I was slightly hoping this was a piece about ninja turtles.

> “I’m as mad as a hornet that SRS didn’t explain where the radioactive waste came from or if there is some kind of leak from the waste tanks that the public should be aware of,” Clements said.

This made me chuckle.

I had high hopes for IPFS, but even it has vectors for abuse.

See https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.11880 [Hydras and IPFS: A Decentralised Playground for Malware]

Is this like the FlatBuffers "zero-copy" deserialization?

Someone just ported this implementation to Rust. :)

Yes. Same for me as well. It just works and is easy for my fingers to remember without consciously thinking about it.

Somewhat related, does anyone know the difference between `erlang:suspend_process` and `sys:suspend` when trying trying to "unschedule" a process for executing reductions? Are they the same thing?

As someone who lives near the rocky mountains, I will say the part about getting struck by lightning by a storm that's up to 10 miles away is quite accurate.

I was out riding my bike one afternoon in Chatfield State Park in Colorado when I looked up and noticed how quickly the weather changed. Clouds had rolled over the mountains in the west and I heard lightning strike in the distance.

In the same second, I saw electricity arc between my hands and the handle bars as my fingers froze for a second. I didn't feel any pain or shock, but I got out of the area real quick.
