IMHO it depends on the part of the project.

When you are building infrastructure (buisness logic independent), static languages are better, because most things are clearly defined, and change rarely, so overhead is small, and the code is general (few special cases).

When you build the real thing, that includes business logic, dynamic languages are better, because it's much easier to change business logic and add special cases on the fly. And there are always special cases.

That's why big projects written in static languages often have implementations of some dynamic language embedded, and when they don't, they use unholy mess of configuration files and dependency injection to achieve the same goal.

I much prefer intentionaly designed embedded dynamic language to writing implementations of factories and changing xml files.

To see how much dynamic your static code is count all the casts from Object, and all template classes instanced for Object (especially common are List<Object>, Map<String, Object>).

Writing infrastructure code in dynamic languages - I agree - it's harder to get right than with staticaly typed languages, and the benefits aren't obvious.
Recursive BIND 9 servers: remote denial of service, actively being exploited
What's the price for a 'drive all you want' public transportation card in SF or Melbourne? What are the requirements to buy one? Can I buy a card ~anonymously~ and just unlock it for a month, maybe even with cash?

What I'm trying to get to is: Is there a (illegal) business model possible, a la

- invest 'a few thousand Euros' for equipment

- buy and unlock such a card for a month/year (maybe with stolen details, if necessary)

- copy this card (3-7 hours are no problem, it's yours) and sell it on the black market

Impossible? Why?

Why not a Clojure stack ? Is Play itself, or Scala ?
Play framework is a breath of fresh air compared to other Java frameworks. The only disadvantage I can see is that allot of the features to make things simpler do seem to more tightly couple you to it.
That's a logical fallacy. Someone who has never been a stock broker in their life can still validly point out that a stock broker sucks when the broker squanders everything that person had on a foolish speculative investment regardless of how much blood, sweat, and tears the broker went through in losing their money.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter how tough the journey is if the product you put out at the end of the process sucks. I don't think it takes an entrepreneur to call out various "me too" social/mobile/local clones for being derivative and void of innovation. The world is a harsh place and effort has never been rewarded; all that matters is results.
A fun quote, for sure.

And of course there is a risk associated with being too clever for your own good. Which is where a good teacher comes in...

Unique Features Of Web 2.0 Logo Design Which Sets Them Apart From

Which is fine! I'm not ANTI-Fast Company. I'm also not anti-porn. Assuming it doesn't hurt anyone, people have a right to enjoy whatever they care to enjoy. Some people even enjoy TechCrunch.

People just need to understand what they're reading, and why they shouldn't place their trust in its realism. What I see here on HN all the time is a refusal to question the motives or background of the speaker/writer/what-have-you. It's considered ad hominem, a fallacy. But it's not. It's just good thinking.
To be fair, many regard that same social networking site to have been a critical factor in at least two of the Arab Spring revolutions.

I don't really like this attitude. It strikes me as a built-to-flip style of business. I'm personally not planning to get rich from one app, but rather I want to create a bunch of apps that serve various markets. Hopefully, at some point, I will capture enough market that I can quit my day job. But I don't expect any of my apps to ever be top 50 anything. Rather I'm hoping they're each one of 10 (first page) that come up when you search for a specific task.
Why do you think it's an important question? (I'm not being rhetorical)
Regards breaking the links, again, fair point. This is, in fact, possibly the only substantial problem. However, as I hinted in the proposal, this could be dealt with by the browser. Browsers are already full of hacks for legacy reasons, they could as well have one more which repairs the failed broken links by removing the superfluous dot.

I played AQ2 a lot (Still have that 'Lights, camera, action!' sound somewhere). I'm pretty sure that you _could_ see who of your team was dead. And in my experience, most of the AQ2 sessions happened on a lan party w/ a bunch of people in a BNC connected room full of machines anyway. Ventrilo... ;-p

AQ2 was nice, because

- no respawn while a round was active

- hit zones (head = bad, legs could break)

- bleeding (you need to bandage yourself, sometimes _fast_)

- instant kills were possible with ~all~ weapons. Standard pistol to head, one shot. Throwing knives (My favorite!) to head -> Dead. Knife to stomach? Chuckle, run - he's going to bleed to death w/ a 80% chance.

- equipment/weapon selection at the start of the round a la 'classes', but more free. Giving you stealth (no footstep noises), protection (armored vest), better/more weapons/ammo etc.

- nice variety of missions and settings
Will you migrate your projects to 2.0 or will keep them with 1.2.* ?

MIT: Mimicking the brain, in silicon
I just spent 20 minutes reading through the documentation and the changes look very good! I sometimes use Play for my own projects and I was very disappointed to not have been able to talk my largest customer into using Play when we kicked off two new projects 5 months ago. Oh well.

Play makes Java (or Scala) web development a light and fun experience.

I'm pretty sure you couldn't see which of your enemies were dead. Not sure about your own team.

Did you ever play the AQ2 Single Player mod? We basically put a bunch of standard Q2 monsters at interesting locations on the AQ2 maps so you could practice against them. Was quite popular after a while: a team of half a dozen people modding for pretty much every AQ2 map out there.

No, never even heard about that one.
I remember that we tried several bot implementations with AQ2 at that time, but quite frankly - they sucked. Either it was boring (since these guys were just too stupid) or impossible (if you add enough bots that 2-4 _have_ to notice you if you take down one).

Maybe I need to search for my installation of Q2 again and give it a try on a slow weekend day ;)
The problem is that to find the most annoying of these bugs using testing alone would have meant that so much time would have been spent writing tests that the productivity gains that you get writing in a dynamic language would have been nullified.
Something crazy is happening at Backify. Watch out
Last night I got a cancelation notification from Backify for their free service and a few hours later this came to my email:
"Dear <My Name>

We are writing to you regarding BACKIFY.COM who you recently created an online backup account with.

BACKIFY.COM was a reseller of Livedrive (http://www.livedrive.com). Livedrive provided the technology and service behind the product offered to you by BACKIFY.COM.

Probably the best thing I ever quit was my 4 months into my 12 month Honours year at university, I decided to change subjects. (Out of FPGA/HDL programming.. that just wasnt working for me)

Everyone I talked to told me I was crazy as they continued with subjects they didnt enjoy, but it allowed me to choose a subject I really loved and produce something way better than I could have on the original subject. Definitely worth it

You put in two years at your current place and they don't want to pay market, you will need to leave. I would take the $95k job but leave the door open. Tell them you are going to 'try' this new job because you need a change. People go back to their old jobs all the time. $4k is nothing, tell your new job you need a signing bonus to overcome some retention issues. If you think of the difference in salary as a $20k annuity for the rest of your career, the job change is worth maybe $400k. Your current coworkers will cheer you on.

Just got this now, I only registered to test it out (and used a random password since everyone was complaining about them storing passwords in plain text).

Interestingly the email sent to my from Backify said the service will continue operating till Nov 22nd.

Personally I use Backblaze for my home stuff, and LiveDrive for my work stuff (More features like file version tracking and briefcase)

Warzone 2100 is a squad-based realtime strategy game with no bases, resources or other distractions. The story isn't inspired and there is no in-mission saving, but I've had some fun with it. It's also been open-sourced. I'm not sure if it counts as "lately", though.

The "Omnipotence paradox" and its many variations are not a real paradox:

These all reduce down to "Greater Than Infinity" line of thinking. Clearly the actual premise is flawed, thus creating the so called "Paradox".

An Example (The Well Story):

A child finds a man near an old well. He observes the old man throwing stones down the well.

The child asks the old man how long it will take the stones to reach the bottom of the well. He Replies "It will take 4 blinks of an eye".

The next day the child finds the same old man at another well. He asks the same question. However this well is unlike the other, it is a bottom less well.

The child asks "How long will it take for the stones to reach the bottom of this well?"

The old man replies "child, this is a bottomless well. It is not that it will never reach the bottom. IT HAS NO bottom! Your question is wrong because your understanding of the well is wrong".
When I use my credit card to pay what I normally have to pay for each month (groceries, utilities, etc) I get money back (yes, a check in the mail). Dwolla can't beat that.

When I buy electronics with my credit card, I get an extra year of warranty, and buying protection. Dwolla can't beat that.

When I travel, or rent a car, I get insurance coverage with my credit card. Dwolla can't beat that.

When I buy anything with my credit card, and something goes wrong, I lose no money. None at all. Dwolla can't beat that.

Long live, Credit Cards!

I followed Patrick's formula and made a web application that lets women (I suppose men too, but every single customer seems to be female) create a very niche craft item that they could make in Illustrator if they had the skills or inclination, but that is dirt simple to do in my program.

I now receive glowing emails from customers telling me how much fun they're having and pictures from their weddings or parties. It feels good to make people happy with software.

I would recommend googling for "how to Illustrator $craft[i]" until you find one that involves eleven complicated steps, and then make a simple special purpose app to do the same thing in two steps.

I think so. If you're going to spend the better part of your life trying to make it big, at least make sure you keep the lion's share of the wealth you create, otherwise you could make the same amount of money with less risk (and blood,sweat, and tears) by working for a corporation as a highly paid engineer.

We've got different tastes, obviously, both in requirements for a game and music (;-p), but as someone that didn't like the Doom series all that much I think there are ~close enough~ similar games out there.
