Bug Blindness: danluu.com/bug-blind/

I used to wonder why I see so many more bugs than most people. I easily observe hundreds to thousands of bugs per week, but most people I talk to don't see anything like this. For a long time, I thought this had something to do with how I use computers but, over time, I've realized that it's mostly that people are hitting the same bugs and don't notice.

If you're not a programmer, that's probably a better way to see the world, but I think curing quality/bug blindness is helpful for programmers. I've done this with a lot of friends and acquaintances by just pointing out bugs. After a few weeks of this, people who are so inclined tend to start noticing bugs as well (the fact that this has happened so many times is what makes me think that my running into so many bugs is more about my noticing them than about how I interact with computers).

Because I notice these kinds of things, I've had multiple jobs where directors/VPs/execs/etc. sometimes ask me to evaluate something because I'm relatively likely to notice issues (and fix them or drive fixes for them if necessary). Sometimes I won't find any issues (there are likely issues that just aren't the kind I notice). More often, I find issues that fall somewhere from "mild" to "moderate". And, sometimes, the issues are severe, to the point where an uncharitable person might even say the thing doesn't actually work.

I find this last category a bit mysterious, as when I look up discussions on how the thing got into this state, there's usually a stream of internal comments indicating that the thing is great, it works well, etc., but when I open up the thing and try it, it's in a state where the thing only works if you do quite a few non-intuitive bug workarounds. I've had this post in mind for maybe a decade or so, but I was hesitant to write it up because, in the back of my mind, I always wondered if I'm somehow triggering weird corner case behavior most users don't hit without realizing it. But after seeing more and more…

This is complete spitballing but I do remember 12ish as a time when I became really concerned with rules and order but also What The Future Holds for the first time (prob cause puberty chaos) so it makes sense that a vision of an orderly adulthood would appeal even if you realize it does suck

evo, like so many other events, started in an aracade and grew to the point it had to move to hotels/convention centers evo is an example of one of the multiple branches that a fighting game event can become; evo isn't THE fighting game community the FGC will be fine regardless of evo's future

The moment that Sony bought up EVO I knew it was going to just fall apart. Not because "Sony Bad" but because now EVO had entered the world of big corporate money. And nothing enters that world without being tainted. But damn, just because you expected it doesn't make it any easier.

Bad News IPv4 Fans!
Linus Torvalds has announced removing IPv4 support from the Linux kernel after the maintainers of the network stack got into a fight over what kind of HRT gives the best results
(screenshot where Alice said HRT is best injected, Luna disagrees and calls the other a gigahon, and Linus replies, saying both are stupid and that he's dropping support for IPv4 from Linux)
This incident will impact 5 billion people and will make 95% of all network equipment on earth binnable.

The conservative movement is lying about basically every empirical "debate" of our time, from climate change to voter fraud to vaccines. Why is it so impossible for reactionary centrists to contemplate the possibility they're lying about trans healthcare too?

It’s cool how the first 10 or so years of hard rock invented so many image/vibe templates that rock/metal bands still use today - mysterious occultists (Zeppelin) - lost souls tormented by demons (Sabbath) - swaggering virtuosos (Deep Purple) - a bunch of stupid assholes who suck ass (Aerosmith)

It's always good to see software that isn't embarrassed of the fact that it's made and maintained by humans. Be proud to be vibrant and interesting and don't sterilize yourself to fit somebody else's tastes. Or – as this points out – use that to make the persnickety folks do some work themselves.

Today I discovered that people have been uploading old stock photo CD-ROMs to the Internet Archive and now I'm obsessed with the mid-'90s business-core aesthetic.

A stock photo of two people doing business on a staircase.

Two dudes standing around a watercooler, presumably having a 'watercooler conversation' about last night's Seinfeld or whatever.

A woman reclining in a chair in a business suit with her shoes off.

A guy in a suit on a city street doing some damn business on a cell phone. The business never stops!!!!!

Just like no one believes they're impacted by advertising, no one with these usage patterns seems to believe that it could slowly shape their thinking. I am significantly less concerned about obvious hallucinatory errors (these are easy to catch) than I am about subtle drivers of intellectual bias
