@schrep True. Server side can (and has been) brute-forced, but that can’t solve weak Internet connections & older phones. Worth noting that Twitter in India & many other countries is slow even on latest iPhone.

@WholeMarsBlog Starlink is rebuilding the Internet in space, so maybe I know slightly more than some guy who wrote code for a website

@schrep There are ~1200 “microservices” server side, of which ~40 are critical to Twitter working at all, according to server control team. Trimming down that 1200 number, reducing data usage, serialized trips & simplifying app are all needed to improve speed of use.

@schrep Twitter is very slow in India, Indonesia & many other countries. This is fact, not “claim”. 10 to 15 secs to refresh homeline tweets is common. Sometimes, it doesn’t work at all, especially on Android phones. Only question is how much delay is due to bandwidth/latency/app.

@Umbisam Mr. Munger’s words are much appreciated

@minliangtan @wlopwangling Malenia battle was next-level intense

@minliangtan @wlopwangling Yes, although it seemed almost impossible at times

@waitbutwhy The ratings on this simulation are incredible

@wlopwangling Definitely

@Popeska @sampullara Why is Twitter unusably slow in many countries? Seems odd that this would be bandwidth only.

@micsolana Yeah, I hate it

@NASASpaceflight Next test is ~20 sec firing with max oxygen fill to test autogenous pressurization, possibly one more static fire, then orbital launch attempt

@NASASpaceflight Test went well

@ChrisJBakke @TrungTPhan @nytimes 🤩

@_corywynn_ @TrungTPhan 🤣

@TrungTPhan Why the puff piece @nytimes?

@WholeMarsBlog Good question
