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?

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

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.

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

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

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