    It's okay, Facebook. You can just leave it down. https://developers.facebook.com/status/issues/155022565098832/

  • How Silicon Valley is erasing your individuality - The Washington Post (www.washingtonpost.com)
    "Facebook represents a dangerous deviation in media history. Once upon a time, elites proudly viewed themselves as gatekeepers. They could be sycophantic to power and snobbish, but they also felt duty-bound to elevate the standards of society and readers. Executives of Silicon Valley regard gatekeeping as the stodgy enemy of innovation — they see themselves as more neutral, scientific and responsive to the market than the elites they replaced — a perspective that obscures their own power and responsibilities"

    Serious question: What are the good parts about Facebook for you? What do you get real value from on Facebook?

    Example and counterexample of what I'm looking for: "I like seeing pictures of my friends' cats" is an appropriate answer. "All my friends are on it" is not an appropriate answer, since there is no inherent value of having all your friends on it.

  • Draft.js | Rich Text Editor Framework for React (facebook.github.io)
    "For example, we want input behavior for RTL languages such as Arabic and Hebrew to meet users' expectations. We also want to be able to support editor contents with a mixture of LTR and RTL text.

    To that end, Draft uses a bidi algorithm to determine appropriate text alignment and direction on a per-block basis.

    Text is rendered with an LTR or RTL direction automatically as the user types. You should not need to do anything to set direction yourself."

  • Why Facebook Won, and Other Hard Truths | Hapgood (hapgood.us)
    You want to win against Facebook? Let go of the idea of people reading your stuff on your site, and develop or support interfaces that put your readers in control of how they view the web instead of giving the control to the people with the servers. Support people looking into federated recommendation systems. Make friends with the idea of full copies of your stuff flowing across the web instead of links.

  • Robert Scoble - I noticed that a few people keep asking about... (www.facebook.com)
    I noticed that a few people keep asking about whether one social network or service or another will be a good competitor to Facebook. They simply don't do any critical thinking and I find I just don't have time anymore to consider these claims. Here's a hint: let's say your new social thing is hot. Well, then it'll need bigger datacenters than Facebook has. Now, how is your new hot thing going to get, say, $4 billion to build said datacenters? Not to mention that Facebook has thousands of engineers, most of whom are paid more than $100,000 a year. You think your new thing is gonna be able to take on Facebook? Ask Google how that all worked out. Yeah, I know you can use Cloud Computing, but you ready for Instagram's AWS bills? Even Facebook is looking at those with a fine tooth comb now (they are in the millions, I hear, every month, and that number is old). And, how are you gonna get your logo on every taco truck in the world? Medium right now is burning my phone up with notifications. So, how is your service going to filter out the crap? (Hint: filtering REQUIRES you to share something about yourself. In other words your system MUST gather private info about you). I just turned off Medium because the notifications no longer are mostly of interesting things said by interesting people. How is your service going to make money? Oh, really, you aren't going to have advertising? That's nice. So you are gonna get a billion people to quit using Facebook and move over to your thing and, say, pay $10 a month like I pay for Spotify? I don't think so! Finally, how is your service going to get the best content developers onto it? A friend of mine buys advertising for Kia. She just paid a famous Instagram user $50,000 for ONE PHOTO that had their car in the background. So you think that Instagram VIP is gonna move over to your service that pays a few cents per 1,000 views? You are nuts. Until you can figure those things out, leave me alone. Facebook, LinkedIn, Snapchat, NextDoor and Twitter are in the power seat. Don't bother me until you have a REAL alternative. Thanks. Finally, I won't even mention these new things by name. Why? I only hate things I respect. Why? Because I know at least 10% of you disagree with everything I write or video. You are here just to hear the other side from where you are. So if I hate on something those things get a nice audience for free. I won't do that anymore. Have a great weekend! That all said, I joined WeChat this week and have hundreds of messages already (although Messenger is better here, and has far less spam). So you want to compete? Go to a market that matters, like China or India. But keep in mind that Mark Zuckerberg already is focused on those two markets too. Translation: if you know how to code why don't you do something else with your skills?

  • The technology behind preview photos (code.facebook.com)
    To address these issues, we asked ourselves if we could create a visual impression of the image using only 200 bytes. Why 200 bytes? In order to remove that second network request, we needed to include some facsimile of the image itself in the initial network request.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and am the editor of several W3C specfications. I record videos for local conferences and help run a podcast studio in Portland.

I wrote 100 songs in 100 days! I've been tracking my location since 2008, and write down everything I eat and drink. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
