Change this Twitter setting to see tweets in reverse chronological order

-

Twitter a couple years ago randomly decided to mess up how it shows tweets from people you follow in the timeline. It took the reverse-chronological feed and applied an algorithm meant to surface tweets it thinks you'd care about most. The goal was to drive user engagement. But it meant you would see things like "tweets you may have missed" at the top of your timeline. At any point, you could pull-to-refresh to get an up-to-the-second experience, but many people hated seeing old tweets every time they opened Twitter. For instance, you would see a tweet about some viral moment in a sporting event that occurred 23 hours earlier, rather than a true stream of real-time tweets. And even if you did pull-to-refresh, after scrolling down a bit, you'd again see old tweets inserted into your feed. Thankfully, even though it took awhile, Twitter is beginning to backpedal on this controversial decision. Here's what you need to know. Here’s why you must change your Twitt...

All you’ll have to do is to plug them into the board’s RGB header and then using software like Asus Aura Sync or MSI Mystic Light Sync to control the effects. In case your board does not come with an option like that, the Strimer comes preloaded with 10 lighting presets. Sleeve cabling has always been an interesting thing to do with your PSU cables. Not only does it give it...

Facebook has unveiled a new tool for developers, which aims to automatically fix bugs. Called SapFix, it uses Facebook’s AI to help generate fixes for identified bugs, which are then proposed to engineers for approval and deployment to production. In a post, developers Yue Jia, Ke Mao, and Mark Harman write that SapFix is designed to operate independently, without Sapienz, which is Facebook’s “intelligent automated software testing tool”. It was noted that the tool was unveiled at F8, and has already been deployed in production.  The post notes “The process starts with Sapienz, along with Facebook’s Infer static analysis tool, helping localize the point in the code to patch. Once Sapienz and Infer pinpoint a specific portion of code associated with a crash, it can pass that information to SapFix, which automatically picks from a few strategies to generate a patch.” In order to address “high-firing” bugs, SapFix is able to to create patches that can either fully or partially r...
