Periodic reminder that an #algorithm is a fundamental aspect of computing and not just a thing used by big Internet companies to manipulate people.
Facebook-style manipulation is usually done with “machine learning” or other statistical methods. Ironically, this is a heuristic, *not* an algorithm.

@beardalaxy Okay, maybe talentless hack is a little too far. I just don't think he deserves all the fame. He only got popular because of his friends on the Starmen.net forum and his work on Homestuck. And it just feels like a game that is known for the memes.
