SoonDead··on Safest mushrooms to forage and eat
I opened the comments just to warn people how shitty this article is, but I guess I was not the only one.

In my experience foraging is regional, locals know what kind of mushrooms grow in which forest. This kind of "look out for these LOL" list is not useful at all.

e.g in my region the parasol mushrooms are one of the best picks due to their sheer size and distinct characteristics. I would recommend it more to beginners.

Some mushrooms on the list have similar quite toxic ones, and here there is only one picture, there is no explanation on what to look out for. I hope no reader gets the false impression of it being safe (which is literally in the title of the article). Hate it.

SoonDead··on Foolproof HTML
I remember XHTML with the application/xhtml+xml mime type. Errors were pretty visible. The world backed out of it.

I'm suggesting he change it to Hotel_UDP.html from Hotel_Music.html so it does not spoil that it's music.

Excellent story, although the URL spoiled it for me, might worth changing it to something more vague.
SoonDead··on Robots have been about to take all the jobs for more than 200 years
There is still a lot of things waiting to be invented/discovered in space travel, the humanity could use the help of robots in that regard.

And when ready I can travel to my own planet, terraform it and live out my artificially enhanced lifespan there.

Get my upvote.
SoonDead··on Defeating the NPM Worm
I'm interested why this is not the default behaviour. Would it break anything legit if npm would just simply switch to this behaviour? Are there any strong arguments against this?

I'm interested in use-cases where access to anything outside the current folder (the folder npm is called in) is justified and depended on.
