Readit NewsNot being sustainable after all this time and billions of dollars is a sign company is just burning money, and a lot of it. wework vibes.
Similar as with Meta and their MITM approach when they bought Onavo to spy on users.
I am not sure what is going on with here recently, maybe I have overgrown the place, or maybe everyday a little by little this place is getting filled with people who shouldn't be talking about CS.
I know only one person from my dozens of developer friends and colleagues who is using neovim.
tar xzvf <filename> -> "tar eXtract Zipped Verbose File <filename>"
tar czvf <filename> <files> -> "tar Compress Zipped Verbose File <filename> <files>"
So it's either x or c if you want to unzip a tar file or create one
Add z if the thing you're uncompressing ends in .gz, or if you want the thing you're creating to be compressed.
v is just if you want the filenames to be printed to stdout as they're extracted or imported
f tells it to read from or output to a file, as opposed to reading from stdin or output to stdout
Then your provide the filename to read from/export to, and if you're exporting you then provide the file list.
Not that hard.
First Facebook tried to pivot into mobile, pushed really hard for a short time and then flopped. Then Facebook tried really hard to make the Metaverse a thing, and for a while, but eventually Meta stopped finding it interesting and significantly reduced investment. Then AI was the big thing and Meta put a huge amount of money into it, chasing after other companies, with an arguably novel approach compared to the rest of big tech... but now seems to be backing out or at least messaging less commitment. Oh and I think there was some crypto in there too at one point?
I'm not saying that they should have stuck with any of these. The business may not have worked in each case, and that's fine, but spending billions on each one seems like a bad idea. Zuckerberg is great at chasing the next big thing, but seemingly bad at landing the next big thing. He either needs to chase them more tentatively, investing far less, or he needs to stick with them long enough to work out all the issues and build the growth over the long term.
