That's disappointing, they've done a great job making plant meat ubiquitous and took away some of the hippy aura that has kept many people from trying plant-based meat alternatives. I really hope they can turn it around, both self

There's a 13 mini

I disagree. I'm reading and typing this from an iPhone 13 mini. I use a big one for work so it's not like I don't know what I'm missing. I very strongly prefer the small form factor

That's not true, the llama that's open source is pretty much exactly what's used internally

Those numbers are a big legal thing because they influence share price. I don't know how exactly they're calculated and I'm sure the most positive spin is used (such as click through from instagram) but if they were actually

WhatsApp makes absolutely no money with spam. There isn't a per-message cost or however you think that would work

There's over 350M monthly active users. Seems like plenty of momentum?

It's been 11 years. If they hadn't been bought they'd have found a different monetization model long ago

It's... faster for IO bound workloads? That's literally the whole point of async

When people do cool stuff they share it on metas platforms, which drives ad impressions

And then how would we pay for that server capacity?

I wish we had batteries so small and powerful but there's no way to record constantly with a tiny device like that

by phyrex 2y ago
I assume you're consistent and therefore also want to ban any other photo or video device in most public places?

by phyrex 2y ago
You're on hacker news, you must have some understanding of technology. Do you really think a tiny device like this has the battery power to record everything all the time, let alone upload it to meta?

by phyrex 2y ago
Yeah that seems really well adjusted. I assume you also punch everyone that happens to point a cellphone in your general direction?

That's been resolved

It's a mono repo across a dozen languages (good luck with ctags) that tens of thousands of developers commit to every day. Even if you'd spend the hours indexing it locally, it would be out of date right away.

You're already expected to learn a number of exotic (Hack) or old (C++) languages at Meta, so I'm pretty sure that's not the reason. To quote from another comment I made: > I don't have any numbers, but we know that t

I don't have any numbers, but we know that the Meta family of apps has ~3B users, and that most of them are on mobile. Let's assume half of them are on Android, and you're easily looking at ~1B users on Android. If you have a

As a consumer you're only ever seeing the tip of the iceberg of Meta apps. There are at least 3 major user groups: The consumers, the producers, and the advertisers, and each of them is at least as complex as the others. Then you have

From the article: > The short answer is that any remaining Java code can be an agent of nullability chaos, especially if it’s not null safe and even more so if it’s central to the dependency graph. (For a more detailed explanation, see t
