Very interesting. Thanks for the explanation. My hacker colleague who lives on the edge with DataMapper says Ambition-like stuff is to be included in DM. Is that related to your gem or a completely different activity?

While I spared my comments on Java on this thread, I was specially referring to the fact that Java's classloaders are braindead. You'll know some years in operations; as a dev you can be hidden from its ugly influence for quite a time.

I wish you having this freedom you're talking about on all your projects. The RL is that in most shops usage of appserver & Maven is tighly coupled to the high ends of pain, and you don't decide the next big thing that could replace e

I wouldn't call it hatred but rather lone voice of reason. Quite bitter, though.

You could say nothing, technically, but that wouldn't reflect real life situations and existing "best" practices. It's usually used to build deployments, CI, autodeploying and stuff. In fact for many operations tasks Maven cannot be decoupl

Many kinds; Java itself, and lack of stable dynamic redeploying without bringing the services down, despite being marketed otherwise. I'm talking about real life production configurations, not about what's possible on Joe R. Hacker's machin

While Java world doesn't lack appserver infrastructure (though they're not as good as they're marketed but that is another point), it lacks web programming paradigms which wouldn't be a PITA.

Whether OP's response was emotional or not, it touches the matter. Note it's very easy to look for fallacies when you are detached from the subject. The question is if the person doing this wants to make the world a better place in his way

Yeah that's a gain; besides, that's what we do right now. But! Please look around and check how many people prefer this kind of communication with distant people when in the same time they could communicate in a more valuable way with peo

Human contact isn't black & white, and there are tons of small important non-verbal things not only in fist fight or romantic dinner. Actually even a smalltalk carries lots of information of deep psychological value which is mostly beyo

It's mostly true. The point is that you belong to an enlightened elite who already know where to look for edited information. Back in 1995 there was no Wikipedia and search engines were crap.

Scanning thru the comments here looks like there are two of us who think most of OP's points were and are valid. I guess most of HN readers (including me!) are living in a comfort zone of carefully selected sites and services, but it doesn'

No. You both are wrong. Buddhist hell is not a place or something to believe in, but it's an explanation of a certain state of mind. The same for god. So it's not a tradition or something to believe in (btw it's nothing to believe in buddhi

This insecurity of dynamic linkage is a very interesting topic and I never considered it seriously before. Thanks for pointing it!

I totally agree. The OP came with a great way of simulating certain states of the external environment for the purpose of tests and completely independently of the implementation. This decoupling seems uber cool.

If you don't need sophisticated distribution, you can consider Redis or TokyoCabinet as alternatives.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying this to start a holy war... Try Ruby. It gives much more freedom than Python, not to mention countless way of shooting oneself in a foot (which you know already from the C family ;)

Another feature of gzip which may be your life-saver is that it keeps a record of the original size so you can know it without decompression. xz format seems to have this feature, but: $ xz --list xz: --list is not implemented yet.
