Here’s his reasoning from the article:

an Arch-based distro optimized for gaming on modern hardware, with support for cutting-edge CPUs and GPUs and an allegedly easy setup.

I installed Cachy recently too and I really like it, after using Mint and Arch for several months (and many others previously).

Refactoring is great, but there’s more.

The larger a project is or the busier developers are, the harder it is to become acclimated to parts of the code, too.

There are a few more examples from the article:

Bugs pile up. The build slows. Backwards compatibility imposes its own tax on progress. Original team members move on, while new members take time to acclimate.

He doesn’t mention this, but it also takes time to re-acclimate yourself to things you wrote six months ago. Good code and tests help but developers are human beings.

Letterboxd has long been the discursive mecca where film nerds go to share their online opinions about the movies they’ve watched.

“Long?”

Letterboxd gained popularity during the pandemic. Five years ago.

This quote from Tom Stuart in 2014 has been true since I started using Ruby in 2006.

DHH is the Fox News of Ruby. He's noisy, he's reactionary, he's anti-intellectual, he's very sure he's right and he enjoys being rude.

I loved (and still kind of love) Ruby but I’ve always thought “DHH” was a loudmouth wealthy douche.

I’m glad to have always been unapologetically vocal about that.

I think the larger instances kind of end up being quite similar to Reddit. Same pithy comments, same inability to self-reflect, same weird self-assurance that they are in the majority, regardless of subject.

It takes a lot of curation but I think it’s possible to find the social media you want on Lemmy.

“The fact that people are unimpressed that we can have a fluent conversation with a super smart AI that can generate any image/video is mindblowing to me."

That’s your killer feature? “But you can converse and it can make any image!”

“This is all about us wanting to make sure that every user can get the superpowers of AI,” says Navjot Virk, corporate vice president of Windows experiences, in an interview with The Verge.

Wtf are you talking about?

Oh duh, I should have known someone would return an empty object/collection or a string or something (“Error”) and 200!

I feel like sometimes monitoring is a bit like whack-a-mole.

You can compare the status to a 500 or a 404 though, to see if it’s running?

When it breaks, you’ll know.

I’m with you, I still can’t believe it.

I keep wanting to paraphrase the Simpsons. Aurora borealis? Here??

It was purple/red when I saw it here last week! I live in the middle of Illinois, next to a city.

It wasn’t detailed to the naked eye like the video or like in pictures for me (maybe because of light pollution?), but it was definitely a purple red color.

I know because I was like “what is that color??” I thought of some event or something in the city that direction, but it was weird that it was purple. Then I thought about weed farms, but it would have to be so many weed farms! Then it hit me that it was Aurora borealis.

In photos it’s obviously more striking but I am certain was something other than green!

I had my flash on like a dweeb in my yard, but that made the striations(?) look more interesting so I should remember that for next time.

A friend north of me, also in Illinois but on a farm, got more green toward the horizon as well in photos but to the naked eye he said it looked more like cloud cover.
