Web sites are so hyper-inefficient for the same reason C/C++ are so hyper-unsafe: When you have no guardrails — not even positive affordances, let alone bare-minimum Falling Rocks signs — you get people driving all over the place without even realizing they're not on the road anymore.
OOB accesses and UAFs everywhere? You need guardrails and affordances.

if there's one thing I'm learning from a lot of the incredibly kind things people have been saying to me on cohost over the last day or two it's that it's worth doing things becuase you find them enjoyable even if there's no immediate, obvious reaction
we're so trained to only care about likes and reblogs but there's so many people who read, don't interact, but still have a positive experience, and that is valuable.

In a digital community, metrics like happiness and safety among its members are important and prioritized because the decision-makers are also community members.
In a digital market, there are few metrics more valuable than "average time on site." So they prioritize posts with a lot of comments. Posters notice, so they make the type of content that gets the most comments. Rage bait.
Users are spending a lot of time in the markets, but no one is happy.

Was surprised at how fast benefitscal.com loaded [1] on one of my testing phones today ("only" ~15 seconds), so I ran the trace again...gzip is enabled!!! And the first load JS transfer is down to ("only") 4MB (still 24MB unzipped, natch).
Maybe everything isn't hopeless bullshit?

Four-panel comic by skeletonclaw.comFirst panel shows a graph with X-axis labeled Bad / Good / Great . A horizontal bar labeled "Skill" goes across, and a man stands on it. Text: You can achieve true greatness if you focus fully on one thing.
Second panel shows graph with same x-axis,, y-axis has many bars labeled "Skill", all in the range Bad to Good. The man is looking up at the bars. Text: If you have too many interests, you'll never reach your full potential.
Third panel shows man climbing up the bars of the graph as if they were a ladder. Text: Wait, where the fuck are you going?
Fourth panel shows man at top of ladder, sitting on a wall overlooking a calm ocean with mountains in the distance.

Joe Biden literally promised to end the forever wars, tackle white supremacy, reign in police violence, end kids in cages and offer human immigration policies, do something about climate crisis, and stop/punish the nazis. He won that election because young people, brown people, poor people voted for him in droves.
Hillary lost her election trying to be Reagan in a dress.
What kinda campaign do you think Harris is running? Be honest with yourself.
So yeah, that's why I'm still worried.
