Bash is good as a system shell. For interactive shell, zsh/fish/... wins.

That's why I only learn Bash. One lesson for everything for both purposes ;)
Because from a distance it actually doesn't seem like so much work. The assets get crazy expensive, but they already had that covered. 3D collision detection and resolving is a solved problem, you can just get off the shelf components (for free), the real problem isn't gettin the game to work, the problem is in the polish.

Jumping over fences, AIs chasing over 3d terrains, making sure people don't get stuck in random stuff. Everything needs weird edge-case stuff that's not in a generic physics engine.

Perhaps they should've first made a 3d game with 2d physics, those games look great and the overhead is much more manageable. But hindsight is 20/20 and from what I've gathered they actually got really close to a great game.

Possibly, but is "socializing" children what school is for? Is a homogeneous society where everybody has a similar "socializing" experience really what we want?

http://www.sethgodin.com/sg/docs/stopstealingdreamsscreen.pd...

I always thought it was for learning. I would rather my child have an excellent education and potentially have some adult social lessons to learn as an adult than to be well socially integrated and poorly educated.
tl;dr; no argument but have a platitude.
I'm curious to see how TVMVA (http://tmva.sourceforge.net/) would stack up
I don't believe this is true. I attended a total of 7 different schools in 4 different cities in 2 different states during my primary/secondary education. Only one of these schools was notably non-diverse. I was very often exposed to children of other cultures/attitudes/backgrounds, as well as other ages. It is possible that my experience is exceptionally different, but it doesn't seem like it.

I tried to find some research on this, but unfortunately everything I find is an aggregate across all schools, rather than diversity within each school.
I would stick with having zencaster.com redirect to zencastr.com, and keep your current name/trademark. I think this is a fair compromise and probably your best bet.

For what it's worth, I prefer Zencastr over Zencaster.
It says they are in bankruptcy and the IP for the game is for sale (no doubt to pay down what they borrowed). Someone else could buy it up and build it, but not them (unless they could come up with cash for their creditors)

I have experience with co-ops in Texas (a homeschool-favored state) and Iowa (moderately difficult to homeschool legally). In both states, the co-ops are resources for the parents more than the children. Once-a-week classes are normal but function more as a social hour; the bulk of co-op funding (i.e. dues) goes to teaching parents how to teach their children.

You're conflating the idea of copyright violation and plagiarism. Copyright violoation is violating someone's exclusive right to control a piece of original content. Plagiarism is claiming someone else's ideas as your own. Ideas are not protected by intellectual property law, although plagiarism is usually also fraud. You can avoid commiting plagiarism by adding a citation. A citation basically states "These ideas were not originally mine, I got them from so-and-so".

You're usually not going to want to reproduce so much of a work in your research that copyright law would come into play (you can legally paste a few sentences from a book on your blog IANAL). Often though a research paper fits into a category protected by fair use so you can anyway.

But you can't reproduce and distribute an entire piece of copyright protected work just by providing a citation. I hope you haven't done this. If you have, you should take everything down. Do not apologize to the copyright holder. Talk to a lawyer.

It seems the memory issue with "docker" daemon hasn't been admitted/resolved. (See https://github.com/docker/docker/releases/tag/v1.8.0)

In all of my deployments, "docker" daemon memory keeps increasing. The worst case is 37% in a 512MB instance in Digital Ocean. Then docker daemon crashes...

That's to say, congratulate but I don't really want to upgrade ... :(
My Xiaomi Mi 4i on normal mode snaps the shot when you touch the button.

I discovered this accidentally by taking a series of 12 shots, expecting the normal Android screen freeze and thinking "damn, the camera app is broken", then noticing that the "gallery" kept changing slightly.

This is a lot of fun with Google Photos as once the photos auto-upload, Google will usually stitch them together into a sort of gif (could be a gif for all I know, I never checked the file type). So you can still have a "movie" even in occasions where you don't have time to get the camera out and switch it to movie mode.

1. In this case an API request would be GET and POST of data.

2. I'm looking for a range here. And this is just gathering data from an app. So on the high end think Candy Crush. On the low end, your everyday lower tier app.

I recognize the API design is a choice, but in this case I'm looking to find out how many API requests would typically be made to gather data for the most popular app vs. an everyday run of the mill app.

Thanks again!

What suprises me is how often Bash is being used as 'the shell' and software projects use it, even when they could simply call /bin/sh instead. This is particularly bad for people who port software to other platforms (where BSD systems dont come with Bash, for example) and have to deal with pure shell scripts calling Bash. One recent example is CoreOS/etcd that's currently dropping Bash in favor of Sh, because they simply didnt need it.

Bash is a shell, but Bash is not the shell!

A Minimal Architecture for General Cognition [pdf]
Don't be depressed. This is normal. All memories are subject to gradual decay. The best way to prevent this decay is by reviewing and testing yourself on the material you want to remember. Unless one reviews or uses specific knowledge regularly, corresponding memories will fade on courses taken, books read, bugs fixed, technologies or languages learned, code that's been understood (read) or written, etc.

If you only spent a few weeks working on that new project, then you probably didn't spend near the amount of time Bill Gates spent writing, thinking about, and reviewing his Altair BASIC code. Even though he whipped up his code in less than a month or two prior to the first MITS demo, he likely spent weeks or months after that demo modifying and polishing the BASIC interpreter for subsequent releases. You didn't mention your experience level, but Gates' years of prior programming experience likely benefited him as well, providing him with a nice cognitive framework to which lots of these facts could "stick."

One additional thing: when Gates says he still knows the source code for Altair BASIC by heart, it probably doesn't mean "completely, line-by-line" by heart. I'm guessing it means he still remembers some snippets by heart, or that he believes he could re-write it from scratch from memory (which would still be exceedingly impressive).

I have another conjecture. I think liberals are people who have a very inclusive ingroup, potentially including everybody on Earth; while conservatives have a smaller or better defined ingroup (e.g. Americans).

From this follows that there is only one type of liberals, but many types of conservatives (depending on their ingroup). So the view of liberals and conservatives to the others is different, because conservatives tend to perceive liberals as just another group that has them as outgroup, which is confusing to liberals.

I think in fact it's similar with religion. Atheism is often understood by religious people as another form of religion, but it isn't in fact, it has a unique position among all the types of religious belief; like liberalism is just an edge case of all possible conservativisms.
Digressing a little from the central topic -- Yeah, it's actually amazing how hard that message is to get through. And you even see a dichotomy where the HR side of a company will understand that and will go out of it's way to hire experienced people and retain them, but Product/Project Managers will completely discount them to the point of driving experienced people out of a business when the knowledge and experience says "Build it X way or you're in a world of hurt a year from now. I lived that once and I don't want to live it again."

Or, put another way, "Security is not a feature the business needs at this time in this PII-heavy project."

How is that squandered money? It's great that Flanders supports their game dev community. Why is 60k a lot of money for preproduction? It's absolutely peanuts. And yes, they actually managed to employ game developers and gave them valuable experience that most definitely is good for the Flanders games industry.

Teflon is inert as far as we know, but I wouldn't be surprised if DuPont knew of some subtle problems caused by Teflon in human bodies.

A big part of the problem is scaling. Something I read in the past day or two about "Theories of Everything" made the point that (some|many|most) professional physicists are often inundated by requests from amateurs to review their stabs at a ToE. But if you're a professional, you don't have time to give every such request a thorough review, and still have enough time to do your own work.

I am as uneasy with credentialism as anybody, and I think we need to find better ways around these problems, but it's important to understand that at least some of this community exclusiveness stuff actually serves a purpose.

Almost all of my computer science classes had two grading schemes - one "normal" one and another which was basically just taking your grade on the final exam and not counting anything else. That latter option actually saved me one time, but that's because I was astronomically lazy in that class and didn't do anything (didn't even show up to some quizzes, I think, when two quizzes added up to an exam). I definitely think that giving students the option is good, though, because if you asked me which I'd want I will always choose the small incremental tests over one huge test.
Yes. Maths cranks are extremely common. If you have an academic maths email, you're likely to receive crank emails with some regularity.
I have no experience with this but I assume they would just go off of everything except GPA. SAT / ACT / AP scores, extra curriculars, personal projects and achievements, and essays.
Cranks are sometimes hard to recognise. Ramanujan seems like a crank at first glance.
This illustrates why having a website for your project in addition to a repository may be good policy. The website can be SEO'd to rise in search results and as a landing page. It can always link to the "official" project repository on Github: or, because it removes a dependency, someplace else. A readme.md is great, but all of them are equal.

Of course having a website doesn't prevent someone from cloning and adding their own website and beating your version on Google, but at that point the other party clearly has some level of commitment.

If you're hell bent on contacting people cloning your project, a better approach is to ask how they are using the code and if there's any way you can help. I don't think asking people to fork is going to get your project much good will. It's mostly bureaucratic make-work for your benefit over a concern that's not proven to exist in the wild.

Good luck.
Properly estimating is probably one of the hardest things to do in our field, specially so if you are starting a product or company where you have to go with your gut for a lot of the decisions. I think the key to survive this is not so much learning to get estimates right, but being prepared for them to be wrong, that's probably why the "multiplicative factor" gets thrown around so often. The good thing is that the more experience you have at estimating things wrong, the better you'll become at guessing what the "multiplicative factor" should be. I started with 10 a few years ago, nowadays it's down to 4 :)

I really truly don't understand why people this this is an ethical issue at all.

I personally own 12 personal domains, all for various content that I personally put up. Some blogs, some game servers, etc, etc. I don't charge for my content, and I don't advertise. I'm not in it to make money, I'm in it to share things with people, and I do it all out of my own wallet.

Why is there this assumption that all content needs to be subsidized by the readers? I mean, I get it... there's certainly value in compensating content producers for their time, and even allowing them to do it full time... but there is SO much content out there that is basically put up out of the goodness of the creators' hearts. Why can't we keep it that way?

Very surprised to see no other comments related to Vive. Search and you'll find rave reviews of the Vive, which apparently launches this Christmas, and made the incredible decision to natively support full-room (15x15 feet) virtual reality. I can't find a bad review for this thing.

Valve probably negotiated one heck of a deal, but fact remains that HTC finds themselves in an existential strategic partnership with one of the strongest, most capable high-tech companies in the world. Valve is surely committed to the Vive and HTC couldn't dream of a better partner. This matters more than you'd think from the coverage of HTC's troubles.

It is absurd to take extreme practices done by others and use them as evidence of our own character.
Did you apply to the correct comment? Your post doesn't make much sense. We are talking about standards not code. Code is an implementation of the standard, and the license of the code is irrelevant to the status of the standard.

Forking standards is completely different to forking a codebase. It should be obvious why.
Nutanix XCP Running the Acropolis Hypervisor Verified as Citrix Ready
I'm glad public money is spent on this. 60k is nothing on the scale of public money and is certainly peanuts when it comes to game budgets. And honestly, while it didn't sell well (and the market certainly is tough right now), the game in itself is not bad. It lacks polish and would have benefitted from a bigger budget but it's not a bad showing.

Tale of Tales is another example of a studio who produced some very interesting games in term of Art. The path was a very interesting game and as influenced quite a few other games.
I don't know about the US, but at the same public government-subsidized university in Canada, Engineering/CS costs 3x more than humanities.

Granted, the more just and commensurate judgement that lumberjack rightly seeks must be paid to the world as a whole, with the workers' share being a function of their damages, as you said. My point is you are focusing on the technical and completely ignoring the moral cry for justice expressed by lumberjack.
It is absurd to take extreme practices done by others and use them as evidence of our own character. Much of the pro-US propaganda points out bad things about other nations or their leaders (note the recent "Why are China's cities flooding?" headline in the Economist) as a way of making Americans not question their own way of life.
We just ported an AAA game with a team of 6 programmers and barely made it through with massive delays. The game was already feature complete and bug free when we got the source, all we needed to do was port it to mobile devices.

It's so easy to underestimate the work to be done, graphics easily break when you change the underlying hardware and renderers, gameplay had to be adapted to touch controls, etc. It didn't help that our estimate multiplier was only 3.

All of this gave me a much greater appreciation of the work you guys did at Naughty Dog.
