- phyrexI hate the stock kobo reader, so this is exciting!
- It's a good idea. Obviously you can't preemptively OCR all images but having "context menu -> follow link" which works on QR codes and images with links in them seems totally doable do me
- Each snapshot of the repo isn't that big, but all the snapshots together, plus all the commit metadata and such, are
- Microsoft has actually done a lot of work to scale got to large repos
- Very sure, i work in one
- The datacenter OS doesn't have to be the same as the developer OS. At my work (of similar scale) the datacenters all run Linux but very nearly all developers are on MacOS
- Not to be a jerk, but 'hundreds of devs and dozens of MR per day' is not 'huge repos'. Certain functionality only becomes relevant at scale, and what is easy on a repo worth hundreds of megabytes doesn't work anymore once you have terabytes of source code to deal with.
- I'm pretty sure Meta's team has written about that at length. It's about many things, such as (power/transportation/internet/energy) infrastructure, political situation, available workforce, vicinity to population centers, property prices, and a whole lot more
- That's disappointing, they've done a great job making plant meat ubiquitous and took away some of the hippy aura that has kept many people from trying plant-based meat alternatives. I really hope they can turn it around, both selfishly as a happy customer, as well as for the planet.
- There's a 13 mini
- I disagree. I'm reading and typing this from an iPhone 13 mini. I use a big one for work so it's not like I don't know what I'm missing. I very strongly prefer the small form factor
- That's not true, the llama that's open source is pretty much exactly what's used internally
- Those numbers are a big legal thing because they influence share price. I don't know how exactly they're calculated and I'm sure the most positive spin is used (such as click through from instagram) but if they were actually fraudulent there'd be massive consequences. It's not like anyone is ever hesitant to sue Meta.
- WhatsApp makes absolutely no money with spam. There isn't a per-message cost or however you think that would work
- There's over 350M monthly active users. Seems like plenty of momentum?
- It's been 11 years. If they hadn't been bought they'd have found a different monetization model long ago
- Friends tab on mobile? Last I looked it didn't work on web for me
- That's already a thing: https://about.fb.com/news/2025/03/bringing-magic-of-friends-...
- It's... faster for IO bound workloads? That's literally the whole point of async
- When people do cool stuff they share it on metas platforms, which drives ad impressions
