They must have updated. I went there just now and it looks at least a little bit better.
Give it a lick!
My vote is for: [email protected]
My honorable mentions are qtpi and seraph. They both currently have more votes than anne so anne gets my vote.
Aye, after seeing the pictures this instance could very easily get into trouble for hosting that kind of content. Keep in mind that the site is not hosted in the US, but Canada.
It's up for me. This might just be a fail-safe response if the server software drops or something like that (especially since the Lemmy software hasn't been thoroughly tested except lately). If Beehaw intended to permanently take down their instance they'd probably make beehaw.org link to a blog post instead of a white screen that just says "deleted".
Although it's a little less convenient than just remembering across refreshes, you can set a default sort in your profile if there's a particular sort you like.
That being said I find myself hopping between Top Day and Hot so I can only start on one or the other. Would be nice if it just remembered.
Another good sort is "Top Day". The blackout and subsequent activity here really highlighted an issue in Hot where the most popular communities just endlessly get interaction and stay at the top of Hot/Active. On the other hand, Top Day has been continuously bringing in new posts from all my communities.
The best experience is probably going to be using a combination of the two, swapping if one feels like it's getting stale.
Better to have more servers as opposed to one ultra powerful server because the ultra powerful server tends to be more expensive than an equivalent strength collection of weaker servers. Also, you pay for all the power even during times you don't need it whereas you can take down or add more weak servers as necessary.
There's nothing special about a generic for loop (at least in C-like languages). There's no reason you couldn't do something like
for (i = 0; true; i++)to make it infinite. Some languages even support an infinite list generator syntax likefor i in [0..](e.g. it lazily generates 0, then 1, then 2, etc. on each iteration) so you can use a for-each style loop to iterate infinitely.Now, whether or not you should do such things is another question entirely. I won't pretend there aren't any instances where it's useful, but most of the time you're better off with a different structure.
