New Coke, 35 years on: Inside the recipe tweak that sparked nationwide backlash and almost ruined Coca-Cola
ewhac
@Gargron A Conspiracy Theory from that time suggested that the "blunder" was deliberate. Coke allegedly wanted to switch from a corn syrup/cane sugar mix to 100% corn syrup (much cheaper), but it kept failing side-by-side taste tests. Solution: Replace Coke with "new" Coke, wait two months, then, after everyone's memories have gone hazy, introduce Classic Coke using 100% corn syrup which tastes *almost* the same as the original. Coke looks silly, but saves millions in costs.

The new notifications UI on GitHub will take a lot of getting used to. Information overload 😕

I've just added this documentation page, which talks about why you, as a user, might want to run your own Mastodon server, and what that would require https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/run-your-own/ Let me know what you think!

@Gargron I think the document should also mention the work required to maintain the personal server. There are updates that require manual intervention, a small server will not last forever and at some point you will have to migrate, for example. In the end it is always the classic trade off, control vs convenience.

" I noticed that every page navigation generated a new HTTP POST request to a Stripe URL" "This was strange because none of the pages I visited contained any calls to Stripe’s library." oh my stars these are directly contradictory what business does this author have ANYWHERE near a website that handles money

@Gargron PS. I spoke with Patrick (their CEO) and he’s put my mind at rest. Birdsite link (sorry): https://twitter.com/aral/status/1252685385626460160?s=20

Hey, what other Mastodon hosting providers exist besides masto.host and hostdon.jp? Are there any?

So I'm just wondering... With static assets like images, adding an edge CDN is relatively simple. But with anything dynamic like API responses, not so much. There must be ways of dealing with that. Because, let's say my servers are in Germany, and you are in Australia. Any API response for you takes up to 800ms longer than for me.

My guess is that you would basically run a copy of your entire stack in different regions, from load balancer to database, but the databases would be set to replicate the master, and any writes would still go to the master. So information would *arrive* with a 800ms delay but the users wouldn't feel it most of the time. Also GeoDNS.

Trying to find a band I listened to around or before 2010 based on only a vague memory of really reverberated female lead vocals and possibly being from Brazil
Eugen Rochko
Haha, found it! Got the year wrong! It was in 2012. The band Scarlet Leaves. I knew it was something forest related and had an "a" in it. Gonna give this another go
Eugen Rochko
Just remembered a band I was listening to in around 2010: Fieldtriqp https://fieldtriqp.bandcamp.com/album/old-haunts-expanded #np

@Gargron They actually going to do it, partially, in may here in The Netherlands. I don't know, doesn't sound very good to me.
@Gargron: QC, Canada reopen schools between 11-19 April and it's not obligatory, and someone may stay at home with no penalty
