Doesn't really make sense though because only two of "FAANG" actually get significant of their revenue from advertising?

Metaverse was a flop maybe, but meta makes something like $1 billion a week from its mobile apps, it'd be crazy to say that is not successful. The fact that it was so successful, and that zuck picked mobile to be the next big thing

I don't think thats true. If you'd only ever played Doom, I think you could play, say, counterstrike or half-life and be pretty good at it, and i think Carmack is right that its pretty interesting that this doesn't seem to be

We actually released an app for WP7 and then just as the platform was starting to get traction, they released WP8, made it backwards incompatible and told everyone to rewrite their apps. It killed the platform overnight. Maybe you can get c

Facebook has had foxes in the roof garden in MPK21 for years and they don't seem to cause any problems. Is it a different type of fox?

markdown can do embedded images with data urls. It works really well, the data gets all appended at the end of the document

Its possible to copy/paste text in at least. Seems to allow a single keystroke, then the text field looses focus and goes into 'shortcut' mode

This is good advice, but I think it is for people who think they are not smart, but are actually just inexperienced. I feel like someone who was actually not smart would have trouble executing on these steps

Fogbugz just got outcompeted by JIRA imo, and without the cross compiling that allowed it to run on linux (instead of just windows server) it would have been dead long long before.

You can run stable diffusion on a MBP and produce images in under a minute. It's training these models that takes the crazy GPU power - running them is quite reasonable.

Isn't the actual name Marcus Antonius? I wonder why we use the anglicised version for him, but the latin names for most other Romans

Here is a rule of thumb for this type of thing: If something has a 1/N chance of happening, then after N tries = 65% chance of it happening at least once. 2N = 85%, 3N = 95% and 4N = 99%.

Good question, and I don't know the answer, because I've never seen the alternatives. In WP anyone can create a group, and make it private, so you can just make a private group for a bunch of engineers to work on some project with

One of the things I miss working at Facebook is the internal FB (called Workplace). It basically replaced email for the whole company, and worked really well for long form posts where maybe you would write some proposal up or make an announ

This is like the idea of using Pi for compression - if Pi contains all strings of digits, then we find whatever data we want to encode in Pi and store the index where it starts. But turns out the number of digits in the index is going to be

As others have said, I don't find these arguments very convincing - if castles were mainly residences, then why have crenelations, or arrow slits or a moat, doesn't that argument apply equally to those? The argument that if such a

They left it invite only for a bit too long I think, and the hype disappeared. Could be a fatal mistake for something that relies on network effects. I seem to remember google wave (?) made a similar mistake, but I that was so long ago I ca

I remember when Spiegel did this same sort of travel story through the US and it turned out the author just made most of it up to fit whatever stereotypes he wanted to confirm about americans. Hard to take them seriously after that.

Here is the actual list of myths with some text on each one. [1] This gets posted on HN a lot, but sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who actually clicks through and reads the debunking? Only about a 30 - 40% are actually false (eg

Don't think this is true. From wikipedia it seems like this was a pretty straightforward dispute over pay and conditions.

People keep saying this, but it doesn't make it true. The consensus of public health officials changed for sure, but I haven't seen any evidence that the science changed at all
