@Leszek_Karlik @cstross despite the name, the "#tangerineshitgibbon" is unrelated to the gibbon. It's taxonomically closer to reptile than a primate. Though unlike most reptiles, only has a vestigial spine. As such was initially classified as an invertebrate. The name comes from the primate like behaviour of flinging its own faeces at perceived enemies. Curiously, it has been observed to be distracted during this activity and upon landing an accurate shot will applaud itself despite holding a handful of excrement. Strangely it doesn't seem to mind this. Observers have contemplated that this may account for the unnaturally bronzed staining on its otherwise pallid flesh

@petealexharris @raineer @drahardja @skyfire747 @nomenloony @blogdiva Don't you do that anyway when you add comments to your code?

@georgetakei "find" a reason, a bit like a fish "finding" water.

@GossiTheDog Introducing.... Clipanomics

@ryanc I'd say "flawed" but will accept "bad" I'd also accept stupid amounts of money.

@mkj @ryanc yes, RFC793 https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc793#section-2.10

"2.10. Robustness Principle

TCP implementations will follow a general principle of robustness: be
conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from
others."

As such IP TCP/IP is extremely liberal in the formats it will accept as an IP address.

This robustness principal is now generalised as "Postel's Law" after the author of this RFC, Jon Postel

@RickiTarr These ones are all attributed to Shakespeare
A foregone conclusion
As good luck would have it
At one fell swoop
Bated breath
Be all and end all
Good riddance
Milk of human kindness
