Thread by @aakashg0 on Thread Reader App: the Twitter tweet ranking algorithm

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/04/05

Interesting read: [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @aakashg0 on Thread Reader App with this takeaway:

If you take away anything, remember this – the models take in 3 inputs:

• Likes, retweets, replies: engagement data
• Mutes, unfollows, spam reports: user data
• Who follows you: the follower graphImage

Read from the start at [Wayback/Archive] Aakash Gupta 🚀 Product Growth Guy on Twitter: “Twitter revealed its algorithm to the world. But what does it mean for you? I spent the evening analyzing it. Here’s what you need to know:”

The algorithm is at [Wayback/Archive] twitter/the-algorithm: Source code for Twitter’s Recommendation Algorithm.

Via [Wayback/Archive] Andrea on Twitter: “Haha, dát is het dus!” / Twitter

Note: for me the only way to reliably follow people is this: [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on Twitter: “@chrisbensen @geerlingguy @TwitterBlue @elonmusk @tweetbot About the only tweeps I see tweets from on a regular base is the ones I turned notifications on for. It does not matter if they are blue or not. The blue ones tend to post overly large tweets. Those I skip reading.”

State machines in Delphi and .NET

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/02/15

Forgot to schedule this in 2014, so here it finally is, as the content is still relevant:

A long time ago (almost 10 years) I did some stuff with State Machines in .NET.

Since then the world has changed, and a lot more libraries have become available.

As I mainly use .NET and Delphi and there is a reasonable chance I need to do some more state machine work, here are some links about State Machines in both environments.

Google Cloud Shell: tools, languages and “safe mode”

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/01/19

After publishing Free Linux cloud shell for Gmail users – shell in the browser that works in all locations I’ve been so far, the Google Cloud Shell got extended quite a bit.

There is now [Wayback/Archive] Safe Mode (which skips initialisation scripts):

If there’s a problem in your .bashrc or .tmux.conf files, Cloud Shell immediately close after connection. To resolve this, open Cloud Shell in safe mode by appending cloudshellsafemode=true to the URL. This restarts your Cloud Shell instance and logs you in as root, allowing you to fix any issues in the files.

To permanently delete all files in your home directory and restore your Cloud Shell home directory to a clean state, you can reset your Cloud Shell VM.

And there is support for way more [Wayback/Archive] tools and languages:

Type safe versus interpreted languages: which ones are safer?

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/10/06

An interesting thread by Kristian Köhntopp last year:

[Archive.is] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “Python: >>> print(1+2+” = “+2+1) Traceback (most recent call last): File “”, line 1, in TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: ‘int’ and ‘str’ Java: System.out.println(1+2+” = “+1+2); 3=12”

The examples from him and others in the thread:

Python:
>>> print(1+2+" = "+2+1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'

Java:
System.out.println(1+2+" = "+1+2);
3=12

php8.1  -r 'print 1+2+" = "+2+1;'
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: Unsupported operand types: int + string in Command line code:1
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
  thrown in Command line code on line 1

php7.3  -r 'print 1+2+" = "+2+1;'
PHP Warning:  A non-numeric value encountered in Command line code on line 1

Node?
Chrome & FF dev console:
window.alert(1+2+" = "+1+2)
3 = 12

Sind ja immerhin verschiedene Sprachen.

SELECT Wert1 
FROM table1
WHERE Wert1 < AVG(Wert1);

DB2 vs. Oracle vs. MSSQL vs. ....

The joke is that Python actually does better than Java.

But in practice, this is a problem on many platforms, so it deserves constant attention, that’s why Kristian pointed to [Archive] Anna “Legacy Archaeologist” Filina on Twitter: “My annotated slides “Fantastic Bugs and How to Avoid Them” from @LonghornPHP:  #LonghornPHP”

[Wayback/Archive] Fantastic Bugs and How to Avoid Them – Speaker Deck

I’ve expanded the examples from the thread below. The results are interesting and consistent over versions of the various languages.

GitHub – metasfresh/metasfresh: We do Open Source ERP – Fast, Flexible & Free Software to scale your Business.

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/09/22

For my link archive: [WayBack] GitHub – metasfresh/metasfresh: We do Open Source ERP – Fast, Flexible & Free Software to scale your Business.

It’s mainly written in JavaScript and Java with a PostgreSQL database and elasticsearch search.

There is plenty of [WayBack] metasfresh documentation (for users, administrators and developers), all with markdown source.

The developer documentation starts with a nice diagram of the [WayBack] metasfresh Architecture:

Markdown source of the architecture page: [WayBack] metasfresh-documentation/metasfresh_architecture.md at gh-pages · metasfresh/metasfresh-documentation · GitHub: Docs and Manuals for Devs, Users, Admins.
