Yes, because you can be swamped in false positives so much that it's easier on time, money and nerves to just not use the tool.
And this is a general problem in static source code analysis, not just the "bad tools".

I had this awesome example in one book about metrics where the static analysis on some 100k LOC project produced output with the same line length as "War and Peace". Good luck sifting through those.

But I'm absolutely not saying you shouldn't use them, but as some commenters in the original post pointed out, you need to check if they produce sensible output for your project or if they can catch some really nasty bugs, if it's worth the additional work.

Why isn't cin implemented on top of C's stdin and FILE? That way you get both buffering and compatibility.

On #1, I'd guess one factor is that the car isn't as big a part of teenage social life as it used to be. In much of the U.S., cars were central to high-school social life, with who had cars counting for a considerable amount of social status, and a lot of hanging-out activities (malls, movie theaters, arcades, etc.) requiring cars to get to. It's possible that also had advantageous effects for being able to get to jobs, but teenagers weren't mainly getting their licenses for those reasons. My read is that hanging out at the mall doesn't have the same role in high-school social life of the 2010s as it did in the 1980s.
I'm always surprised when blog authors are talking about a product and they don't include any links at all to that product.

I'm not asking for huge banners or marquee scrolling, just a plain simple text link on first mention.
How many people have you heard stealing 1,72,00,00,00,000 rupees? And how many have you heard stealing 10,000 rupees?
My point was that we get worked up for one time theft of XXXX rupees, whereas we consider thousands of class C government employees demanding anywhere from 1000 to 10,000 rupees from hundreds of people everyday as passable.

Also, why should I not blame middle class Indians for what they are (not) doing? The middle class in India is a huge section of people. If you want something you should be prepared to risk everything and fight for it. If you are not willing to risk it, then you deserve what you get. Imagine the benefits we can reap in future if we are willing to duke it out now.

Also, this risk averse attitude is the reason why we were ruled by the British for 200 years. Only once people started risking everything they had did we get the Independence we deserved. Why should fighting inept politicians who are ruining my country be any different from fighting a foreign aggresor?
Please expand considerably on this point if you want anyone to understand what you mean rather than giving you the benefit of the doubt.

I do not have yummyfajitas' experience, teaching at (minimally) a top 50 US university, I've only taught high school students whose parents are paying lots for them to be there. They mostly don't care. Teaching primary school sometimes leaves me exhausted but never demoralised, middle school is occasionally like watching the capacity to care drain out of you permanently.

Anyone who does a Ph.D. for any reason other than a genuine love of research and a desire to become a professor is mad. There are fields where it's better or worse but none where a real doctorate[0] is the best way to get what you want except academia.

If you like teaching getting a good Master's degree and some highschool teaching experience before teaching at an expensive prepschool would probably be more rewarding than teaching at most state universities.

That the life of the mind and teaching the callow youth are currently bundled goods is a historical accident I devoutly hope to see ended within two decades; I'd love to see it happen sooner.

Well the Marwadis and Gujaratis have been traders and businessmen since ancient times. It's kind of like the son of a farmer being a farmer himself. How many daily wage labourers have started their own businesses? Or for that matter, how many IT MNC employees have?

I do not know if there is a bigger proportion of Chinese/Russian/Egyptian businessmen, but I do know that the amount of social stigma attached to leaving a well paying job to do a startup is significantly higher in India than in most other countries.
That sounds like a solid plan, and I have tried it in the past but I always get stuck on the problem that I am too smart (or too stupid) to trick myself.

Or, and this may be worse, I look at the problem and say 'yes this would be nice, I like to be financially independent' and then take a look at what it would take to get there and then say 'but honestly the reward is not worth the effort'.
The way the system is set up, all airports are only as secure as the least secure airport. Once you go through security, you can fly around the country from one airport to another without going through again. Thus, if the tools were effective but you somehow made an exception for small airports, you just invite terrorists to use those small airports for sneaking their weapons through, which can then be used on bigger, more visible flights later.

I think these machines are a waste of money and the threat of terrorism vastly overblown in general, but if you make the assumption that the machines are desirable and useful, you can't make an exception for small airports.
Actually, it turns out that it's neither heinous nor poisonous. You seem to be having an allergic reaction to the contrast between advice about how the actual world functions and how actual productive people function in it, and the flowery advice given in the article.

Basically, each of the 5 points I listed comes down to, "Momma said there'd be days like this, days like this Momma said!"

I guess, at this point, I'd be curious about what, in particular you found "heinous", "poisonous", "horrid", or likely to lead to one becoming a "burnt out husk of a human being" before the remarkably specific age of 40. However, I suspect that you'll find you've imported a bit of your own baggage into your explication.

A Kotlin Journey Part II: A premier on classes
On the trivia-questions angle, I do think developers who've been working with a particular set of technology for a while tend to highly value deep knowledge of the particulars of that technology, and under-estimate the competence of someone who doesn't come from exactly the same background. It's not so much that they feel the detail is important, but that it becomes a heuristic of, if you don't know X and call yourself a Y-programmer, you must be incompetent or faking. Which is a tough call to make with all these permutations of experience people could have, and excludes anyone whose technology/stack experience is even slightly different.

The traditional example is interviews for C coding jobs, where when developers interview, they gravitate towards standards-lawyering type interview questions. That at least has the advantage of being a fairly stable community, though; being a "C coder" has a certain set of cultural assumptions, and it might even be true that if you don't know certain trivia questions, it's a reliable litmus test for whether you're "really" a C specialist.
Why is hiring a problem?
Well, I mean, obviously. Not that it's passable, but do you want to spend energy bringing every pickpocket to justice or do you want to spend energy bringing justice to ONE man who scammed the country out of as much money as HALF IT'S POPULATION makes in a YEAR?

I mean, prioritize.
The sad, beautiful fact that we're all going to miss almost everything
I totally disagree, but I think you highlighted some wonderfully bullshit excuses for why it doesn't matter that our schools are failing to train kids in Reading, Writing, Rhetoric, and Arithmetic - skills which will never go out of fashion.

I can't stand either side in this debate over what attitudes students should be taught. One camp says "students need to learn how to be creative, independent, caring, and improve their self-esteem". The other camp says "harden the fuck up, and get ready for the real world". Neither side can justify 12 years of school. In either case, kids can be conditioned in about 3 months (the time it takes to go through army boot camp). 3 months afterwards, they'll have adjusted to whatever environment they found themselves in after graduating.
The fragmentation is definitely an issue for game development on Android, but there are ways to avoid most of the pitfalls, if you plan accordingly. In the end, there's always the manifest file, so you don't appear on the market for devices which you deem are not worth the time to optimize for. Chris Pruett had a nice talk about various ways to go about it in Google I/O last year[1].

While fragmentation is to be expected because of the nature of Android, the revenue issue is one that is completely on Google, and by far the bigger issue. Ease of paying, ways of paying, ways of promoting your app (namely gifting), all of these things are just poor on the platform, and that's why the taste is bitter in the end. Fragmentation is something that developers can work around, while people having no way to pay for apps is completely out of developer's hands.

(Not to mention the amount of markets where you can only publish free apps.)

End of rant.

Jane McGonigal: How games make us resilient
Can you expand on this? Because I would find it impossible to separate German politics from culture/values, and I think many, many Anglophones would find the Deutschsprachige love of orderliness maddening; easily 30% even in a country like Denmark where practically everyone who is capable of working speaks nigh on flawless English. I realise the Danes aren't German but they're more ordentlich than the Dutch and it's that that would piss so many off, so fast.

In my travels, I have found that "culture fit" is usually a euphemism for "we don't hire people that look different from us" . Now, before you think I'm accusing you of racism, I have found this to also include age, sex etc. So yeah, I call BS on the whole "culture fit" business
I get it from blog mikamobile.blogspot.com to reach mikamobile.com. Zombieville by them is also popular in iOS. They use a 3D Unity engine to built their 2D games.
Yet it obvious is. The single other platform that they support, to my knowledge, is iOS.
Was waiting for this one :-)
I didn't know either, I'm actually not sure if 16 is officially supported, since Apple said my Macbook was only capable of 8. Crucial has a tool you can download to check compatibility with their various products and your specific macbook model.
Why? As the only alternative IOS is relevant on each discussion of Android and vice versa.
removing flash would be better, but right now it's not an option. mobile web is very very new and it was built without flash, the desktop version is not so much. not even google can fully and immediately drop flash
Chinese are also massively risk-adverse (despite having a massive respect for businessmen). The only Chinese who start businesses are those who have the luxury of being able to afford to take risks (rich parents), and those who can't afford not to.
These are certainly the first days of social networking, the law and social conventions still have a lot of catching up to do.

On a different note, I find it quite ironic that Facebook forbids children under 13 from opening accounts, while encouraging behavior ("I like this!") most suitable for their age spectrum.
I think the most notable part of this story is the...notability....of it. There are literally tens of thousands of developers on the Android market -- including many long time denizens -- but one (purportedly) quits and it gets spread far and wide: I've now seen this linked on a number of blogs, news sites, and social news lists.

Why? I would argue that it speaks to an audience's bias.

I think the most interesting thing about this company is that their games are, by most respects, quite successful on the Android market. A $3.00 game selling more than 50,000 copies. Another selling 100,000+. Another selling 100,000+. Perhaps they got all of their sales during a sale, but their base metrics seem quite good.

I can't speak to their situation or frustration, but will make a couple of remarks for prospective Android devs-

a) Cut out the crap: Don't desperately try to reach 100% of the Android base because that just sets you up for a world of pain, which I suspect is their core issue. Cut out low-end handsets, with the basest filter being Gingerbread+ at this point.

b) There are actually only a handful of GPUs in use across all of the different devices (Adreno, PowerVR, Tegra2/3, Mali). Understand the GPUs, not the handsets.

c) If you can't handle the work, which apparently this company couldn't, subcontract. They apparently had a successful product but they couldn't tolerate the work involved. I guarantee that if they offered it out for profit sharing to a contractor they would have many well-rated prospects.
Using gets() also makes writing exploits much quicker - win-win! ;-)

Sorry, I couldn't resist - you are of course right with the general stdio over std::iostream thing, though. I've also found that memory usage and executable size explode when using streams - though that's not C++'s fault per se, more a stdlib/compiler problem.
If you choose "haven't use a dating site" then the question "If so, which?" has no valid answer. Leaving it blank results in a complaint. I suggest adding a "N/A" option. :)
One of the main reasons i haven't really gotten into Android development is i really don't know what i am targeting.

I think if there was some sort of standardised tier system for categorizing hardware capabilities (e.g. tier 1 = basic, tier 2 = supports 3d, tier 3 = quad core powerhouse), it would help immensely.
Has anyone written or thought deeply about all the ways that self-driving cars could be tricked or hacked into causing accidents, kidnapping passengers, driving off cliffs, running people over, or otherwise creating havoc?

There seems to be a market for some kind of game framework for Android. Game developers shouldn't have to spend effort on specializing in Android hardware support.

"We spent about 20% of our total man-hours last year dealing with Android in one way or another - porting, platform specific bug fixes, customer service, etc. I would have preferred spending that time on more content for you, but instead I was thanklessly modifying shaders and texture formats to work on different GPUs, or pushing out patches to support new devices without crashing, or walking someone through how to fix an installation that wouldn't go through. We spent thousands on various test hardware."

I think we could get an economy of scale if someone who enjoyed this kind of work would supply a useful platform for game devs.
While the article is a bit lacking, in my own observations traveling extensively around the globe, I encountered very few Americans, considering their population numbers, wealth, etc. I realise the article is more about interstate travel for work, etc, however it always just really surprised me about how few young American kids were out there bumming it around the world with backpacks on. I met more Israelis out there than North Americans, and they have a population of what, 6 million? Or Australians? Those guys are everywhere.

There's a big difference between searching for a certain content or information, and searching for a certain product. This difference has hardly been addressed yet by the current players in the field.

While searching for contents fits the medicine cupboard analogy, searching for a product is similar to visiting a shop, and browsing stuff till you find something worth buying; you don't know what you're looking for, and a vast array of things might provide the right answer.

The difference between these two searches seems to be a major reason for the current frustration with search engines.
Ask HN: Why can I not customise Google results by a most read functionality?
For some general queries, for example Generation Y, it might be hard to sift through the results to find something I want to read as most articles are just keyword matches.<p>Perhaps for some queries the PR rank of a page is less important or less useful than how many people have read it. Do you know if Google has the technology to ascertain how many people read an article and if so, wouldn't allowing users to customise results by most read be beneficial?
If this were slashdot, I could say that it's already happened ;)
How on earth did they think this was okay? These days that might actually be the same as asking someone for their diary.

Or at least if they judged you from what was written in your blog or something like that.
That is far too kind to the homeopathics, who are also licensed doctors. In particular, they:

1) Will often charge more than licensed doctors who don't do homeopathy.

2) Advise people not to go to their regular doctors.

See the many homeopathics who claim they can cure cancer or HIV.

Now, I'm not sure how many homeopathics are just very misguided, and how many are outright charlatans, but they are certainly not just helping.
Very cool, thanks for organising this.
Will try to be there.

You no longer had to keep stacks of that magazine around in the bathroom? You know... for the articles?
Real programmers don't waste time making swooping generalizations about other programmers.
I enjoyed how on every paragraph you switched between the genders of the subject. Nice touch.
You make interesting points here. What are we supposed to generalize from this dev's experience? That Android is doomed?

It does say something about what some mobile devs have come to expect from a development experience. While IOS is never mentioned once in the post, the comparison is implied in every paragraph. While this is far from damning for Android, it's worth keeping in mind as competition for developer mindshare escalates.
That makes a lot of sense. Maybe I'm oversimplifying but if Windows is to Mac OS what Android is to iOS, then Android needs its DirectX to make game development easier.
> It's hard to balance the ability to create new, more useful utility functions with prevention of creating a utility function at odds with what the original entity valued.

I think that for such an AI, the concept of a "more useful utility function" would be a nonsense. The AI's definition of 'useful' is the utility function. No other utility function can ever rate higher against the current utility function than the current utility function does.
Variable pricing causes MLB ticket revenues to climb
Not my insight, but one of the more informative comments I saw in the article Slashdot linked to on this topic (http://www.electronista.com/articles/12/03/10/mika.mobile.sa...):

I completely support your decision to drop Android like a hot potato.

In the two weeks since starting as a senior graphics engineer at a middleware company who shall remain nameless, I have learned from coworkers about, or personally experienced:

- Drivers that crash if you try to actually use all of the texture formats they claim to support
- Drivers that crash if you try to actually use certain ARBs that they report as supported
- Drivers that report supporting 128 shader uniforms but crash if you try to access anything past the first 64
- Drivers that report supporting various OpenGL ARBs but actually have a software path

in fact, I don't believe there has been a single Android device that has come out so far that is actually point-for-point compliant with the requirements for OpenGL ES 2.0, yet they have no problems claiming to support it nowadays.

GPU support on Android is utterly atrocious, and I've managed to learn this in all of two weeks at my new job.

As someone that's on the verge of porting some 3D code to OpenGL ES 2.0, this is awfully depressing. :(
At one point, 64kb was useful for something. There is an infinite number of uses for 64kb. Its only the decision being made that its not useful any more that makes it so - the users change, not the computers.

I still break out my 8-bit machines now and then for some fun, localized, minimal computing. Its amazing how much you can get done in a little bit of RAM, but the 'amazing' is just the result of an arbitrary decision, nothing more.
It's important to remember that rights are meaningless if they are not exercised and defended, and that often means uncomfortable placement of walls. Not every case will be as media-friendly as a 12 year old girl posting to Facebook that someone was mean to her. The Miranda decision that established the right to be told your rights when under arrest -- the right to remain silent and so forth -- well, Ernesto Miranda was found guilty of kidnapping and rape in the second trial. Not a great person.
