Did they really “win” though? Now users are just going to have to look at crappy irrelevant ads.

I actually like FB/Insta ads. They’re products I actually want and sometimes buy. In fact sometimes when I’m looking for a product, I’ll Google for it without incognito mode, and waiting for the ads to show up. Creepy but somehow actually delivers better results than the actual Google search!

Didn’t he fire one of the twitter engineers because he corrected him on a Twitter thread?

I got it bundled with my YouTube Music subscription. Definitely worth it, especially considering you’d pay the same amount for Spotify and not get any videos

That’s wild that shared ptr is so inefficient. I thought everyone was moving towards those because they were universally better. No one mentions the performance hit.

I used to write a lot of performance-critical Java (oxymoron I know) for wearables, and one time I got a code reviewer who only did server-side Java, and the differences in our philosophies were staggering.

He wanted me to convert all my code to functional style, using optionals and streams instead of simple null checks and array iterations. When explained that those things are slower and take more memory it was like I was speaking an alien language. He never even had to consider that code would be running on a system with limited RAM and CPU cycles, didn’t even understand how that was possible.

Is this an ad for something or just trying to spread general fear and panic?

Buy a projector instead. Most don’t have any of the “smart” spyware that TVs do yet. Plus you get like a 4x bigger screen for for half the price
