A few years ago I designed a way to detect bit-flips in Firefox crash reports and last year we deployed an actual memory tester that runs on user machines after the browser crashes. Today I was looking at the data that comes out of these tests and now I'm 100% positive that the heuristic is sound and a lot of the crashes we see are from users with bad memory or similarly flaky hardware. Here's a few numbers to give you an idea of how large the problem is. 🧵 1/5

Yesterday I wondered aloud why RSS readers look like email clients.

@brentsimmons replied. Turns out he borrowed that layout for NetNewsWire in 2002 — and twenty years later, he's asking why no one's tried something different.

That conversation became an essay. I built a visual version (with an ASCII fallback).

big fan of how most online political accounts are either progressives libbing out or leftists vagueposting and then being too conceited to elaborate

using excel to graph a chart with multiple lines is kind of like pleasing with a toddler to stop pissing and shitting everywhere (and then it keeps doing it anyways)

or, perhaps more accurately, like desparately negotiating with a hostage-taker
