1moDEV UPDATE

Just pushed a massive, massive backend re-architecture - "trending" algo is now hackerrank algo, not reddit. HN algo makes much more sense for our community. - All DB reads and writes should be quite a bit faster - Pagination should be basically perfect + fast now, denormalized data + cursor based pagination - BEST OF ALL: I get to pay a lot less per month 😉 This makes it a lot easier for me to make features. I will keep pumping that shit out at any means necessary. Also, t-shirts coming soon. MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄

23dDEV UPDATE

one last dev update thread before i make changelog: Redid the rich text editor (now uses tiptap v3, same one substack uses). Images uploaded to your content are directly uploaded to our DB, so you don't need to do the janky URL image embed thing anymore. Also just looks a lot better. Jan 11 6:45 PM EST: I just accidentally broke the site a bit for like 30 min because I pushed a premature infinite scroll (for everything) feature. Sorry for the 500s

“[...N]ational glory became ever more pronounced and tawdry amid a dead and dying political life. The powers in the zones and state entities everywhere adopted the same methods, driven both by pressure to assert themselves, and by the devices around which they clustered: techniques of arousal, satiation, stuffing, overfeeding. Obesity consequent on castration, the affectation placidity benevolence and sweetness of eunuchy became fashionable: grotesque impotent impulse. They were spared the narcissism of the masses. Monitoring Committees went secretly among the people, but already even the austere ruling clans were drinking from the poison they served. The flow of inventions abated, people lived from what had been handed down, settled into the rights and duties assigned them.”
