How does a shortage get worse than "we're all out"?
The duration can differ. A shortage lasting a week is better than a shortage lasting months.

The opposing side to RTFM is for you to just “Answer the fucking question”. I don't have issue with people that didn’t read or understand, but I do have issue with your RTFA nonsense. What does this add? Far less value than a question that everyone seems to want to know...
Thanks for bringing it up. An underlying assumption here is that cordiality should be the default, and I agree with that.
In this particular case, though, this question is essentially "TL;DR?", which is also a question everyone wants to know, but not considered good etiquette by this community.
The question was "Is there a reason the author uses the word dish instead of project?" If the answer is yes, then, you can find out by reading the article. If the answer is no, then a comment critiquing or clarifying would be helpful.
I could have been more cordial, but it's unsustainable (IMO) to counter low-effort with high-effort. Acting annoyed is a convenient shortcut for communicating etiquette expectations.

I sadly work for a company that claims ownership of any kind of "technical" thing I come up with. I have dozens of side-projects that I work on, but sadly they're all kind of stuck running in my basement until I leave my current job.
"Side dish" is not another way of saying "side project" (in the context of this article.
Side dish = product built on a platform the customer already uses. Example: Streak (a side dish) is a CRM that lives inside Gmail (the main dish).

Is there a reason the author uses the word dish instead of project? While I suspected as much before clicking, it would clear up the title if it would just say what was actually about.
RTFA: it's not talking about side projects.

nicholaides commented on Regex2fat: Turn your favorite regex into FAT32 github.com/8051Enthusiast... · Posted by u/beefhash
What is this? I'm so curious but nothing of this rings a bell with me. I mean I know what a regular expression is, and I've formatted several USBs to FAT32, but DFAs and everything in between have me Googling like crazy, still in the dark though.
It converts your regexp into a virtual filesystem and then you can test if a string matches the regexp by converting the string into a path and testing if that path is contained in the filesystem.
Seems like it overlaps a lot with Yaml. What are the benefits to using Hjson instead?

Someone could make a frame by frame reproduction of a Kubrick film, or cover a Bowie song as faithfully to the original as possible. There is some value in the execution, the talent needed to pull it off. There's so much more value in the idea, the situation that led to its development, the blood, sweat and tears.
It just so happens that in fine art there is scarcity and that drives the price up.
