Looking for a tool that can run over a bunch of projects/repos and compare tooling files (eslintrc, editorconfig, tsconfig, etc.) against a template repo and flag (but not fix) when they are different. Anyone have suggestions?

Proposal to fill a gap in the HTTP status codes list with "427 Foreboding", for when the request will fill you with creeping dread.
My desktop computer locked up while I was doing system updates and I had to reboot and now it has no kernel to load and I need to boot from a LiveCD to fix it, but my laptop doesn't have a disk drive to burn a LiveCD and I have no USB keys so I have to go buy one and hope I can get EFI to boot from it and this is really not how I imagined my weekend starting 🙃

…
…we need those weight values for pronouns.
examples:
Accept-Pronouns: she/her
Accept-Pronouns: they/them, she/her
Accept-Pronouns: he/him, it/it;q=0.8, they/them;q=0.5
Accept-Pronouns: they/them, */*;q=0.7
Some random personal #SkyTrain stats
Since 2015-02-15, I've logged 3572 rides on SkyTrain vehicles.
As of today, I've ridden all 150 of the Mark I vehicles, all 260 of the first-gen and 348 of the second-gen Mark II vehicles, and 31/60 of the Mark III vehicles.
My most frequent ride is apparently 213, followed by 233 (which is my favourite first-gen Mark II train because of the LED headlights).

spent the better part of the day theming my phone's home screen...
My modem/router died so I have no internet at home. My condo also has notoriously poor cell service, so I'm basically staring at the walls wondering what to do with my life 🙃
Achievement unlocked: Investigated a bug in iOS WebKit/WKWebView, found the root cause, made a patch and a test case, and now my commit is merged into WebKit 🎉

“React”

“Why I have a problem with React the library and spend a lot of time talking to my therapist”
This feels broadly correct. React has not been a good influence over the web. And that's even before you take into account that it exists to support Facebook's development and recruitment.
