“Oh, did a sportsball happen?” I whisper smugly from my vantage point on a distant cliff, the sounds of celebration in the village far below just barely audible over the lonely wind whipping my tattered cloak

Just seen some chump smugly saying "why call it Nosferatu? Dracula is out of copyright" as if Nosferatu itself isn't now a distinct way of telling the story. When Coppola used shadowplay in Dracula he was making explicit reference to Murnau, not Stoker.

C++23 has "first-class UB": you, the language user, can make promises and let the program enter UB if you break them.
int f(int x, int y) {
[[assume(x == 27)]];
[[assume(x == y)]];
return y + 1; // May be optimised to `return 28`.
}
int f(int x, int y) {
[[assume(x == 27)]];
[[assume(x == y)]];
return y + 1; // May be optimised to `return 28`.
}

Bluesky also does need a solution for “i domain verified and now some weirdo can steal my old bsky.social handle.”
The fact that your domain name IS your handle now is the verification.
However, now you should create a 2nd account using yourname.bsky.social as a backup to prevent someone from swiping it.

A lesson I keep having to learn the hard way -- when implementing an algorithm from a book, check the errata file first! 🙃
