NEVERMIND THAT, APIS IN THE CLOUD MY FELLOW ENTREPRENEURES
Fasebook··on The “Real World” is depressing me
Self respect and job gratification are algorithms to be optimized.
Fasebook··on The “Real World” is depressing me
Corporates are not human so I'm not sure what your basing your opinion on.
Fasebook··on The “Real World” is depressing me
No, my job is to work and your job is to pay me. If your business is successful or not, is none of my problem. Fuck you, pay me. I write your stupid shit enterprise cruft all day and cash your worthless benefits. You want me to create and generate new value? Fuck you, pay me. Nobody cares about your groundbreaking technology that is the foundation of thousands of other bullshit businesses selling nothing but hustle. Put the cash in my hand so I can get the fuck out of here.
Fasebook··on Libcloud: One Interface To Rule Them All
I have an even better strategy, instead of dealing with all this bullshit manufactured complexity and artificial scarcity, throw all that shit away and use basic web sockets like everyone already does, and save a fortune in time and money in the process. On top of that, you don't even have to support bullshit metadata protocols that do nothing but add overhead and implementation complexity, but are sold on being dynamic and secure, when the only thing that is dynamic is their product support and latency and the only thing that is secure is how fucked you are when your account is canceled.
Fasebook··on Ask HN: Founder's tactics crossing the line?
Will he make more money? Lets see what happens..
Fasebook··on There’s something rotten in the state of online video streaming
It's very common for video sites to distribute video via p2p like bittorrent so that the hosting site load is much much less.
Fasebook··on Implementing, Abstracting and Benchmarking Lightweight Threads on the JVM
But those instructions are embedded within another construct.
Fasebook··on Implementing, Abstracting and Benchmarking Lightweight Threads on the JVM
Wouldn't this kind of development target be better served by optimizing small C/++ programs instead of trying to optimize to some abstract virtual machine implemented on top of the hardware? I mean if speed really is your goal, why not do it correctly instead of hitting yourself in the face with an extra tree before starting?
Fasebook··on There’s something rotten in the state of online video streaming
Nobody dares to speak to how bad this is for the traffic. The "infrastructure issues" were introduced a long time ago when it was decided that all data needs to go through egress points, and conform to arbitrary standards for metadata. Japan doesn't have this problem because their internet actually is decentralized, and their culture isn't at threat from users streaming their own video to as many people as they wish (and the network supports it).
Fasebook··on Your SaaS product is too cheap if you never lose customers because of pricing
Jew the Jews before the Jews Jew Joo.
Fasebook··on Sony in talks to sell loss-making Vaio PC business
Buy our computers for utility instead of fashion.
Fasebook··on Life is a game, this is your strategy guide
So which drawer is the Ultima Weapon in?
Fasebook··on KeePass: OpenSource Password Manager
For some odd reason, KeePass conforms to the OSI model, so it is trivial to circumvent by NSA, since it communicates with its resource protocols (metadata) to XKeyScore via the presentation layer.
Fasebook··on KeePass: OpenSource Password Manager
Don't forget to audit your browser (the thing without a version number anymore and with various metatemplates and it dynamically downloads on every load) and it's implementation of ECMAScript. But everyone already knew that.

Really, auditing this is impossible.

Fasebook··on Third prominent banker found dead in six days
Why would you know?
Fasebook··on So you want to write your own language?
Here's a more technical version of a very similar article by the same author that was previously posted on HN: http://www.drdobbs.com/tools/creating-your-own-domain-specif...
Fasebook··on Why Games Should Enter The Public Domain
While we're at it lets let industrial applications and nuclear technology enter the Public Domain. The same argument works there.
Fasebook··on AWS Tips I Wish I'd Known Before I Started
What's the point of auditing security in the Cloud? Is there any point at which you can know that your making any progress?
Fasebook··on How in-app purchases have destroyed the game industry
Sure, if units sold is your only metric, then optimize for that.
Fasebook··on How in-app purchases have destroyed the game industry
People pay $99 for 99 lives in Bjorks Butter Batterer. People will pay $99 for a real game.

"already established reputation" is overrated in the age of the internet. Lets hope the internet is still around these days.

Fasebook··on The Chipotle Emphasis on "Throughput" Is A Recipe for Continued Disappointment
I really don't care if I have to say "steak" twice. If it was 3 times I would probably not go there again, but twice is a not a big rock for my wagon.
Fasebook··on How in-app purchases have destroyed the game industry
Not only this, developers shouldn't shy away from charging what they think the game is worth, $5, $29, $59, $99, whatever. If the game is good, people will pay it.
Fasebook··on Strangest Programming Language Feature?
Javascript's DOM
Fasebook··on The NHS is selling your private data – here's the price list [pdf]
Oh don't worry, you can "opt out"
Fasebook··on AMD reveals its first ARM processor: 8-core Opteron A1100
Do you have a source for any of this? x86 is much more powerful than ARM by watt, being exponentially faster at most math. I've never had anyone seriously propose that ARM is more efficient than x86 at anything then not pulling watts from a Li Ion battery.
Fasebook··on Inception - Root any machine over FireWire, Thunderbolt, others
It can still read and write to memory. If it needs to "initialize" anything, it will have to commandeer the CPU by creatively rewriting memory that is in use.
Fasebook··on Twitter, Box, and Dropbox attracting hordes of employees away from tech giants
Twitter was never a small start up. It saw a pattern and invested millions in following and overtaking. The internet would be a better place without it.
Fasebook··on Inception - Root any machine over FireWire, Thunderbolt, others
These interfaces have DMA, they don't need drivers to interface with the hardware.
Fasebook··on How Silicon Valley CEOs conspired to drive down tech engineer wages
What vision? The idea to make technology easy to use? What a mind blowing idea. I'm sure nobody thought of that before, in 10,000 years of human history. But you know, Jobs actually DID IT, he had the balls to hire a bunch of engineers to make his personal phone easier to use, and stiff them over and over systematically, like any business would.. Wait, what exactly did Jobs do? He had a lot of money.
