I did clarify at the end of the post. The analogy with Google and Google+ is spot on, and it’s clear that this is just another app tied to your Ig account just as messenger is an app tied to your Facebook account.

Apart from it being a separate app it is the same. There’s a one to one mapping of instagram account to thread account, so closely intertwined that deleting your threads account deletes the IG one. When you download facebook messenger as a

I think this is true. I'm sure there are practical reasons for a slow rollout, but this kind of exclusive rollout to flagship US stores will lead to a lot of coverage of people lining up get the device. It will generate worldwide deman

For a moment was intrigued what contact would do on a buffer but I think you meant concat.

Very timely. I've been using some inherited Typescript on a project for a while and was looking for exactly this kind of concise laying out of the language that you can read in an hour or two.

This would be about the tenth death of Twitter proclaimed loudly and confidently on this very site. Meanwhile Twitter’s popularity continues to grow. Good luck with this one.

Why do people oppose Twitter? It's a social network, you can choose not to use it.

What would rising levels of being lifted out of poverty suggest? The equality gap doesn’t count for much if you starve or freeze to death, and poverty is declining world wide.

We have the forth largest oil reserves in the world and they are coming out of the ground at some point because the need for it is unlikely to go away. We should be investing in becoming the best at oil extraction and doing it as safely and

I would say that making money from sites content by putting it somewhere else with your own ads is simply not allowed. What I would allow is you to charge a subscription to use the api which goes to Reddit and you get some cut like 30%.

The business model being, we make a client so bad that you will willingly give us money to not use it.

Forgive me if I'm making a simplistic reading of this, but it seems the CEO has said that whilst apps and bots are making some good money, Reddit is losing money. Assuming Reddit has already taken cost saving measures (with 2000 staff

I have a channel with 800 subs and I get between a few hundred and a couple of thousand views on the videos, which are about functional programming and category theory. I don't really optimize for views or subscribers though. My reason

I also use this pattern quite often but slightly different. Something like "you want to do X, but Y gets in the way, but there's cool thing Z that saves the day" The whole point of the video is Z. Note it's no accident t

Yes, to be clear I am talking about general purpose gc out of control of the developer. Certainly not arguing for the most low level memory management imaginable. All the techniques you mentioned are valuable.

by justinhj 3y ago
GC is a no no for game development when the game is trying to extract every last cpu cycle and byte of ram, which is most leading edge games. If you’re not in that category GC is fine, but if you are it’s a massive tax.

Great to see a CLU mention here. There are number of interesting papers and documents floating around but it's rarely mentioned, presumably because it was always a research language and only used by a handful of people in industry. The

Individuals do not (although a class action would be feasible), but large companies that use Github and other Microsoft products, of course they have both the means to sue Microsoft and the motivation should their business be impacted.

"Twitter already had a $400m paid API business…They fired the entire team so that business will go to $0 soon." Any fact checking on this?

by justinhj 4y ago
If Twitter has issues it’s because Musk is a foolish billionaire who fired too many people. If it doesn’t have issues then it’s just a testament to the brilliant engineers before his tenure. In other words he can’t win. I expect Twitter wil

A bon mot I saw on a sign outside a liquor store: When I was young I thought a $1000 was a lot of money. Now I’m older I realize that $1000 is a great deal of money indeed.

I would much prefer a Twitter link. I can more easily share it with people and it’s a much more pleasant user experience.
