#Mastodon needs an "expand all posts" button, I appreciate the value of people putting certain topics behind spoiler tags but it's tiresome to have to hit "expand post" for every post in a thread and every post

Can someone explain why #Ubuntu repo syncs aren't atomic yet? Why do we still have lengthy periods where trying to 'apt update' results in this error?
> E: Failed to fetch http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/dists/jammy-proposed/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.xz File has unexpected size (21196 != 20840). Mirror sync in progress?

When representing a rectangle in code, I have values named "width" and "height", and it is immediately clear that those values represent "the length of the top & bottom edges" and "the length of the left & right edges"
When representing a square in code, what do you call the equivalent single value which represents "the length of the top, bottom, left & right edges"? "sideLength" would work but it's so much more clunky than "width"

Thing I find interesting: Hacker News always has this vaguely right-libertarian vibe, except when the topic of patents comes up, then everyone suddenly defends the idea of the state granting a legal monopoly of a given idea to some company for 20 years because "people who come up with something deserve to get rich"
