@chirpbirb @thephd they heap on my core till i space

@QuietMisdreavus I've done this before and it went okay, but I imagine some people roll with it better than others. Sometimes I sidestep it by blaming poor audio quality.

@koumeposter I prefer to believe it was in the sense of rendering fat. Heat Caesar until the lard separates from the meat.

@cheetah_spottycat We'd probably be well served by moving away from thinking about "criminals" as a reified category at all. Technically, jaywalkers are criminals, but we never call them that. The way people generally use the term "criminal" is ideologically slanted in a way that, as far as I can see, makes it basically synonymous with "evil subhuman".

@thephd "be not afraid" says Rust concurrency, gazing at me with the thousand eyes on its twelve wings

@emmaaum @ferrous That's pretty much right. Replication issues are probably also part of it: Twitter is essentially centralized, but for performance reasons they have to spread data around many servers. This is a bit of a contradiction and very difficult to get right. Temporary inconsistencies are common in designs like this, potentially causing issues like missed notifications. Mastodon does this better partly because it does not try to act like it's centralized.

@myrrlyn putting off the painful part by means of yak

@myrrlyn I think part of me hates what the web has become enough that I have the opposite priorities

@thephd What's more astonishing to me is that Rob Pike decided not to fix this problem when he made Go, making source generation (not even structured! it's string interpolation!) the idiomatic workaround.
