Of course I mean you. I mean all programmers. "When political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become more important. It is hard to subvert a rule-of-law state without lawyers, or to hold show t

I think it depends on who the redesign is for. If it's for the customers, I don't see any reason to think it would. I would even expect it to be reverted if hated. If it's for the devs (so they can do busy work and get a prom

I don't doubt Reddit's ops competency, I doubt we will see any problems. I am sure they have people going through the mental exercise of "what is this 'strike' going to do to our infra?" As an ops person the on

I can just imagine some piece of automation de-allocating spare capacity or something similarly obtuse. The anticipation of traffic coming back would have me on edge. Maybe everything expires from caches and new traffic comes in on cold cac

I never used fark. Did they make a change to the structure of how users interacted with the site, or did they make a change to the UI only? digg v4 was a disaster, but the exodus started before that when digg removed threaded comments. Rela

I have been in this A/B test group and I have been in the A/B test group that tries to show a TikTok style feed (one that gets new content based on the content you spent time observing) rather than a normalized upvote based one. W

Did you flag their posts? I think it is a sad reality, but responding to someone you disagree with implicitly upvotes and elevates their status (it's hard not to, it really is). Responding to someone implicitly says "this thing I

I think for 99.9% of comments it hasn't gotten worse, but there is a .01% that has definitely gotten noticeably worse. There's around 5 accounts I can think of that have been egregious lately. I'm actually surprised how well

I think it is less to shift discussion and more as a justification in order to avoid responsibility. If we are all evil genocidal imperialists, then it is just a matter of who is the most effective evil genocidal imperialist, not a discussi

I think that is a simple view of regulation. "You must do this" style regulation like GDPR does raise barriers of entry. "You can't do this," style regulation like trust busting doesn't seem like it would inv

The purpose of that article is not to bring down china. It's not ideologically opposed to china. It was not some conservative agenda article. It's a group of people who want to understand what happened. The article comes from a st
