Dang It Bhabhi! posted:She is just as lovely in her own ways. From money, a complete narcissist with no regard for others. Also the raft thing. Which was funny. http://www.startribune.com/local/west/49134952.html?page=all&prepage=1&c=y#continue I agree, she's pretty god drat crazy and not someone I'd want to interact with. Still, not too many people can ever say they broke the brain of one of the world's wealthiest people.

Hobo Clown posted:"Mr Elton John sir, please don't leave Twitter sir, can you please provide an example of the misinformation you think is being spread?" He didn't even give that much of a reason though. He put more effort into coming up with an alt-right anti-LGBT dog whistle to notify the desired people that he was posting than he did into a reason as to why he should be prosecuted. Like typically the way this works in a criminal case (assuming that's what this is cause who the gently caress knows the tweet was one vague line that was about 60% anti-LGBT trolling) is you accuse a person or entity of a specific crime that has an established legal and procedural basis (i.e is covered by some law, legislation or legal process), decide whether there's enough evidence and credible witness testimony that a crime was committed to have an authority such as a district attorney press charges on behalf of a state obligated to enforce a law. Then you submit your charge to a court to have a judge and jury appointed to determine whether a crime was committed based on a presentation and careful deliberate examination and appropriate cross-examination of ALL said evidence and testimony. Only THEN is punishment via sentencing by judge to be determined that yes somebody was found guilty of a crime by a jury of their peers. Of course when it's all just one big joke against everyone left of Marjorie Taylor-Green and Alex Jones on the political spectrum like it is to Elon then none of this actually matters and you can say poo poo is about to get spicy right the gently caress now and then nothing for the next 6+ hours.

BigglesSWE posted:Gonna say this is very likely entirely an attempt to lure Trump back. You know he’s that desperate for the Trump appeal. Thinking the same thing. Trump’s latest screeds are paragraphs of nonsense that can’t be contained to 240 characters. Ironically, that’s probably part of the reason they don’t have the same reach and impact - long-form essays don’t stick with people accustomed to having their political identities fit on a bumper sticker. Alternatively, this could be the groundwork for the acquisition and merger of Truth with Twitter. I’m sure the former can be bought for $1B or less.

A fixed character limit probably has massive performance implications. Twitter is all about a system of searching/collating and serving disparate small messages extremely fast. A fixed (small) size recalling can be taking a numeric message ID and deriving everything about the location just from that. If you arbitrarily increase the size 15x, then either you need to up the store by 15 times size (and migrate), have a new system and balance between new and old, or use variable sized storage which is an order of magnitude less efficient to recall and breaks the ID<->store mapping that you rely on for speed. Luckily the way around all this by reducing the userbase substantially, 4d chess!

Steadiman posted:https://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1601935684415225860 It's funny how in 15 years it's been completely forgotten that the original innovation of Twitter was "what if there was a micro-blogging site you could post to directly from your flip-phone via SMS text?" and that the 140char limit was actually a hard limitation based on SMS messages sizes. The site entirely pre-dates smartphones and the whole always-online mobile app system it's now completely exemplary of. In the early days you could post to Twitter from your phone but most people never read Twitter on their phone because they might not even have a data plan or a functional browser. The original stereotype of twitter was that it was a boring site of people just posting into the void about what they had for lunch. It was probably healthier for us when you had to actually go home and boot up your PC to be On The Computer rather than all of us constantly being On The Computer everywhere we go.

Why not 4000000 Unfortunately this is not conducive to the model of Twitter. As twitters posting style is like a quick drag from a cig. Upping it to 4000 will mean it is far less quick in and out read and post.

They moved to 280 at the suggestion of a senior engineering member, not a marketing exec. They knew exactly what they'd need to do and how to do it. Elon fired that person.

It would be funny if we found out that in the back-end every 280char tweet is actually two 140char original-flavour tweets stapled together.

Data Graham posted:Just a reminder in case it's been lost to the mists of time that the original limit of 240 characters was because Twitter started as an SMS gateway that you could post to by sending text messages to it and the SMS character limit was 240 actually, it's based on the width of a roman wagon

goatface posted:They moved to 280 at the suggestion of a senior engineering member, not a marketing exec. They knew exactly what they'd need to do and how to do it. I'd imagine part of that was looking at their existing systems and noting that if they doubled the character limit either nothing breaks or the performance hitch is barely noticeable to the point of not having to care about it (say, a few milliseconds more receiving the API endpoint data in the frontend). And that would've come from looking in-depth at every process over weeks or months to see how they handle the extra characters in various situations (idle, under load for a "busy" day, etc). Meanwhile Ego Spendler there is probably going to say "lol, just increase the character limit check, look it's just one line of code!!"

Entropic posted:Do we know how they did it when they went from 140 to 280? Did they just migrate the whole post database or had they built in extra leeway / variable sizing from the start? probably something hilarious, like making a second 140 char text field that's optional.

elon taking over twitter was the last straw for me on any and all social media that isn't a curated forum or discord chat room. facebook: good for saying happy birthday to people and finding local events, poo poo at absolutely everything else and a place for klanma to post q-anon memes twitter: was good at following some funny people and accounts posting clips of rare schlocky movies, now a loving dumpster hellscape of right-wing idiocy.

With the recent anti vax and anti fauci stuff, Ole Musky now is advocating the same political viewpoints as my great aunt. The one who didn't finish high school and failed her GED test. The one that has been committed to a mental health facility 5 times that I am aware of. The one that takes opiates and benzos like they are mints. Yeah, that one.

Giraffe posted:This has been one of the more confusing aspects of this whole weird “expose” for me. If your main argument is that the people who run twitter are morally obligated to be dispassionate Vulcans who only strive for absolute philosophic fairness, it somewhat undercuts your case when you as Twitter owner and CEO then demand people be jailed because of Facebook memes you saw. I know consistency isn’t Republicans’ strong suit but even for them this seems like some challenging doublethink. its the same reason they talk about the gay agenda or trans agenda or w/e, theres no way someone would arrive at those lifestyles without ulterior motives to destroy america or w/e
