I was responding to the "human inefficiencies" section of the article, which claims that Mastodon is inherently much more inefficient than Twitter because many different moderators (from different instances) must act on the same p

Does Mastodon need to spend more time per post on moderation than a service like Twitter? As I understand it, people generally report bad posts to the moderator of the instance they came from and expect them to take them down. And if the

A lot of the old ones do too, but elements not named <div> are an elitist conspiracy to prevent people from becoming web developers.

Modern web developers don't use semantic HTML for screen reader support. They manually apply screen reader interpretation data the same way they manually apply Tailwind styles to every element. (That's what WAI-ARIA is for, most n

The whole command-line tools in JS trend was, I think, in full swing in 2013. I mean even in the 2013 version that another commenter linked, they're relying on the built-in NPM support for installing command-line tools and the existing

If the code was exceptionally bad, it might not justify the snarkiness, but it would maybe explain it at least. The current code looks fine though; I could definitely see me and my Big Tech colleagues writing something like this and getti

It's a common misconception due in large part to Rust's marketing. Claim: Rust enables you to eliminate many classes of bugs at compile-time. ( https://www.rust-lang.org , "Why Rust?", "Reliability")

In the US, Barilla pasta boxes (and most other brands) have a small plastic window so you can see what the pasta looks like. The UK website is promoting the fact that they recently removed those windows from the UK packaging.

There have been a lot of claims of larger numbers, but they all rely on some combination of (a) "classical preprocessing", where you find the answer on a normal computer first and use it as an input to the quantum algorithm, and&#

Yes, I have found in previous discussions about Internet moderation that while many people talk about not wanting to see certain content themselves, the actual thing they want is to control what everyone else sees.

As I understand it, in the fediverse the divide literally exists in the network topology . Members of Group A share an address space with members of Group B, but the structure of the fediverse prevents them from sending messages to each ot

The main problem with this idea is battery life. Mobile devices are designed to go to sleep really often to conserve battery, and you can't do that if you're running a server. iOS in particular heavily restricts when and how apps

I was expecting this to be about the various Mastodon groups that have all instance-banned each other, so you can't communicate with everyone in the fediverse without making multiple accounts. (IIRC there are at least 3: the American a

Zig does have "translate-c", which attempts to convert C code to Zig code. Similarly to D, it's used for a feature to automatically import C headers into a Zig program. But even that's based on libclang's parser and

In my experience, the only people actually alienated by a failure to strictly comply with WCAG's assumptions about color contrast are the ones who run random websites through automated scanners and complain about the results. WCAG&#x27

I think the parent comment's claim is that serving a CAPTCHA page to potential attackers may actually be more resource intensive than serving a lightweight page that has the actual content on it.

You can theoretically send email to an IP address directly, like someone@[127.0.0.1], but I imagine a lot of the programs and websites you'd want to use don't know that. And you're still left with the problem of needing to ge

Funny, I had the exact opposite experience using Tailwind: my design tools gave me measurements in pixels or rems, and I had to do math to convert them into Tailwind units.

Right, mmap() lets you get a big buffer without actually using that much physical memory. Good catch! I still think it's unlikely for an app to be vulnerable to this but having less than 4 GB of RAM isn't an absolute defense. Havi
