Could this have more to do with the fact that PHP/Javascript is the primary language used at Facebook whereas it is pretty much language-spaghetti at Google? Perhaps Zuckerberg figured that his technical culture didn't leave much

This is great work, another fantasy of mine made reality and posted to HN! Is their a tutorial for getting started with OSCAR? A "HOWTO" for analyzing a paper would make this program more accessible. If I could learn how to use it

Ahh perl... the first language I used to make something non-trivial. The coolest script I wrote was a load balancer that used ssh to submit jobs and monitor the activity of nodes in a cluster via commands remotely executed by ssh. No root a

Yep! Another commenter mentioned writing a script to do this. I would very much appreciate it if you could try to find the search terms to locate that article and post the article as a reply. I would appreciate it very much!

Wow... I've been having this idea for a watch for a while.. someone with the hardware knowledge pulled it off. Did the creators try having a short vibration for five minutes and than a longer vibration for an hour?
