“There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.”
Always remember, the silicon valley ethos of “break things” wasn’t about their applications, it was about breaking industry, society, laws and your ability to oversee or regulate them.
the tests are now larger than the thing itself
Is such a weird complaint. You should aim for your codebase to be as small, simple and readable as possible, while your tests should be a specification that guarantees behavior is consistent between refactors. When you add behavior, you add tests, when you remove a behavior, you delete tests.
The size of either is independent of eachother. Small code bases that provide lots of features should be simple to read, but with a lot of tests.
Like a fungus you learn to live with
considering how huge FB still is.
FB is only huge because they’ve expanded all over the globe, even providing internet to developing nations to facilitate new user acquisition. In reality they’ve been bleeding the original Western users that signed up between '04-'10, and growth among new generations flatland a long time ago. There’s a reason Meta aggressively expanded to other ventures (or attempt to create platforms) like Instagram, Threads, what’s app, VR and metaverse. Metas only chance at sustainable growth and capturing young people is to build or buy platforms young people will use, because it ain’t Facebook.
Apparently every code base I’ve ever worked on was run through this.
Machines aren’t people. Machines don’t learn. Machines copy data, manipulate and replicate it. That is copyright infringement. The laws for Machine duplication don’t apply to human learning.
They’re not dangerous, they’re safety razors after all
Remember when people were calling this dummy the “real life Tony Stark”? Lol.
Oh wow, I’ve seen this guys shorts start popping up constantly. He seems like he understands the algorithm enough to explode
When you leave Ontario for Quebec, the road signs become incomprehensible.
. 10,000 years ago is about when we developed agriculture, stopped roaming as much, and started writing in some form that could survive the millennia
This is bias towards a specific type of societal structure.
Lots of peoples with rich, complex and fascinating cultures continued to live successful nomadic lives for centuries past the introduction of agriculture.

In a 4-D chess move, by canceling everything with no resolution, they’ve made their shows not worth pirating by making them not worth watching.
I thought it was a balance between new shows getting better engagement than old shows, and contracts lasting 3 seasons, which required re-negotiations in favor of the talent. Basically a business model hyper-focused on subscriber growth metrics instead of subscriber retention.
Meanwhile PHP quietly runs 80% of the internet by being used for WordPress.
