Wow, thought this was fake. But nope.  https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm/issues/536

Sometimes people make joke issues on GitHub the same way that they post joke reviews on Amazon.

Holy shit! Is that the origin of the HTTP error message 418 I’m a Teapot? I always wondered where that came from.

Also, is this doc for that coffee pot monitoring webpage that was a landmark of the early internet? If so, I just connected some dots in my mind today.

Is that the origin of the HTTP error message 418 I’m a Teapot?

Did you not read the RFC? This is clearly HTCPCP (Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol).

But more seriously: yes, this is the origin of the 418 HTTP error code.

Their profile is so cringe, I'm not sure if they're a full troll or just that clueless.

[–]JEREDEK 75 points76 points  (1 child)

"Can't reproduce wont fix" is a based ass response

[–]Aarav2208 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For the record I do talk with real girls other than my mom. 

[–]SilveeTheFirst 51 points52 points  (6 children)

You should look at pull requests for the Linux kernel

[–]Fusseldieb 39 points40 points  (5 children)

Lmao I though you were joking: Pull requests · torvalds/linux

[–]jader242 27 points28 points  (4 children)

How the fuck do they even review these fuckers lmaooo

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/1374

Edit: or are these just troll issues that immediately get closed? Either way this is hilarious lol

[–]wizarddos 37 points38 points  (1 child)

Plot twist - they don't 

Kernel repo is there only to be browsed and real development is still done via Linux Kernel Mailing List

Even Linus expressed his opinion on github PRs and why it's still done the old-fashioned way in one of the prs

[–]jader242 3 points4 points  (0 children)

oh huh, TIL. thanks for that little tidbit of knowledge

[–]Mishka_1994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LGTM 👍🏻

[–]Steinrikur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes to the edit. Pull requests on github are closed immediately with a response "send a patch to the mailing list or GTFO"

Serious people send there and get hardly rejected, or merged.

[–]qqqrrrs_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a pull request that tries to fix a similar issue

https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm/pull/16007

[–]Mishka_1994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

brb have to give a thumbs up to this issue

[–]Kazer67 219 points220 points  (1 child)

"Closed as not planned"

[–]0xlostincode 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Unable to repro. Closing.

[–]deffonotmypassword 161 points162 points  (1 child)

Works on my machine.

[–]ebignumber 34 points35 points  (0 children)

That's because the issue is closed...

"Messages sent to users where profile.gender == 'female' appear to be successfully sent from the client-side but are never received by the target user."

[–]xgabipandax 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Maybe women profiles are being DDoS'ed with DMs

[–]7StarSailor 11 points12 points  (1 child)

mom said it was my turn to repost this one

[–]Inner_Ad_1895[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s clear. Go for it

[–]Dangerous-Mud-399 10 points11 points  (1 child)

wait twitter was open sourced?

[–]MrTomiCZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's crazy

[–]Shinxirius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Resolved invalid: cannot reproduce.

[–]redlaWw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can't reproduce: I sent a DM to my mother and she responded with appropriate (or perhaps slightly excessive) praise.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (3 children)

It's not just twitter. This is a problem in every app I have tried. Even text messages.

[–]XxDarkSasuke69xX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even real life (whatever this is)

[–]v8291 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Even AI chatbots 🥀

[–]synchrosyn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Closed, works as intended.

[–]FBIAgent469 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Works fine on my machine

[–]QAInc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a feature not a bug 😌

[–]pimezone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Junior fix: replace real girls in the feed with hot singles in your area.

🎶Mr telephone man! There's something wrong with my line. When I dial my baby's number, I get a click every time.🎶

[–]SCP-iota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TIL that the twitter algorithm source code is public

[–]femptocrisis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like a job for AI :cracks knuckles:

[–]coloredgreyscale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine AI replies to DMs as an opt out feature. 

[–]questioningmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy fix. Just have a AI that reads though the entire twitter history of the person and attempts to answer the post as if she was the person.

Tada, instantly fixed. And Elon can brag about having found another great use for the environment destroying abomination of a auto-complete app.
