Author Politics Filter Code

224 ( "author_is_elon", candidate => candidate .getOrElse(AuthorIdFeature, None).contains(candidate.getOrElse(DDGStatsElonFeature, 0L))), ( "author_is_power_user", candidate => candidate .getOrElse(AuthorIdFeature, None) .exists(candidate.getOrElse(DDGStatsVitsFeature, Set.empty[Long]).contains)), ( "author_is_democrat", candidate => candidate .getOrElse(AuthorIdFeature, None) .exists(candidate.getOrElse(DDGStatsDemocratsFeature, Set.empty[Long]).contains)), ( "author_is_republican", candidate => candidate .getOrElse(AuthorIdFeature, None) .exists(candidate.getOrElse(DDGStatsRepublicansFeature, Set.empty[Long]).contains)), )

A screenshot shows Scala-like source code defining filters for whether an author is Elon, a power user, a Democrat, or a Republican. The joke is that political identities and a celebrity identity are reduced to blunt boolean-style predicates, making this useful as a reaction to overcomplicated categorization or suspiciously specific code.
