Yeah, that's stupid. I mean, if the company name changes then you have to rename the macro!

Well even the giants too in the case of Meta/Alphabet say why hasn't anyone demanded FAANG be updated to MAAAN yet

Is Netflix is just there because it makes for better acronyms, right? Is there some huge Netflix payday I'm missing out, or do I just have the N completely wrong?

The N is Microsoft, by way of Nokia

There was a time when Netflix looked like a rising giant, before people realized that its business model was not very difficult to replicate if you had your own library of streamable content. Also IIRC the acronym was originally about big tech employers specifically in the Bay Area, which is the main reason it doesn’t include Microsoft. (Amazon is obviously huge in Seattle, but they’re still a major employer in SF.)

Originally it was a stocks thing. https://www.cnbc.com/id/100436754 quote:If you're looking to play tech, think FANG, Bob Lang's acronym for Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Google. All 4 names appear to be turbocharged momentum stocks that could have a lot more room to run according to Lang's chart work.

I read a book about how bad stock nonsense was in the 80s and they were making fun of "chart work", guess I shouldn't be surprised it's still around.

AFAIK this is the business model of every fintech as well: Identify issue body currently handled by bank which could easily translate into an app, solve transfers / fraud detection / stock buying, get acquired Actually solving the issue like with so many other startups is largely optional

FP weenies, who historically have not been able to justify why their preferred paradigm is meaningfully better than other methods, does indeed sound like a fit for blockchain tech.

And yeah that entire bit of code and the lookup table it references replaced a very accurate 3rd order polynomial model that we spent weeks working out the coefficients for, because this clown doesnt do maths. 2 lines of code is what it replaced. For this abomination. And yes I'm pissed off. But management will management. duck monster fucked around with this message at 11:17 on Sep 8, 2022 |

Many years ago this used to be problem with the tool Game Maker. It used doubles as its basic numeric type but to the great frustration of many it often had unexpectedly low precision results. Years later, it turned out to be some DirectX7 setting which changed the FPU settings on load unless you specifically opted out of it.
