> It was a little rushed with the whole concept of forcing everyone to handle all exceptions

Just to clarify, Java doesn't force you to handle all exceptions (maybe it did at one point in time?). Exceptions which inherit from RuntimeException are unchecked and you can choose whether to handle them or not. Exceptions which don't inherit from RuntimeException are checked

As we say in C++ "exceptions should be exceptional".
This reminds me - not long ago I was on a trans-Atlantic flight and I was mindlessly poking around a touchscreeen of an in-flight entertainment system. A right-click menu poped up, a typical browser one. It had a SaveAs option, so I went on, looked around and the file system had typical *nix structure with /usr, /root, etc. Then they started the take-off prep and rebooted the while thing. So it gave me a minute or so. Once it was back up, I killed an hour trying to reproduce the menu popup, but couldn't.

So next time you find yourselves on the plane, bored - keep this in mind, try and reproduce :)
"On Error Resume Next" does not do what you think it does. It ignores the error, and marches blithely on. That is very different than "continuing where you left off, once the error is handled."
Wasn't flex also open source at some point? I remember there was some hype about it a few years ago. At least the compiler and SDK were opened.

Back then I played around with it a bit and eventually concluded the new AS was basically a re-do of the Java language, library and ecosystem (even the bytecode was similar). I know there is a curse on Java in the browser, and making it look like Java helps enterprise adoption, but mirroring Java to that degree looked like a bit of a wasted effort.
> At least JavaScript doesn't have typed catches. Holy black mother of darkness, that shit is intolerable.

I would like the author to expand a bit instead. In python there are typed catches, it seems to make a lot of sense to me: you catch only the exceptions you want, and let the other ones bubble up. It is well explained in Martelli's Python in a Nutshell.

I have seen try/catch construct in Java and Javascript, and it is probably less readable, and certainly can be over-used, but in Python, returning None in all exceptional cases is annoying, different issues got merged into a single "Muted" case.

To me, suicide is murder of self. Who's sicker: the one murdering another, or the one murdering oneself? Also, many murderers kills others first, then themselves.

Maybe this Diaspora fellow thought people wanted to kill him, so he thought he'd do it himself to save them the trouble because he'd already let them down once. Who knows.. but that's an ill thought process to have.
I never condemned anyone, nor did I say that I support suicide. What I support is the ability to choose freely the course of one's life.

I'm curious to know what percentage of the general population suffers from mental and/or substance abuse disorders, in comparison with that 90%.

And no, I have not known anyone personally who has killed themselves, at least not to the best of my knowledge. I do know, however, that I myself suffer from a number of "mental disorders" and at one point found myself a good bit suicidal.

If someone close to me did kill themselves, of course I wouldn't just say "ah well," that's being unrealistic. I'd be just as affected by it as if they got hit by a bus. My views on death are much different than most, though, so regardless of the manner or intent, it wouldn't affect me anywhere near the same way as you. No position changed, you lose your bet.

In my opinion APIs are also very critical for flow, beside the programming language. If I see easily what I must use/touch to get things to work, I'll be productive. In contrast to big/strange named APIs where I need to read a lot of documentation to get the idea behind.
A good idea? I think it's nuts! I strongly recommend that nobody ever do this.

Here's a nice shot of a Lufthansa in-flight entertainment system crashing and rebooting: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tims/3062736303/in/photostream/

It's doing a TFTP download of an image from a local server (all using martian IP addresses) and booting WinCE.

I find the OP story a bit hard to believe though. When I lived in Toulouse I talked to folks at Airbus about telemetry and I'm near certain that there was plenty of downlinking of data possible from the Trent 900 engines from the QUICK Technology for Engine Health Management and GE has for years provided real-time engine data download via ACARS.

What would be worrying is a connection on the same network between entertainment and controls of any sort. I'd like to see a better sourced story on this, though.

However, back when there was a flap about the Dreamliner networking the FAA gave a long response: http://cryptome.info/faa010208.htm

In it there's the following argument from Airbus:

"AIRBUS Comment (b): Airbus stated that in the sentence
``The design shall prevent all inadvertent or malicious changes to, and
all adverse impacts * * *'', the wording ``shall prevent ALL'' can be
interpreted as a zero allowance. According to the commenter,
demonstration of compliance with such a requirement during the entire
life cycle of the aircraft is quite impossible because security threats
evolve very rapidly. The only possible solution to such a requirement
would be to physically segregate the Passenger Information and
Entertainment Domain from the other domains. This would mean, for
example, no shared resources like SATCOM (satellite communications),
and no network connections. Airbus maintained that such a solution is
not technically and operationally viable, saying that a minimum of
communications is always necessary."

That appears to allow a network connection between flight and passenger systems. Frankly, I find that idea terrifying.
Your statement is a paradox!

I agree that burnout is a serious issue and relaxation is of the utmost importance. That said, I've hit and many times surpassed the 80-hour work week for weekly - and occasionally monthly stretches - plenty of times in my past 10+ years as a developer.

I don't recommend it to others, but I do enjoy it and the fruits thereof (creative, moreso than monetary). I also maintain an active social life and a healthy long-term relationship. Both of which are born of a solid understanding of my strange schedule from those close to me.

I also work from home 90% of the time, which makes it far more manageable. I wouldn't want to attempt my schedule with a commute involved, but I don't doubt it's possible for others.
Ruby also gets it wrong in several common cases. The IO libraries throw exceptions on expected events, for instance, and there are a couple of places where I flat-out disagree with the Exception class hierarchy.
Try/catch may be an anti-pattern in a dynamically-typed language, but not in a static-typed language. In static languages they're important and valid because they help avoid the "returned a null what?" question.
Well, I agree with inconsistency in microsoft technology stack. But heck, it's PHP! PHP is evolving even more, it had only recent futures like namespaces, simple things like a()[0]. But that's not the main problem. The main problem is clean API. PHP has just a ton of inconsistent functions that you must hold in your head. From this point of view C# is one of really small number of languages that has really clean API.

Maybe I just can't understand something, but even sitting on linux for last 6 years and seeing all the great technologies I find C# really great and clean language.
I've had the opportunity to work with Icinga during my internship last year.

Nagios development has stagnated somewhat but Icinga is thriving. It is 100% compatible with all Nagios plugins and most of the configuration tools.
Most notably, NConf works very well with Icinga.

They reworked the old Nagios interface and offer entirely new web and mobile interfaces. I must say it's a pleasure to use.

NFL: Titans restricted Newton for a big win
Tennessee Titans defeated Carolina Panthers in week 10 game on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium. Titans’ defense didn’t give a chance to Panthers rookie quarterback Cam Newton to score a touchdown in the entire game. The Titans defense confused Newton by covering all his major targets.
Submitting an essay for others to judge, and then altering it after receiving criticism is not quite doing it right. Mistakes are okay, covering them up is not however. In my opinion a better way to deal with the issue is to cover the bad joke with strikethrough formatting, followed by rationale for doing so.

This is like saying that walking is faster then driving because I can walk 5 meters faster then it takes me to get into a car. Yes, error codes are more compact in a tiny "Hello world" example because it is only showing one function call. Exception handling becomes more compact when you're writing something less trivial and you don't have to repeat the same error handling code after every call.

> Try/catch is goto wrapped in pretty braces. There's no way to continue where you left off, once the error is handled.

Don't throw exceptions if you can handle the error and continue where you left off. Exceptions is for when you can't continue. Think of throwing as a way to roll back transaction, stop whatever you were trying to do, and go back to the last consistent state.

Obviously, exceptions are not perfect. As author correctly notes, they require careful consideration of what's exception and what's part of normal flow. But they were invented for a reason, and I don't see the article offering any alternative solutions to the problems that exceptions are solving now.

I remember having an excel class in high school as a required elective. Spreadsheets are important of course. It's amazing how many white collar office people still don't know the basics of it -- but how hard is it to fit in two weeks of simple scripting? I think kids learning even just the bare mechanics of programming could be better off
When I needed an open source monitoring solution some time ago I eventually went with Zenoss. Nagios felt a bit clunky. Zenoss had a (IMO) better structured web interface and also more options for log-filtering/monitoring. Also it's based on Python so easier for me to extend.

The only drawback of Zenoss is that it is a bit of a memory hog, which eventually became a problem as it was running on a cheap VPS...

Icanga does sound promising, as it looks like it redesigned Nagios from a bag of old perl scripts to a better-integrated solution.

They probably think they need the flashy production style to attract mainstream viewers, and in the US, perhaps that's true.

But I was similarly annoyed with Brian Cox's Wonders of the Solar System, which is beautifully designed and calmly edited, but comes across as really fluffy thanks to the lack of scientific detail and the gushing, ultrapositive personality of Cox, who describes everything as "brilliant" and "mindboggling". I like Cox, but he's a bit over the top.

That being said, I'd like to quote these passages from the official Java tutorial:

"Generally speaking, do not throw a RuntimeException or create a subclass of RuntimeException simply because you don't want to be bothered with specifying the exceptions your methods can throw.

Here's the bottom line guideline: If a client can reasonably be expected to recover from an exception, make it a checked exception. If a client cannot do anything to recover from the exception, make it an unchecked exception."

Anyway... you don't need to neccessarily handle exceptions even if they are checked (in cases where it doesn't make sense that your code handles them). Add a 'throws' clause and let the calling code handle them.

So the poster of the grandparent comment really got it wrong when it comes to Java and exceptions.

I've been interested in precisely this same question. I don't know that there are any books that cover that. If there are, I'd also be interested in reading them. As far as visually modeling a creative process, mindmaps or concept maps are the closest. Tony Buzan has written a number of books on Mindmapping.

If you have an Android or iOS device, there are many apps for mindmapping and concept mapping available but I don't know if they are comprehensive in the way that you are looking for, especially for backtracking and annotating failures and routes to avoid. Also, many desktop diagramming software, like ConceptDraw, have templates for mind/concept mapping. Microsoft Visio is a possibility too, although it is more expensive.

I'd say it doesn't cost you anything to learn to code,

Being a manager and accutely aware of legal ramifications of hours worked (boring I know), does anyone have any insight into whether there is something in the US akin to the European Worktime Directive?
Over here (UK, but the E.U as a whole) the average working week is 40 hours by law, and the worker must opt in to be eligble to work upto a maximum of 70 hours per week.
As well as this 70 hour maximum, 11 hours must be taken between end of work one day and start of work the next, and an entire 24 hour period of non-work must be taken once every 7 days, or alternativley a period of 48 hours of non-work must be taken in a 14 day period.

There are decimal dots missing in the confusion matrix numbers (i.e., 190440 should read 19044.0, in case anyone else was wondering why the numbers don't add up).

If anything, the article convinced me not to use Mahout. So, the author decided to use the simplest algorithm, Naive Bayes, and got miserable results (from the article: "This is possibly due to a bug in Mahout that the community is still investigating."). He then changed to problem formulation in order to get better results, and concluded by saying the outcome is still likely a bug, but he's happy with it anyway?

This would be probably fine if we were talking about a small, nimble project that you could go into and hack/fix yourself. But we're talking about a massive, Java codebase. The thought of customizing it makes me shudder.

EDIT: forgot to mention I agree with the parent comment completely, except I would add "... and choosing the right evaluation process" to the initial sentence.
As a pedantic observation, it is far more likely you observed the normal Linux boot-up process, which sometimes hangs due to a sub-process waiting on a network event or fsck.
