I know making fun of Twitter is like laughing at a retarded, one legged puppy trying to lick peanut butter off it's own butt while being submersed in boiling jello, but still:

Way to figure out how to use placeholders, Twitter.

DAMN YOUUUUUUUUUUU

I HAD THE SCREENSHOT ALL PREPARED AND EVERYTHING
twitter uses ruby? I don't know any other unparenthetical language that uses <% as script delimiter.

Except that one, obviously.
And .Net isn't a language.
And only VB.Net lacks function call parentheses.
So you're wrong and I'm still not right. Nyeh.

Yeah, yeah

c# also has parenthesesless properties. "reason" might be a variable or a property, rather than getReason()

I may be missing the point here...but you have me wondering if boiling jello would make the peanut butter come off any easier....

It makes the puppy come off easier.

Hard to tell. Jello seems to melt at about 107.6F. Peanut butter melts at ~150F.
So if the jello is just melted, then it probably won't make the peanut butter come off any easier.
That being said, I did say boiling jello, which I suppose would make it boiling gelatin-- rather than jello. Since water boils at 212F, and the added sugar and gelatin lowers the boiling point a touch-- I'd say the boiling jello would almost certainly make the peanut butter come of easier.
But I think it would increase the difficultly for the puppy to eat the peanut butter, so it's a zero sum.

And google talk is having issues too.

Actually, per this article:
They switched from Ruby to Java/jsp last year. With all the Java lamenting I see on here I'm surprised no one caught it. It's a jsp expression tag.Ps on my phone so apologies if the link isn't a link
-
Well, nothing wrong with JSP, except perhaps... oh scrap that,TRWTF is JSP. I would have thought that they'd built a custom engine for Twitter. Still in Java, mind, but custom.
-
Actually, the article never mentioned JSPs... which are quite crappy indeed.
And Java, one may hate it, but all the big boys know it's still better than the rest.
-
No it doesn't. However, we do know it's Java, a single line jsp expression is present, and the "new" ideas in the article make it sound like it was written in 2002. Therefore, I conclude its jsp

Linkified... but that article doesn't seem clearly-written to me.
@Engineering.twitter.com said:
for example, if service A depends on service B, A is queried first and its results are passed to B.
I'd have thought it being the othe way around - surely A cannot proceed until B has satisfied that dependency...?
They then go on to demonstrate this with a diagram. I can understand the arrows are showing chronological flow, but (to me) they're pointing the wrong way for a dependency relationship.
I'm not certain I fully understand that article. It seems they've just rewritten a search mechanism (present in most RDBMS) in a language of their own choice, and in the switch found it to be faster.
-
I'd agree that the dependency statement is ass-backward. Their blog always seems braggy too and this is shit they should have already been doing at a min. I guess now you know why its down so often for a company of their size.
