I've written difftastic packaging instructions: https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/packaging_difftastic.html The different distros have taken different approaches, so I'm trying to help with common gotchas — don't forget the man page! Feedback welcome, especially if you've ever packaged something 🙂

I'm a huge fan of Swift's 'Error Handling Rationale' design document: https://github.com/swiftlang/swift/blob/9315673c003875158852579bd1f33480cdec5461/docs/ErrorHandlingRationale.md#fundamentals It carefully defines terminology and compares with other languages, so you can understand Swift's position and preference in the design space.

I'm not a fan of the mastodon web UI behaviour where moving down with cursor keys 'snaps' to the next toot. Is it possible to disable this, so my cursor keys always move the page by a consistent visual amount? I've poked in the settings and didn't see anything obvious.
