This is cool. /r/blind which is heavily affected by #Reddit 's bullshit has created their own instance instead of using a existing instance and creating a community there.

Really proud of them - https://rblind.com/

Who would want to be a replacement mod for #Reddit? They’ve unceremoniously fired the original mods who spent years contributing to the site.
I assume replacement mods don’t get paid a penny either. Being a Reddit mod now is a sucker job for some greedy ungrateful asshole’s IPO.

@darius I think about the NHS digital design standards all the time, where the standard is functionally "your target audience is a fifteen-year-old for whom english is a second language. They're using a 6 year old android phone that's been handed down twice, and they are sitting in a hospital emergency waiting room trying to look up information in the middle of the most terrifying night they have ever had. Your site must work for that person, at that moment."

A case where I wanted to make software reliable, which caused downtime.
In lib.rs, when #Rust had only 20K crates, I've used 16-bit counters for stats. I knew it'll eventually outgrow them, so I've used checked arithmetic and made it panic on overflow, "so that I will notice when that happens".

Well, it overflowed, and because the stats were used in so many places now, it basically took the site down, at the worst possible moment when I had no time to make a release.

Twitter sucks so much now it's unreal. Whenever I forget and load it up now it's like 5 minutes at best before I see a conservative calling queer people pedophiles--obviously with the full blessing of the site's owner because one time he was the one doing it

"com.lihaoyi Scala: Executable Pseudocode that's Easy, Boring, and Fast"

This was a pretty cool article. The author goes into subjective territory, and I dislike some of his choices, but I very much agree with the general sentiment of prefering code that's simple, easy, and boring. And #Scala can suffer from Java's boilerplate curse, IMO, due to all the tooling that alleviates the use of complex APIs.

I want to expand more on the comedy of errors that led to the eviction of #Twitter from their Boulder, Colorado office.

The story that leads up to this building even existing is bizarre and hilarious, so here goes...
