> Just like the IT departments at large companies, I had created a scenario where I was building internal tools that I wasn't prepared to support and service. The excitement clouded my foresight - and I didn’t consider that each new project would require regular maintenance and ongoing support. I would get asked to add functionality or work on bug fixes, which amounted to several hours of additional work each week. Worse yet, I was on the hook when something stopped working at the worst possible moment.

Woah, he actually writes this off as a bad thing. The only real issue here is that he just created himself a new essential department with himself as the head. Most people would be thrilled - he needs to go approach executive leadership with a simple report on how much he is helping the company and how he needs to hire on additional help. It doesn't really matter that there are possible 3rd party solutions that would work - his solutions are already working and creating obvious value.

This is the opposite of a bad thing - he's probably just created himself a new position and massive raise. I think people talk a lot about all sorts of things missing from CS education, but clearly the best thing a school could do is shove in a bunch of business classes into the CS curriculum to prevent people thinking this is somehow a bad thing.
I don't think Wikimedia understands just how many editors they have lost due to this problem. It is simply too late to fix. Wikipedia is dead to far too many people with knowledge that could have been shared.

Who is going to maintain that API? I love them as much as anybody, but lets be realistic here. There just aren't that many great engineers out there.

Building on top of hacks is, once you get used to it, not all that much harder than integrating an API. Just another problem to solve. Break down problems, isolate the solutions so they can be tested independently, keep all your work in source control, treat deployment to devices as a first-order concern, and always keep a backup plan for when the device fails. You'd have to do most these things when integrating an API anyway.

Neat article. When talking about a Cambrian explosion, I really mean how the market has exploded - you're seeing so many new companies, designs, and approaches. While the high-end has gone a bit crazy, the perf/$ has basically increased above the board as well (heck, the ER4s sold for like $300+ (close to $500 in today's buying power) 15 years ago, so the fact that you can get them now for ~$200 is pretty great.

The technology is evolving in that way, sort of. We have tools for content analysis and one of such analysis is text summarization. It would be extremely useful if text summarizators would become developed enough to be of any practical use. To be able to easily create a summary for the entire book, then if you're interested - for the individual chapters, and so on, each time in various volume/detail according to your time constraint and degree of interest. Pretty much like a zoom function you do on a very high resolution image.
I lived in a concrete high rise recently and it wasn't very nice. It didn't feel like a home, more like an office. There was noise from the plumbing and the car park was so noisey I couldn't use it because the ventilation system was almost as loud as a jet engine.

I am moving into a brand new 3 story building made with concrete slab floors and masonry block walls. It has nice high ceilings and I got the best corner with only 1 shared wall, lots of Windows and natural light, and quiet street. Unfortunately, it is very rare to find an apartment this good.
SpringerOpen is not what's being talking about here. There are only a few dozen books listed in that page. I don't think any of the books being referenced in the comments is there.
Open source code and hardware like Arduino and Raspherry Pi are great.

Though, most IoT devices I came across are closed and of very bad quality (security issues, no updates, phone home, etc), are very dumb (brain sits "in the cloud"), often consume more energy over time and actions take longer than with normal devices (it's all about physical laws, if you want to boil water with less energy it will take longer...).

Ironically, most IoT devices don't make senses in average households. Most devices simply cannot use less energy, or can be used in the night. Do you want that your washing machine starts in a room above you in the middle of the night? How will the shirts look like in the next morning? Is it funny to use the loud vacuum cleaner for 2 hours, whereas your older model had more power and you had finished your work in 1 hour? Also a recent news article highlighted that several companies from Germany (and likely other countries) like Siemens, Bosch, Miele are cheating with the energy certificate tests of household devices - exactly like VW/Bosch with Volkswagen cars. If you set a modern Miele washing machine to 60 degree Celsius it splash your shirts for a few seconds with 58 degree water (the period of the EU tests) and then use colder water (below 40 degree) for the remaining wash cycle. So they cheat to achieve the tests and consumers buy such devices. So a recent "smart device" device is often a bad investment (and sometime it even cheats on you) - there are only a few exceptions. And one is better of if it is build of open source components.
I live in a 20million+ city in China (we call 2million a village). Everything is concrete and overbuilt (walls, floors are thick); so noise for the units around you is fine. However, outside is another story: I've had many sleepless nights with construction outside, and delivery trucks with backup warning sounds...ugh. Right now is dance-in-the-square time, and I can hear whatever music the old ladies are dancing to pretty clearly!
This is like saying the more developers you put on a project, the more entrenched you become...so developers are not a panacea.

If you need to write quality code, you will need to invest in writing tests. If you wrote the wrong code, yes, you will need to rewrite the tests. But that's a different problem.

I mostly lived off of cornflakes, coconut water, occasional fruits and a weekly chicken binge (or other food from a Chinese butcher shop) when I was becoming a programmer. It took very little time and cost less than a third of what Soylent does.

I used a book called Learn to program, by Chris Pine. There's a free version online. After that, I did some stuff on code school.
Impressive but everything is very slow for me - I've tried on my late 2015 5k iMac i7 and 2015 Macbook, both take almost a minute to load to the desktop in Firefox, granted I have a very slow internet connection at 18Mbit down 2Mbit up but given that it appears to be quite small in size something must be awry?
Reminds me very much of London, the prices are so high now that you're paying half your salary in rent and you'll very likely still end up in a shared "house" which has 8 bedrooms.

As you can imagine, a 4 bedroom house converted into an 8 bedroom house is not exactly quiet or peaceful.

When I decided I wanted to live alone (and bumped my rent to 74%~ of my salary) I was greeted with very serious road noise. Which seems to become an unidentifiable dull throb in your head after a while, rather than something you consciously hear.

I'm sure living in large cities is very bad for mental health.

> That's only because the term "API" -- until very recently -- was only used to describe language-level API, while what today is known as a web API has always been called a protocol, so don't let the recent overloading of the term confuse you.

A protocol is not the same as an API and I don't hink that the, for example, Google Maps interface is a protocol

> More to the point, the reason copyright may apply to APIs but certainly not to protocols is because copyright law is not only concerned with the intent, abstraction, or use of the work, but also with its form. This why other IP protections (like patents) exist, to cover works whose form does not match those covered by copyright.

But a web API is not a protocol and a communication protocol is not what is used to call Google Maps, beeminder or other web applications.

> Yes, but that was the point. Google made some arguments that they believed would make APIs non-copyrightable. The court ruled that those arguments are fair-use arguments which are not relevant to the question of copyrightability, but may be used as a defense once APIs are copyrighted.

NO, the appeal ruling had nothing to do with Google arguments about fair use. If there is a new trial to rule about the fair use is because in the original trial, the ruling about fair use was stalled by the jury and Judge Alsup stated that API's can't be copyrighted. And the Appeal court didn't wanted to rule about fair use

> Quite the opposite. It is the copyright holder who has to sue you.

Yes, but fair use is not automatically granted, so, you're in danger to be sued by the copyright holder. Microsoft can sue WINE developers or Amazon can sue anyone developing a clone of the AWS API.

Hi wener, HN isn't really a place to get tech support for problems like that, I think you should look elsewhere. First of all, have you tried googling the error? Quite probably, somebody has encountered it before you and you can learn from that person's experience. If you don't find anything there, check out Github's own help sites, or ask a proper tech support site like StackOverflow.

That's not an established fact at all. There is a whole lawsuit going on about it, if you haven't heard. If the final ruling is that APIs can be copyrighted, I'll change careers and never buy/condone the purchade of an Oracle product for as long as I live.

I had to make this decision recently. I am moving into an apartment soon. It is all concrete though, so I think it might be different to the types of apartments you tried. I did think about moving into a house in the middle of nowhere but the thought of a single person living in a 4 bedroom house with a yard was just too ridiculous for me. Also, the windows of the houses were only a few metres apart so I am not sure it would have been an better. The other problem was that the demographic was very different to me.

Yes, pretty much. This never took off though, to a large part because the UX sucked and the search results used to be terrible. It's a classic chicken-and-egg problem: The search results get better with more users but you can only hope to acquire users if the results are any good right off the bat.
I doubt that. Look at all these devices that rely on cloud connections. Be it your brand new burglary alarm system, your Tesla S, your new home automation system, your Samsung fridge with a display, etc. ...if the company stops the support or goes out of business, your device is more or less an expensive brick. And then there is planned obsolescence, given the internet connection such companies can turn on the kill switch or release updates that add new features but make the older devices so slow that you will have to buy a new one.

There was a recent story on HN about first generation Samsung smart fridges that stopped working correctly after a software update.
Womens wear
i want the latest party wear collection for 2016?
Because installing soundproofing that effectively blocks footsteps of a 3-year old is impossible after the building was built in the wrong way.

Sound propagates through floors, heating installations, windows, cable ducts etc. If those weren't properly installed and shielded it's pretty much impossible to dampen sound without rebuilding several floors.
Reducing CPU load also

* reduces power usage, wear and tear on hardware

* gives more capacity for traffic surges

* gives more headroom for new features

* enables running on a smaller instance

This isn't an argument against slow code, more of a suggestion to tune out unnecessary work.
Cloudy with a Chance of Lock-In
Google has been an OpenJDK contributor for server-side stuff for a while.
"n McKinsey & Company’s 2012 report entitled Delivering large-scale IT projects on time, on budget, and on value, the report describes one example of a large bank that wanted to create a central data warehouse to overcome inconsistencies in their data. In this particular example, the end goal was never properly defined and the IT department embarked on building a solution that never considered the actual business objectives, resulting in ‘huge amounts of unnecessary complexity’ and significant cost overruns. After 18 months of missed deadlines, nearly $10 million in sunk costs, and no working solution, the bank decided to stop the bleeding and cancel the project altogether."

I don't see how the bank could have got a solution to this from a SAAS vendor... they would still have had to pipe the data to the warehouse, build the reports and management scripts and so on - setting up the data store is a task, true, but so is initialising your store on a cloud provider.
I guess the immediate question is, how much energy is this guy's (small) brain consuming?
Oracle runs OpenJDK. They aren't separate projects.
>There is no technological equivalent for a dog's nose in reliability, form factor, and cost.

i specifically mentioned SWAT missions. This is where a robot can replace the dog or man "on the point". It just have to enter the room/etc. and burn several flash grenades, even without throwing them :) After that real people&dogs may enter much more safely.
> A protocol is not the same as an API and I don't hink that the, for example, Google Maps interface is a protocol

However you want to call it, unlike a "proper" API, it is not of the right form to be copyrighted, regardless of the ruling pertaining to "proper" APIs.

> NO, the appeal ruling had nothing to do with Google arguments about fair use.

The court didn't rule on fair use, but it did address it. They said that now that it has been clarified that interoperability is not relevant to the copyrightability analysis, it may still play a role in connection with fair use. Namely, that Google interoperability argument isn't an argument against copyright, but rather a fair-use defense, which should be argued separately (http://www.fosspatents.com/2014/05/oracle-wins-android-java-...).

> Yes, but fair use is not automatically granted, so, you're in danger to be sued by the copyright holder

That danger had existed even before the court case; the ruling simply did not lift it. Fair use is granted neither automatically nor in court. It is a defense to be used if you are sued.
