Cloudflare doesn't do April fools jokes. In fact, 1.1.1.1 was released on April 1st back in 2018 and now it's one of the most used DNS service in the world.

8 years later and now I'm getting the 4 1's joke.

I presume if Elon sets up a CDN, the IP will be 20.20.20.20.

I still don't get it

1.1.1.1 has 4 1’s, as in 4/1, as in April 1 (or so I assume).

I interpreted it back then as just following the tradition of 8.8.8.8, 4.4.4.4, 2.2.2.2

4 1's == 4/1

could just be a coincidence

Isn't it normal for the initial commit to be large?

A little larger, a lot of the time, though I like a small initial commit better. Though just a little larger. Not so large that it is too large to show on a GitHub page. That means not using version control properly.

Usually when someone decides to share code with the world, they don't want to publish the actual development history. They publish the first version that is ready to go public as the first commit. With enough functionality etc.

Maybe not applicable in this case, but Github has a ridiculously low threshold for when it starts hiding diffs. Probably a limitation of their new React frontend.

I don’t know why anyone thinks that you can’t or shouldn’t use unwrap in a production environment. If this was enforced you’d likely end up with people using something like “.expect()” and there are real world cases where you KNOW that unwrapping will never cause issues.

The reality is the code should not have used unwrap, but that doesn’t mean using unwrap is bad.
