The major metropolitan area is Huntsville. Now I can see that Jane Doe lived, or once lived, in Alabama. Just go to Google and type in “area code 256” – substituting the area code of the phone number you have for 256 □ If you know the person’s name, then use the area code of their phone number to narrow down a location. Find someone on Facebook with a phone number and name Sometimes it doesn’t even work when you’re already friends with someone.īut here are a couple tricks you can use to help you narrow down search results when you have a phone number. Your search will return a load of random results – but not your friend! With the bigger emphasis on privacy recently, there seem to be more problems searching for a phone number on Facebook.įor example, if your potential FB friend has a privacy setting like ‘friends of friends’ on their phone number, you won’t be able to find them if you have no mutual friends. Problems with Finding Someone on Facebook by Phone Number So, mission accomplished to find a business. You can see below that I got the exact same results in the FB app as I did in a browser. You can then follow the search result to find the business’s Facebook Page. Hit search, and you should get the result you wanted at the top of the page.Add the phone number as a series of digits with no breaks or formatting, and include the area code.Tap the looking glass search icon in the top right corner.The process on a mobile app is a little different, but works the same on both the Google and iOS app versions. How to Use the Mobile App to Find an Account with a Phone Number You can then click the search result and check out the Facebook Page. In my search, Karen’s Cafe & Catering came out at the top of the All tab, as well as the Pages and Places tabs. If the phone number is associated with a Facebook account, you should see the correct result showing at the top of the page. You can just type the whole number without any dashes. Add the phone number of the account you’re searching for and hit return.īe sure to include the area code to increase your chances of success.Click the search bar at the top of the screen.Head to and log in, if you aren’t already.It works the same on computer, tablet, or phone browsers: Let’s look at the basic process on a browser first. ![]() If you can’t find a person by phone number, I have a couple tricks for you to use that number to narrow down your search, so keep reading. It’s worth a try though, since Facebook changes all the time! Unfortunately, at this time it appears that people, or what Facebook calls personal profiles, are no longer returned in the search results. In this case, I planned to visit a restaurant and wanted to see if their daily specials were posted on Facebook. The process for finding a business on Facebook if you have their phone number is a simple one. How to Find a Facebook Account by Phone Number Let’s see how to find a Facebook account with a phone number – followed by some workarounds to try if you run into obstacles. Spotting the person you want could take hours!īut if you have a phone number, then you might have a shortcut. With billions of users, you rarely run into a name with just one search result.Īnd if you’re looking for someone with a common name, you could face hundreds of results. If you’ve ever tried to find someone on Facebook, you know that it can be a challenge.

![]() I think that core architecture influences the takeup of either NW.js or Electron. I have noticed that a number of apps formerly built with NW.js have now moved to Electron and the resourcing of Electron looks more plentiful - looking a bit like a VHS/Betamax scenario however I'm happy with NW.js and for me it is a lot easier to understand than the Electron approach which appears to rely on IPC messaging, etc. It should be noted that a similar project exists called Electron (formerly Atom) - this was created for GitHub by a former Node-Webkit developer and has gained a lot of traction with devs/larger companies (eg: Microsoft with Visual Studio Code). 100M) - this is the price for easy cross-platform desktop development! I suppose the elephant in the room for NW.js (and the same for Electron) is that every application being shipped essentially is integrated into it's own customised Chromium browser so the binary sizes can be quite large for simpler programs compared to say apps built with C++ or suchlike (size starts at c.

Thereafter I tried the Konfabulator/YWE for small widget type apps and it worked great until they sold out to the Yahoo TV Widget dream.

If you can track down your system’s “dictionary” directory - usually in the subdirectory /usr/share/dict - there’s a file named words where every word in the English language appears on a separate line - 99,171 words in all. Matches all “graphical” characters (all letters, numbers, and punctuation marks)Īnd if you start your character class with the special ^ character, it takes on a new behavior: you can instead match all those lines which contain characters not matching your character set. Matches all numbers and letters (in the language of your current locale) Grep also supports the matching of “character classes” - displaying a line if it contains any one of the characters indicated in brackets.īut there’s also several handy pre-defined character sets. Grep '^Only this text appears on the line$' filenameīecause of ^ and $, there’s also an easy way to search for blank lines. Of course, there’s an alternate way to do that, using grep‘s ^ and $ metacharacters, which let you match the beginning and end of a line, respectively. Grep -x 'Only this text appears on the line' filename For example, if you’re looking for the word “ant” but don’t want to match all the other words which *contain* ant:Īnd if you want to only display matches when your search string is the entire line, try -x: ![]() If your grep searches are giving you a lot of “false positives,” there’s a built-in way to only display a match when your search pattern is a complete word: the -w flag. For example, grep uses a dollar sign as a special character matching the end of a line - so if you actually want to search for a dollar sign, you have to precede it by a backslash (and include the whole search string in single quotes).īut fgrep lets you just type in that dollar sign.Īnd you can also use fgrep to match for a dot or a caret without having to precede it with a backslash - which does make things more readable. Again it warns that fgrep “is deprecated” but “provided to allow historical applications that rely on them to run unmodified.” I’ve heard it referred to as “ fast grep,” because it basically throws away all of grep’s regular expression-matching, and just concentrates on quickly looking only for matching strings. Grep also spawned yet-another standalone tool, fgrep, which grep’s man page explains is the same as grep -F. You can also create a group of characters - which will only be considered a match if the entire group is present. Again, grep requires that you precede the pipe character with a backslash - but with egrep you can simply include it in your commands. ![]() The “pipe” character lets you separate a pair of characters, and will match if a line contains either character. You can also do the same quantity-matching with grep, but you have to precede the characters with a backslash.Īnd there’s one more powerful way to soup up your pattern matching: alternation. That lets you get more specific about how many times you want a character to appear in your matches. It’s like grep with a superpower - it searches through every subdirectory.Īnd then there’s egrep , which is the same as grep -E, though the grep man page warns that egrep “is deprecated,” but “is provided to allow historical applications that rely on them to run unmodified.” Searches with egrep match not only the usual metacharacters ( .* ^ $) but also the Posix-defined set of (E)xtended regular expressions. For example, there’s the recursive rgrep, which is the same as grep -r. History has it that Ken Thompson coded up the grep tool overnight to help a colleague search through the entire text of the Federalist Papers without having to load the whole thing into memory first.īut in the same way that the ed command g/ re/p became a stand-alone tool named “grep,” some of grep’s most useful flags eventually spun off into more tools. Yes, it was such a useful command that eventually became its own stand-alone tool.

Those locations were all available on the Event Horizon website, so it was just a matter of finding them on Google Earth and making movements that weren’t too crazy to sort of create some energy for the piece.Īs soon as I saw the black hole image-and actually earlier, because they had published a bunch of simulations of what they expected it to look like- even in the best case scenario it was going to be a really low-resolution, blurry photo that, if you don’t have a sense of how small and how far away this thing is, you’re not going to be impressed by. So I wanted to actually show people those telescopes. But it’s not intuitive, it’s pretty abstract. I had Google Earth Studio in the back of my mind during that time period when I was thinking of ideas, and so when people talk about a telescope the size of the Earth, I think it really helps to show how that’s made. JF: So Google Earth Studio is a really neat tool for video journalists that has only come around in the past year or two. Can you talk about how you came up with that opening? TN: I thought what was really interesting about your video is that you started off with the images of the telescopes instead of any sort of immediate lede about black holes. The phrasing of that press release made it sound like they had something good.… They didn’t seem to be adding caveats that suggested they didn’t get the image, and so it seemed like a good gamble for us to revamp the original video to focus on this project and publish it basically as soon as the image was available. Then it sort of came across Twitter that they were going to be making an announcement after all of these years. I remember in that video the focus isn’t really on the Event Horizon Telescope project, but we mentioned it and we said this will be coming in 2017, and then in 2019, it was like, Okay, where is it? On the video team, we’re always looking for work that the writers are doing that would work well for video. Joss Fong: This is kind of an interesting one to talk about because it was adapted from a video that we had published, I think in 2016 or maybe even 2015, that was a collaboration with one of the Vox science writers, Brian Resnick, who had written a piece that was titled “Why Every Picture of a Black Hole Is an Illustration.” Tiên Nguyễn: How did the video come about?
