Try to do any formatting more complex than none at all in Confluence. It just gets polluted with invisible markup and changes styling randomly.

I’ve heard of people printing out charts, then cutting out the part they wanted to calculate an integral of, then weighing the paper.

The internet could be and should be so much more

The internet is already too much.

That meme’s been on the front page every day for the last week. Did karma farming bots make their way here?

I really like PowerShell’s object-oriented approach to pipelines. Unix pipes feel really dated in comparison.

Surprisingly more readable than standard C++

Unix was originally a networked system that many terminals would connect to. Being able to actually reach the machine meant that you had authority.

It’s the same today. If someone has physical access, the system is so screwed that you can just give total privileges anyways.

I also used to have that message but it seems like they’ve got that back in order.

I remember that back then you could download an extension to pretend your user agent was Chrome and Teams would work flawlessly.

Yep.

But reading one outdated line of English is worse than reading 5 lines of code and seeing the true picture.

Teams is still horribly optimized and barely works though. I love having to restart my computer in order to be able to sign in.

Protip: It’s much faster and more stable when just opened as a webpage in Firefox

Stage 2: it works and you feel the dread that you won’t hunt that bug down until it crashes prod.

Because it’s better to deliver a page in a single request, than to deliver it in multiple. If you render the page on the client you end up making a lot of requests, each one requiring a round trip and adding more and more delay.

Lol

Hmm. Does the federation protocol only send information directly between servers, by that I mean that when something happens on A, does it send it to all other federated servers by itself?

If you could just proxy messages through other servers it would be an improvement. Essentially every instance would also be a hub. If you’re an instance A, connected to B and C, when B send you something you pass it onto C, instead of having C communicate with B directly.

In order to prevent spam you’d need whitelisting for the instances which you will act as a proxy for, and messages will have to be signed. Also, some protocol to discover the topology surrounding your server would be neat for optimizing delivery.

Pulling this out of my ass, but I think the problem might be in Lemmy using websockets.

I feel like supporting 1500 simultaneous users making a request every 10-20 seconds is easier than keeping 1500 websockets alive.

Irregardless, Lemmy does feel very snappy compared to other websites I’ve had the displeasure of using. Main problem is low robustness in the RPC layer.
