It is sarcasm.

00kevnon LARPing and Violent Extremism

I didn't interpret the article as "investigate LARPers to make sure they're not domestic terrorists" so I don't really understand your take. Stop and Frisk has obvious racist origins, but the process starts with you suspecting someone of a crime and using that as a foot in the door. This seems the opposite guidance of "before you spend too much time investigating a group, try to build the case that they're not LARPing". Like the whole preface is that terrorists are trying to evade justice by saying it was all a game. Stop and Frisk wasn't created because people carrying weapons and committing crimes were pretending to be minorities so cops wouldn't be suspicious.

00kevnon A coder’s guide to coffee (2002)

Yeah I saw the date before I read the article, and the thing that struck me is that specialty coffee wasn't very good. I grind at home and have a midtier home espresso machine, but I still treat myself to a local cafe espresso drink from time to time. I just can't compete with a commercial espresso machine, or experienced barista for that matter.

I also think you'd be hard-pressed to find robusta served outside of a diner these days
