1137 αυτοκίνητα κάηκαν στη Γαλλία την παραμονή της πρωτοχρονιάς (Saint-Sylvestre ) παρά την επιφυλακή 30.000 αστυνομικών. Σύμφωνα με τη Liberation η υπόθεση είναι πια ένα ταμπού και κυρίως ο αριθμός των αυτοκινήτων που φέτος είναι μόλις 10 αυτοκίνητα λιγότερα από πέρσι.

The Master, The Expert, The Programmer - http://zedshaw.com/essays...
"What I notice is that my peers are progressing to more and more complicated and convoluted designs. They are impressed with the flashiest APIs, the biggest buzzwords, and the most intricate of useless features. They are more than happy to write endless unit tests to test their endless refactoring all the while claiming that they follow XP’s “the simplest thing that works” mantra. I’ve actually seen a guy take a single class that did nothing more than encapsulate the addition of two strings, and somehow “refactor” it to be four classes and two interfaces. How is this improving things? How can more somehow equal simpler? This should never be the case. These are the actions of an expert. These experts are very smart, capable, and skilled, but they are too busy impressing everyone to realize that their actions are only making things worse for themselves. In the end all of their impressive designs are doing nothing but making more work for themselves and everyone around them. It’s as if... more... - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet
This applies to experts in any field. - WorldofHiglet
It takes smart people to make complicated things simple. - imabonehead
Is it possible he's talking about Java programmers? - Gabe
i really liked this post (it resonated with me) until the end, at which point i felt alienated. - Neha Narula
What alienated you, Neha? To me, it seemed valid enough but a bit overwrought and trite. I know plenty of experienced, skilled working programmers who value just-get-it-done simplicity -- the "professional master" doesn't seem that elusive. - ⓞnor from Android
I'm a big fan of keeping it simple, but some problems do require a thorough approach. - Andrew C
"In contrast there are masters in the martial arts who learned their art as a means of survival and became masters in a realistic and hostile environment. We don't have anyone like this in the programming profession, " ... what about Carmack and Abrash & co? - Andrew C
BTW, I dunno if this is what put Neha off, but it almost sounds like Shaw wants to deny the reality of a nice O(n log n) solution beating out an O(n^2) solution (assuming small k, whatever) on a problem of decent size. - Andrew C
I mean, the stories of the martial arts masters may involve simple-looking moves, but they are also (in the stories) _perfectly_ executed, the product of careful observation of one's opponent and expert timing and precise angles. You might be able to pare down a simple linked list to the bare essentials, but I don't think it's quite analogous to not using a more complex structure _where appropriate_. - Andrew C
Nice... "The main thing I noticed about the experts I’ve encountered is they are into impressing you with their abilities. They are usually incredibly good, but their need for recognition gets in the way of mastery. Everything they do is an attempt to prove themselves and in order to do this they must perform like an actor on stage. There’s nothing wrong with this, and I don’t think the... more... - Ken Sheppardson
Andrew: Maybe the point was that an Expert would say "Aha! You need to keep these items in order, so a self-balancing tree is the perfect solution.", while a Master would say "Ah, but you never have more than 5 items, so a linked-list will always be faster!" - Gabe
this part, so much guy/son stuff! i dislike superfluous interfaces as much as anybody else: “There was this guy I worked with who once optimized a complicated red- black tree getting 300% performance boost. I was baffled and ask, 'How’d you do that? That’s impossible.’ To which he responded…” “'That’s my linked list my son.’” - Neha Narula
This is the kind of crap that gives java such a bad image. It used to be that people used it for what it was -- a simple OO language with garbage collection and a fast VM. Now you have architecture astronauts going off the deep end and making everyone assume the language has to be that way. I believe this disease stems from people who focus more on the process than on the product of their work. That's a recipe for disaster in my book. - Joel Webber from BuddyFeed
Neha: So lt's the fact that the language is male? - ⓞnor from Android
The impulse is good, but people have such different senses of what is simple, what has quality, what flows with the Tao. It's like beauty that way. What the story doesn't say is the 300% performance boost was on a limited test data set, in the real world it performed 3x worse and all the complexity had a reason that made sense once you "know." :-) - Todd Hoff
Complexity that's "there for a reason" is the worst kind. But who even talks about red-black trees vs linked lists? TreeMap vs LinkedList isn't the issue, interface swaddling and hyperfine dependency injection is the issue. Thing is, fights are decisively won, but code maintainability is much harder to measure, and even the importance of performance can be disputed. - ⓞnor from Android
I find it funny how the article, while praising simple approach, suffers from superfluity of language. - andrei_c
egnor: unnecessarily so. - Neha Narula
Neha, I thought the final "That's my linked list my son" was to make clear the parallel with the earlier quote "That was my foot my son" from Mestre Bimba. - Ruchira S. Datta
Todd: Imagine the situation where you are storing data for the US Census, and need to keep track of the people in a household by age. Since it's sorted and unbounded (there's no maximum number of children a family can have), you can easily think that a nice O(n lg n) algorithm that keeps a balanced binary tree is the right way to go. However, if you bother to look at the data, you'd see... more... - Gabe
I wish I could "Like" this article again :) - scott willeke
might have created a "MEGA-liked" button:) - alex melnikov
Love this article. - Mon Geslani
It's a great analogy, but in reality, the martial arts stuff is mythology. Wing Chun proponents often talk about simplicity of the art, but they'd get their butts kicked in a sloppy street fight because invariably, most real world fights are messy, quickly go to the ground, and result in grappling and choking and eye gouging. Bullshido has lots of examples of this. The 80 year old guy... more... - Ray Cromwell

The realtime connection from Twitter to FriendFeed is back! (thanks to Twitter's "birddog" api)
Awesome news! - Jorge Escobar
Very good! - Kurt Starnes
Sweetness! - Alex Scrivener
34 secs flat for my latest tweet. Thanks Paul and team for this! - Jorge Escobar
wow, that makes actually want to use Twitter. I may just go tweet something. - Mike Nencetti
It should be even faster than that Jorge, but our systems are getting near their limit. I hope to have it down to 1 sec sometime next month. - Paul Buchheit
Thank god! - Miguel Caetano
@Paul, believe me, 34 secs is a charm compared to what we had before! - Jorge Escobar
Great news! - Rasmus Lauridsen
Is the birddog api open to all developers, or is it only to you guys? - Jorge Escobar
Jorge, everyone can access the streaming api, but you need an agreement to follow a large number of ids. See http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streami... - Paul Buchheit
Thanks Paul. - Roberto Bonini
that cool. Thanks Paul - Peter Dawson
Yay! That's fantastic! I was getting really bored of manually refreshing it every time I tweeted. Especially from my phone. :) - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Does this mean that Scoble can get smarter on FriendFeed again? - Crutis
NICE! - Jason, Craving
Thanks Paul, nice work :) - LANjackal

Now....if you could just get rid of the @ replies again. I would be very happy. - Chris Nixon
relief ! :) - asli subasi
You are still working on Frienfeed (: how nice ! - MuratCanDemir
^ That's probably the best part of this announcement, TBH. Good point - LANjackal from IM
whoa, it took less than a minute. i accdently tested it but it's great :) thnx - asli subasi
awesome, keep it up guys, i knew you would not let us down - Iggy Mwangi
Great news, love the efforts still put in to FF.I use Google Reader to share into FF (PubSubHubBub) then FF to Twitter (now Real-Time). The URL shortener is great (ff.im), and so FF is central to my social lifestream. I don't care what Scoble says, FF is technically better and feature-rich. - Keith Rowland
P.S. Conversations are still better here than on GReader, and you just can't have one on Twitter. - Keith Rowland
You didn't break the FF Facebook app while you were at it, did you? It hasn't worked since. - Tim Tyler
Oh, awesome!!! 12 seconds :) I can finally go back to Twitter (...okay no I can't I've turned into a Friendfeed junkie..) but prior it took hours upon hours for me to see a feed. Dumb I am, I never suspected a problem LMAO. - H0llywoodWh0re

Paul ?? Twitter updates facebook status and then facebook creates a new feed here on friendfeed. So we have same entries both from twitter and facebook on friendfeed. Could you guys please work on how we can avoid duplicate entries? Thank you. ( If there's already a way to avoid this, pls let me know) - MuratCanDemir
Cool, thanks, Paul! :-) RT Twitter updates have been missed. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
And just as I say that, I see my tweets are not coming into FF in real-time. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
Kol. I just tweeted and it was here before I could get out of Tweetie and launch Safari... It's working :) - Johnny Worthington from iPhone
awesome.; thank you a lot.. - Jaap Willem
Nice! Thank U Paul :) - zʍıɔ
Oh, so nice to have that back again. - Hutch Carpenter
Johnny, cool. Just me then. It's still slow. Maybe it's FriendFeed then? - Kol Tregaskes
It truncates retweets, even in the middle of a link... - raphaeL
seems that there are only 140chars allowed for a tweet (on FF) and the new twitter retweets are being translated on the way through to old RT @name style - thus are too long. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Αναρωτιέμαι. 'Ενας άνθρωπος που έχει ένα μπλογκ που το μόνο που κάνει είναι να αντιγράφει από άλλα μπλογκς (έστω και με αναφορά πηγής) δε βαριέται;
Μόλις περιέγραψες τη δουλειά του 97% των Ελλήνων «δημοσιογράφων». Όπου μπλογκ, βάλε ειδησεογραφικά πρακτορεία, ξένα έντυπα, systran, κλπ. - Stazybο Hοrn
Ναι βρε παιδί μου, και οι δημοσιογράφοι με τα δελτία τύπου - αλλά εκείνοι έχουν και ένα αφεντικό και status quo. Να το κάνεις από μόνος σου δεν είναι κάπως βαρετό; - sofiagk
Δεν ξέρω σε ποιον αναφέρεσαι. Κάποιοι το κάνουν για τη διαφήμιση του google. Κάποιοι άλλοι αυτόματα, τέλος είναι και κάποιοι βλαμμένοι. Αν ήξερα το case, θα σου έλεγα ιδιωτικώς. - Stazybο Hοrn
α γενικώς το αναρωτιέμαι. αφορμή σημερινή: διάβασα για κάτι καλό που έκανε ο αρχηγός της ΕΛ.ΑΣ και από περιέργεια έψαξα μία ατόφια πρόταση στο google. Είναι απίστευτο το πόσα blogs αναπαράγουν επί λέξη και χωρίς ούτε μία παραπάνω δικιά τους το αυθεντικό (αναφέρουν πηγή όσα είδα). Δοκίμασε το. Ψάξε "Ο αρχηγός της ΕΛ.ΑΣ Λευτέρης Οικονόμου φετος δεν έκανε αυτο που συνιθιζότανε τόσα" - sofiagk
Α, αυτό είναι η νόρμα. Το κάθε πρωκτικό έχει 50-100 δορυφόρους, οι «πράσινοι» μπλόγκερ αντιγράφουν αλλήλους, κι όλοι μαζί τη γραμμή που έλαβαν, η κοπιπαστάδα του ΑΠΕ/ΜΠΕ πάει σύννεφο, τα Δ.Τ. κάθε φορέα παπαγαλίζονται άκριτα. - Stazybο Hοrn
