This is an absolutely magnificent thread by Yishan Wong on the challenges faced by anyone who wants to run a large social platform of any kind (or wants to pass regulation).
Bottom line: the Problem is Human Nature.

Posts like this really make me think containers are The Way, but there’re still so many limitations around tooling and experience. I’m looking forward to the day when that’s all in the past.
Been working near/with Terraform at work lately, and while I understand what it’s doing in the end, I still haven’t wrapped my head around how it gets that done.
Globally, humpback whales have recovered to about 70 percent of their pre-whaling population size
I had no idea they had recovered anywhere close to this much.
Weather Line, the best weather app for iOS by far, is now a week out from shutting down.
I’ve tried a bunch of other weather apps and widgets since the announcement, and while there are a lot of good ones out there, I’ve found nothing as good as Weather Line, which has been perfect for me.

We lost our pet cat, Tad, this week.
He was 14, and outlived my marriage (that’s a bet I would have lost).
He was always kind of a pain: he loved to try to trip you by walking between your legs, he was huge, always wanted to lay on your lap at the worst time, loved to go outside, roll in the dirt, and immediately come lay on furniture, and never figured out how to sit nearby without kneading with his sharp-as-razors claws.
Still, he was a fixture around the house. He was loving, handsome, always loyal.
He is dearly missed.
