USB-A connectors seem absolutely massive when the majority of my connectors are USB-C. With hindsight, maybe the original USB standard could have been smaller.

TIL that PGP keyservers no longer support 'web of trust' chains of signatures, as they were being spammed by people uploading massive signature chains:
Line alignment is a *massive* problem in syntactic diffs. Line-based diffs don't have this problem -- either lines are equal or they aren't.
In this example, it's not clear whether line 11 on the right should align with line 9 or line 10 on the left.
