Code that’s easy to extend generally encourages creating related code that’s easy to delete. These are very similar directives.

Noooo I had high hopes

If Fediverse users don’t even agree on whether instances are important or just an implementation detail, how could a new user know?

Do you have a reason to think this or did it just sound good in your head

You’re right, but man reading this is insufferable. You could be much more effective if you weren’t trying to be a dick in your responses.

Did you just say conservatism is a form of liberalism?

We need this for sure

This is why we need the map! I’m curious which prediction would be accurate.

It would be neat to have an interactive version where you can select different factors to control for, including pop. density, wealth level, children per family, etc.

Right, but that’s exactly my point, it likely wouldn’t just be one flat color. If you scale it by population density you get a map displaying the average distance between kids and parents compared to the average distance between any two people which I would expect to be 1. non-uniform and 2. more meaningful than raw kid-parent distance. The current map is useful and accurate, but I think the more interesting contributing factors are being drowned out by raw population density. Deciding what factors to control for (ie. pop. density, wealth level, etc.) results in a different meaningful outcome and is very important to consider when making conclusions based on the map. The image’s scale is probably too granular to do this analysis but if the raw data is finer-grained I would love to see a density-controlled version.

Thank you! I love VS Code

I spent like 3 hours yesterday deduplicating two functions that were hundreds of lines long and nearly identical. I should probably learn how to use that git command that can diff two files on disk. Luckily I actually enjoy cleaning up code sometimes.

It would be interesting to scale this by population density

Ok wtf is Moxilla doing? They know their company is built on good community perception, right?

It makes them feel good and devalues the quality of discussion. Benefits them, harms others.

God I hate people who use github comments for their own benefit. “Just fork it bro” is never helpful.

You know, I probably should have looked into this… yeah, this is me lol. I’ve seen floppies and we had an old rotary phone, but I’ve never heard of a beeper. It still sounds weird but at least there’s a reason.

Her name was already perfect for it

Nothing objectively, it just sounds so stupid to me that I have an irrational aversion lmao

I feel like I would enjoy Beeper but I just cannot get past the name
