Re: gaming the system, voting rings and other tit-for-tat behaviors are very much alive and well down here in the Bay Area. Without getting into specifics, many groups here have strong if unwritten "upvote your friends" policies encouraging promotion of each other's commercial interests, irrespective of the quality of the articles. It's rather like special-interest politics, where the damage done to the community is large but dispersed (from upvoting trash), whereas the benefits are localized and perceptible.

My social network is also the best source of news I have, but most of the information exchange takes place in private, often offline -- added plus that face-to-face is the only way to get access to a lot of quasi- or truly-confidential information.

I think much of Java programming we are talking of today is basically using the IDE.

Opening a file and reading from it takes tens of lines in Java, and that's just a trivial task. Stuff like that is better left auto generated.

You don't learn Java these days, you just learn eclipse. Much of the magic is happening in auto complete. I am not sure who picks up a book to learn java these days.
I respectfully disagree with you here. The beauty and the wonder of these small command line tools (for me, at least) is that they are a) small and b) fast and c) ubiquitious. I do a lot of data manipulation, and while I'll do anything complex in a real programming language (with a REPL) sed, awk, grep and find are really really handy for quick data finding and manipulation.

Any new API on top of them would only be present on a fraction of machines, and thus would reduce the major advantage of them in that they are available everywhere.
Similar thing happened to me when I wrote a nodejs abstraction in GWT: https://twitter.com/jdub/status/25537683967180800. Gotta shrug off the haters when it comes to showing projects like this. It is the internet after all.

>- submitting code to a code review site like Gerrit.

Why would you want your build tool to do that?

>- generating code (for example, a parsed SNMP MIB that you want as a Java class so you can refer to it easily).

There are plenty of plugins to do that. If you want one that doesn't exist, write your own. It's not hard, and means this operation will be encapsulated in a structured, testable, reusable way. If you're generating code in an ad-hoc, specific-to-a-single-project way, you're doing it wrong.

>- integration with a tool like Sonar (yes, there's a Maven plugin. You ever used it?).

Yep, I've used it. It works fine.

>- code coverage analysis (yes, there's a Maven plugin. You ever used it?).

Yep, I've used it. It works fine.

>- FindBugs style analysis (yes, there's a Maven plugin. You ever used it?).

Yep, I've used it, it works fine.

>- interesting dependencies on external libraries (to pick an example from Ruby, the json gem was horribly broken at 1.4.2 and generations of projects have varying requirements for json < 1.4.2, json > 1.4.2, and many other worse things.

Huh? You can depend on a specific version, a range of versions, or a range with gaps in. You can't depend on two versions of the same library because it's impossible to set the classpath up like that, but that's a limitation of Java, not maven.

>- C code (through JNI or anything else, a perfectly reasonable thing to want to do).

There are ways to do this, I'll agree it's not pretty. If you want to use another build tool for those projects that include C code that's fair - it should be a minotiry of your projects.

>- deployment.

Not the appropriate tool for it.

Additionally, Volkswagen/Audi autonomous efforts go far beyond 'self parking.

They partnered with Stanford AI Lab , won the Darpa Grand Challenge, climbed Pikes Peak, etc.

The key issue being overlooked in these discussions of 'Autonomous vehicles at scale' is that all of these projects revolve around Lidar - and I'm unsure how well that scales with multiple laser sources throwing off 'point cloud' data.

Show HN: Zigg.be – A link shortener that creates short speakable links
I created this a year or so ago but recently made updates and I thought people might like to know that it exists.

I made this to easily send links or text to someone else verbally, like over the phone or over voice chat (which is what I made it for). The goal is to be able to tell the link to someone else without being ambiguous or needing to spell it out, so I grabbed the words off a Grade 5 level dictionary. I understand that the domain itself doesn’t qualify but I’m trying to get a better domain.

Guys, I didn't write this as a bitter developer but I merely tried to summarize the trend that I have picked up over the years. I have nothing against frameworks or libraries at all, it's just the way the evolution of development have changed.

The most frustrating (yes, I've said it, frustrating) issue I've seen is the quick development of applications that is deployed to market (especially in corporate environment). What's not measured very effectively are the non-functional business requirements and when issues arises, it's usually the developers with technical know-hows and understanding of the internals of a system (whether it be OS level, VM level, etc.) that can shed light to an operational issue and optimise the system to meet non-functional requirements).

Frameworks, etc. are mostly designed to solve functional requirements. Those "developers" that tend to rush quickly to frameworks and libraries tend to use them based on functional issues they've experienced during development/integrations, etc. Most develop business requirements and technical specification but excludes non-functional requirements. This tends to become estimations to development lifecycle.

Over time, the "developers" (I call them component integrators) tend to build business systems and leave before the roof gets on fire, and the experts become problem resolvers. See StackOverflow, many reputable developers are those that have extensive experiences with low-level programming and have manifested as being great help. I don't think that I can say the same for component integrators.

Sorry for the long post, but thanks for all the feedback.
Bad News: Apple Is the Most Profitable Company in History
Combine driverless cars with electric motors. Add a few driver-free high speed tunnels which connect to the existing road network (I assume tunnelling will eventually be cheaper than building new roads). Then we'll have a growing, backwards-compatible high speed freight distribution system which delivers to the doorstep. And as cars get quieter and pollution free (locally) our cities will suddenly become civilised places to walk around in, breathing freely. Maybe we'll hang out like philosophers in the market squares of Athens or Florence :-)
Rio Tinto.

Not for general public driving, of course, but for fleets of trucks and excavators that operate globally 24/7.

At various sites they are already operating driverless equipment using tech developed in house.

For what it's worth, oil & gas & mineral exploration work drove a large part of the civilian development of tools like Google Earth / Google Maps in the decades prior to the first public offerings by Google (who acquired their tech from others (the chaps from Sydney for Maps, Keyhole for Earth)).
Awesome guys! +1 For the amazing work.
I replied to @steveklabnik's tweet saying (https://twitter.com/hardikr/status/293819210965082113)

"There's also a search command. It's like grep, but with replace's syntax, and slower!" Wow - I'm sold!

If it was not clear, I was just kidding - and I apologize if my tweet and caused her any sort of distress. I'm just a novice in the open-source world, and I really respect harthur for her contributions to open-source. I was just "smiling" about Javascript's use to replicate grep. In fact, it is my Github everyone should be laughing at - it is filled with small useless scripts, and really terrible code.
Exactly what pommefrites said: this is a city or town zoning issue (or I suppose county for unincorporated areas). And yes, I totally support the rights of local goverment to regulate property usage.

Geebee is correct, the vacation rental issue is real in vacation destinations. Unregulated B&Bs were always an issue, but AirBnB just makes it easier for others to do the same.
While reading the post, I too was thinking of the Slashdot / K5 / Advogato examples.

It's weird to me that there are millions of professional nerds for whom this trifecta is not a critical historical influence. Or even in their mind. At all.

Anyway; the cycle of blooming and decay is as old as people. I don't think there is a "solution". Just gotta accept it.
Sounds very shady. I would not trust this post.
Yes, but discrimination of this sort is possible if it can pass the appropriate scrutiny test. It's just like how constitution says "the right to bear arms shall not be infringed", yet it's clear that certain firearms can be banned and certain people may be prohibited from owning firearms: theoretically speaking no right or protection is absolute, but we have to be very cautious in the way we restrict these rights.

Government needs to show that there's a compelling interest in denying someone the right to bear arms while permitting them the right to vote, that doing so furthers that compelling interest, and (if strict scrutiny is used) that it's the most narrow (tailored toward that interest only) and smallest restriction possible.

E.g., it could be argued that a first time non-violent offender who has shown remorse, is successfully reintegrated back into society, etc... cannot be denied any of the rights after a certain amount of time -- but a violent offender may recoup other rights after say 10 years, but not lose the right to bear arms for a longer period.

See:

I can't wait to see driverless cars available everywhere, but I'm afraid of the pushback, especially from governments who will inevitably come up with stupid regulations that will make it as cumbersome to use as possible.

Also, given that I live in France, I'm sure there won't be any Google car allowed anywhere before the French automakers are able to make one -- which is to say, probably never.

sucks to be on the receiving end of some nasty/uncivil comments. On the other hand, you are now the person that re-wrote sed. That's pretty awesome.
Sounds like they've cocked up the jars they've produced; you should never have to use exclusions, and it's possible to have a dependency that can be satisfied multiple ways with a default, so you shouldn't need to choose the driver separately if you don't want to. Much of that xml file is what already exists for your project. So the fair comparison is with the section:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
<version>2.28.0</version>
</dependency>

So: you need a groupId; we've learnt through painful experience that this is a good idea to prevent collisions rather than just using the name. That said, your tool should autocomplete it if there's only one option.

You need to specify a version; this is 1000% the Right Thing. Again, your tool will give you a list to choose from.

And yeah, it's a bit of a verbose way to specify those three pieces of information; the point is for it to be easy to automatedly manipulate the pom file.

This wasn't criticism. It was ridicule.
One of the things that lends itself to abuse of things such as karma is a lack of cost. It costs nothing to vote something up or down, therefore we associate little value with giving karma (as you're not losing anything), whereas the accumulation of karma typically requires some effort, so the cost of acquisition is higher.
Imho Maven, despite its wide range of plugins and extentions mechanisms, is quite "convention over configuration" (cought cought) and really is made for projects that can adapt to its conventions, and to the popular Java artifacts layouts.

The problem is, when it does not suits you, the competition is not really well known. Gradle maybe ?

Doesn't this miss the point of Markdown? I thought the main selling point of Markdown was that for plain text reading i.e. the markdown was clear and understandable as plain text. This introduces a bunch of additional features that can ONLY be represented accurately once parsed to HTML.

Absolutely, which is one of the best things about maven - because all your build steps are plugins written in standard Java, you can test it the same way you test your regular code.

I think it's a good statement. But I also recognize a dangerous dystopian world with only one render implementation. The competition between Trident/Gecko/Webkit/Presto pushed the web forward, not a single one of them — the whole process has done it.

At the same time I do understand from a developer perspective that a single "runtime" would be the Holy Grail at least as much as a single OS. But that's what standard stand for.

In the actual situation a vendor can implement things directly in their project, trying to push things forward for its benefit, in contrast to the competitors. If we lose this appeal, will we lose the traction the web has?
Contrast this with the billboard-like layout of the Windows Phone UI. You are bombarded with colors and pictures and icons, mere millimeters away from one another, leaving a user in confusion and sensory overload because it's difficult to isolate the various elements.

This is true -- but only in the context of a random person put in front of a random Windows Phone device for the first time. However that's a fairly rare occurrence over the lifetime of a highly personal device, and I feel Microsoft has made the right decision in prioritizing personal organization.

Tile sizes and placements are indeed "arbitrarily assigned" simply because they're chosen by the user. Anecdotally, everybody I know with a Windows Phone has tinkered with the tile layout. The lack of whitespace is not a problem when you've placed all those items there yourself. The ability to vary tile sizes further improves spatial orientation within the customized screen.

(Think of items on your desk -- in order to tell them apart, do you insist that they are all the same size and at least 20 cm away from each other? Probably not, because those items have some other meaning to you than simply "object on my desk").

Another misunderstanding about Windows Phone is the content of the tiles. In screenshots it looks garish to have some tiles in a solid color and others filled with photos. In practice there's a strong consistency at work: any tile that is non-flat is displaying the user's own content. Furthermore these tiles usually also have an element of motion so that the non-flat content is not static. (For example, the People tile shows the user's contacts with varying animations, and the Pictures tile shows the user's photos as a slideshow with smooth panning.)

You got that right.

So, what? You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.

The key is to forbid the government from breaking eggs. Egg breaking should be strictly a private sector activity, judged solely by consumer demand.

Well, you know, about the substance you cited, it's difficult to synthesize it

That's why they still get it from the leaves of the plant, and have to transport it

A big kudos to you as well! You helped us kickstart the development of the whole stack of browsers for this feature. We are very creatively satisfied with developing this technology in house :)
> only a small part of public transport budgets are for drivers (it looks like around 10% for LA)

Well, you also have to consider that bus systems are built around driver scarcity. What if buses were half as large, and run twice as often? They can't now, because that would double driver labor costs.

If buses were the size of vans, capital costs might even decrease due to having access to van-market economies of scale (the market for vans presumably being significantly larger than the market for buses).
I have only an idea for gun owners of a certain type. Some gun owners reason for owning a gun is for hunting. For owners like that, location detection can be implemented. Outside of hunting locations, the guns will be "locked" and will only be enabled once they're within the hunting location.
It is easy to throw out a statement like that, but hard to justify.

Holy shit. Forbes is an absolute cesspool of a website.

There are about three paragraphs of text, and then I have to pony up another ad impression by clicking through to the next page in order to keep reading. All the while, two enormous fixed nav bars follow my every move at both the top and the bottom of the page. Meanwhile a veritable flotilla of fixed-position "social icons" on the left beg me to help Forbes advertise their content. And to the right of the article? Adverts as far as the eye can see. Even within that center column, the content is occasionally interrupted with links to other unrelated content. And below the article text itself are a bunched of "Sponsored Content You Might Like" links doing their very best to look similar to "Related Stories".

What's going on here? Is this what it takes for Forbes to turn a profit?

It strikes me as the OP is a new-fangled node.js programmer who unwittingly stepped into shell-script land and felt the judgmental wrath of those who dwell there.

This post has a lot of conversation which I take to mean it touched a nerve with a lot of people as it did me. I grew up when computer nerds were not cool and a lot of guys dealt with it by being self-righteous, condescending assholes. I thought those days were behind us now that computer guys and gals are off getting rich and running the world. But clearly the need to feel superior still exists in some communities. It bums me out to see people who otherwise do good work with such a mean-spirited attitude.
