For the impatient: the game stores much of its state in global variables which may easily be manipulated in the console.

$44 billion so he can finally call something "X" without any grownups in the room to tell him why it's a terrible idea. Well, I guess we all have our hobbies.

I wonder what the CEO thinks about this?

Didn't Elon himself try to do something to prevent it when he tried to weasel out of the deal?

From these comments I can only assume that the Thunderbird project is going to have a lot of new contributors in the near future. :) Create the future you want to see!

I love how they snuck that in at the very end, like it'd soften the blow.

The site is totally unusable right now unless you're a paid subscriber, in which case it's only very slightly less unusable - so by definition I'd say yeah, Twitter as we knew it has been destroyed. Whether Elon intends to ba

Elon says a lot of things, like last fall when he was crowing about how Twitter had the bot problem licked. Fast forward to today and bot spam is worse than ever before. You can believe what you want. I choose to believe what I see with my

I always assumed Yaccarino was merely a figurehead installed in an effort to make Twitter more palatable to advertisers. Elon never stopped making policy pronouncements from his personal account despite nominally giving up the CEO title.

The fact that even paid subscribers are limited to 6000 posts a day (seems like a lot, very much isn't if you're a remotely active user) is utterly bonkers. What other platform works like this?

It really feels like we're witnessing the end of an era. Elon is doggedly piloting Twitter into the ground and Reddit seems strangely compelled to follow his lead. Reddit may recover - I'm not so sure about Twitter. What technolog

Americans are slaves to cars. We treat the ability to drive a monster truck to the grocery store as a sacred right and anyone who would dare impede our progress for a handful of seconds (pedestrians, yes, but ESPECIALLY those rotten tree-hu

Everyone knows conservative views are censored. You can tell from the way we're constantly bombarded with them across all forms of media.

Yeah, I think it's something you just have to get a feel for over time. Sometimes prop drilling is the lesser of two evils, other times it makes more sense to break related state up into a shared context. At least the React ecosystem a

Svelte tries to improve upon the relatively complex/heavyweight runtime of something like React by shifting as much of that complexity to the build step as possible. It also takes a more "batteries-included" approach compared

If the banging hasn't been heard since could the sounds be related to the vessel imploding? Oxygen tanks or similar rupturing? You'd think if the passengers were still alive they'd continue to make noise at regular intervals

This is the question people should be asking rather than trying to identify which Digg employee should be retroactively thrown under the bus. Just a completely insane design decision.

If you're really so worried about teachers preying on your kids (ah, the latest conservative boogeyman rears its head!) sending them to a religious school is statistically speaking the last thing you should do.

Both a sensible business move and the right thing to do. If they could magically roll up the entirety of WDW and relocate it elsewhere I suspect they would.

lol, there are dormant accounts on Twitter going back at least a decade. NPR doesn't tweet for two weeks and now it's "no special treatment?" What a clown. I hope NPR does start tweeting again. One tweet a week, solely c
