One of the most annoying things about the X app has been fixed – for now

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-11-11 17:30:50

The most annoying thing about X is, well, X – but the company has at least fixed an app behavior many of us found frustrating. Just 18 years after users started complaining about it, X’s head of product said that a fix is now rolling out … That irritation? You’ve just started reading something at the top of your feed, and then the feed spontaneously reloads and it is lost forever. Entrepreneur and investor Jesse Pujji repeated the complaint a few days ago, and product lead Nikita Bier says it

UK faces legal challenge over attempt to force through data center development

cnbc.com Ryan Browne 2025-11-12 03:55:49

The U.K. government is facing a legal challenge from campaigners over its decision to override a local authority and wave through development of a new "hyperscale" data center. Last year, the local authority of Buckinghamshire, England, denied planning permission for proposals to build a new 90-megawatt data center on green belt land. The green belt is a term in British town planning that refers to an area of open land on which building is restricted. Data centers, large facilities that house

In his article Why I chose OCaml as my primary language, my friend Xavier Van de Woestyne presents, in the section Dependency injection and inversion, two approaches to implementing dependency injection: one using user-defined effects and one using modules as first-class values. Even though I’m quite convinced that both approaches are legit, I find them sometimes a bit overkill and showing fairly obvious pitfalls when applied to real software.

Data, objects, and how we're railroaded into poor design (2018)
