The culture of Twitter is different, though. It isn't just Facebook with every update cut off at 140 characters. Many have noted that on Twitter there's a widely held expectation that you'll at least try to be witty. (You can't spell "Twitter" without "wit".) I'm no sociologist, but if I had to guess, there are probably two core reasons for the different culture:

1. Pseudonyms (or first-names only) are allowed and widely used. So there's less expectation that your Twitter social life has to match your offline social life.

2. The asymmetric follow model. You can follow someone without them following you. You can unfollow someone and then change your mind and follow again without them even noticing.

Combined, the dynamic of Twitter is that you follow based on interest, whereas on Facebook you friend based on acquaintanceship. That produces a pressure to be interesting.

I'm not a particularly heavy user of either Twitter or Facebook, so please weigh in if anyone thinks I got this wrong. But this is why they feel different to me.
just do this on the parent field:

$(parent).attr("media", "field_id: url_of_media, field_id: url_of_media")

And then conditionally parse the element for media attachments.

OR, you could use $(parent).data() to attach a data struct to it.

Why does facebook make you hate people you know?

No, but it makes me despise people I used to know from my youth/school, because apart from one person who became a reporter in Africa with a strong eye for justice, ALL OF US have become such mediocre, boring squares.

Whenever I see an interesting blog post like this, I usually end up discovering a new website that I want to check out.

However, finding a clickable link to the main website for the blog is ridiculously hard.

Since the blog is primarily intended to support the main website (instead of standalone blogs), why not have a prominent link at the top for the website? Or even make the header link to the main website?

i.e. instead of linking to blog.<company>.com, please link to www.<company>.com. Having to manually edit the URL to remote the "blog." is tedious and pointless.
When I go riding around central Utah on my motorcycle (note: these are paved roads with a street motorcycle), I'm often out of cell coverage for hours at a time.

If I got caught in those places in snow that is feet-deep, I wouldn't expect my electronics to free me.

What I find really interesting is that this communication model is a totally novel one. Clay Shirky observed[1] that before the internet, all communication mediated by technology was either one-to-one (telephone, telegraph) or one-to-many (newspaper publishing). Only now with Facebook can we type up casual remarks that are instantly seen by potentially 100 or more of our real-world acquaintances. I can't think of any form of offline conversation that's analogous.

This is exciting to me because it suggests that how Facebook works is not the final form of online communication. There's still plenty of room to discover new forms of interaction that more closely model what humans find comfortable. Maybe the secret groups discussed in the OP (which I'd never heard of until now) are an example of that.

[1] http://www.shirky.com/writings/group_enemy.html
I love "secret" groups. It's great for my close group of friends to share pictures that we would otherwise not put on the Internet (and no I don't need a lecture, I'm aware that's "risky". If my employer wants to fire me if a picture leaks out of there, their priorities aren't set correctly)
My point was more along the line that a university should exist for the public good of education. As such it should teach, research, and publish (and by publishing produce prior art that prevent future patenting of the invention).

Acquiring patents (or being complicit in doing so) and then litigating (even as a proxy) does not appear to be in the public interest.
Blame is pointless, and needed only for pathological organizations. The point of these tools is not to assign blame but to find the last working revision of the code. If a commit inherits from multiple commits then there could be multiple working last revisions.

Think of it like sailing when the mast breaks, you don't who last touched the mast, you care how to get the mast back up.

In truth the totality of world events leading up to the moment the mast broke is what lead it to break. This is not important, what is important is how to right it.

If the question is viewed in terms of righting the ship then the point is to identify the last revision that worked, conversely the 'broken' revision is the next one.

Realistically, to solve the problem you'd want a genetic algorithm that could turn on and off each change in each revision to find the combination that yields the most fit iteration of the code.

I'm not a Canadian, nor an economist, but:

If the Canadian central bank is like any other central bank in the non-Euro world, it governs primarily on the basis of statistics. There's political influence, sure, but monetary policy revolves primarily around numbers. And depending on which version of mainstream economics you subscribe to, the importance of central bank policy in macro supply-demand equilibrium ranges from "all-important" to "almost all-important".

Those macro figures are crucial in unemployment and inflation numbers, and are increasingly suspected to play a part in the labor-capital balance.

TL;DR Medium-term macro numbers depend primarily upon the central banker manipulators of macro numbers.
What I wish someone had explained to me earlier was that Monads are an abstraction level up from most things you ever program with. Learn specific ones, and the general picture will start to make more sense. Avoid the IO monad until you understand, in order:

+ the List monad (probably the easiest for python people, since it's very similar to list comprehensions)

+ the Maybe monad (kind of a degenerate case)

+ the State monad

And it's much easier if you do it in Haskell, trust me. "Learn You A Haskell For Great Good" is a nice easy intro to the basics.

Yale Under Fire for New Campus in Restrictive Singapore
I've done about 4 years of research on sonification, which is using non-speech audio to represent patterns in data (http://mags.acm.org/interactions/20120102/?pg=37#pg37 for some specifics). This article is a subset of sonification in some ways, since we're representing some quantitative data using auditory parameters.

There's an entire class of scenarios where conventional HCIs can't represent data for analysis: where people have an occupied visual sense (doctors during surgery), where people are mobile, where people are overloaded by visual data (stock analysts), where the visual sense isn't suited for extracting data from noise (during the Voyager 2 mission), etc. We tend to rely only on our visual sense for communicating data, and as we start using computers for data display in more places, we're reaching the limitations of conventional HCI.

My research was on proving the viability of sonification - looking at the accuracy of comprehension, the cognitive and physiological processes, demonstrating shared mental processes with visual graph comprehension, etc. It's still something I'd love to revisit and commercialize someday.

Every year, as the snow hits, I "play" with the kids in the car in controlled circumstances. The points is to 1) re-awaken my skills and 2) give me a teaching opportunity with my kids. Dealing with an out of control situation in the ice is challenging enough when you are prepared. If you are constantly freaked out about the snow/ice, you are in big trouble when something unexpected happens.

It's also a lot of fun to deal with a car that is borderline out of control in a more controlled environment.

> It is a normal question... I never said it wasn't

> It's part of an interview process that includes an in depth review of your projects and roles, a technical screen, some design questions, et al.

It sounds like we agree there. The background question is essential. Behavioral questions are essential.

My problem is with the idea of agonizing over how you're going to spin your answers to these questions. It should just be a pretty straightforward conversation, and a fair share of the onus is on the interviewer for turning it into a conversation. If you're not willing to do that, that tells me that you, as a potential coworker or manager, are lazy and arrogant when dealing with colleagues or subordinates. Did you forget that the candidate is interviewing the company as well?

"What's your greatest weakness" is a lazy and arrogant question. It's also adversarial and belligerent. To the interviewer, the question is a zero at best because you'll never get a brutally honest answer to it. To the candidate, the question is a red flag. Asking the question is never a win, and neither is answering it.

Finally, while I've mostly accepted in my own life that a little bit of salesmanship and negotiation is needed to get by in the world, I simply don't think it's a good hiring criteria for engineers. Ten times out of ten, I want a colleague who is brilliant technically and a little naive rather than a colleague who is merely competent but a great bullshitter. I think it's much more important to select for "not an asshole" and "enough of a grownup to behave professionally" than salesmanship. Crucially, this is something I try to evaluate on both sides of the interviewing table, and I will think you're a bit of an asshole if you ask what my greatest weakness is.
Those questions may be good for grilling candidates, but it is not how one would sketch up a fantasy game irl. The right answer to all those questions are YAGNI and KISS. :) But those answers aren't valid so the questions seem to be rigged against the candidate as in "come up with a schema similar to the one I would have designed - not more complex than that and not more simple". I've seen way to many situations in which developers or other persons tried to design a complete schema in which every thinkable and unthinkable instance where covered. Which leads to an incredible amount of work implementing the application that is to use that schema. The more complex the schema, the more complex everything around it has to be which exponentially increases the amount of bugs.

Designing applications "schema first" is a disastrous technique which will trigger the architecture astronauts in every developer. With your set of interview questions, you could very well miss a really skilled programmer because he or she understands that keeping stuff simple is hugely more important than not having denormalized data in the database.
All that said, one of the reasons you may like it is because it's basically what everyone actually does.

Because Fb encourages behavior that gets "likes" and you dont have a "dislike" button to compensate. Let me explain: there is a class of behaviors that get quite a lot of "likes" but would also get even more "dislikes" if there was a "dislike" button. But these behaviors don't get negative feedback on Fb, but instead they get encouraged, even if less than others (and "less positive feedback" is not the same as "negative feedback"!). This brings the worst out of some people and makes them act stupid or childish on Fb even if they are not like this in real life! (I actually observed this change to worse in myself when I was an active Fb user, but only in retrospective, after giving up Fb for a time) Having a "dislike" button (but having it anonymously to prevent retaliation) would really change the dynamics, but it would also probably "prune" the network a bit, resulting in a less connected network and less engagement from each user, and I guess the Fb's "masterminds" thought of this and will not add such a feature because a "pruned" network is bad for their "business".

Fb the way it is now distorts and influences interpersonal relationships in a bad way, and this is why I use it with moderation (or mostly for business or advertising-like activities), reserving meaningful social interaction for other channels.

The point of most of these currencies (bitcoin, freicoin, et al) is to avoid the consequences of inflation. Yet because of the volatility inherent in the small monetary base they expose the holder to more inflationary risk. In laymans terms, the USD has never lost 90% of it's purchasing power in a month or two.

Commodities futures are far more liquid than bitcoin, freicoin, etc. USD has far less inflationary risk than bitcoin, etc.

Economies don't run on math, they run on confidence, there is little confidence in bitcoin/freicoin. That's the quintessential problem, like it or not, far more people have confidence in the $5 wrench (fiat) than computational complexity (cryptography).

Wait, what? My most common use case for blame is finding out who to ask about some code that I don't fully understand. Often a quick "git blame" and a short conversation can save a lot of time.
Could you please elaborate on your programming journey? I'd be very interested to know.
Pointless? You seem too caught up in the meaning of the word 'blame'. Maybe you should think of it as 'annotate', instead.

There are plenty of times where I want to find the changeset that last touched a line of code so I can read its commit message, find an associated bug tracker ticket, etc. What do these uses have to do with the last working revision of a project?
I use git blame to find out who to talk to before doing a refactor. Often when I see something as clumsy, there's a good reason for it and it is nice to know who to ask.

Open source groups warn Greece will waste millions on school software
I enjoyed the authors article. However, I think he misses the mark with some of his assumptions. Unlike some in this thread, I am NOT trained in economics. But:

1) I think the author incorrectly tries to nullify the family budget metaphor for economic prescription. While any metaphor only goes so far, he attempts to compare the micro-economic interactions within the family ("essentially communist") with the macro-economic revenue/spending/balancing act for a national budget. He misses the point that, in observing that we must "understand a family as a group of people functioning a single economic agent" we must consider the requirements of that economic unit to adhere to reasonable financial policies, such as making sure revenues are sufficient to cover debt service and expenses.

2) I think the author mis-characterizes the post WWII affluence of the American economy as a result of the wartime government spending combined with some magical wealth redistribution scheme inherent in a wartime economy. In reality, I believe the great American prosperity was more to do with the nation's near monopoly on manufacturing capacity after most of Europe was decimated (and Japan as well).

3) I agree with the author that "trickle-down": economics (actually more of a political thing than a real economic theory) is inherently flawed. I think he also misapplies the family metaphor here, as well, mixing the micro with the macro.

All in all this was an enjoyable and well-written article, and I appreciate the author's ideas about the "Robot Utopia." I don;t agree, but what fun is it if we always agree, right?

> Facebook started with the "let it all hang out" model and then grafted privacy on later

That's not actually correct history. Facebook started with most data visible only to your friends, and gradually increased the visibility (given default settings) over time. You can track the changes here:

http://mattmckeon.com/facebook-privacy/

Also, when Facebook launched it was exclusive to Harvard, and then to Ivy League colleges, and then to all colleges, and even for a while after they opened it up it was still mostly young people. Your friends list was a closer match to your peer group. So it's possible that the audience people used to get with a friends-only post a few years ago isn't all that different from the audience you get with a secret group today. I remember when I was first finding out about Facebook around early 2009, it had the distinct feel of a private social club.
When I left for my friend's for a couple of beers I quickly glanced at his StackOverflow question. It was a copy paste of his facebook post. I thought "Mmm, this is probably getting closed". Turns out I was right :)
