Thanks! Macroexpanded:

IANA's email about why example.com changed - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49915060 - Sept 2026 (20 comments)


And the "statement" in this article is the text from that email, disingenuously edited. I'm not sure why, but it rubs me the wrong way.


The hilariously ironic thing is that Dunk, a Google Engineer, went out of their way to make a hyperlink of "example dot com" so that people could tap and visit the site, even where Davies' email specifically reiterates that the domain is for documentation purposes only and nobody should ever be actually visiting the site!

McCarthy of DebugBear clearly noticed this admonition and perhaps the mistake as well, because they have carefully highlighted "example.com" without linking to it, although they apparently have visited the site in order to copy and cite screenshots and unpack the CSS, and describe an extensive history of it.


What makes you think it's edited?


Yeah apologies, bad wording on my part. I really just meant the removal of the opening line which made it clear that it was a correspondence: "I am happy to try and answer any questions you have."

So is TALA[1] continuing to be developed and/or being open sourced?

[1] https://github.com/terrastruct/TALA


Yes, I'm planning to open-source it tomorrow.



In the post it says "I'll be making posts as TALA and D2 Studio are released." so I assume/hope so?




Comments moved thither. Thanks!


Is the end-app anything worth open sourcing?


With some review and polish, maybe. The code seems fine. Still playing with the UI concepts. The ability to iterate is crazy.
