considering how huge FB still is.

FB is only huge because they’ve expanded all over the globe, even providing internet to developing nations to facilitate new user acquisition. In reality they’ve been bleeding the original Western users that signed up between '04-'10, and growth among new generations flatland a long time ago. There’s a reason Meta aggressively expanded to other ventures (or attempt to create platforms) like Instagram, Threads, what’s app, VR and metaverse. Metas only chance at sustainable growth and capturing young people is to build or buy platforms young people will use, because it ain’t Facebook.

The company I work for is smort

This is every company I’ve ever worked for. If other people didn’t vouche for their own tests, I’d assume automated testing was a myth.

Machines aren’t people. Machines don’t learn. Machines copy data, manipulate and replicate it. That is copyright infringement. The laws for Machine duplication don’t apply to human learning.

Razor

Razor is the templating engine that’s been there since the original MVC. Blazor Server is the one that needs a server and streams changes to the client using signalR. Blazor WASM is the one that uses Web Assembly. As of .Net 8, Blazor can now also ne used as a generic SSR backend. They all use Razor Components, which is a component model using the Razor engine.

Not to be confused with Razor Pages, which is also a generic SSR backend.

To list some good ones that haven’t already been ssid:

Stop podcasting yourself

A problem squared

Secretly Incredibly Fascinating

They’re not dangerous, they’re safety razors after all

Canada did it right, and just named the city without adding new.

London Ontario, Paris Ontario, Berlin Ontario (before it was renamed over a minor European dispute).

Unfortunately Nova Scotia was already called that before it joined.

Oh wow, I’ve seen this guys shorts start popping up constantly. He seems like he understands the algorithm enough to explode

Seems it got much worse.

Seems like it’s going great for the developer.

CIA is an initialism, not an acronym, since you pronounce each letter individually.

What you sir are suggesting is a complete erasure of initialisms, and I will not stand for it.

When you leave Ontario for Quebec, the road signs become incomprehensible.

That’s really only because the U.S. government is set up all stupid to give the religious nut jobs over-representation. The House is capped at 435. It should be way bigger so bigger states with bigger populations had significanrly more represtatives than the tiny ones.

Straight White boomers.

It can’t be understated how much life sucked for visible minorities up until a couple decades ago if not a few years ago.

. 10,000 years ago is about when we developed agriculture, stopped roaming as much, and started writing in some form that could survive the millennia

This is bias towards a specific type of societal structure.

Lots of peoples with rich, complex and fascinating cultures continued to live successful nomadic lives for centuries past the introduction of agriculture.

Poe’s law.

In a 4-D chess move, by canceling everything with no resolution, they’ve made their shows not worth pirating by making them not worth watching.

I thought it was a balance between new shows getting better engagement than old shows, and contracts lasting 3 seasons, which required re-negotiations in favor of the talent. Basically a business model hyper-focused on subscriber growth metrics instead of subscriber retention.

There is no way in hell he would ever post to 4chan.

He made a long weepy post on his site how he would never use Reddit of all places, and how embarrassed he would be if “real world people” ever thought he was on it. He is exactly as insufferable and self righteous as you can imagine.
