Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics:
A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports.
Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply more likely to file bugs.
Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA
A small, cooperative, #wool processing mill, close to the people who keep the #sheep.
#Scotland's wool is an amazing resource producing high #quality, highly insulating fibre which can be made into excellent stuff – but most of it now goes to waste.
@kennysmith I know, since #DW / @dw_innovation - unlike @tagesschau / #ARD, @ZDF & Co. - don't get conditionless revenue aka. #LicensingFees but are paid for entirely by Germany's federal budget, thus depend on political will and desire to keep their lights on as foreign broadcaster...
In return, I think this also results in a generally far higher standard of #quality and excellence in #journalism as they've to constantly justofy their existance as "expense" whilst competing against others...
I'm going to have a bit of a #tech#rant (less charitable people might say #whine) here. If you just want jokes and cute bunny pictures, feel free to skip this one.
Object of my #ire this week? #Furnaces. I'm not even going to rant about their main control boards; most of that's been said better than I could say it, by others with more knowledge than I.
The #hot air rises to the ceiling, and the #cold air pools at floor level. Without all the drafts and leaks to stir the air up, this means that your #feet feel #freezing even if the room is nominally the right temperature.
(2) #Indoor#air#quality went down. No more fresh air coming in around every window and door and half a dozen other places in each room.
To help mitigate this, one solution is to keep the furnace fan #running all the time, not just when it's actually producing heat.
The actual 3-phase motor is #simple - that's one of the reasons they're used in industry, simple means less to go #wrong. And it appears to be well-made, so there are #quality#bearings and #windings and everything in it. But the motor itself isn't expensive. Rheem probably doesn't pay more than USD 100 for that part of it, and maybe less.
Twitch sucks. Even on a 200Mbit line the stupid thing keeps stuttering, 720p looks like 480p, and there's no scrubber/timeline to jump back in time, pause or watch like a VOD then jump to LIVE....
The entire city of #Yellowknife is being evacuated. This is unprecedented and terrifying.
And thousands of citizens aren’t aware because Meta continues to block news in the country.
This is what happens when citizens are convinced to use an American multinational corporation as their community’s primary communications channel — a corporation that couldn’t give two shits about anything except its “fiduciary duty” to shareholders.
Because the people who have problems can't get help without self-incrimination...
Not that I'd excuse any substance abuse whatsoever, but compared to the amounts of domestic violence caused by drunk men, that danger is far lower than advertised by statistics...
It seems like the expectation is that they are the same, but that does not appear to be the case. It could be just the differences between the accounts generating the posts that I'm commenting on, but it feels like in general, comments (even well-written, lengthy responses with #hashtags) disappear into the wind, while any basic post, directly submitted to the stream gets #engagement.
Does someone have a "who sees your post" flowchart for Masto that includes #comments?
If I understand correctly, there is no residual #information on user and/or post #Quality being used in the algorithm?
This also has relevance for discussions about intra-network content #curation, #factcheck, #reputation, and other #SocialMedia#community functions that could be getting shortchanged by the current protocols & other norms.
Should we use #coverage reports only for #unittest or also for integration and functional testing?
Should the test directory split into unit, integration and functional tests or should all tests in one root tests folder? (Both following the namespace rules)
Update. In medical journals, "women were underrepresented among authors of retracted articles, and, in particular, of articles retracted for #misconduct." https://www.jmir.org/2023/1/e48529
If would be great for youtube to be the default streaming service
