So, you have admitted that you don’t know what XKCD_ is. That
is totally unacceptable that my daughter, breath of my life,
wouldn’t know enough about the site which formed so much of my
life. Of course, most of it is just a joke, but plenty of those
comics had actual serious impact on my life.
Without much order, just as I am recalling them, these are some
comics which may be worthy of mentioning:
* https://xkcd.com/2347/ … we had another scare over this Easter
when one of such libraries (xz_ compression library) was
compromised by a trickster, who abused overworked (and mentally
not completely stable) maintainer to the level, he got access
to the library itself and then he tried to spread a nasty code
with it. This is actually much more real, than we would like to
admit.
* https://xkcd.com/1782/ … I was mentioning IRC_ to you.
* https://xkcd.com/2365/ … this is slightly old (2020-09-29), but
too right to be funny
* https://xkcd.com/927/ … again and again and again; there is no
hope for humanity
* https://xkcd.com/1172/ … this is probably too geeky, but I have
many examples from my programming/packaging life for this
* https://xkcd.com/743/ … when they made jokes about it in
2010-05-21, one could hope that people learn? Right.
* https://xkcd.com/386/ … no comment
* https://xkcd.com/285/ … this one is ancient, but how many times
I was thinking about it?
* https://xkcd.com/353/ … if you run `import antigravity` in any
Python interpreter, this is what you get.
* https://xkcd.com/314/ … “Come on. Somewhere at the edge of the
Bell curve is the girl for me.” That’s the line Shakespeare and
Nora Ephron would love to write.
* https://xkcd.com/258/ … I found this one just randomly now, but
it is awesome!
* https://xkcd.com/2102/ … how many video archives exist only on
YouTube?
* https://xkcd.com/327/ … the best explanation of SQL Injection
I have read anywhere
* https://xkcd.com/221/ … this is unfair, the author shows our
deepest secrets to the public!
* … I will never admit how many hours I spent clicking on the
“[Random]” button.
