Lawrence Lessig: "We are the 99.95%" [video]
The ML class is not worthless. It's not sufficient, but it's definitely not worthless. I've found it to be a great survey of the field.

I think the closest you will get is Merlin Mann. Check out the early episodes of his Back To Work podcast on 5by5. A lot of the stuff he says is almost koan-like in the way he tries to get around the limitations and inevitable masturbation of talking or writing about "productivity".

But like you say, you have to figure it out for yourself. I don't think it's incredibly difficult, but it does require deep and honest introspection. Once you have cleared yourself of any major mental blocks then you'll be ready for the tips n tricks.

James, great work and thanks for effort to make it even better.

Now for all people that cry about cross browser difference, you ought to put you energy at criticizing developers that create browsers that are not compatible with w3c standards.

I for one do not want to see same boring scrollbars until I die. Let's be realistic, browser scrollbars haven't changed in the past 20 years (except the option to change colors and that was wow back in the day). It's about time that they do.

Oh and, IE should be banned forever :)
If you ever have the pleasure to meet Ton Roosendaal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton_Roosendaal), the "benevolent dictator" running the Blender Foundation, you'll see where the drive to do all these well-organized, thought-through things comes from.

Ton is fantastic at making things happen, from setting up a movie project to coding in Blender (which he still does very much of) to organizing the three-day Blender Conference that every year lets a couple hundred Blender users and developers meet up in wonderful Amsterdam.

On top of that, he's a really nice guy!

What's wrong with XMPP multi-user chat? And I don't understand your argument of "incompletely-routed", especially if compared to IRC. imho XMPP federation is much more powerful concept than IRC networking.
Sorry misread the original post.

Before a code review you don't have to do a sync but its pretty common to sync frequently. I sync constantly as im developing because it's so easy. Occasionally i see reviews where i can tell that the person hasn't sync'd in a while and if i think it matters ill ask them to sync. This usually doesn't happen though
Er... "just graduated" and "Senior Developer with 8 years experience" are different tiers.

> they'll say "Wtf, stop wasting your time with perl. It's a DEAD LANGUAGE, WAKE UP". This kind of posts should just get deleted and the user warned and then banned from HN imo.

It would be good if something could be done. Nearly every Perl post here that gets some traction will often have this problem [1]. And sadly in most cases this engulfs the topic being posted :(

[1] And often its the same few people causing the problem.
So in summary, their system highlights the files that had 'a lot of bugs lately'. While useful, this is more of a trend analysis and extrapolation rather than actual prediction. The title made me hope of something that would highlight some potential bug nests from static code analysis or the like. Interseting, but a little disappointing.
I agree, this is the aspect which makes this joke app more appealing in some ways than the real ones. The lack of constraints, the ability to rate anything, could be quite empowering for users and allow them to shape the service to suit them. In the same way that Twitter now has @links and #tags as a real feature but originally it was just text. This is paving the cowpaths and seems like a really strong way to build something as hard to nail down as a social network.

That's what I assumed myself initially, so I spun up an AWS micro instance in their Singapore data center. But then I found that the ping times were almost twice that for instances in the US west coast, because some Australia ISPs (including mine which is Optus) route traffic to Singapore or Japan via the US west coast since it's cheaper than going through Perth. So although Singapore is closer to Australia than the US as the crow flies, it's not necessarily closer on the internet.

From a user point of view Microsoft butchered Messenger a long time ago. That's why Facebook killed it very easily.

First the official client (which I never stoud btw) became shittier with each release. Then they made that (very very) bad Facebook copy and forced users to display their real name instead of nicknames.

Moreover Messenger suffers from protocol version fragmentation. Features in alternative clients are random. Some people see nicknames, others real names, some are unaware that their real name is displayed. Sometimes you get old avatars, sometimes new ones, sometimes you don't even know that your avatar does not work. Same for offline messaging, and multi-connection.

And sadly Pidgin MSN's implementation SUCKS and it was a bad day when their survey indicated that people wanted up-to-date support and they just dismissed it.

The ‘Daddy’ Search Roundup of 2011
Sorry, but I found http://lunduke-sdk.com/index.php?title=The_Lunduke_Language disappointing. It's pretty much Integer BASIC plus subroutine parameters, with about thirty years of programming language innovation waiting to be recapitulated. Say I wanted to write an RSS reader that sorts items by date and/or title. How would I store a collection of feeds, each of which is a collection of items, when the only data structure is a map of key/value strings? How would I write a sort that uses a comparator parameter to learn what order two items should appear in? If the list is huge, how do I re-sort gradually without freezing the UI? If some feeds are RSS and others scrape Twitter or something, how do I dispatch to whichever implementation of getMoreMessages is appropriate for each feed? I can't remember the last time I had to write an entire application without being able to do all of these things and more (reflection? plugins? mocks for testing?) nearly effortlessly, and I doubt many people will be willing to do without them.

As someone deeply concerned with real-world operation of systems, I find your removal of the "claim" distressing.

It is true that developers routinely create very poorly thought out protocols that have massive overhead, but it is far from good practice, and anyone who tries to foist such a disaster on me for any reason other than business-critical interoperability will be SOL. I simply will not deploy it, they will have to go back and create something that is at least moderately sane.

XMPP does retain massive overhead, in excess of 50% even before considering the XML bloat (I'm just referring to redundant or otherwise unnecessary messages here), and that's the main reason I have refused to use it in my projects.

As randomdata pointed out, I think this goes more to proving my point than yours. They did a lot of work to get to that point. Contrast that with "Tiny Wings" that showed up and started making a huge amount of money.

I'll grant you that it's more effort today than it was with an App, but an App platform provides an easier method of discovery [1], an easy method for billing and even an advertising platform. With the web this is all on you and the web is more ad focused so you're probably more likely to be competing with free.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman:

"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you've not fooled yourself, it's easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way after that."

We've learned from experience that the truth will come out. Other experimenters will repeat your experiment and find out whether you were wrong or right. Nature's phenomena will agree or they'll disagree with your theory. And, although you may gain some temporary fame and excitement, you will not gain a good reputation as a scientist if you haven't tried to be very careful in this kind of work. And it's this type of integrity, this kind of care not to fool yourself, that is missing to a large extent in much of the research in cargo cult science.

>despite minor differences per browser vendor

Minor? Keep in mind, it's not just per browser vendor. It's per version, per browser vendor. This is handled better today with the score of libraries you have to add in any web project but the problem is still there and will likely get worse before it gets better.

>That is the huge advantage of the web.

What? Objective-C is a standard. Cocoa is a known entity. So already I have one language and one API compared to three languages. If I include Android then I have two languages and two APIs vs three completely different and unrelated languages.

>PHP is just one backend, which really could be replaced by anything else.

Unless you replace it with JavaScript, that's yet another language I need to write and maintain. Not to mention, after all this effort I still can't consistently (if at all) provide an interface as nice as I can with an App.

> Are you telling me native apps don't need server backends?

Some do, not all. But of the ones that do, much of what you would need to do is just handled by the framework (e.g. storing data in the cloud, syncing, game serving and coordination, all handled by IOS SDK with no backend work on my part).

His argument seems to be that MS ties into Facebook Chat, but not using XMPP federation (since that seems to be disabled on FB's side).

So - it's behind the scene. It's (by a stretch) comparable to IRC links, maybe.

The complain about group chat was, as far as I understand the GP, not about XMPP multi-user chat, but about the inability to _use_ that if you're not using real XMPP federation. In other words: How do you start a group chat from GTalk with your MS Messenger / Facebook friends? The technology would support it, but 'they still don't get it right'. I agree.
Your comment hints at the issue. It isn't measuring effort in vs money out, it's likelihood of reward for effort. At this stage it's clear that if you count options and even equity as zero you'll often be right.

If a startup hands me a picture of treasure in some place I can quickly get to (i.e. little investment on my part) and a shovel, I'll invest a couple of hours for the chance of getting rich. If they hand me a lottery ticket that they can void if it did happen to win, I'm not going to spend months or years slaving away for that.

The problem is that many governments, also in Europe, still see the USA as a shining example which to follow. Or are somehow bribed/manipulated into adopting similar laws (see also ACTA).

So if the USA falls to this low, I have little hope for the rest of the western world.

Edit: I don't understand the downvotes; the ACTA is a secretly discussed copyright treaty about to be signed in many countries, including those in the EU. We are not even allowed to know what is in it, it could be exactly in line with SOPA.

Hi. I'm Chris, the author of the blog post/work.

You're not wrong, although bug prediction is a very nebulous term in the academic literature which encompasses a pretty broad range of techniques. The term is used to properly ground the work in what's come before.

It's perhaps useful to talk a little bit about how I got where I ended up, which wasn't discussed much in the post for length reasons. I originally spent a lot of time trying to implement FixCache, a pretty complicated algorithm that looks at things such as spacial locality of bugs (bugs appear close to each other), temporal locality of bugs (bugs are introduced at the same time) and files that change together (bugs will cross cut these). It then puts it all in a LIFO cache and flags files that way. This most definitely fits in the "bug prediction" line of work, and a number of follow-up papers independently verified its success. but I was struggling deploying FixCache. This was largely because the open source code that had been written beforehand at the university lab [1] wasn't designed for MapReduce, and also because I was becoming worried that it was very difficult to understand how it flagged files, which could lead to the tool being written off as outputting false positives and then ignored.

About halfway through the internship, a pre-print of the Rahman et al. [2] paper was handed to me, which indicated that maybe everything FixCache was doing could be massively simplified and get largely the same result. We trialled both algorithms using user studies, and found that developers thought the output of the Rahman algorithm better matched their intuition as to where the hotspots in their code base was, so we went with that.

So, after this very roundabout discussion, we reach the question of "If Rahman is a subset of the FixCache algorithm, and FixCache is a bug prediction algorithm, is Rahman a bug prediction algorithm, too?" and I'll leave that for others to judge, but that's why it's been described as so :)

I the comment you're referring to on the article by "Christian" misread the stated numbers, specifically, it seems he ignored/misread the "in about 1ns" part, and then implies "1 billion reads/writes and switches total."

Article:
> The cell has demonstrated an endurance of more than 1 billion reads/writes and switches in about 1ns.

Christian:
> With a switching time of 1ns, you could do those 1 billion writes in 1 second flat.

What the the article is saying is that the device can endure more than 1 billion reads/writes and switches "within" 1ns. You could even say "per" 1ns if that reads better to you. What the device can endure within 1 full second is not stated, but may be extrapolated from the stated 1ns numbers.
A step in the right direction IMO.

Now, I hope the other protocols I use such as Skype, Steam (And I guess Origin too) would follow suit. I would love to know when my friends are playing games, without having to be tied to either wine, virtualbox, or my gaming PC or yet another client.
> What's wrong with XMPP multi-user chat?

I was speaking more generally than XMPP. I don't know the fundamental causes, but I haven't seen group/multi-user chat work reliably in years -- I think the last time I did, everybody was on ICQ using official clients.

The problems I have encountered are:

1) Group chats just don't start.

2) Not everyone can see/"hear" everyone else.

3) Rarely, #2 starting and stopping randomly for people.

I've seen these behaviors on chats with as few as 3 people, up to 8ish (don't think I've ever gone higher than that).

I doubt the protocols are fundamentally broken in this regard, I assume I'm encountering implementation bugs, but they seem to be pervasive.

> And I don't understand your argument of "incompletely-routed", especially if compared to IRC.

"incompletely-routed" may not be a good phrase to use here, least of all because not many people "get" IRC anymore.

IRC networks eventually stabilized into a model whereby there was network-wide coordination of routing. Every server on a network can talk to every other server, and there is no leakage outside of the network. You know what you're getting when you connect to one of the major networks. With IM, links may be established between A and B, and B and C, but not A and C.

> imho XMPP federation is much more powerful concept than IRC networking.

I would absolutely agree in so far as the intent of XMPP federation goes. In practice, there are two problems:

1) Some IM providers intentionally cripple it (e.g. Facebook).

2) Not all IM providers use XMPP in the first place. Even some of the ones that make available a limited XMPP interface don't actually base their services off of it (Facebook, Microsoft).

It's important to realize that IM is not the same as XMPP, so when I say "IM", I mean "IM", not the XMPP subclass. :)

Definitely true. Candidates can often use archive.org to evaluate how long a position has been listed. If it's more than a few months, it's most likely not a real position.

Depends. EU will never adopt any of the mad laws they have in the USA, e.g. abolishing nationalised health care, bringing in 'at will' employment, weakening anti-discrimination law.

In the area of copyright, EU isn't fully copying USA.
Great point. I have been a prime subscriber since my freshman year of college. They offered anyone with .edu email address a free year, and I bit. When my year ran out, they offered me a second year at half price. Now I probably spend at least $100 on Amazon a month on various things - and free 2 day shipping makes it even more attractive.
First off - most people in any entertainment industry - music , books , comedy etc. are not making megabucks. Most of them earn somewhere between an ok wage and a pretty rubbish one.

However there are plenty of people experimenting like Louie C K is up and down the spectrum. I buy lots of stuff from people who are doing their own thing. To pick some random smaller examples - http://www.dgmlive.com - King Crimson and Robert Fripp, Matt Stevens http://www.mattstevensguitar.com and Richard Skelton http://www.sustain-release.co.uk/

Do they make megabucks? of course not but they are making a living.

The question actually is - are they getting more return for their work than if they used more traditional channels and I think all would argue that they are.

Not only is this approach sustainable - it's going to become essential for all but the most mainstream. Louie CK and Radio head possibly suggest that even the more mainstream will do better doing it on their own terms.
