately) instead of many different fresh c codebases (one per compositor with some shared code between some of them to be fair). I don't buy that this is actually better for security. It is a lot of more fun/less painful than cleaning up and improving some legacy codebase however.
There's nothing that forces a Wayland compositor to be written in C. I've seen ones written in C++, Zig, and Rust, but you could really use any language as long as you can still call the appropriate system/kernel APIs
Seems like a bizarre omission from the article given the number of tangents and topics covered. My guess is that going down the traditional medicine route lead to him being told there was no organic basis to the pain.
As someone who went through a similar experience, I would not be surprised if the author's pain is/was entirely psychosomatic (this doesn't diminish its severity or significance). Probably a direct result of burnout.
I strongly doubt that it'd be purely psychosomatic.. Spending 14 hours a day hammering away at a keyboard will physically damage your wrists.
PS: That is in Firefox. In Chrome it uses what appears to be a bitmap font, which is much worse.
