For me. I don’t care about resolution after I’ve downloaded it. Heck, I don’t need to know the resolution before downloading, I can tell by the file size.

Great reads! Thanks for posting.

I think it would be neat if, as something gained popularity, more and more of it were re-written in optimized assembly. I mainly work in .NET, which performs fine for what it is, but there are some libraries like Dapper (which is a micro-ORM) which are written in IL, which is incredibly difficult to do but results in it being insanely fast compared to what you could do in purely managed .NET. I’m sure if it were written in assembly it would be an order of magnitude faster than that.

I’ve learned recently on social media that the truth behind every headline/post is the most boring version of it, or to put it another way, every headline/post is written in the most explosive language possible to describe what actually happened. The vast majority of people never go further than the headline and take it face value, then post reactionary hatred hot takes.

It really bums me out. Makes it hard to enjoy the internet when everything is about riling people up, and people being riled up at the wrong thing.

It has some good points. I went through all 99 slides and thought it was rather interesting. Btw, there were no ads in the slides, which was good, because I would have left immediately.

Main focus is just how badly Reddit hurt their mobile web experience to constantly nag you to use their shitty app.

That could be avoided by using on prem properly, too. People are very capable of making bad infrastructure whether on prem or cloud.

I used to like bootstrap. Still do. But it has some faults… Depending on your needs you’re loading a lot of CSS you aren’t using.

Bootstrap 5.3 is 59kb before gzip. 6700 lines of code. That’s a lot to just apply some simple styles.

There are a ton of lighter weight alternatives nowadays.

I think there are many users who simply don’t care as long as there are memes and content. They won’t leave for a long time. But as users who do care leave, the content will decline and others will follow.

Soon we will look back amazed at these growing little numbers. They’re growing quickly but I expect it to grow by one or two more orders of magnitude over the coming months!

Glad it is fixed. The site already feels way faster!

Right? It’s like wikipedia tripling their paid staff, then complaining that they aren’t getting enough donations to break even.

I think it needs a critical mass to keep enough content flowing, but being a major player on the Internet isn’t as desirable as it once was. A few million active users would be plenty. Once you get to Reddits size, undesirables are attracted… Companies want to advertise, governments take notice, news companies comment about everyday BS, and “investors” want to buy it and find ways to monetizing.
