Im curious as to why they picked the commit cadence they did. Why do this over the course of two years and not, say 8 months or 15 months? After committing the first patch, why did they wait x days/weeks/months to commit the second? Were they timing the commits off of release schedules, following some predetermined schedule, or something else?
My favorite is Fark's word-changing filters and their unintended side effects. The no-no words are scanned across whitespace and reversed, and any hits get translated to the approved word. "Shit" becomes "Shiat", the N word becomes "nubian", etc
Every so often someone will find their sentence that contains something like "I will have ham or egg in my sandwich" becomes "I will have ham onaibun my sandwich"
I have ADHD, major depression, and I did 8 weeks of TMS therapy last year. In the end it did help my depression some, but it isn't a night-and-day difference.
It did, however, completely change how I see myself, to the point where I feel disconnected and separate from the person in my memory. Likewise, my sense of empathy and how I few the world is completely different, for the better.
