Can anyone explain what is meant by "managing IO" in the statement "I’m not even going to consider a system valid without managing IO in some way. So yes, all flavors of Lisp are off the table as well."? Is that like monads?

Thanks, was wondering if it was on github!

I find this article a terrible sweeping generalization and opinionated based on the authors perception of success and what it takes to be successful.How about working smarter and not harder

I found it amusing that to view the 1 second video at the end I had to watch a 30 second advert first

Not to be a wet blanket, but isn't posting that copyright infringement?

Ah this is going to kill my mobile usage of the site, which is the main way I use the Facebook, website version not the app. Theres no way I'm going to incur bandwidth and annoyance of the sound of ad's playing on my phone. Bandwidth would be the key factor since I have a limited mobile trafic cap. But any sites that make noise without me interacting with them annoys the hell outa me.

Other than mobile usage I check the site about 1-2 times a week on my laptop which doesn't have flash installed (I use Chrome for Youtube/flash content sites) so hopefully the ad's aren't html5.

Like most things in life, It doesn't matter when you start, more that you start at some point and spend time and effort in getting better.

There's actually alot of things they could fix to improve the user experience. Just signed up for an account and it wasn't overly pleasant. List of a few gripes:

  * No ajax on name availabilty

  * very limited secret question options ( min of 5 chars for answers)

  * Wasn't overly obvious which fields were required until you hit submit ( in the end I think they were all required)

  * Initially there was a smug looking guy on the login page(pretty nitty picky) he seems to be gone now but if goto www.outlook.com you get a broken image

I find that American style ad's have an underlining fakeness to them, its hard to put my finger on it. I'm assuming its just a cultural difference being from New Zealand but some ad's from the States just grate me the wrong way. These Apple ad's are particularly bad in this respect.

Anyone noticed increased CPU usage?

I'm not making a comment on the morality of the images only that some automatic content filters might consider it pornography which is usually not allowed in corporate environments

Quick note: There's a not quite safe for work image near the bottom of the article (Topless tribal woman)

Don't bother clicking on the above site, is some kinda spam link

High doses of salt is toxic

Looks like theres also fake whois info ?

http://whodat.biz/#google.com

Server Name: GOOGLE.COM.ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.LOVE.AND.TOLERANCE.THE-WONDERBOLTS.COM

Server Name: GOOGLE.COM.PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENIS.COM

Server Name: GOOGLE.COM.HAS.LESS.FREE.PORN.IN.ITS.SEARCH.ENGINE.THAN.SECZY.COM

etc.. Or is that normal?

Plus you need to be logged into google account

Yeah after reading the FAQ I came to the same conclusion. But also realized that pirates wouldn't actually need this site and could just get their own AIS receiver's

I agree. Would defiantly benefit from some kinda about/info page.

But at least it doesn't only have a facebook/twitter login

This is very cool. Great tool for Somalian pirates too?

edit. Ahh never mind they don't seem to have any data on the east coast of Africa

Given that vein of thought you can't really trust any software

Very misleading title. Don't think google hosts any of their code on github so apparently they don't contribute to open source?

dont have an eject button on my macbook air!

The release notes format is quite "pretty" but very simplified and I can't seem to find a more detailed version?

Yeah I noticed that but in what context can I run this other than command line? I assume its C code but how do I get it to work in the browser? or is it something you'd use in node.js? Guess it's just over my head

Not to knock the work that's been done or disparage the author of this code or similar work that's hosted on github.

But these link's to a github repo with minimal documentation and no instructions on how to use the code are frustrating.

It's reasons like this I'll never have a paypal account or offer it as a means of payment on my site

Do you mind sharing what are you using/doing to benchmark that? cheers

The distinct lack of information on the site doesn't instill much confidence

From your example below: think of one of those ad network scripts (or any other 3rd party script you include on your page) you have no control over what that code is doing. It could override any of your global objects

Having thought about what you meant... Even with namespacing you still have a global object that can be maliciously overridden or modified
