Guess it's pretty decent code when the point of contention is about a single variable name being abbreviated.

What kind of content are people looking for that they can't find on a Meta-filtered feed? Pretty sure I'll get to see all my finance, programming and shitposting content I get on Twitter in there, what am I missing out on?

Is there any good article comparing performance across programming languages? Seems like everytime I see one they're broken because the tested logic is poorly implemented in language(s) XYZ.

By that logic, when you create an account for some website through your Gmail you're not creating an account.

Threads still takes you through the expected signup loop of adding bio/description, finding follows and what not. It's just missing an email verification because it goes through IG.

Could it be coming from within if you get yourself in bar fights often enough to make it a consideration for not going out?

I've had my fair share of bars and clubs. Never once got remotely close to be involved in a fight, it's not something that even crosses my mind as a potential issue.

Botting TribalWars kinda got me into programming 3-4 years ago. Fun times, automating farming gives you time to play politics, but managing a top 3 tribe was kind of a full time job even when you don't have to grind.

Obviously Spain, less obviously so Italy, and obviously not Germany despite Péron. There is a fair amount of German descendants, but their ancestors predate WW1, let alone WW2's high profile nazis that were let in (I'm assuming this is the basis of your comment, apologies if not).

Europe would be in a depression if you couldn't drink coffee while driving stick, which you certainly can.

There was an article not long ago from AWS saying they'll be focussing on cutting cost for customers. Maybe the next step of that process will be pushing their clients off of AWS and telling them to just host on prem.

Anyone who says that hasn't paid attention to the industry that spawned the most highly valued company for a while now. Apple captures like 20% of devices and 80% of the industry's profit.

Not saying that's gonna happen with Tesla, I'm not making that bet, but who's to say how it will turn out they could drive outsized margin from their peers with some mix of brand (not that Elon's been helping lately), differentiators and software add-on. In an industry where revenues are very high and margins very competitive (low), each percent of margin gained is really meaningful.

It's a colloquial term for recommendation engines, how often do you hear people say "the algorithm" (vs. "the recommendation engine") on YouTube?

It always had it.

Edit: Why am I downvoted? It literally did, it even was named as you'd expect it ("sort by latest" or something), tho the location was less obvious as it was under the stars icon above the feed.

It removes the extra weight to Twitter blue tweets?

That's a pretty funny version of paperclipping, somehow sounds even more probable tho.

Bet they'll be fined less than they've earned?

Aren't interstate roads highways in the US? I don't think it matters what your safety score is if you crash into a stationary object at 100-120 km/h, the car obviously gets destroyed.

Of course, people have this habit of spending every dollar they earn and more, no matter how much they earn. But I struggle to see the tragedy in them having to downsize their life as a result of their overhired job getting cut and even less to pity them if they didn't build some nest egg with those salaries. It's not like Meta employees are some bottom shelf developpers anyway, they'll find more work I'm not scared for them.

Sociopathic? Are the laid off $300k/y developpers going to struggle getting food on their plates?

What about a monkey in a superman suit shooting lasers?

I meant he probably wouldn't publicly talk about his pranking history on his podcast tour if he wants to con everyone.

If someone starts sending thousands or tens of thousands of balloons into American airspace to make the cost of shooting them down "significant", won't your congress consider that an act of war? It's quite a leap from the odd stray weather balloon to send them en masse.

We'll all have bigger problems if that day comes than the pesky billion or two it will cost from the US $773B DoD budget.

No propulsion, wind-controlled, motor vehicle-equivalents... Yeah it's a balloon.

One might think such an elaborate prankster would keep his benign pranks to himself when going on a podcast tour to protect appearances.

I'm lucky that I've never battled with addiction to hard drugs, but I have struggled for 10 years with cigarettes and all of my adult life with weed and being online. Personally, while weed has had the most detrimental effect on my life (partly by synergizing so well with mind-numbing time-wasters), the hardest one for me to get rid of is 100% my toxic relationship with the Internet.

It's incredible to me that we all have the powerful dopamine dispensers in out pockets; trained on billions of users and well calibrated to our personal pitfalls. I find the mechanisms of addiction and the emotional loop they put you in to be virtually the same between the 3, despite them being so different in how they are "ingested" and affect your brain.

Neither, it's way higher then SBC and outstanding shares are decreasing.

It's cash returned to shareholders.

Fair, I agree they probably couldn't buy something like Clubhouse.

I brought up Within because it was talked about a lot on fin-Twit as proof/sign they can't M&A anymore.

It basically is, but as with everything if your pockets are deep enough you can sue someone to bankruptcy for doing something they're allowed to. That issue is way deeper then scraping.

You realize that this is the bullish take?

They just won in court like two days ago against the FTC to go forward with Within's acquisition.

They barely bought more than last Q (500M more) and 3 times less than Q4-21. Nothing extraordinary with this buyback, they even have a few B authorized remaining.

The only surprise with the buyback streak since last year is how poorly executed it was. They dumped $45B ahead of anouncing a decrease in DAU, then trickled after it tanked the stock.
