"This sort of statement sounds suspicious to me. Are you absolutely sure your meaning of introvert isn't idiosyncratic?"

The problem is that there are a number of different ways to categorize an extraversion-introversion spectrum, and on top of that, there are many different connotations of introversion and extraversion. It might help if I clarify which definition I'm referring to. It's not very idiosyncratic; rather, it's the classical definition of introversion as "primarily interested in, or taking pleasure in, solitary activities." Occasionally this is rendered as a locus-of-energy distinction: extraverts derive energy from social situations and "tire" of isolation; introverts derive energy from alone time and "tire" from too much social interaction.

Modern connotations of introversion tend to conflate introversion with shyness or awkwardness. While these traits can be correlated, they are not the same thing as introversion.

"If someone wants to be alone, there is absolutely nothing non-genuine about that desire"

Nor did I say there was. I'm just stating that desire to be alone is often at odds with one's ability to keep friendships active and thriving. It's not wrong to be alone, or to want to be alone. But the introvert needs to be mindful of this desire, particularly to whatever extent it interferes with conflicting goals, such as wanting more friends. In this case, the author specifically stated a desire to make more friends. So I wrote from the presumption of that intent.

I'm not rendering any value judgments about introversion or extraversion here. It's not "wrong" to be introverted, or to derive mental or emotional stimulation and energy from being alone. As I mentioned, I myself am a strong introvert in this respect. I don't think I'm a damaged or flawed individual because I'm introverted. Rather, I'm mindful of the fact that my introversion, if I always give into it, can cause problems for my social life. And so I attempt to moderate it, as I do with any of my strong personality traits.

"Different people also want different things from friendships. So if there are two friends, and one sees hanging out as only the means to establishing a deeper intimate friendship, but hanging out and having fun is the main purpose of the friendship to the other, then that's not such a great friendship."

Sure, but that doesn't change the basic facts of social interaction, such as frequency and proximity. You need to interact on a regular basis with someone to maintain a friendship, regardless of what you enjoy doing in that friendship. It doesn't matter if the friendship is predicated on grabbing beers, having deep, philosophical discussions, building things together, traveling, or having sex. At its most basic level, the friendship depends on N encounters over an X period to remain stable. N and X might differ for different pairings of people, but some number N and some recurring interval X usually exist.
TheNews (iOS) – HN and DN in one app
To be honest, there have only been two major relevant Android versions; 2.x and 4.x. Under 4.x, they realised that getting updates to devices (where they had to rely on phone manufacturers) just wasn't dependable, and they overhauled both their OS's architecture (moving most services out of the core OS into Google Play Services) and their release system (allowing for over-the-air updates without the phone manufacturers' intervention).

So unless they've rebuilt Android from the ground up, I doubt they're going to do a 5.0.

No. No no no. Sue them. Sue them dead. Where product and brand robbery thrives, developers wither. What's the point in working hard in developing a game (or anything) if all your hard decisions are just going to be copied in a matter of weeks? Why bother? There is certainly an evil side to copyright, trademark, and patent, but these weapons have a place on the side of justice too. Unprotected developers—at least those for whom the money or glory has significance—will give up eventually. When imagination doesn't pay off, the only ones left will be the unimaginative, the copy cats, the cloners. Sue them, for our sake if not yourselves.

In Québec (where those batteries would be recharged), if we need more dams we build more dams. The only limiting factor is the demand and the amount of legal nightmare we are ready to unleash by flooding the first nation land. In both case, money is usually the answer. A single river can support tens of dams as long as the flow is correctly regulated. Moving that power to the states (2000km) is wasting 70% of the power in losses. Better build more smelters in the north and ship the energy as battery instead.
Now still $10 is not $5 plan compared to other virtual server hostings.

Imagine a spherical IT engineer in vacuum, who needs to host a LAMP/Ruby/Python/Whatever website with one and half visitors a day. Will he create larger instance on the same hosting when a customer asks him to host something larger? Sure thing, he will. But will he go and look somewhere else, when he had pleasure of hosting his homepage for months/years? Doubtly. That's a selling point.

Great, they announced that they'd be doing this a while back. Good to see them finally release it. Linode have always been good for stability, they might not be the cheapest but they have very few network issues and have damn good network speeds.
They're pretty equivalent though. I think DO has the advantage by providing a $5 plan as well for those that are new or what to experiment new stuff on smaller servers first (which is what I do myself).
Wrong language. Not English. Help out a class for your native language. Tutor before/after class anyone who wants to talk in your native language. If the conversation tends toward "lets go get coffee / tea / movie / bar whatever after class" well, that's what happens. "I've got a great idea, how about I take you to dinner and you try to teach me as much English as I'm teaching you?" or if bunch of guys, "Oh you're watching football together on Sunday afternoon, could I come over to work on my English, I'll bring some beer?"

Also if you are asian and start talking in perfect English like George Takei they're going to assume you're perfectly extroverted and an expert on American social cultural norms and behaviors, oh good how nice and stressful if you're introverted. But if you're just good enough to communicate most of the time while clearly putting in some kind of effort, they'll cut you a huge amount of slack, regardless if the actual problem is you're all introverted anxious exhausted. He's not terrified to be talking to a pretty girl, he's just having English troubles, no problem.

But would people pay money to read this?

It seems that people don't want a factual news source. Especially not for celebrity coverage. It's the same reason that people flock to talk radio or fringe conspiracy sites: the truth is boring and/or depressing. It's the humor sites that come closest to the bone (the Onion, the Daily Mash etc).
Reinventing The Boundaries of Science Journalism
When I start to feel social anxiety, I ask myself, "what is the worst that can happen?" And then I reply to myself, "a secret band of assassins could swear a blood feud against my family." All of that is to underscore the absurdity of fear and anxiety.

What really is the worst thing that can happen? People could not call you back and invite you to the next party. Well, you weren't going to that next party if you didn't make the effort anyway. And if you be yourself and they aren't accepting of you, you don't want to be at that next party with those assholes anyway.

Just remember, you're not going to find "best friends forever" right away. Paradoxically, one of the best things you can do when you find a group of people you like is to find another group of people. If you try to "over optimize" your time with that first group, you could alienate them. It's normal to go a month between seeing certain groups of friends, so if you want to see people more often than that, then you have to find more circles in which to hang out.

Any reason why the title here is censored? It's spelled out in full on the linked page.

Anyone who knows what the word means and is shocked by it will surely still be shocked even with the * in. I've never understood what partial censoring, intentionally done so that people can still read the thing, achieves.

EDIT -> Ah, the title has been edited now, it did say "bullsh*t". It's probably a good example of how to derail a potential useful submission by focusing on the wrong details when creating a title.

Does it only work for Android? And does someone know of something similar for iOS?
Being introvert doesn't mean you can't talk to people but that you get back your energy when alone. So your issue is being afraid because you're self-centered or, in other words, too conscious of yourself instead of others (ie most people usually don't care about the way you talk, etc). I do the same and have a hard time keeping my friendships.

Stop looking at yourself and go out. Try voluntary work and take your time taking care of others. Or just buy a dog.. just by taking care of the dog, you'll meet people (park, etc). One of the best way I found to start talking is asking advice. Everyone likes to give advice.
Why is "bullsh*t" considered less objectionable than "bullshit"?
Religion is bullshit for bullshits sake. Is religion not the only place where bullshit is acceptable, nay .. even required .. and that people know that before they get involved in one?
I think Linode is great hosting company. However, if they don't innovate, someone else will catch up soon, especially Linode (since 2003) already around 10 years plus.

I also wondering why they don't offer more services like AWS.

However, AWS recently increase EC2 pricing (almost 100%) for better hardware (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/).
And as easy as that, we all switch. Ain't this wonderful?
This is why I went with DO. Linode does appear to be a better value for anything beyond the $10 plan, though -- just from a raw numbers perspective.

> If you're a true introvert, your biggest enemy is yourself. It's your desire to be alone. It's your preference for living by yourself, for quiet moments away from others, for nights spent at home, watching Netflix or playing games. Making friends means making an effort to hang out with them, even when it doesn't seem like the most immediately pleasurable, comfortable, or convenient thing to do at any given moment.

I am highly introverted. This is surprisingly and confusing to even the closest of my friends because I have learnt the art of being incredibly outgoing and a veritable chatterbox when need be. However, it is exhausting as fuck. So I balance it out. I go all out, make plans do things with people. But I make sure I have me time where I shut down and do things on my own. It is always a balance though. Because it is very easy for me to focus on me time and do my own thing. And forget about the fact that friendships have to be taken care.
> What if it's because the claims in the mentioned comments were actually unsubstantiated? Read the article linked by aidanhs:

> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7898305

Red herring. aidanhs' reply was to someone who genuinely asked why garbage collection is problematic. The comments I'm talking about have not mentioned garbage collection, just questioning what innovative really is. I guess you then tried to infer that they thought that garbage collection vs. reference counting doesn't matter, i.e. isn't innovative? I find that to be an unfair inference. They might as well think that something like that has already been done/is being done, i.e. with Rust and how it relegates any automatic memory management to opt-in libraries.

So it seems to be a disagreement about what is really worthy of being called innovative, not any technical merit, as the comments that I'm talking about has not questioned that.

> From the article:

Straw man, unless you somehow know that all of these people only have experience with server-side programming.
Instead of reading anything, I would recommend doing. There are enough people in most places to stand making a few mistakes in trying to make friends.

As a general rule of thumb, make decisions that go towards extending conversation, rather than shutting it down. Whatever is going on, do the thing that leads to the most action, even if it's not in your control, or anyone's control. Embrace chaos.
The storage capacity is different. At the $10 level, DO provides an extra 6GB (pretty marginal), but above that Linode has the advantage on storage. I haven't used Linode in a couple years, but DO seems a little slow on my $10/month toy server.
Looking at those two games side by side in the store the lite version looks more professional. Can I suggest having a nice appealing icon like Quento Lite? Might do wonders.Just from the icon you can tell that it is some kind of math puzzle, but you have no idea what you are getting with a plus in a yellow square.
When calling out to other code you don't control, you lose determinism in the sense of being able to exactly predict when objects get destroyed when you write the code. The refcount semantics of the code you're calling can change while still maintaining correctness, and this can cause your objects to be destroyed differently. Accidentally relying on this has been the cause of many OS-version compatibility problems on the Mac over the years.

For multithreading, I thought that would be fairly obvious. Once two or more threads hold ownership over a single object, you can no longer be sure which thread will perform the final decrement (at least in the general case) and so you don't know exactly when the object will be destroyed, or even which thread it will be destroyed on.
Yeah, Penn & Teller started out debunking psychics and so on -- then they decided gun control and recycling are bullshit too.

I think one needs to be very careful about this business of "cutting through the bullshit" or whatever. It's easy to turn it into a self-righteous way of talking about whatever you disagree with. You're not just disagreeing, you're scoring a victory for the truth in a world full of crap, etc., etc. Also, it does nothing to analyze why certain social fictions are propagated and continue to function even if no one believes in them. You can just content yourself with thinking everyone is full of shit and stop thinking there.
Or, Quento lite is so poorly done that people assume they are from the same company and simply avoid Quento altogether.

1.) the grass is always greener (translation: other people tend to appear happier, more successful, etc... than they actually are; keep this in perspective otherwise you will not be happy with the simple pleasures right in front of you);
2.) meeting new people usually hinges on finding a common interest; since you are self-conscious about your English-speaking skills, perhaps start with a meetup group or association for people who speak your first language (you will probably be more confident in the environment); next, find a meetup group or association for your real favorite interest... http://www.meetup.com/
3.) I find it easier to talk to other introverts like myself, because I know they are pretty much thinking the same things you and I are thinking, they often don't bullshit as much so you can trust what they are saying much more, and they often value your friendship and are overall better friends.

I'm not doubting that PDF.js is an amazing work of effort -they have essentially replicated the entire PDF rendering engine - but that considering a different approach, with a different set of tradeoffs, could yield a solution requiring far less memory and still have practical use.

When considering memory, keep in mind that using too much - combined with every other process the user could be running - means a higher chance of needing to use the swapfile, and then any performance advantage otherwise gained disappears rather quickly. It should be noted that browsers already cache rendered page images (from HTML) in memory and are very good at that, along with rendering HTML.
Based on this: ...it's really painful on times when I have a lack of self-confidence. I think it may even become dangerous later.

I suggest reading these:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_anxiety_disorder
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapist

Being introverted doesn't have to be painful, and you don't have to stop being introverted to stop hurting. A good therapist (and/or medication) can help with that. Part of that will involve changing how you think about yourself, and part of that will involve practicing the things you aren't confident about. Talking to people will become easier that way.

In the Bay Area there's a good chance you'll be able to find a therapist that speaks your native language. If you find it hard to open up with them, start by showing them this post.

Good analogy about roulette. How and when things go viral and take off can be as random as any casino game.

And most importantly, what happens at the table after you walk away has no effect on you. You left the game when you decided to. Asking "What if I had bet one more time?" is a rabbit hole that can paralyze and cripple your forward decision-making.

Relatedly, you may want to look up the idea of a sunk cost: things that happened in the past are done with, and cannot be changed. Sunk costs are irrelevant to your plans for the future. It is very very tempting for us to dwell on things like this, but ultimately it is healthier (and more strategically profitable) to look forward, not back.

I mostly agree with what you say, but ballroom is also a good choice -- its true that social dances usually are held at studios, but they often draw a broader crowd than dances at the same studio, and if you are in a place with an even half-decent ballroom scene, you can find multiple studios besides the one you take classes at (assuming you only take classes at one) for social dancing, so you can get quite a bit of variety.

> Those from continental climates may find the variability refreshing!

Continental climates have distinct seasons, (almost) by definition. That's certainly a kind of variability.
I understand the reasons behind the disparity - and I'd say geography has little to do with it; most people in Europe learn English has a second language, not whatever language their neighbours speak. In fact, if anything we avoid learning their language, since we're at war with each other every half a century.

But understanding the reasons doesn't make invalid. If anything, it makes it more valid, since the reason we all learn English as a second language is because the Americans pushed for it, from Hollywood to the Internet. It's not like English was the natural default; my mother was still taught French. It wasn't until a few decades ago that English became the only thing we must absolutely learn.

In any case, I meant only what I wrote; that Americans don't know second languages is a fact. Whether that's cause for bashing was not part of my post.
