As a marketer, I have long given up on psychology as a field. The practitioners are too wishy-washy, the experiments too prone to confirmation bias, and the results too unusable.

I feel behavioral economists cover many of the same subjects, but their work is much more interesting and scientific. The experiments are tighter and ask better questions. And they focus more on specific characteristics in decision making, and less on asking big questions.
I'm definitely going to check this out - I think that having effects explicitly controlled in the code but strict by default is the sweet spot I'm looking for in my next language.
Huh, this Wikipedia site is pretty nifty, I didn't know I could look stuff up on it, thanks!
Not yet. I would like to benchmark it against both SQLite 3 and key-value stores like MDB (http://symas.com/mdb/) some time.
Thanks! That's part of our business that has evolved over time. Majority of our customers are not restaurants. In fact, we've learned the pain is massive even in e-commerce and for larger traditional retailers.
No. Number 3 is flat out wrong. Most people will negotiate for more salary because they understand that options will just fuck them over. Money won't.
Seems to me like there's very little new here to anyone paying attention to the space. They didn't raise any limits - they just fixed their own badly written code.

The 1.5 gig limit is not widely known (it's a limit of V8 and I believe, correct me if I'm wrong here, that it's improved in later versions due to some changes to GC) but if you're hitting it you're doing something massively wrong: like they were here.

Splitting data up into chunks for the event loop to process is priority one in any Node app that deals with data processing. It has been for a long time. This is true anywhere you run JavaScript. It's where libraries like [Highland](http://highlandjs.org/) excel and why Node has the concept of Buffers.

Chunking data should be a no brainer and it's frankly a little strange that Jut weren't doing this in the first place. Raises questions about what else is not being done correctly under the hood.

There's no meat here (aside from learning that NPM uses them).
There may be cases where the compiler doesn't optimise as well as older C/C++ compilers (e.g. in my SIMD work, C/C++ code compiled with GCC occasionally comprehensively beats both the same code compiled with Clang and equivalent Rust with rustc (both built on LLVM) due to better optimisations and instruction selection: not a language issue), or where the pure-Rust libraries aren't as optimised as C/C++ equivalents. However, my experience is that it is rarely a lot slower.

Or put another way. The kernel is deprecating multi-writer support for cgroups at some point in the future. systemd has announced they will provide an API for cgroups, where systemd serves as the single writer. On systems not using systemd, some other service will have to serve as the single writer for cgroups. They may or may not implement the same API. (I don't know that anyone has announced plans for an alternative to systemd's cgroups API.) Once this changeover happens, systemd's API will be the only way to use cgroups on systemd systems. This isn't portable, but that's not a problem with Red Hat's contributions to Docker, it's an issue with systemd. Kicking RHEL's contributors to Docker out doesn't actually solve this problem.
Switching wireless networks fixed the problem. Thanks! And sorry for the spam.

So where are the actual apps? After jumping through all those hoops I get a 4th damn amazon app on my phone that just takes me to the amazon storepage? And displays the unground banner at the top (again) that leads to a blank page with just a refine search button on it?

Yes, I am a retail trader. My issue was with the phrase "Retail investors buy and hold till retirement"
"They won't push back when bad decisions are made."

You have to define 'bad'. If you've drunk the kool-aid, you won't see decisions XYZ as 'bad', so there wouldn't be anything to push back on, even if they are objectively (or reasonably apparently) not good decisions.

"They will negotiate for more salary than equity/options, giving them less incentive to help make the company succeed."

Unless the 'equity' gives me the ability to actually change direction on patently stupid decisions and make course corrections, it's a lottery ticket. If a company is willing to pay me above market rate, I have far more immediate incentive to do what's necessary to keep that gravy train going, vs "hey, if we get sold for $100m, I might get $700k 3 years from now and be handcuffed for the next 2 years to some company who acquires us!!!" level of 'equity'.

If you do things well, it won't be a matter of 'believing' someplace is a good place to work, or they're doing good, or killing it, or whatever the metric is - it will just be factual, and won't require 'belief'.
The problem I had with MailMate was the lack of a threaded message view - that's now a total non-starter for me.
Those are not the people we are talking about, and they are not the people the article was talking about either. People who are homeless but living with friends or relatives or staying at a shelter are unlikely to be the people the SFFD is picking up off the sidewalks twice a day every day. And SF in particular has a very large population of people who are in fact sleeping in the rough, living on the streets, however you want to put it. I am well aware that this is not true everywhere, but it absolutely is true in SF, and it has zilch to do with housing prices.
I think that is what the op meant. Between major versions meaning breaking changes happening in updates happening between 1.0 and 2.0 i.e. 1.1, 1.2, etc.

That said.. is Docker using semver? It doesn't look that way so is it written somewhere that this is breaking some standard?
Here is the commit for the benefit of others: https://github.com/aturon/crossbeam/commit/cc57af9e63a04013f...
Not the OP, but if he’s still looking, I’d recommend he give MailMate¹ a try. In my opinion, it’s been the best mail client on OS X for a while now.

The Invisible Universe
I wonder how well it scales to upwards of thousands of comments, though. There are some forums I've seen where it's not unusual to have threads that are several hundred pages of 20+ posts each.

It also seems like prime territory to have something added in the style of the Xenforo threadmarks plugin: https://github.com/Sidane/xenforo-threadmarks

Basically, the thread author (or admins) mark particular posts, and a table of contents to them gets auto-generated, and each of those posts in the thread gets forward/back buttons to skip to the next/previous. It makes long-running threads much more navigable, especially single-purpose ones (game walkthroughs, following the news about specific events, etc).
Just to put this in perspective:
Population of USA is about 300 million and Europe is about is 740 million. Together it is slight above 1 Billion, but Facebook had 1 Billion unique visitors in 1 day!

That is just mind-boggiling.

"What you're referring to is bloated microsites that went overboard on k-weight."

Well.. yes, because that was what Flash sites were mostly used for. Yes, it didn't have to be uses for that - but it was mostly used for needless crap.

I mean, that makes sense because if you didn't want the useless fancy crap you wouldn't have been using Flash in the first place. It's even in the name of the program.

The rest of your post is just justifying all the ways Flash has extra crap in it that was used and abused. Yes - flash is a better animation tool than HTML5. Guess what - most Javascript pages don't need that. Most Flash apps didn't either - but it was still used a bunch.

You're making my point for me while arguing against something I've not said.
The long lists of murders by people previously treated for mental illness are scary, but are basically long lists of anecdotes. The attempt to deliver some statistics isn't very helpful:

Is there any way to estimate the frequency of these episodes of violence committed by mentally ill person who were not being treated? There was then, and continues to be, no national database that tracks homicides committed by mentally ill persons. However, a small study published in 1988 provided a clue. In Contra Costa County, California, all 71 homicides committed between 1978 and 1980 were examined. Seven of the 71 homicides were found to have been done by individuals with schizophrenia, all of whom had been previously hospitalized at some point before the crime. The 10% rate was also consistent with the findings of another small study in Albany County, New York. Therefore, by the late 1980s, it appeared that violent acts committed by untreated mentally ill persons was one of the consequences of the deinstitutionalization movement, and the problem appeared to be a growing one.

This basically gives P(Schizophrenic|CommitsHomicide), but the number of interest is P(CommitsHomicide|Schizophrenic). Bayes' Rule:

P(CommitsHomicide|Schizophrenic) = P(Schizophrenic|CommitsHomicide)P(CommitsHomicide)/P(Schizophrenic)

P(Schizophrenic|CommitsHomicide) = 7 / 71 (Very rough estimate from a single county 35 years ago)

P(CommitsHomicide) = ??? (I'm having trouble estimating this---the easily available figure is murder rate, but that's not the same as probability of being a murderer) But let's fudge this as being the murder rate of 4.7/100,000, which surely overshoots because some murderers kill multiple people [1]

P(Schizophrenic) = 15.2/100,000 [2]

Then we get P(CommitsHomicide|Schizophrenic) = 0.0986 * 0.000047 / 0.000152 = 0.0305

So very roughly three percent of people with schizophrenia would be expected to commit a murder. This is 649 times the probability of the average person being a murderer, which is quite a substantial difference.

However, in my opinion that increased likelihood of violence would not justify involuntary commitment in all but the most extreme cases. Otherwise we would essentially have to imprison tens of thousands of people for crimes that 97% of them are not going to commit. It's like Minority Report's "pre-crime", but a horribly inaccurate version thereof.

Well, you should know to many FB is their internet.
But when you "spontaneously" send that order in any mean-reversion strategy, it will be a limit order, not a market order. It will still wait to be filled, and may not be filled.

Maybe you sit at the bid, maybe the midpoint, maybe hit the ask, but it for sure won't be a market order.
I understand that there are people who don't have a use for journald. It strikes me as odd to look at journald's feature set and conclude that this is being driven primarily by desktop support to the exclusion of servers, though.
Your example starts well - a person with a need, another person tries to do the right thing - and then ends predictably poorly - emergency responders refuse to provide needed medical treatment.

Street triage for people with complex mental health needs is important money saving work that improves lives.
Since we're all totally guessing here, I feel like I should point out that we're talking about FB scale here. Negligible minority for FB would be many products entire user count.
> I had a GF that worked solely to create fake facebook accounts.

Yes but did she connect to all of them on monday by a mean or another?

I think that's the fact it was on a single day that makes this number impressive.
Xenforo is just about best of breed in the domain of modern, traditional forum software. Even phpBB is still around.

I don't blame people for trying to come up with new forum paradigms instead of reimplementing the same solution over and over again.

Then again, forum software that implements modern expectations is never going to be basic.
> In fact, the first Lisp had no iteration, so that the only way to add all elements of a linear list was to write a recursively defined function.

So that would be how recursion "got into programming".

The comedy of errors is how recursion got into Algol, not into programming.
Would be happy to work with you sometime, people with an eye for design that can actually build their designs are worth their weight in gold.

I find that most UX people I work with rely way to heavily on A/B testing. A/B testing is a great tool to get to the perfect UI, but when you are A/B testing every feature because you have no idea what works and what doesn't it becomes a huge waste of my time.

Why every entrepreneur should start blogging
>What I think we need is a standard so flexible and meta that systems can evolve without waiting for society or standards to catch up.

This is why we must demand macro systems in the languages we use. Building new languages is part of the programming process. Everyone should be able to do it, not just standards committees.
Some details here: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/developer-blog/2014/de...

It's not really the backend that matters, these days its the front-end setup that makes the biggest difference. Less javascript, less huge unnecessary images, less "interactive" crap and streamlining the loading of content first then ads async can make a site load pretty quick. They also style the ad slot dimensions (since all banners are standard sizes) which keeps the content from moving around when an ad does load.

Its just simple effective optimizations, something that should be done but for some combination of bad talent, bad management and poor priorities, just isnt.
That was very pretty and cool. I liked it. Just a little confusing.
Could you expand on that? I don't really understand how you could simplify if/else logic by using this which is a bijection from one binary counting system to another.
Well, the machines got complex enough that we created operating systems to abstract them, and they became their own little sandboxes.
Ironically I'd say the whole point is that you are failing to look at the scope.

I didn't reference centurial anything - I said that thinking it's a problem is not understanding variance. Climate scientists not only agree with me they say the same thing.

So at this point either put up some actual science or just stop JAQing off.
> how can you prove that both particles were not having the same state from the start?

But this is exactly what these experiments aim to prove. That kind of predeterminism is precisely a form of local hidden variable theory. Such a theory is disproved if we can prove the violation of a Bell inequality. The standard reference for understanding the connection is this laymans-terms paper by Mermin:

http://web.pdx.edu/~pmoeck/pdf/Mermin%20short.pdf

If we accept that this experiment is indeed a standard-loophole-free violation of Bell's inequality, we then conclude that we must give up one of three things: locality, realism, or all free will. This rules out any local hidden-variable theory. The mainstream view is then to keep locality and free will. Some alternative theories (notably Bohmian ones) give up locality and keep realism, but this is strongly at odds with what we know from special relativity, and indeed locality is assumed in all work on quantum field theory (through Lorenz invariance) which has been verified to match experiments to a precision above that of any other physical theory. The third option, which essentially no-one supports, is that free will is impossible in our universe and that everything everywhere is predetermined.

You're gonna buy a $100k+ car that doesn't satisfy all of your needs, and requires you to grab a _rental_ to fill in the gaps?

EDIT: BTW, I think that electric cars are cool, and even got a garage in my house so that I can go electric some time in the future. But I can imagine that for some people, the lifestyle won't work for them. So for those people... its probably best to admit that Electric isn't for them.
There is a more likely possibility that there are some people whose entire idea of the internet was/is/will continue to be FB. Someone will be born, raised, and die thinking FB is the whole internet. Someone else WeChat.
> It is not good for the person or the company for them to stay just for the money or benefits.

That's a bit short sighted. It might be perfectly good for the company to keep people with skills XYZ employed. Not everyone is going to do customer support. I'll be pretty sure even where some CEOs do actual 'customer support' (in whatever capacity) the janitors and CFOs and in-house legal counsel aren't also manning the email support desks.

So then we're left with "well... some people should be doing customer service along with all their other duties". It's an arbitrary line.

I do agree that having most staff do some support work in many companies (or, at very least, shadow support staff for a week or so) can have a lot of benefits - you see things from different perspectives, you get to know what the real problems are, how people are using your product and how people view your company, etc.
Facebook doesn’t measure usage quite so haphazardly. This has been a topic of discussion earlier, and relevant to their SEC / financial filings. Viewing an embedded widget doesn’t count, but clicking it or signing in to an app with Facebook does.
I'm not sure, but I don't think so. I'll need to ask my parents.
Forgetting the accuracy of the OP, I cannot be the only one who doesn't care in the least that adblockers slow load times. Between my ISP's shoddy service, the popups and distracting animations adblockers stop, the net effect is a faster overall experience. A few seconds on page load is a fair price to pay for the increased privacy and security.
> These days I train aikido, but do so for the fitness, the mental challenge, and the camaraderie of the dojo. Unlike judo or BJJ, I can imagine myself training into later life.

These are the same reasons I train BJJ. There is nothing quite like rolling in terms of exercise. I also train with a lot of older guys (into their 60's, some 70's) who are very healthy and continue to train, drill and even roll lightly.

The thing with most martial arts is that you take out what you put in. If you don't want to compete, you certainly don't have to. I do tournaments, but I do it because I think it's fun--not because I plan on being a world level competitor.

There really is nothing like being able to put what you've learned to the test. That's what I have found BJJ offers me that no other martial art has--an outlet to really test what I am doing without no real risk of being hurt.

You can't spar with full force in Muay Thai or Judo. But you can roll and sweat and lose and walk away better than you arrived in BJJ. And it's completely optional.
> But the last I heard it's still much slower.

Not in my experience.
So that is 150 in the company. Lets assume there were 100 companies like this, each one 10 times bigger than this smaller company. I'm guessing that is actually overstating the reality. That is 150,000 fake accounts. That would account for about one percent of one percent of these billion logins. So very negligible.
I would argue however that both Xenforo and phpBB are ridiculously bloated and should hardly be called basic. phpBB more so than Xenforo obviously. None of them offer the far more robust approach of FluxBB.

Thankfully, as FluxBB is opensource, it can be forked and saved from this development direction.
It's Facebook circa 2015 though.
That comes down to an average of 11,574 logins a second...
I'm not sure if you're disagreeing with me, agreeing with me, or just providing additional commentary. I think OSX got some things right (cmd tab/cmd tilde behavior, app install/uninstall, spotlight), and other things less right.

Ultimately, I'm primarily a linux user who does cross platform dev so I end up dealing with everyone's crap (linux included, I'm looking at you X11).
That has probably a lot of overlap with Frink https://futureboy.us/frinkdocs/, though after a quick try the output could be nicer, e.g. like described in this document.
I would like to know more about this. Who is paying for fake activities, and to what ends?

Obvious guesses (with prior evidence!) is: Government astroturfing & information gathering (hot girl friends you + gov't gains access to your "private" content), and brand astroturfing.

> it's an issue with systemd

I wouldn't even say this is an issue with systemd. It just happens that systemd (or logind actually) is what was selected as the cgroup controller on distributions that use it.

Mostly, it's an issue with Docker (and all other cgroup clients) that are currently using their own controllers.

It doesn't matter one bit what the distributions chose as their new controller, the existing clients would need to adapt to the new environment.

If anything, having systemd handle this has simplified their jobs significantly since they can support a huge swath of distributions capturing the overwhelming majority of user's systems by targeting a single API.
There are the neck cranks, but that's got a fairly low chance of actually killing someone. There's the curb stomp, but that's hardly martial arts "move". I suppose a piledriver onto a hard surface could kill someone. Other than that there really aren't any moves I can think of that can realistically be considered lethal with any sort of consistency, despite the claims some less reputable martial arts sometimes make.

Care to enlighten me?
Well, I don't see Mark claiming any of that in this post.

If your machine requests data from Facebook's machine, it's a use of Facebook. There's no way around that.

If Facebook sends personalized content in that request, then there really is no argument that this does not constitute a technical use of Facebook.

However, in most cases, users are not voluntarily making those requests to Facebook, but are more or less forced into making them by some third party (eg. any site using Facebook for a comments section).
