Oh, wow. You are the false equivalency master.

The problem here is not that the bot is annoying, the problem is that the bot is sexist. Responding to sexist remarks with something that signifies that those remarks are sexist is not the same as making sexist remarks. Whether or not those two bots are annoying is a different issue that is now used as an excuse to rationalize hating on the second bot.

How can you be so blind to that? I’m sitting here in disbelief.
I'm just sorry that two years after I was hired, we still have basically the same problems, as evidenced by your comments. It's partially the nature of MediaWiki to be impervious to usability enhancement, but we also made some poor choices in how we attacked the problem. I have to take some of the blame myself there.
That's probably so you can call phone numbers for businesses from inside Google Maps, without having to ask for permission at that point each time. I doubt it means it can call on its own.

But even so, I agree that the permission system is so generic and creepy, and sometimes you freak out when you see some (probably harmless) permissions, because you don't really know what to expect, and you don't know what kind of power Google has given to developers through these permissions.

A popular Russian CRM (1С) has a scripting language where the code looks like:

СпрСотр = СоздатьОбъект("Справочник.Сотрудники");
СпрСотр.Новый();
СпрСотр.Наименование = ФИО;
СпрСотр.Должность = Должность;
СпрСотр.Оклад = Оклад;
СпрСотр.ДатаПриема = ДатаПриема;
СпрСотр.Записать();

It's not surprising they were not able to expand to the Europe market.
What we have to think about here is that this guy, and probably anyone reading this blog (myself included), is a nerd. The average consumer doesn't give a f* about Ice Cream Sandwich. If their phone does what it needs to do on a daily basis they are happy. It has the same features as it did when they bought it and new apps come out every day. It's not much different with Apple, aside from a few minor features, updates are merely bug fixes. As for us nerds, the internet is crawling with custom roms and custom updates that allow us to fiddle to our heart's content. So no, I don't think Android has much to worry about.

Afaik, the way permissions work on Android is that each application is its own user, and each permission is a group. If you have a rooted device, you can simply log in and remove the user from the group to un-grant that permission.

I doubt it will help you though, because it will most likely cause some function somewhere to throw an exception which will in turn cause the app to crash.
This looks really great.

The whole joy of something not working and you sitting in front of the system for hours at length to get it working is something i truly miss.

I certainly don't. Are you sure this isn't just rosy retrospection?[1]

There's a reason why apt and yum exist today, and it's because most people want their primary OS to "just work". You only have to play this game once to get it. The second time the configure && make && make install doesn't change much, except for needing a flag here or a utility there.

I wonder if a lot more people would be using nixes on PCs today if something like a current Linux distro existed ten years ago and worked as well with the varying hardware in common PC laptops/desktops.

I think it's a little odd how he chose to pile all those startups together.

For example, I think path is a much different animal than the others, and while I agree with his overall point (there are some ridiculous valuations going around), it's more of an angry rant than a critique of the apps themselves.
Wow, neat.

What's your day job?
Lots of good comments above, but here's a concrete example.

It can be a lot faster and accurate searching the source code for an answer than googling it. My most recent example: the .NET WebClient throws an exception ("ProtocolError") if it receives an HTTP 304 ("Not Modified") response. This makes no sense, but is it a bug? Did I use the client correctly? Or is it by design - i.e. a vexing exception (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericlippert/archive/2008/09/10/vexin...).

If you google for the answer you get a bunch of other confused people and a bunch of different advice, none of which is appealing. If you look at the source code you can quickly answer the question: yes, they really did design things in this brain dead way, and now my caching layer - which is supposed to be fast - is going to have to handle an exception every single cache hit. (When you're issuing over a million requests per day and you're paying for CPU time by the hour this design decision actually has a cost since exception handling is slow.)

Yes that's what it's probably for, I've found this discussion:
http://www.wirelessforums.org/uk-telecom-mobile/latest-googl...

Though others claim that for calling it launches the phone app, and doesn't call out itself...

Anyway -- it is just a pretty harmless example. Some games are much worse. I don't have time to research or decompile all interesting apps to see what they are doing with a certain permission.

I never call from my map, so don't want to grant it. It may also use the permission for calling premium/foreign numbers behind my back and cramming my cellphone bill. I don't like the "Accept it all or leave" approach.
I don't know. There are many good observations about what happened to Rails the last years in the comments. Rails is complicated and to get fluent in Rails takes some time. But this complexity came with a great flexibility. And that's a sign that we are facing a phenomenal ecosystem. I admit starting rails is frustrating, so many new concepts but everything like rvm has a reason why and even beginners will realize this quickly.

Yehuda's approach reminds me of the early days of webdevelopment where you could install a WAMP stack with one click on your windows systems. I never liked those one-click-installers—you don't know what happens to your system and deinstalling was a nightmare with still running db servers somewhere for years.

You can't wipe away Rails complicated entry with such an one click-installer. After you installed Rails with one click things aren't getting easier your still have to figure out next steps and which frameworks to choose (i.e. ERB or HAML, SCSS or LESS, MySQL or Postgre, etc.). Or something breaks within rvm: with an yehuda's approach you are completely clueless because you don't know anything about rvm, gemsets because the installer did all the work for you.

Sometimes there is even too much magic in Rails. I am still wondering if ActiveRecord is too much abstraction and if there are better more direct ORMs like DataMapper, I am used to ActiveRecord but still I can not fluently create data models, there's always something I forget, using the plural or singular, saving the updated migration, rolling back the migration, etc. Otherwise it's far beyond any ORM from other Frameworks I have ever seen in terms of speed. And its usage in Ruby is very consistent. Also Rails shell commands are very consistent, once you understand the rails syntax (like rails generate or destroy something you can quickly build anything in minutes), I tried several times to find something similar with python/django but there the entries seemed to me even more complicated, don't follow any system and felt restricted, i.e. Django's automatic Backend (no offense, i know not enough about django and python to say anything serious but that was just my first impression).

Another last great example of Rails: once you managed to install Rails, just put haml, less, less-bootstrap-rails and simple_form in your gemfile and run bundle. with this setup you can build web apps in minutes with perfect design and they are fully customizable. some years ago you needed hours or days to get to similar results. It takes time to get there but once you are there you have the power.

this pace and variety in the rails ecosystem comes from so many talented people who contribute. trying to set one standard for how things are done would slow down this pace.

finally, I think that Yehuda doesn't want to raise money, he just wants to get attention and the approval that he had the right idea.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something. I'm truly not trying to be a grammar nazi, but is there a reason the OP doesn't use caps when referring to himself as "I"? It made that whole article difficult to read seeing it over and over.
You're right, it's more of a rant than I like. But I see it as more of a critique of the startup industry than specific apps.

Thanks.

I doubt it will help you though, because it will most likely cause some function somewhere to throw an exception which will in turn cause the app to crash.

That's why I blame the Android platform and not just the apps. If Android made it clear from the start that permissions are optional, and that requests for them can be rejected, applications would be written to cope with that. It would also force developers to explain why they need a certain permission.
ABCD Model for Building Thought Leadership
Oftentimes I find myself wondering what temperature it is outside and instinctively glancing at my watch...this seems like a great solution. I remember having a "Tricorder" program for my Palm Pilot but all it did was make Star Trek sounds, lol.

Sure, a smartphone add-on would be cool, but as the developer says, this device intended to be used by inquisitive children, not the kind of people who own smartphones.

I hope he can start producing these more efficiently soon; I wouldn't think twice before laying down a decent amount of money to have one of my own.
I still have the HTC Hero (EU). I put custom rom on it (currently VillainROM, I think) and it's still usable. And it's bulletproof, even more than most Nokias which would always chip in the corner if you dropped (had 3 different ones). I dropped it about 5-6 times and not a scratch (it does fall apart everytime, which is probably the reason it's undamaged).
Quoting from the original article:

I’ll point them towards Apple’s iOS and Microsoft’s Windows Phone instead. At least with these platforms, you’re guaranteed core OS updates and bugfixes for the length of your contract.

I think this just isn't true. Maybe WP is currently more homogeneous than Android but clearly MS is somewhat at the mercy of the carriers here too.

After working in a Linux/Open-source environment for several years and then switching to Microsoft a few years ago, I noticed that things seemed to be getting progressively more open and developer-friendly. I've wondered if it was just me being biased toward my current environment, but there has definitely been progress.

I think that Microsoft has finally realized that the best way to build and maintain a community of software professionals is to treat them like esteemed associates. It's too bad Haack left, but with Scott Hanselman evangelizing (he even came to my mid-sized midwest city a few weeks ago) and ScottGu running the show, things are looking bright for MS devs.

6 Tips to Build Strong Affiliates for Your Information Product | seoallrounder
> in light of China's 50-100 year vision for where they want to be, we are basically fucked. The chinese have been securing access to all major natural resources in Africa, as well as being the manufacturing hub for EVERYTHING - while the US government is squabbling over petty short term profit efforts and securing a diminishing resource (oil).)

Is it possible for island nations with no natural resources to be wealthy? Are you familiar with the historical and economic criticisms of Mercantilism? Are you aware that world proven oil reserves are at an all time high, and that the primary source of US oil and energy imports is Canada? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercantilism
I used Go to write a concurrent ZX Spectrum emulator (https://github.com/remogatto/gospeccy). The language perfectly fits for this kind of task too.
I would be very curious to know the history of this phenomenon (product naming, and in particular electronic product naming). It seems like Sony electronics in the 80's followed this pattern. It was always like the Trinitron DX-3095 and the DX-2085.

Cell phones also follow this throwaway name pattern. I guess there are brands like the RAZR and Droid, but the individual models have throwaway names.

Where do those numbers come from? Does some one just make up some nonsense? Sometimes they put the screen diagonal in there but I think more often than not they have no bearing on the product.

Is it because finding trademarks is hard? After all, Apple paid a ton of money for the iPhone trademark.

Was there a time, like back in the 50's, where companies used normal names for electronic products like stereos?

Software used to follow version numbers, like 1.0, 2.0, etc. But then Microsoft changed it to 95, 98, 2000, XP, etc. And then Apple changed it to Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, etc. Which I think are more friendly names. Ubuntu seemed to follow in Apple's lead with Hardy Haron and so forth.

I guess with software you have a linear sequence of products. With hardware, they seem to produce a lot of useless variants (except Apple), so you can't number them 1,2,3 / A,B,C.
Interesting. Which department/group are you doing this in? It doesn't seem like the type of PhD you'd usually do in CS.
Unfortunately no. In an interview with The Verge one of the developers said that they were open to the idea of moving to new platforms, but that their resources were too tight for the time being. Imagine this on a future version of the Galaxy Note. Perfect application for the increased fidelity of the Note stylus.
"You are saying that Agile is supposed to mean programming in Ruby instead of Java?"

Of course not. But in my experience and observations, corporate IT programmers, especially those with a Java background, are the worst offenders when it comes to abusing the Agile concept and failing to get the basics anywhere near right.

"And only small teams can be Agile? Amazon.com would disagree with you, for one."

I am not saying that, but I think it is a good question. I have never seen a team of hundreds coordinated to an outcome using an Agile approach. I have been involved in large projects with up to 300 people (think multiple, large teams of business analysts, developers, database designers, architects and testers and a little hierarchy of IT project management) work towards a single outcome using a highly managed, strict waterfall approach over several years. It wasn't pretty, but we got there in the end, and I would not swear on the Bible that we could have done the same using Agile.

If Amazon is really using an Agile approach to coordinate hundreds of people working on a single project, I would love to read about it.

Not having perfect information is not an excuse to ignore the information you have.

I don't know exactly how different the world would be if he donated $250,000 to, say, combating malaria instead of building a better Batmobile. But I would give at least 10:1 odds (if such a bet could be judged) that it would have more people alive in 20 years, for example.

But saving many lives thousands of miles away doesn't feel as good as making sick children happy right here, and it doesn't make as good press.

Don't get me wrong: he earned that $250,000, he's under no particular obligation to do anything with it. I consider it $250,000 that he's spending on a cool hobby that he enjoys, that also makes kids happy, and that also brings publicity to doing-good-things (probably not optimal publicity, but better than nothing).

And he's certainly making the world a better place than I am, right now.

But if his objective is to do as much good for the world as he can, he's not acheiving it.

And we shouldn't be too critical of him, because I think criticism is more likely to turn potential Batmans to the path of not-bothering, rather than the path of utility-maximisation.
It really depends on your needs and the type of application you're making. For example my applications, apart serving a few static html, css and js files, just answer to JSON or JSONP queries. That can be done in a dozen lines of code, all the remaining code will be related to your application logic.

So you just need to look at the net/http API, and at a few code samples. I cannot find the the old golang wiki codelab sample (has it gone away with Go1 ?), so here's an example of a JSONP server that you can reduce to a few lines if you remove the specific application logic and the profiling hook :
https://github.com/Canop/braldop/blob/master/go/src/braldops...

EDIT : I found an example on the golang site. If you're not interested in JSON, it will be more suited to your need : http://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#web_server
Another linkbaity unsourced article by Lacy.
Had "the year of the Linux desktop" occurred in 2002 , I'm not sure it would necessarily be the awesome experience we would all have hoped for.

Sure , we would have had better support for commercial consumer apps and drivers etc.

But basically the situation would have become more like android, instead of people getting their distributions from debian or redhat every PC manufacturer would have created their own distro.

So you would have Dell Linux , HP Linux , hell maybe even Microsoft Linux.

Of course they would all have crap pre-installed from the vendor approved repos which would carry whatever software the vendor had struck a deal with, probably no GCC etc.

Fragmentation would also be an utter nightmare with many app vendors only supporting their apps on the most commonly used distros and home made PCs would have to run some "white label" type distro like debian which would have all the problems it does today.
