I think that https://blessed.rs does a pretty good job of providing recommendations for things that probably can't be crammed into the standard library, but which you'll almost certainly end up needing at one point or another. I honestly like that system a lot, it makes it so that the only packages you need to worry much about are usually doing something rather specific.
The joke is that Microsoft was truthfully able to say "the individual responsible is no longer with the company", a phrase which normally implies that someone has been fired as a direct consequence of the event, without actually firing anyone.

> In his statement, Mr. Mackoff described distinct conversations he had with each employee, provided the supervisor’s name, and submitted the diagram he drew while trying to explain to the employees how to count the 10 calendar days.

I don't necessarily know that you can conclude from a few memes that people are actually out there doing this, I see it more as venting frustration. They're certainly advocating for it, though.
I think this article is simply wrong about the "most expensive" part.
> The last 16 bottles sold for a total well in excess of £100,000 making Harewood Rum officially not only the oldest, but also the most expensive rum in the world.
That only works out to 6k or 7k pounds sterling per bottle. Meanwhile:
> Jamaican distiller J. Wray & Nephew is also recognised for producing one of the world’s most expensive rums, a 17-year-old expression priced in the region of £40,000 (US$52,000) and used to create the first Mai Tai cocktail in the 1940s.
I also watched through this recently and would highly recommend it to anyone with a passing interest. Some of the discoveries made were just insane, and the number of things that only barely work is kind of mind blowing.
