not to turn this into coder's chat but I personally think more lines is sometimes better, some of our devs try to fit incredibly complex loops into a single lambda expression and while yeah it does work it's also impossible to debug. verbose code is at least easy to fix

idk I think he knows a lot of the replies he gets are bots but assumes this is a way bigger problem than it actually is because he does not understand why the bots are targeting him specifically

How long has Elon Musk been a chud?

Why haven't I known this all along? Is it a recent development?

probably forever but I think that time when people made fun of his stupid submarine thing is when he decided to go full mask-off

near as i can tell he hasnt even actually presented anyone with an actual plan for new content moderation policies, he just keeps gesturing at free speech and 'both sides.' presumably hes scared to actually say 'yeah you can say the nword now'

so one big problem is he fired everyone who would be responsible for implementing the new policies, and presumably the old ones as well

yeah Twitter's actual valuation/influence is pretty hard to gauge. like 75% of the people I know use Facebook but I can only name like....3 people who actively use Twitter. but it does have a lot of utility as a news source and a way for celebs/politicians/government bodies to make wide-reaching announcements. I mean random Trump tweets were legitimate news stories on CNN for days at a time, you don't see that kind of poo poo with FB or IG posts. which makes it even funnier that Elon's first big idea is to get rid of verification

when Lia Thomas won that NCAA swimming thing I remember some article claiming that even with her win statistically trans women were still not doing all that well overall in sports, and that if they were totally on par with cis women athletes you'd expect them to win a bit more. wonder where the "sorry libs but science is science" crowd is on that one

Oh, I don't know. Nobody likes Zuck. Elon could pull votes from millions of people whose vague awareness of the outside world amounts to "my neighbor bought a car from the techno superhero who is taking us to Mars"

maybe in 2016 he could've, not post-"pedo guy" and certainly not post whatever the gently caress he's doing now

seriously bring this dude up in a mixed crowd pretty much every single person I know either absolutely hates him or is completely insane

I work for an insurance company and it was funny seeing the auto symbols for Teslas rise so quickly once it became apparent that even small fender benders could total out the entire car. iirc it wasn't even stuff like this it was "oh there was a really important electronic component in that spot and it actually can't be replaced" lmao

I work at a successful auto plant and when we have new models or revisions we have loving quality testing that catches this poo poo. Like weekly meetings on which items need changes and their progress. Like we decided the folding armrest was a bit too loud so we are ordering thinner foam to reduce the friction. Dozens of issues ironed out before anything goes to market. I assume this is how most auto alerts work and that Tesla is just top down build it like we say.

reminds me of when Consumer Reports couldn't even give Tesla a star rating because no two cars they looked at were alike. they took apart several of the Model 3s and found different bolt patterns on all of them

I can't imagine producing a vehicle without pre-release testing putting a vehicle through all of its typical expected servicing paces and making sure it can be done reasonably; including replacing every single piece of glass since that's probably the #1 most common thing that'll need to be done.

easier to imagine when you consider the fact that Tesla's #1 priority by far is stock price

Has he never wished a book kept going? Wanted to know what happened next? Does he have no curiosity at all?

I’m pretty sure it’s a No to all three. Richest man in the world, could task people to summarise books for him or to research anything he was interested in or wanted to understand, but he’s too busy reading tweeter and posting one word replies to think about anything else.

I remember a debate on this very message board about whether or not Trump ever looked at any of the classified space alien stuff or if he has so little curiosity about the world outside of himself that he just wasn't interested in any of it. the consensus was that he did not.

yes, this is certainly what actually happened

but seriously, dj software made this poo poo so goddamn easy compared to the vinyl days. any moron can do a set these days with minimal training

i dj vinyl because i'm a moron who loves to gently caress up but i've used rekordbox once and even i can tell what happened here, she must've just assembled her set the night before or maybe even right before the show and didn't test anything. her whole thing is "whatever i'm smart i can do this on the fly". tbh I kinda did this my first set, I tested a bunch of things but didn't really "practice" and wound up messing up a few times. but it was a bar with like 20 people in it not loving Coachella

Absolutely and yes plenty of them do just that. Especially for massive shows like Coachella where you don’t want to gently caress up in front of thousands of people

yeah I'm pretty sure that wildly successful Daft Punk 2007 tour was all prerecorded and the only thing that really changed from one show to the next was adjustment of the highs middles and lows. kinda lame but hey it ruled so

still bothered by Elon's use of "namespace" in that above screenshot, like anyone who's done any programming knows "namespace" is an actual term that means something. comp sci poo poo is the one thing this guy's supposed to be good at but all the evidence points to him being a huge dumbass there as well. like when he first bought Twitter and said poo poo like "oh this is easy to fix, we just need to rebuild the full stack".....ooooh sounds very smart unless you're familiar at all with what he's trying to say. people love to give him the benefit of the doubt because he's awkward and dorky, they think he's like Sheldon from Bing Bang Theory, but take it from someone who played Magic the Gathering for 15 years: those people can be absolute morons as well. sometimes they have emerald mines and government contracts though
