Agreed; only, the fact that no one has done it conclusively so far says to me that the Lua community isn't/hasn't been thinking about these sorts of things, and makes me worry about the other holes I will encounter if I do delve into the la

I wouldn't have a problem with external unicode support if there was one "standard" recommended library that had a strong community behind it. My whole point is that that doesn't appear to exist.

Why is it in beta? Why does the mailing list [ http://lists.luaforge.net/pipermail/icu-lua-users/ ] have no activity on it?

Thanks, that's useful to hear. It isn't on the wiki page: http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaUnicode (which hasn't been touched since Sep 2009).

slnunicode hasn't changed or been updated, and has no forum posts or bugs since 2006 [ http://luaforge.net/projects/sln/ ] ICU4Lua hasn't been touched since April 2009, and is at 0.2B. [ http://luaforge.net/projects/icu-lua/ ] That sort of

I haven't seen the video [do they discuss this?], but the biggest problem I have with Lua is its lack of good unicode support. The Lua wiki suggests slnunicode and ICU4Lua, but neither library has been updated for a year. I'd love to use Lu

As a Facebook employee not involved with Platform, I'll say that I've seen (from afar) a lot of people realizing this needs lots of fixing and working to improve things.

340 thousand people is not that surprising of a following for a band that was notable in the 70's, one that pioneered a popular genre -- it's been nearly 30 years, and you can enjoy a band's music without subscribing to the band's "movement

I think I understand what he's trying to say, but perhaps he could've picked a better example than Joy Division and U2. The Joy Division pages on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/JoyDivisionOfficial?ref=ts [55k fans] http://www.facebook

Perhaps the conclusion is that Facebook is not intended to be a networking tool, or a replacement for a real life -- it is simply a place/way to share online experiences with your real-life friends. AFAIK, it doesn't pretend to be anything

Facebook doesn't have a 20%-time /program/. That doesn't mean people don't have side-projects on their own time, or even multiple things they're doing at work. Plus they have regular hackathons which sometimes develop into full projects.

Atleast at Facebook, the PHP code quality and abstractions are very very good, and getting better. Developing the compiler in-house has some advantages.

What are some other sites that lay people use and that do as many things as Facebook does?
54.
by indigoviolet 16y ago
Yeah, but on something like Facebook, people don't necessarily think of (or prioritize, given the other pressing issues in their lives) informing the site that someone has passed away.

The difficulty here is not in building software for a memorial page [although I'm sure there is a lot of room for experimentation and improvement], but in detecting that someone has passed away, and then handling all interactions relating t

There's tons of metadata on top of this. Organization and patterns we haven't figured out yet. It's like saying a Linux distro is 700MB-- there's a lot of machinery in there.

This article is based on a false premise. Facebook doesn't need you to make your data public to serve you ads -- it already has access to this data. Advertisers tell Facebook which demographics they'd like to target, and /Facebook/ does the
