No, they totally succeeded because the used php. I think zuckerberg said it himself that php allowed them to add new features easily. I think he mentioned that it was easy for new people to pick it up. I’m pretty sure Facebook wouldn’t exis

This is Apple though. It is very likely that this will be a successful product. How many windows mobile/Symbian devs were burned before the iPhone came out? If you can, you should totally give it a shot.

Crossing fingers for this to take off. There’s a lot of potential applications for a device like this.

Why not? Isn’t there a legal precedence from google using java in android (or was it another company?)

Would mid-journey be liable though? I mean you can create copyrighted material using photoshop too. (Even paint!). If I create a Mickey Mouse using photoshop would adobe be liable for it?

Yeah, I know the performance optimization were in part because of hhvm.

This should be the solution. If they’re trials for an unproven solution, why should they pay anything at all. I’m any case, it should be the other way around; it’s the companies who should pay the person for subjecting them to something ver

“ But by that logic, if the language they had been most familiar with was Fortran, should they have used Fortran for Facebook” Absolutely. Otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to release the actual product and keep adding features to it t

When you have half a billion users that both read and write all day, you have to optimize, no matter the tech.

They succeeded because of php. It was easy to use for them. So it enabled them to materialize their ideas. It was the right tool for them. Anything else would have been fine either way, if it was the language they were the most comfortable

Learn what? That you should use the language that you’re more comfortable with and then scale? Or that languages have become more efficient? Php 8, for example, is many times faster than the php 4 and 5 that Facebook was using.

There’s no way reddit has anywhere near a billion users. It has millions. Facebook is ubiquitous, pretty much anyone from any age, gender and a country has heard of Facebook. Reddit is a big site, but it’s still a niche site when compared t

I have to disagree. Landing on a reddit thread after googling something is very common.

by rafark 3y ago
Um, just a thought. Shouldn’t people be posting these things outside of reddit? The admins can always take down posts like this.

I know spam is a ver big deal, but that wasn’t my experience. I wasn’t around in the 90s so I don’t know what it used to be like. But just a little over half a decade ago the blogs I used to visit still had people interacting with each othe

Yes. The mob mentality is an issue on reddit and has made me refrain from giving my honest opinion on a lot of topics because of the fear of being downvoted to hell. I think an upvote or like only system like Facebook or twitter would be mu

Most forums run on xenforo nowadays which is extremely solid and reliable.

The trend that I hate the most is blogs without comments. I don’t know when it started, but a few years ago I suddenly noticed most blogs started to turn off their comments section one by one. I don’t know why they’d do that. Interacting wi

Of course you as a user don’t care that is profitable. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m not picking sides, but if you were the ceo/owner, you’d probably care about its profitability. If you were the owner of such a big site, wouldn’t yo

Wait until he finds out JSX actually comes from PHP (it was first implemented in php by Facebook).

by rafark 3y ago
Agreed. It’s awful. It tried to innovate too much that it resulted in a not so easy to use app. Glad most forums use xenforo.

Why do you think so? According to the dictionary, ironic could be something paradoxical or weird.

I think it’s ironic that M$ made ClosedAI.

Well that’s the problem then. You could say your problem has more to do with the relevancy of the results than the exact match operator (I personally don’t mind in this case since for the few times I’ve had to write python I’ve found the of

It’s not broken. I use the exact match operator “” all the time and it works pretty much every time. Selecting verbatim works even better. https://i.ibb.co/D8VfKxc/75-FC1-FC6-DFD7-4-E2-A-A717-DBD8463...

Absolutely. I’d rather have companies making these type of high quality products even if I can’t afford them to not having products like this in the market at all.

You wouldn’t watch movies or shows with this thing? I’m pretty sure this will make watching videos in tiny rectangles from our phones and TVs seem so outdated.
