Why is this “news”?
Just don’t go on Xitter and you won’t have these “problems”…
Exiting with a cool ~$9m. Not too shabby.
And since he’s been there since before the IPO, he’s probably done pretty well for himself, regardless.
Most scripting languages are interpreted, not compiled. It’s not a criticism of them, but it is a tradeoff that is good to understand.
It seems like you are the one who is conflating terms like “script kiddie” with “scripting language” and adding some negative connotation that isn’t necessarily implied.
Scripting languages are usually easier to learn, have simpler syntax, and abstractions that hide complexity. These make them easier to get started in, but the downside is they are generally slower (performance-wise) than their compiled counterparts.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language
A scripting language, or interpreted language, is interpreted at runtime, rather than compiled.
It is not derogatory, and is simply a fact about languages like Python and JS.
Thank you for sharing this!
One question: how can the loan from Brian Acton be interest free? I thought the federal government imposed minimum interest rates to prevent people from bypassing tax-free gifting limits.
wtf? When did it go down? I swear I was on it just a few months ago…
Haven’t thought of the numa numa guy in years…
This seems plausible to me.
They should make it smarter and group users based on their swipe technique and have a separate model for each group.
It does feel this way… but why?! Shouldn’t it be getting better with more training data? Is other people’s shitty typing data fucking up my experience?
Or maybe my swiping technique is getting lazy? I’m not sure, but it definitely feels worse than a few years ago.
Why would you want to use beta versions of WhatsApp? Genuinely curious.
But also the LAPD is much less likely to respond to crimes in poorer areas. So the numbers they report aren’t all that meaningful.
Yeah, the argument makes literally zero sense, but if you bring it up to them, it opens the door for them to talk about other batshit crazy conspiracies. Like needing tighter controls on who can vote. Which are thinly veiled attempts to limit the opposition from voting.
It’s okay if you didn’t finish high school. We’re here to help you understand the world. ❤️
Wherever you’re doing research is the wrong place.
I hope you expand outside your bubble some day, sweetie.

Totally equivalent right?
It’s annoying when EV-angelists act like range is a non issue compared to ICE vehicles. I want to buy an EV, but none of them have the range or charging speed I’d require for my typical drives.
I completely agree, and I think another major factor is a function of when you started using Reddit.
I’ve noticed a trend that many of the people who’ve moved on from Reddit (or at least the ones who are posting here and in places like Hacker News) joined Reddit 8+ years ago.
I started using Reddit about 14 years ago, and I’ve definitely noticed a change in the overall vibe of Reddit over those years. There were obvious changes (like cracking down/banning specific subreddits) and there were more subtle changes (like communities growing so large that the comments turned to shit) and there was a departure from a text-heavy, original-content focused haven for like-minded people to a feed full of gifs and inflammatory comment (not to mention ads-that-are-pretending-to-be-posts).
People who have been using it for so many years notice this change, but it was so gradual and over so long a time that they were used to it – essentially the change was slow enough that we were lulled into accepting the new reality of Reddit.
But then this whole kerfuffle has shaken us out of it and made us realize that it’s only going to get worse. So here we are, onto greener pastures.
Now, on the other hand, we have the (many, many) people who started using Reddit more recently. They only know the “new” Reddit. And so they don’t get what the big deal is. They think the mods are throwing a fit and the power users are just whiny and “why the hell can’t I see my memes?”.
They don’t understand what we miss about Reddit.
Just have to coordinate with your neighbor and open both doors!
Yeah… it would be a nightmare. Maybe hauling stuff up to a balcony would work better.
