Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s not the core functionality. If you don’t want a personalized feed why are you using Facebook in the first place? They don’t really do anything else.

Everyone saying "linear code doesn't scale" actually has it backwards - it's concise functions with a deeply nested call stack that really becomes a nightmare in large codebases. It's never obvious where new code s

I'm not saying that what Stripe, Paypal, Adyen, etc do isn't a lot of work, I just don't see how there's a moat there. For example I'd be shocked if the Amazon deal wasn't on terms that basically give Stripe v

The real question is, how do any of these companies (payment service providers) get to be worth more than a few billion? It's obviously an extremely low margin commodity business in the long run; this miss is only the beginning.

It’s a testament to the subtlety of software engineering that even after four tries (protobuf 1-3, capn proto 1) there are still breaking changes that need to be made to the solution of what on the surface appears to be a relatively constra

The point is that legacy admissions have always been an egregious injustice. One effect of affirmative action was to (partially and imperfectly) ameliorate the admissions situation. Now that's gone. As far as the freedom of associati

I honestly just don’t understand why anyone would care about this distinction. I’d support a total ban on all advertising, but I simply can’t fathom giving a damn about exactly which data points were used in the targeting.

In case you’re wondering: “Now, here's the thing: this motor isn't a one-stroke engine. It has a compression stroke and exhaust stroke, making it a two-stroke cycle. INNengine acknowledges this and has said that it brands the moto

The article misses what really happened to “counterculture” - it’s been killed by increasing social and economic stratification. Sure, in the early 90s it was still possible to shock conservatives but what really made counterculture viable

It’s true that there are a couple different models of a social networking application - Facebook, Twitter, Wechat, and Telegram all of meaningfully distinctions. But basically, there’s a lot more similarity than difference, and probably no

What if the “arrangement” is a TOS that you agree to, wherein you agree to render the content how they want? Will you stop using the site, or just ignore the TOS?

Hm, I have the opposite point of view: I don’t see why anybody uses Spotify when Youtube gives you the same thing for the same price and throws in ad free youtube at no extra charge.

The question is whether the fediverse is a community, or infrastructure. You wouldn’t argue that toxic people should be prevented from using the roads or the power grid.

The top comment is also skeptical of WASM. You got downvoted because your comment has nothing interesting to say and no purpose other than to fan a flame war.

I think the fact that the most viable way to run Rust on the JVM right now is by compiling to WASM really says it all. JVM is going to die, WASM is the future.

A bit off topic but as someone who has never used UDFs, how can running them inside of transactions possibly be performant? Is this something which is actually useful for consumer / “web scale” applications or is it mainly just for en

Just don’t tip, problem solved. (Obviously you have to tip in restaurants to not be a monster, but everywhere else just don’t do it. And if you want to not tip waiters… the world needs monsters sometimes.)

Google’s blog was too polite to say it but the real point here is that whether a site has ssl support is now completely useless information. Any legit commercial site will have it, any malicious site will have it, the only sites that don’t

Empirically, most people weren’t willing to do this stuff (the kind of education you’re talking about was common in early recycling programs) and recycling only became widespread with the advent of single stream. Maybe advocates just need
