Facebook: global daily active users 2023.

Statista https://www.statista.com › statistics › facebook-global-dau Feb 9, 2024 — During the fourth quarter of 2023, the number of daily active users on Facebook reached 2.1 billion, a minor increase on the previous quarter.

So roughly 28% of the planet.

I get the sense that you're trying to mask the simplicity of predicting the next-most-likely-word after training your app, ala markov chains, under the guise of "magical AI." Providing an error threshold when it spits out the wrong response to a phrase seems to be worsening its natural ability as well.

Nice. Thanks. I saw the light saber version is in ASCII in the source for usds.gov, I figured there was a meaningful back story.

One more observation: If I were to want to work for the USDS, there aren't job listings (that I saw) nor would I know what I was applying for by clicking the "Apply Now" button.

I have been out of Fed. Gov. for about a decade, but the hiring process was very complex and confusing back then, the "rule of thumb" was for people to apply to as many as thirty jobs, and expect to wait a month for a response. I'd recommend explaining how (if) USDS is different. I certainly wouldn't fill out the "Apply Now" form not knowing what I'd be interviewed for, in DC, with a response sometime in the next month.

Every line above this one states nothing but "you will work here"

Am I losing context or are "ship code to product" and/or have experience "writing [...] code" or "not dumb" terrible benchmarks?

Why do people, such as this author, treat the world as this dichotomy of passion and work? Isn't wanting to be great at whatever you do a passion? Isn't wanting to be challenged and learning new things a passion? I've worked (literally) in the shit, and now I'm writing this on a $2,500 Mac a company bought for me, while sitting at a desk. I think the lesson us millennials are failing to learn is that you can pursue your passion, but find a way to do so that is valuable to others.

Want to end world hunger? Okay, quit whining about the 1%, get to work, and create an organization that can make that happen. If it truly was your passion, there shouldn't be anything stopping you from accomplishing it. It seems, then, that the "passion" is really just an excuse for not trying.

Why we chose Vue.js 10 years ago

How would you do it in Vue?

     {{ data | json }}
will give you formatted json output of the data object (i.e. state/props) In reality you can put anything that's in the Vue object's scope between curly braces, pipe it through the json filter.

immutable list in Vue

    <li class="for-example" v-repeat="item in list">{{item}}</li>

I've learned more in this last year since I started programming over 25 years ago

From the OP link. The author spent a year "filling holes" in his knowledge.

I've done some development with Java, writing Android apps, and some work in Unity making games, and by trade I'm a PHP developer--I'd be curious to hear how .NET workflow compares to these others.

In my experience, this will cause anger and outrage, someone high up will be sacrificed--but that's it.

The military is an absolute money burning machine. In my seven years of experience the following were in-the-open examples:

* End of year spending binges on equipment no one wanted or needed to max out budgets, to justify the next budget year's sum

* Pre-inspection trashing of inventory to mitigate write ups for discrepancies between on-hand and on-book items.

* I met a team of inspectors in Iraq who were tasked with finding some number of billions worth of equipment that was paid for, but no one was able to locate.

* Getting rank often involves pushing through big expensive projects, no matter the need, in exchange for bullet points on personnel review files.

* My favorite: an enormous dining facility was built on a base in Iraq, but it was too close to the exterior fence, which presented a situation where there would potentially be slow-moving line of hundreds of military, closely grouped together, within "throwing distance" of the perimeter fence. Thus, the contractors were required to complete the building, to make-good on the contract, to force the military to pay them in full, for a facility that was unusable due to above.
