There are many things I dislike about Monopoly but the randomness isn't one of them. A good deal of games I love have a big chunk of luck/randomness and I'm fine with it.

The things I dislike about Monopoly:

* Not too much strategy involved. The player who wins is usually the one who buys a lot of lands early.

* It's long. Even the shortest games last over 90 minutes. However the winner is decided much earlier in the game. There's very little you can do to prevent an early leader from taking the game, and you have to sit there watching them bully you slowly for several hours.

* The theme sucks. "Buy land, make more money". I don't find that particularly fun.

* The good elements of monopoly are often found in other games that don't share the same bad elements (I'm thinking of Settlers, but there are others too).
Quite a few very influential people thought so, as well. They are being executed on disciplinary charges (ie. corruption).

For the DB use postgres to save licensing costs. I would be more adamant about the DB decision than the language. It's nice to be able to deploy unlimited postgres DBs on as many servers as you need without breaking the bank.

In the future you may have ancillary services/apps better off using a separate DB for performance. DB licensing costs will influence your design decisions so remove those costs from the equation.

C# is fine though (even on linux) and will give you reasonable performance, likely better than node.js is most cases.

Tabs beat spaces in every single way;

- only press a single key instead of tapping 2 or 4 times.

- alter their width within your IDE to suit your preferences.

- they are "designed" to intent a piece of text with unlike spaces which are "designed" to break words.

But use whatever you like as long as it's consistent :)
Sounds like an accurate description of a ponzi scheme.

When it's compiled, isn't the user just interacting with a nice binary? Among languages that compile to binary and have a nice standard library for http requests, I'm not surprised that somebody choose Go.

And if you want to talk about portable, I think people would rather work with Go than shell.
No.

Encryption is designed to be irreversible without a specific piece of extra data.

That isn't the same as not knowing the formula or initialization seeds used. Those are both reversible.

Hey romanhn - did you contact support and try to make it right by reversing the chargeback?

This isn't about blackmail as jewsin writes in the comments, it's about the reputation a business suffers with a chargeback. All you would need to do is reverse the chargeback and the full charge would go away.

I'd exclude breast cancer because it's detectable with non-medical means before it becomes fatal. I also wasn't speaking so much about medical incidence statistics, but more about perceptions.
If you have a classical desktop interface where you reach 100+ widgets (which sounds like a lot but is easily reachable with just a toolbar, some buttons and a form), the difference is noticeable when interacting even on recent hardware (i5+).

For example, since I work in visualization, I often tie data widgets to the GL canvas in order to provide realtime feedback. I also use Qt5 in order to provide keyboard accelerators. With QT5 the rendering latency grew so high that I couldn't provide realtime feedback anymore, and I had to batch requests (and finally reverted to Qt4).

Incidentally Qt5 widgets can be used in a GL context directly, but are way too slow to render and manage events to be used consistently at 60 fps (they're not designed for that, so their scope in this sense is not as broad as it can really be). It's actually faster to give them their own GL context in order not to interfere with your pipeline, which kinds-of defeat the point.

I've also found that the additional JS glue doesn't provide any benefit unless you go entirely QML.
> That said, I do think there is one popular game that gets very little respect from (at least western) game enthusiasts: go

I guess I would have to disagree with your characterization of go as not respected. I've never heard any of the game enthusiasts I know talk about go in anything but the same reverent tone you use to explain why you like it. Who are you hanging out with?
On the face of it that's not very practical indeed, but that doesn't mean it isn't necessary in real-world scenarios. You don't always control the applications behind your nginx reverse proxies and can't always enforce correct behavior from them. They may come from a separate group which you can't easily reach for political reasons or from some external vendor with its own roadmap.

This makes OpenResty a nice tool for operations/security, because you have enough control to implement workarounds when required without having to wait for external entities. Some of you may cringe at the notion of implementing workarounds, but that's standard practice in any corporate setting. The alternative is just worse and you learn to live with it by calling it "application firewalls".

The other nice thing about OpenResty is the flexibility gained from separating scaling/infrastructure logic from application logic. And this got even better in the last relase of the Lua module by allowing custom balancing logic in upstream blocks without having to hook into header_filter_by_lua or something like that to manipulate the URL to feed into proxy_pass.

Finally, there's microservice (or microapplication) architectures, where your big application is really a bunch of smaller applications being glued together by logic in nginx (something like Edge Side Includes but nicer).
It wouldn't be surprising that e is not normal. After all, it's continuous fraction is regular ([2; 1, 2, 1, 1, 4, ... 1, 1, 2k, ...]), while for a true random number there wouldn't be any pattern to it.

Like I said, it doesn't matter which one bills more.

The school almost certainly won't get grad students if it doesn't offer any graduate level courses.

A graduate program with poorly trained students is not going to get the bigger grant funding, if only because the research is likely to be less advanced.

It's even more profitable to have a class without a teacher, where people simply get a degree in exchange for money and bypass all the intermediate work. These are called diploma mills.

I guess it is true that the time it takes to lose is the real issue. Still, I played a lot of Monopoly as a kid. Nowadays it wouldn't be my first choice for a game evening, but I have brought it out occasionally for my preschool kid. I make him calculate change money, which he doesn't always like. Even Chutes and Ladders can be great fun for kids, and they can practice counting.

I think the boardgame geek top list is a bit biased, because it was made by gaming geeks who might tend to prefer complicated game mechanics.
What makes you think that "modern economists" are more likely than the average person to (i) want to make us all into farmers and kill off intellectuals and (ii) have any chance of succeeding? All the available evidence would suggest that economists are disproportionately unlikely to favour agrarian dictatorship and no better placed than the average person to succeed.

In fact "unlikely to favour large scale social engineering backed by force" is about the only thing Austrian economics has in common with mainstream modern economics...

Spaces are more consistent than tabs.
https://www.jwz.org/doc/tabs-vs-spaces.html
We really shouldn't get into this, but I can't help myself.

- Every single text editor that's come after notepad.exe has had automatic tab/space conversion. Pressing tab inserts N spaces, pressing backspace un-indents N spaces, etc.

- In some languages, this is not a feature. 2-character tabs, using two tabs to indent for alignment:

var myVar = 1,
otherVar = 2,
anotherVar = 3;

Opened later in an editor using 4-character tabs:

var myVar = 1;
otherVar = 2,
anotherVar = 3;

- {}[]<> and more aren't used for anything close to their original literary intent.
I love Gandi because they live by their motto: No Bullshit.
I don't believe they do, because the death rates just aren't that high. Population-limiting factors for Humans have historically been mostly food supply and childhood diseases. I've heard that Malaria wasn't so much of a problem until people where driven into malaria-infested areas due to population growth.
Not really a gotcha. Some TLDs require that early renewal and one month is how we handle to avoid any disconnection in service. But yes, if you move away after a domain is renewed (e.g. your domain expires in 2017, most registrars -- but not all -- will add a year to renew in 2018).

Rather than spending their time clearing out their rubbish I think most people would be better off learning to be more discerning about what they allow into their lives in the first place.
Okay, so I ran it with my backup account that I'm using to download stuff for free (those songs that require you to follow certain people on SoundCloud to get access to the download link), and I noticed something strange: apparently, I'm following the SoundCloud user named Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I then went to SoundCloud, logged in with the same account, opened up the list of the users I'm following, loaded until the end of the list, pressed Ctrl+F, typed in "fly", and no matches were found. I then went ahead and typed "spa", again, no matches were found. Then, I have started to be a bit suspicious about the app. Then, I started typing "Flying Spaghetti Monster" in the search bar on SoundCloud and immediately realized that I am indeed following a user named "Flying Spaghetti Monster", even though I absolutely don't see it through the list of the people I am following.

Talk about a bad user experience. I'm definitely not going to use their official website again.

Dictatorial decree is a valid solution to some debates, especially the neverending ones. I actually think it's one of Golang's best features, having a built-in "go fmt" tool that automatically applies an opinionated style guide, which makes it so every single Go repo I find in the wild has code that's formatted in the manner to which I'm most accustomed.
The player who wins is usually the one who buys a lot of lands early.

That's testable. Simulate a few tens of thousands of games based on some criteria (players always buy properties they land on if they can afford them, players will mortgage their portfolio to buy properties if it blocks another player, etc) and see if the person winning on round n where n is an early round is the same as the person who's winning at the end of the game. It certainly sounds like it's true. It'd be interesting to see how early you can abandon a game and still know who'd have won.
Tabs should never be used for lining things up, for that very reason. In your example, you've stopped 'indenting' and started 'aligning'. And it's only 'working' because "var " % 2 == 0; other language keywords will screw that up.
General Motors and Chryslers competitors didn't win from the bailout.
If you bail out a company that generates only losses for years it is pretty safe to assume that this is a bad investment. (Edit: would you invest in these companies? I doubt it)

I'm not saying that turnarounds are impossible (Apple) but what the government is in effect doing is to take resources (taxes) from viable entities and giving it to those that are simply not viable. (at least at the moment)

Or the government itself takes more debt to pay for it. Japans debt to GDP ratio is currently it 175% which is insanely high, this can't go on forever.

In my view the better solution would be to let these companies go bankrupt. The investors lose money, employees are let go but the resources will not vanish into thin air.

Someone else will buy it and hopefully build something more viable. Government can then reduce its expenditure and maybe even reduce taxes, which would also help in the long run.

Sounds expensive, though.
sqrt(2) has the CF [1;2,2,2,2,2,...] and yet it appears to be normal. Similarly sqrt(5) has the CF [2;4,4,4,4,4,...]

It's generally expected that non-integer square roots are normal, and yet they always have repeating CFs.

All that combines to mean that I would be surprised if e turns out not to be normal.

For the avoidance of doubt, I really genuinely was not meaning to accuse or insinuate. When I said I expected the answers to be "no" and "none", I meant it.

Still, the rules are the rules, and I'm sorry I apparently broke them. I will refrain from asking such questions in the future.

(I've just checked the guidelines and the FAQ and don't see any such prohibition. I see things like "be civil" and "avoid gratuitous negativity", but so far as I can tell I didn't violate those. Is there some other place where I could have learned that I wasn't supposed to say what I did?)
Well said. I see tabs as an accessibility feature.

Monopoly's lack of fun isn't because it uses dice.

Monopoly's lack of fun comes from the player elimination, which is a crucial part of the game. People dislike player elimination (because it feels mean), and include stuff to avoid it, (fines go in the middle and are collected if you land on free parking, for example). These house rules turn a 1 hour game into an interminable 5 hour slog.

If you have a group of people who are happy with the concept of player elimination, and who play to win, and you avoid the house rules, Monopoly becomes somewhat fun. But there are very many much better games.
This seems like a huge case of "implicit over explicit". Ideally if you import package foo, it shouldn't affect anything but foo.bar

> let's not forget that nodejs makes it easy to do the wrong thing

How exactly node.js makes it easy to do the wrong thing?

> While it's great to lower the bar to learning to program it also often results in great ideas that are poorly executed of which I think most of the nodejs community demonstrates.

What makes node.js lower the bar for programming? I personally find it not easier than C#. How is it different than, say, Python, in terms of difficulty? How is node.js community showing poorly executed ideas? Any examples or are you after FUD?

Stereotyping a community is the most unconstructive thing you can ever do to for this industry.
I’ve been working in the games industry for almost 8 years now and I can’t stand it anymore. Low pay, no benefits, poor work-life balance and no career progression.

Making games is fun and rewarding, but as a hobby, not a full-time job. Unfortunately it’s not that easy to leave that industry, at least for me... :/

Actually, "efficient" factories that don't face competitive pressures (i.e. that don't drop their prices) will have a lower multiplier.

Money spent on wages gets spent and circulated within the economy at a higher rate than money that is diverted towards profits (which tends to bid up the value of fixed assets in a demand constrained environment).

>the inefficient one consumes money that could otherwise be invested in more demand producing factories, employing workers in demand producing activities.

Well, if you assume that opportunities for "demand producing activities" (i.e. products which will convince the Japanese to stop saving at such a high rate) are plentiful then yes. In the 80s perhaps.

But they're not. The Japanese really can't be convinced to spend.

Interesting.

What exactly is each 'widget' when you say there are 100+ widgets? Each overall feature, or each Item within the feature?

In my photo editor I have a histogram of how many photos you've taken each day: http://i.imgur.com/7yAYsP9.png

The histogram is actually a ListView, and each delegate is actually not just the bar for each date, but also the background color, the highlight color for the current date, and the date text that's above each bar. Using model updating, it responds nearly instantly even though there are a thousand days in the view, and the source data is a big ol' SQLite query with C++ postprocessing.

I don't know if that's helpful to you, though. Would that count as one widget in your parlance?
Sounds to me like you're saying there's no objectively correct answer that works for all languages and situations, which I agree with.
It doesn't. You can go online and pay less than $30 for these tests, then drive to one of Quest or LabCorp's locations to get the blood drawn.

I suspect that what UCSF is charging Theranos includes a substantial markup on the actual test cost + overhead.
Yeah me too. Took me ages to realise you should use QAbstractListModel.
Today the population limiting factor for Humans seems to be women's education. No kidding, this seems to be the number one factor in birth-rates. The more education women are getting the less babies are born. And I am generally in favor of both, more education and less procreation.

thanks, these are interesting. Hutchison is a hoaxer according to your links (i.e. string was found in his videos of levitation), so perhaps his victims can be given a pass - seems he was pretty good at it, and in retrospect very bald-faced. In the interviews on Youtube that I saw, he seems quite calm and not at all like someone faking something. Still, you would think this possibility wouldn't be discounted by someone reporting scientifically outside his field.

(While writing this reply, I just noticed, how odd that one of your links has his name mispelled in the URL - in fact I had read all of the content of your links in my head in the same way you wrote it in your comment - but it's in fact Hutchison without an n, not Hutchinson.)
