"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...

"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...

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!"

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
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.

I find it funny how the article, while praising simple approach, suffers from superfluity of language.

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.

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...

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...

"As an aside, the USA doesn't have anything like free market healthcare. Tax laws have given such an upper hand to health insurance companies, patent laws have given a huge upper hand to big pharma (particularly 'use patents', e.g. patenting a pink Prozac for PMS), and malpractice lawyers have doctors on the defensive. Now, doctors are likely to do something just to keep from being sued, pharma companies are free to charge whatever they want to certain classes of patients relying upon or otherwise using a particular drug (their preferred patient is one who will depend for life on a drug that they have the sole treatment for,) all of them have a huge information asymmetry advantage giving them even more monopolistic pricing power, and patients are often left in the dark, with close to no ability to reason about crucial and extremely expensive decisions (do you know what will be covered in your health insurance plan? Do you know what something will cost before you get the medical bill?)..."

Sir Isaac Newton broke his a** working out the calculus. Nobody else got it. It blew Euclid out of the water. It wasn't about statics, it was about dynamics. It wasn't about change, it was about continuously varying rates of change. Nobody had even asked those kind of questions.
- Charlie Barone
"Rate of change was itself an abstraction of an abstraction; what velocity was to position, acceleration was to velocity. It was differentiation (in the language of the calculus)...Time and space - joined. Speed and area - two abstractions, seemingly disjoint, revealed as cognate."
- Charlie Barone
"Time was a flowing thing. In terms of velocity, position was a function of time. But in terms of acceleration, velocity itself was a function of time."
- Charlie Barone
" 'All is flux, nothing stays still', Heraclitus had said two millennia before. 'Nothing endures but change.' But this state of being - in flow, in change - defied mathematicians then and afterward. Philosophers could barely observe continuous change, much less classify and gauge it, until now. Henceforth space would have dimension and measure; motion would be subject to geometry.

"Though the universe as a whole is imbued with an undeniable aura of magic, we can further fill our lives with magic by creating a collection of magical things. More than being simply beautiful, such objects can potentially play an active role in the shaping of our experience as each magical object serves a unique and multifaceted purpose. Some inspire us to reflect while some have the power to positively influence our moods. Others take us back in time, capturing in their essence memories locked in history or helping us reaffirm our connection with the universe. Magical objects can be found almost anywhere and can be practically anything, from gifts of nature to manmade artifacts. You’ll know an object is truly magical when it touches you deeply, awakening some primal part of yourself that is more profoundly connected to the ethereal."

[revised Art History] . Van Gogh's ear was cut off by Gauguin with a sword - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture...
Dogu Ozgun, Amira, Dee S. and 3 other people liked this
"The prevailing theory is that the Dutchman almost bled to death after slashing his own ear with a razor in a fit of lunacy on the night of December 23, 1888. He is said to have wrapped it in cloth and handed it to a prostitute in a nearby brothel. [B]ut a new study claims Vincent Van Gogh may have made up the story to protect painter Paul Gauguin who actually lopped it off with a sword during an argument. German art historians say the true version of events never surfaced as the two men both kept a "pact of silence" – Gauguin to avoid prosecution and Van Gogh in a vain attempt to keep a friend with whom he was hopelessly infatuated. In Van Gogh's Ear: Paul Gauguin and the Pact of Silence, Hans Kaufmann and Rita Wildegans claim it was the sword attack, not Van Gogh's madness, that led him to commit suicide two years later." #visual01

"OMAHA, Nebraska - Native American tribes tired of waiting for the U.S. government to honor centuries-old treaties are buying back land where their ancestors lived and putting it in federal trust. Native Americans say the purchases will help protect their culture and way of life by preserving burial grounds and areas where sacred rituals are held. They also provide land for farming, timber and other efforts to make the tribes self-sustaining. Tribes put more than 840,000 acres — or roughly the equivalent of the state of Rhode Island — into trust from 1998 to 2007, according to information The Associated Press obtained from the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs under the Freedom of Information Act."

Teddington (across the river from Kingston Upon Thames, is where I think I'd like to live. Just 'cos it's cheaper than everywhere else around it. :-)

@Kol many years ago, we made the mistake of asking an estate agent in Surbiton whether it was any cheaper than Kingston. She replied 'No - of course not. We are on the fast line to Waterloo' and looked at us as if we were dog excrement.

I've checked rental prices in the area several times over the last 2 years and Teddington is definitely cheaper. I'm not buying, no way I can afford that. ;-) All a pip-dream anyway, need a steady job and I've not had that for a while. :-(

I grew up in Louisiana and Emeril's food has never seemed or tasted authentic to me. Haven't eaten at any of Besh's restaurants, but his ingredients and methods certainly ring true.

I just got Chef Donald Link's book, "Real Cajun". I wonder how he ranks. His restaurants are Herbsaint and Cochon. EDIT: And a private dining situation called Calcasieu.
- Derrick
Missed my chance to eat Besh's cooking when he was part of a recipe development project I worked on. He is tops on my list for whenever I get to NOLA for a proper visit someday. I'm enjoying reading about your eating and drinking adventures in the meantime :)

I don't know if I thought of it as Cajun but cochon was great. The best meal the last time I was here was there.

If you live in California, Arizona, Las Vegas, or in the Houston TX area and grow fruit, keep your eyes out for your local CA Rare Fruit Growers' local dormant Scion Exchange. It's a great place to learn how to graft scions to your fruit trees and a great source of cheap scion wood. Much cheaper than buying a whole new tree!...

"In the week that Britain's high speed rail link closed down because the wrong sort of snow interfered with the engine's electronics, China unveiled the world's fastest train service on one of the coldest days of the year.Days after thousands of passengers were left stranded when Eurostar services were cancelled, China's new system connects the modern cities of Guangzhou and Wuhan at an average speed of 217mph - and it took just four years to build.The super-high-speed train reduces the 664-mile journey to just a three-hour ride and cuts the previous journey time by more than seven-and-a-half hours, the official Xinhua news agency said.Work on the project began in 2005 as part of plans to expand a high-speed network aimed at eventually linking Guangzhou, a business hub in southern China near Hong Kong, with the capital Beijing, Xinhua added. newsHome News Sport TV&Showbiz Femail Health Science&Tech Money Debate Coffee Break Property Motoring Travel News Home World news Headlines...

The Chinese Addiction China has attempted to, and largely succeeded, in exporting its way to economic growth via low labor costs. The rise of China has been spectacular and is, in almost every way, praise worthy. The Chinese economic system has grown steadily since 1949 with some scallops during periods of intense politicization, but has generally progressed regardless of who was in charge or which ideology was dominant. Since 1980, the Chinese GDP has averaged 9.8% annual growth.[10] More people were lifted out of poverty in the last half of the 20th century in China than ever before in human history, and in fact almost all people lifted out of poverty in the 20th century were Chinese. Many factors can be given at least partial credit for this success including Chinese savings (now running at 50 percent), direct foreign investment in Chinese export industries, a controlled currency, Chinese willingness to adapt their ideology to pragmatic conditions, highly-educated labor and equally...
