It becomes hard when the app uses reflection. When you want to remove some method foo, you not only have to make sure that it isn't referenced by some code, but also make sure that no code is passing the string "foo" to reflection API. This may be hard for many apps and is undecidable in general.

Actually, even in plain, reflection-less java it may be quite complicated because subclass methods can be invoked by superclass-typed variables. For every method invocation you need to find all possible subclasses whose objects can be assigned to variable on which the method is invoked. You need to know which subclasses are ever passed as superclass/interface arguments to methods. You need to know which subclasses are assigned to superclass/interface member/static variables. You need to know which subclasses are stored in superclass collections. And so on.
I just ready your post out of context. Made me chuckle.
The most important thing to mention is that Amazon are squeezing their margins to approaching zero. If you want to compete you will have to play for a very long term win.

That said, i welcome more options. I now default to Amazon for most purchases.
Yeah this is really annoying, but fortunately there's a Chrome extension that takes care of it.
Wow, James. Is your sarcasm detector misaligned or something?
I've thought about it some more, and I think the main issue is that most rougelikes I've seen are in the fantasy genre, but dungeons / castles / magic / etc don't really interest me at all. As such I've never really got into them to see what they can offer. I never knew that there was the randomness or permadeath - they are both pretty nice game mechanics.

I'm perfectly happy with the graphics, I've played Dwarf Fortress (in fortress mode - I think the city building overcomes my lack of desire for fantasy) and use Vim all day at work :)

Thanks for your explanation, and yeah I'll think I'll give FTL a go!
mdadm and associated init scripts was the dealbreaker for me

they broke the initscripts so array assembly didn't work correctly - not even the same as the installed man page stated

they had mdadm version 2.x (has significant flaws) for YEARS after mdadm 3.x was accepted into debian - YEARS - even after multiple users making clear what the problem was in bug reports

a user even made a patch and a ppa which fixed things but still they didn't pick up on that for a year + as i recall

and they broke/removed debian's PERFECT support for installation onto md raid

other stuff i've honestly forgotten but i swear there was more

oh! oh! wait, also the STOPPING THE BOOT PROCESS TO WAIT FOR YOU TO PRESS A KEY if a drive needed an fsck!!!!! what the f....

I have a lot of domains. Its expensive to maintain them. Godaddy will sometimes throw up brick walls and prevent domains from being transferred. Right now I've got something like 30 domains spread across 2-3 registrars. Its been such a hassle with godaddy that I kind of got stuck there, as much as I'd like to move.

Webcam2favicon - exercise in literate coffeescript
just to add a counterpoint to this classic everything sucks on the internet thread:

no issues at all with a 13" 2012 MBAir. best machine I've ever owned, had Lenovos in the past. Last Thinkpad bluescreened sometimes when connecting a USB headset. The Air? Nothing has brought it out of step so far, which for a former Windows user, is simply amazing.
In addition to what others said about this only applying to already dead versions of Android, this is one of the upsides of distributing apps online. Nobody is installing an old boxed copy of Facebook 2.0 - google can just ask facebook to remove the hack when they've fixed it, and instantly everyone who installs the app it has the fix, and for anyone else the update is a tap away. This wasn't possible with the hacks to keep old Windows/DOS apps running.
How much is Facebook paying ArsTechnica for these infomercials?
I'm not operating from logic, but from a 'natural' perspective. I've no problems with the syntax ("French citizens German citizens bully, bully Belgian citizens") though it's quite an awkward sentence in that format and any editor would require a rewrite, but it's just not something that someone would say if all the demographics were the same ("French citizens French citizens bully, bully French citizens") - ie, it's nonsense for that reason.
Totally agree: "I don't believe that treating employees fairly requires treating them identically".
Also I don't think "hallway and cafeteria discussions" are the paradigm of hard work.
hi, i coded/wrote this for my latest http://www.viennajs.org/ meetup talk. basically a midnight experiment in literate programming. the experimental point is, the README.md you see the github repo is the actual source.
Some of us have though, and I'll talk for days about International Style to anyone who asks :)
So apparently Adioso thinks "Scotland"" means "Suitland, Maryland, US". Okay, so second shot with "Scotland, UK" becomes "Portland, UK".
No, cause it's best to just hold onto it until a large amount accept it. That's when you'll get the most value for it.

This demented viewpoint overlooks how much more efficient bicycling is than virtually any other mode of transport.

Link: http://www.exploratorium.edu/cycling/humanpower1.html

Quote: "The bicycle is a tremendously efficient means of transportation. In fact cycling is more efficient than any other method of travel--including walking!"

The hidden agenda is that such an efficient mode of transport is difficult to tax based on conventional measures like fuel used or CO2 emitted -- although it's apparent that people will try.

I think bicyclists should be taxed based on what their existence costs society as a whole -- freeway construction, pothole repair, global warming, health care for those dying of heart disease and diabetes. By that reasoning, bicyclists should receive a tax credit, like those who install solar panels or buy electric cars.

Oh -- did I mention that I'm a bicyclist?
Sorry dude, you have several people asking you what country your in and you give no answer. What you said (That Bitcoins are illegal in your country) is complete FUD until you provide some proof.

As far as I am concerned, until you tell us where your country is, it seems your trying to damage namecheap's and /or Bitcoin's reputation for no reason.

Please provide the country and law cited. Cheers.

I feel the decision to kill remote-work would have been less harsh if Yahoo opened up a daycare departement for all the employees' kids. Now the CEO does not work remote, but gets to have her kid in the room next door. She's paying for it herself, so thats smart. Why not give other employees that option? Give them the option to pay for an in-company daycare centre together.

What I have to say is completely unrelated to your qualifications. But...

Are you sure Google is what you want? From what I've heard from people I know who work or have worked there, Google is quite substantially bureaucratic, and due to the rigidity of all the standards they have (everything must be built at scale, many layers of code reviews), it is very hard to get anything done there nowadays. Have you talked to several current and former Googlers about what they think about the culture and the pace of learning? I've heard of instances where a team at Google will built and entire product, and it'll get completely cancelled even though they built the whole thing already. You'd never see this happen at a startup.

It's a good business model ;) The issues with it are exacerbated by the promise they made to always be free (which makes it problematic to offer a tier of paid services even if users would be interested.)

They're getting around this by offering paid services that are outside their basic offering (services for business, messaging users outside your friend group, etc.)

See their post about always being free:

I'll just paste the same thing here that I wrote in response to commenters on FB misunderstanding the problem:

"Even though I disagree with most of your comments (to the extent that it is any more than unrelated editorializing) and everyone talking about "too many methods" etc, the actual bug that was triggered is here and provides a test case: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22586 showing that multiple interface inheritance triggers this easily."

Americans famously don't trust smart people. American anti-intellectualism is no more obvious than at the voting booth.

The last truly smart person to run for president was Adlai Stevenson (in 1952 and 1956). Even though women liked him and voted for him, he really didn't have a chance.

Based on how we vote, and for whom, we have the representatives we deserve.
You realize the moment President Obama expresses support for this, it will die in congress or be filibustered to death?

It's also highly suspect of this administration actually supporting this - HIGHLY suspect. It goes against many things they've done to try to force more commerce and money exchanging hands.
Understand your intolerance for self-help category in books... generally, I detest them too.

A lot of people here might look at that list and think 'Co-founder' before 'CEO'.
The settings page is very specific context and there are no similar elements that aren't actionable so it is easy to learn that these links are links, not just labels. The arrow on the right side is also a nice cue.

You should not generalize from this example that flat buttonlike constructs are as usable as normal buttons in other contexts.

Also while I personally don't like the flat design, I believe it can work with a caveat: you will need to be much more careful in the design as you offer less conventional cues. In this I believe a design that offers more affordances is less prone to small mistakes.
Yes, but those are also the ONLY clickable options (and only visual elements, consistently in a list) on the entire screen. This does not hold true (in most cases) for a website / webapp.
Even if you don't take it to this extreme there are simpler changes you could make. The search timers on the result page could instead show a total count of searches performed. Then you're framing it in a positive (look how much work we're doing for you) instead of a negative way (see how much of your time we've wasted).
Be careful, FTL is very addictive :)

Incidentally FTL was funded (at least partially) by a Kickstarter they did in early 2012. It ended up being one of the biggest PC games of 2012.
What is the value of Yahoo the company right now?

Is it in their IP, their customer base?

Is it in their physical assets, their cash on hand?

Is it in their employees?

If any significant amount of value is in their employee base then what is the advantage of cracking down and removing employee perks? You're not going to get rid of the dead weight that way, the folks with the least talent and skills and the least ability to find jobs elsewhere are logically the ones who are not going to leave voluntarily, they're going to put in the bare minimum of effort (whether at home or in the office). Instead you'll get rid of the people who have the easiest time of finding jobs elsewhere, the most talented folks. And by removing a perk that is common in the industry you'll make it harder to attract outside talent.

There's a time and a place for buckling down and cracking the whip, but that comes after you instill a new vision for the company, not before. Asking people to buy in to the old vision and buckle down for the same old work that they've already checked out of is unlikely to have good results.
AFAIK it isn't removed, but it is no longer developed and requires GHC to be in unregistered mode, which most people's won't be. But I could simply be behind the times.
Yes, I'm in the same boat. On my Android 2.2 phone (HTC Legend) it is hard to fit some current apps and facebook is a system app so I can't uninstall it. However I can uninstall the updates, so my facebook is the original factory version. I won't be trying out this latest version.

It would be interesting to know what it is doing to be that complex. I'm guessing lots of third party libraries for ads, logging, etc?

Google's mission: Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.

Facebook's mission: Facebook's mission is to make the world more open and connected.

What is yahoo? Yahoo! makes the world's daily habits inspiring and entertaining. By creating highly personalized experiences for our users, we keep people connected to what matters most to them, across devices and around the globe. In turn, we create value for advertisers by connecting them with the audiences that build their businesses.

This is a very useful insight.

If brands can't rely on Facebook to reliably deliver messaging to a significant number of their fans, then these brands will spend less resources (both effort and money) on cultivating fan bases on Facebook. Instead they'll focus on Twitter, Instagram or just reduce the scope of their social media campaigns in favor of something with more optimized results.
So the USTR is negotiating TPP on behalf of the Executive branch of the US Government. Congress has the power to legislate copyright. So is Congressional approval required to ratify this treaty?

I'm aware of the treaty clause of the Constitution which requires 2/3 majority of the Senate for treaty ratification. But I am also aware of the procedure for ratifying Congressional Executive Agreements(CEAs).

Look at subsection (2) at the top of page 25 of this document.
http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/congress/treaties_senate...

It clearly states that the Sole Executive Agreement(SEA) process cannot be used when the Constitution reserves certain rights to Congress. Since legislating copyright law is a right reserved for Congress under the Constitution, how can Congress not be involved in any ratification of TPP. Congressional approval was required for NAFTA to be ratified for this very reason. It should also go without saying that the Executive cannot make laws without congressional approval. So if ratifying a treaty changes domestic legislation, it must also be approved by Congress otherwise it would unenforceable.

Can someone with more understanding of treaty laws explain what I am missing?
pretty clear you haven't the faintest idea that amphetamines are among the most well researched drugs on the planet.
Could you explain that again?

I think I got there is some correlation between x and y that makes us money, and to find Y there is an approximation of cross-tabulation which is really simple, and the exponential cost of accuracy is so great it will defeat us then we should just live with fast simple analysis on smaller sets

But I don't think I got the maths - cheers
Not true because if the profits aren't high enough, you won't be able to pay these workers enough money for it to be interesting to them.

If you can make 2 cents/hour by employing someone, that doesn't mean someone will accept the job. People will prefer not working (and maybe resorting to crime to survive) at all rather than not making enough to live properly.

I believe we are already at the limit here. Many people work for less than enough to live properly. In France, we know what happens when people start starving to death while others are fat and rich.

The social measures are meant to prevent the poor population from killing the rich. It's the price to pay for peace and security.
you're assuming that merchants won't just keep the 1% difference.

This is my history on your site. It took me 5 tries before I even saw the page that is the entire point of the site. I would take the negative feedback people are giving you here and accept that some of it comes from an honest attempt to give feedback to a fellow traveler, and use it to improve your shit.

Here is my search history on your site:

"Europe to California":
Error: Too broad.

"France to California":
Error: Too broad.

"France to San Jose":
Error: Too broad.

"Frankfurt to San Jose between June 11 and June 14":
Tried to find flights between Frankfurt and San Jose Argentina, even though there are no such flights.
Forgot about the June 14 completely, limited my search to just June 11.

By now I'm only holding on because, you know, I love arguing with you on the internet and I need more ammunition. So I keep driving on.

"San Jose to Frankfurt":
Hey, I finally see some flights! I'm not sure why I would use this instead of literally any other flight search engine, but at least it didn't just have an error.

"San Jose to France in August":
Oh my! Now it's actually doing something interesting, loading fares to many, many destinations at once. Suddenly I see the point of the site.
If we ever invented FTL travel, even for just probes, this could be done too.

Except you'd need insane levels of resolution or a whole new way to think beyond optics to be able to see details.

I mean what if you could see that far back but the earth's resolution was only the size of a pin head?
I tried Mint with Cinnamon a few months ago. I normally use Gnome classic with XMonad as the window manager. Some things that are in Gnome were missing in Cinnamon (bluetooth settings was an example IIRC, but I don't remember the details), and I ended up with a mess of Gnome and Cinnamon, having some apps installed twice (the Cinnamon version and the Gnome version). Other things required some manual work, like integrating Dropbox with Nemo. I ended up going back to Ubuntu.
Not true. One of his five forces was the threat of substitution. In other words, while many businesses are focused on their direct rivals, they don't notice the looming alternatives that could make them and their direct competitors irrelevant. A Porter-style 5-forces analysis would REQUIRE the business to broaden its view of competitive threats.
Flash Player? You didn't have problems with that?

Yeah, I can see where allowing the government to hold a monopoly on the use of force is a really bright idea.

The right to bear arms is an anachronism that needs to be scrapped. Two points:

1. Civilian small arms are useless against an organised modern military. If your government wanted to tyrannise you, they would and all the AR15s in the world wouldn't save you.

2. If you do not trust your government, elect a new one. If that doesn't work, move.
