Barry Schwartz on our loss of wisdom - http://www.ted.com/talks...

"Barry Schwartz makes a passionate call for "practical wisdom" as an antidote to a society gone mad with bureaucracy. He argues powerfully that rules often fail us, incentives often backfire, and practical, everyday wisdom will help rebuild our world."

Benin Brown, Dave Morin, Anne Bouey and 2 other people liked this
"Some good things will follow from this. There will be fewer smart Alecs who think they know it all pouring into companies. There has been a bear market in management bullshit since the credit crunch began, but so far this has been on the demand side—managers have been too intent on staying in work to talk much jargon. In 2010 the decline of the MBA will cut off the supply of bullshit at source. Pretentious ideas about business will be in retreat."

This is the best post I've read all week.

This is why I refuse from here on out to read a Steve Gillmor post: "Fred Wilson finds himself on two sides of the fundamental issue of our time: the user’s right to access data the way he or she wants to. On one side, that of the user, Wilson is an investor and board member of Boxee...." The article goes on for two paragraphs, gets to no point, and never talks about *the other side.* If you go to the original article not shown here, but at TechCrunchIT, five paragraphs later, Steve mentions the "other side." Of course, the other side is Twitter, and it has nothing to do with the narrative he's trying to construct. I don't usually dump all over a writer, but I simply can't understand any posts that Steve puts together - they need to be edited. At least a little.

- Joe Beda ()
Nick, I think a lot of that code is "refactored" from the original gse code. The tests are all new as far as I know though (as if I need a spec compliance test).
- Paul Buchheit
Honestly, I think the JVM's lack of closures is what leads to architecture zombies.
- Gabe
C and C++ don't have closures either Gabe. (they have their own problems of course) I think it just got headed in the wrong direction and that pattern was reinforced as people copy what they see -- it begins to seem like the "right" way to do things. Also, their IDEs probably autogenerate the FactoryFactories :)
- Paul Buchheit
What is this thing that was open sourced? OpenCompliantSuckyGSE? I want FastScrewComplainceGSE. For a simple, fast HTTP server: using grizzly (https://grizzly.dev.java.net/) directly is pretty awesome. If you're looking for compliance with some broke-ass spec, you will be disappointed.
- Kelly Norton
@Gabe - This may be pedantic, but it's Java (the language) that lacks closures and not the JVM. Scala and clojure, both JVM based languages, do have closures. And if Java did get closures, it would still likely compile down to something that looks kind of like anonymous inner classes and wouldn't require any JVM changes.
- Kelly Norton
I think it's Java's lack of duck typing that causes things like DonkeyDonkeyDonkeyFactoryFactoryFactory classes.
- Jim Norris
@Paul - the effort spent on the tests seemed a bit strange, esp since OpenGSE would be no different to Jetty or Tomcat WRT getting access to the compliance suite. Unless they needed them for a different project.. (insert speculation re: App Engine)
- Nick Lothian
Kelly, I beg to differ. My understanding is that the JVM will at best let you pass around an object that you can call predefined methods on. Obviously it's Turing-complete so you can implement a language with closures, tail-recursion, etc., but it will likely be inefficient.
- Gabe
I'm no expert on this by a long shot, but I believe you can implement closures on a stack-based machine if you copy the environment as part of the method invocation. This should be doable on a JVM.
- DeWitt Clinton
Neal Gafter's paper and other details proposing closures in Java: http://www.javac.info/. Still trying to track down the proposed JVM changes because that will give great insight into what needed to be done to implement closures efficiently. (I found an older reference by Neal that suggests that it would be done with 'invokedynamic', which I can partly understand as useful, but it is probably not the whole enchilada.)
- DeWitt Clinton
@DeWitt - I didn't follow the closures-in-java thing overly closely, but I think the state of the art for the VM was http://openjdk.java.net/project... "The details need to be worked out"
- Nick Lothian
@Nick - yeah, that's what I'm coming up with, too. Gilad Bracha (co-author of the proposal) wrote: "Paul asks if the JVM is up to supporting this. Well, without VM extensions it is rather lacking, but still doable. However, we are likely to add VM support, if any of this gets done." Still not sure if any of that got done. And I thought closures were passed on for Java7?
- DeWitt Clinton
@Gabe - It's continuations that really need JVM level changes to work. See http://bugs.sun.com/bugdata....
