Lets get rid of the notion that Facebook doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing.
"he"?
It's a not-very-funny attempt at a Rubio joke.
Graphing when your Facebook friends are awake

#92Small tip: If you don't want to be tracked, you can also turn off the chat.
Doesn't actually work considering Facebook shows "Active X mins ago" even if you're never "Active now" via chat.

#93I don't have a Facebook account, but is there really no way to not share your available status to your friends? In Gmail you can simply sign out of Hangouts. On a side note, > If you’re wondering why the response starts with “for (;;);”, it’s to, among other things, encourage developers to use a quality JSON decoder, instead of like, y’know, eval(). This is wrong, as I commented on the linked StackOverflow post, perh…
You sound pretty neurotic

I was thinking at the same thing today reading some tutorial. You have these serious ass tutorials that are an horror to read. And then you have these gems, these very informal tutorials with jokes and slangs and ... and reading them is a pleasure. I guess if you're a serious company like Apple, you can't really have that kind of tutorial for iOS dev. But that would really help.
> I guess if you're a serious company like Apple, you can't really have that kind of tutorial for iOS dev. The fact that this is true is, to me, a slightly sad reflection on our culture. I understand that too much silliness can get in the way of conveying information, but as you point out, so can too much seriousness. It's obviously a fine balance, and unfortunately it seems safer to err on the side of seriousness wh…
The major problem is that people from other cultures won't get the jokes, and when you aren't in the know the colloquialisms add ambiguity.

#95This is random, but....
Nice with this data I might finally and truly finish my Social Alarm Clock idea and do so in which it truly improves the sound of your alarm clock; one that always makes you smile, laugh, etc.
There's been tons of social alarm clocks(from Justin Bieber to Nestle to Sony to Wakie, etc) since releasing sleep.fm in 2007 (a century ago in Internet years) yet no one has executed on the idea properly.

#96Great work and nice style of writing...felt like nerd Deadpool ripping away FB :P
That's actually a great way of putting it.

Re: Graphing when your Facebook friends are awake
#98Nice work! I really like the idea that the web allows anyone to programmatically dig into the UI and extract data to do things. A friend and I actually made a whole API to interact with FB chat. You should check it out: https://github.com/Schmavery/facebook-chat-api . I'd really love to see what you can come up with, with some of the stuff we support.
I personally use BitlBee with bitlbee-facebook [1], and hook up my existing IRC bot to it. It works for my needs.

#99My favorite part - > This friend recommended nvd3.js, presumably because you’re not making real graphs in 2016 unless your graphing library is .js and requires at LEAST one other .js as a dependency. Everyone looks at you like “what, you DON’T already use .js? Jeez say goodbye to your Hacker News karma. Just apt-get install npm && npm install bower && bower install-” NO STOP IT THIS ISN’T WHAT TIM BERNERS-LEE WANTED”…
Lol, I love how "SAMPLE TEXT" is part of every section of that :)

#100As someone who is not personally humiliated by my interest in computers/tech/programming, I wasn't really entertained by the constant "oh yea lol it's cause I'm a waste of oxygen that I know that, don't you hate me as much as I hate myself?" Maybe I know too many nerds with actual self esteem issues to find it funny.
It's not humorous because it's funny that he would have low self-esteem; it's humorous due to the irony in the juxtaposition of a demonstration of something so obviously clever and impressive and an over-the-top embodiment of a self-effacing stereotype. Maybe he's putting it on a bit thick, but I think it's well done.
