There used to be an open source Another World interpreter available called RAW, created by a guy called Gregory Montoir, which eventually shut down the project at the request of Eric Chahi (the creator of Another World) around the time when the game became commercially available again. The original project page is still on archive.org:

http://web.archive.org/web/20070124142934/cyxdown.free.fr/ra...

Eventually another project cropped up called New Raw, which as far as I can gather was a fork of the then deceased RAW, but it didn't go anywhere. You can still download the source, however:

http://newraw.svn.sourceforge.net

I remember dusting off my floppy copy of Another World years back and running it through RAW on Linux, it ran the game pretty flawlessly, with a bunch of added features like high resolution (the game is all vectors).

edit: corrected a link
The legality isn't stopping people from copyright infringement, so why would it stop them from working around blatant censorship? If anything, something as drastic as SOPA is likely to make breaking these laws even more socially acceptable, which is bad news for its supporters.
I keep seeing this sentiment around HN this morning, and I find it slightly irritating.

The point is that legislation like SOPA exists because corporate lobbyists introduced it. By punishing the companies that support the bill, we undermine the bill, and discourage others to adopt our side of the issue. Laws like SOPA are driven by money. When representative democracy fails to represent your view, voting with your wallet is a perfectly valid means of challenging policy.
Yes, I've written my own HN reader as well as other apps using iframes...and basically the situation sucks.

With a reader like this, you have two real options:
* Include regular iframes and risk an increasing number of sites opting out with JavaScript or (more politely) an X-Frame-Options header.
* Use <iframe sandbox> to prevent people busting out of it with JavaScript. But that stops all JavaScript, so apps and videos won't show up.

Pity. iFrames have so many great uses like this Reader. Browsers really need to deal with the clickjacking problem instead of forcing everyone to bust out of them and making sites like this unusable.
I'm surprised the bundling of open android OS with the closed ios and windows phone OSs got passed fact checking. I'm also surprised that someone who claims to be technical would make that mistake.

Either way the author, intentionally or otherwise, misinforms her readers about Android in this article.
I'm as anti-GoDaddy as the next person but let's remember that calling your representative will help the cause more than punishing a domain registrar.

Are you sure about that?
Is there a list of anti-SOPA registrars anywhere? Haven't been able to find one.
Ok, I'll dial back the snark and just be blunt. I think all your concerns about CoffeeScript are hypothetical exaggerations. I don't think you've written much CoffeeScript at all, and I suspect that if you did, you'd quickly see that your concerns are overblown. In theory, you could have thousands of lines in a single file, and two commits from a separate branch could cause an undetectable accidental naming collision. In practice, this rarely happens. Files tend to be smaller, merge changes do to tend to get scrutiny, and name collisions often have fairly obvious symptoms once you run your tests on the code.
A bit off-topic, but I wonder if anyone can comment on using software RAID rather than hardware RAID? I'd like to try it. I've been bitten by buggy hardware RAID controllers far too often (even high-dollar name brand gear). I know that all of the free *nix systems offer software RAID, I'm just curious how they perform.

Not hot spares (which you are right, don't reduce array repare downtime): hot swap (which can). If a hot spare gets used you still need to swap out the broken device (its replacement becoming a new hot spare).

Wether you are swapping out a replacement for an active drive or swapping out a dead drive with what will be a new hot spare (a drive that was previously the spare now being an active drive in teh array) whether you have hot-swap or not makes a difference. Without, you have to power down the array for a short time which in an environment that needs availability to be as high as possible could be an issue.

What's your time worth? “Can you keep the change and I can leave?”
Sounds like blaming the unemployed for being unemployed.

Sounds like accepting reality. Moral hazard is real, and this has been empirically demonstrated whenever a natural experiment presents itself.

(Note: I only read the first paper in detail, but the second is quite popular.)

Sounds like it's inviting companies to continue to profit while not hiring or rehiring their workforce a lower wage...making less, but probably paying the same living expenses.

A monetary or fiscal stimulus does the same thing - the only difference is that instead of making 10% less dollars, workers earn the same number of dollars but prices go up 10%.

The housing market is flooded with foreclosed properties going nowhere.

This is because regulations allow banks to mark properties to a model, rather than to market. This is also why banks are not foreclosing on a lot of deadbeats - they don't have to admit to shareholders that they took a loss until after they foreclose.

This is basically just a way for banks to cook the books, but for some reason politicians and regulators don't seem to care. Strange.

i'm not sure what your apps do but one method to promote them is to implement a referral service within your app.

For example if it's a game, maybe if the user refers 10 people they get some sort of credit in the game to help them advance etc. (however i'm not sure how you can track referals through app store. maybe someone else can chime in).

No Ice Cream Sandwich For Galaxy S And Galaxy Tab, Says Samsung
I'm honestly not interested in spending hundreds on moving domains. I stopped using godaddy for registration after that big game hunter bs a while back.

Comcast supports SOPA right? Is there a place to find alternative phone landline and Internet providers?
I think GoDaddy is outright wrong. SOPA/PIPA won't benefit GoDaddy at all. It will actually hurt them because less startups means less people registering their domain, and therefore less profits for GoDaddy.
People Are Different
Our DNS is in the process of being moved to Route53 (as it has been for a short while) and we're planning to move our domains to Namecheap or another reputable registrar shortly (which we have actually also been thinking of doing for a short while as well).
Yes, very deceitful way to gain "supporters". I just wonder how many companies on that list were duped into signing something like this.
Glenn, there is a big difference between censoring and censuring. What Paul did was censure.

Also, Paul's justification for not allowing SOPA supporters to go to Demo day makes financial sense as the primary advisor to the YCombinator companies.

Demo Day is primarily an event for investors and others interesting in furthering the success of those companies in his portfolio. It's a high demand event, and in order for Paul to keep the best interest of his portfolio companies in mind should only invite those people who will add the most value.

Anyone supporting SOPA clearly is supporting an action that is at best not relevant to a company in his portfolio and at worst downright bad. This doest just apply to current YCombinator companies but all future companies.

This bill does nothing but does nothing but give old businesses that have ceased to innovate a stick with which they can beat the innovative companies with. If you are in the business of innovation, you'd censure such people too.

I challenge you to go get anything Paul has said on this matter (ref: http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=pg ) and try to show that he is being a bully and not simply supporting and promoting the most rational economic decision as someone on the change/innovation side of the economy. The law should never be used to determine winners and losers. It should be there to protect the public while letting the markets decide who wins and loses.

This post smacks of taking the tone of articles written by journalists expressing the journalists' own viewpoints and extrapolating those viewpoints to be extensions of Paul's intent.
Microsoft has got all kinds of issues, but I haven't seen them push SOPA at all. They could be more vocal against it, but so could every tech company.
I upvoted you but I felt strongly that I should reply too. What you say makes a ton of sense and is worth keeping in mind, especially "constructive criticism delivered in an ugly way". Thanks.
You know, I kind of expect Google to ditch GoDaddy. Because it is the right thing to do. And Google is usually about doing the right thing.

(Disclosure: I used to work for Google. I don't now so I have no reason to sing their praise, but Google have always been a few notches above the competition when it comes to trying hard to do the ethical thing)
This is a disturbing trend of on-line entitlement that really needs to be nipped in the bud.

Here's the thing: you bought the video from Louis CK. What he does with the money is his business. He's not "donating 28% of your purchase to charity", he's spending _his_ money.

It stopped being _your money_ when you bought something from him.

If he decided to spend 100% of his money on hookers and blow, what business is it of yours? It's his money, not yours. It doesn't become yours again just because he decides to tell you how he spent it.
This thing existed very recently, where did it go?? http://www.betabeat.com/2011/08/08/rolling-fm-yeah-we-copied...
Seriously, do you even know what you're talking about? init does not start systemd at all. systemd replaces init, in a way that I can even select whether I want to use the traditional init or systemd, on boot time, with a kernel option.

And have you seen proper systemd integration? I installed Fedora lately, and man, that boots fast. Fedora solves so many things in a sane way that Ubuntu has been struggling since years. usplash, xsplash, splashy? Fedora has FDO's plymouth. Guess what, it works. SYS V init, the stupid Arch init, ubuntus upstart? Fedora has FDO's systemd, and it's faster than any of those.
Compiler optimisations aren't always designed to be semantically equivalent - for instance options which control floating point behaviour, like -ffast-math in gcc.

That aside, sometimes compilers themselves have bugs as others have pointed out (I found one once involving a combination of python, boost, exceptions and the Intel C++ compiler - which only happened at -O3, not at -O2). Or you might not be able to use certain settings because it would be incompatible with some thirdparty library that you don't have the source to.

Re: the size, the technical achievement is in managing all the content, how you interact with it and how it interacts with itself, etc. It's doing quite a lot of I/O to pull in the right assets at the right time - not to mention some computational geometry to figure out which are the right assets; running lots of AI for the creatures & NPCs; balancing memory usage between RAM & VRAM; simulating a night & day cycle, with weather too; rendering it all in (usually!) less than 30 milliseconds; and more besides. I certainly don't mean to play down the achievement of the artists involved, but don't underestimate the technical side either!

I think if your app is inexpensive and has some good offers as in-app purchases this could work well. Similar to what DropBox did for extra storage.
Feel free to differentiate between bug types for an audience which has purchased your software. I am sure they'll be fascinated by your explanations.
Sure he could, but things like that happen all the time. Countless people start forks and new projects every day, while they could improve the existing ones (the world is full of examples).

I have this darwinian vision of the software world where it's extremely positive to experiment with new stuff. Only time will tell which things surpass the test of time.

Attacking someone publicly this way just because he doesn't contribute to your¹ favorite project is, in my opinion, a sick thing to do.

Agreed. It's like Bootstrap with a responsive design. Frankly, I think Bootstrap is prettier out of the box, and it's getting a responsive design in 2.0 which releases "soon".
I've been wanting to move away from GoDaddy for awhile now. I only went to GoDaddy in the first place over 10 years ago because they were the cheapest place. Since then, their prices have risen, their interface has become horrible, their up-selling has become unbearable, and their TV advertisements annoy me.

I believe that their support of the SOPA could be looked at as their last straw for me. I'm planning on moving all of my domains on Dec 29 unless they change their stance on SOPA. However, even if they did change their stance I don't think it could really save me as a customer considering all of the other aforementioned issues.
There really is a meme here I think, and it relates to ego.

Having said that, I definitely do think there is truth in massive variations between programmers, though I personally think that is a combination of a small pre-requisite talent (the ability to code at all, which I think a surprisingly small amount of people have - simply a genetically determine brain configuration), and mostly attitude + hard work.

For example, I took part in the recent Stanford AI class, though not about programming specifically, I was utterly down-heartened when I heard they sent out those 'send me your CVs you clever people!' emails to the top 1k students, it just made me feel like a lot of people were taking part in order to participate in a 'look how much cleverer I am than you' pissing match.

That kind of things ruins the collaborative 'learning for the joy of learning' side of things and has a tendency to make the whole thing into a sort of nasty elitist thing. I really wish they hadn't done that (N.B. I did fine on the course - 98.7% - so this isn't sour grapes).

The biggest problem with anything like this is the idea that 'here is some test of inherent intelligence - I am far better than you so you are inherently unable to do this thing' which is just the biggest barrier to actually trying to do something - if you think you inherently suck or at least are simply mediocre, your motivation to do that thing is severely reduced.

or perhaps I'm just ranting/projecting here :)
The patient's mind no longer works, making suicide impossible. We aren't given enough detail about the earlier stages to know what choices she faced earlier, but being the mother of very small children would have complicated the issues around suicide considerably.
And I am tired of the 1970 Unix mindset, don't fix what is not broken. Can we please have filesystems with a consistent encoding, like in Plan 9 or, woohoo, Windows? Or do we really need to support a mixture of Shift-JIS, EUC-JP, CP-850 or whatever else an application chooses to use?

You could just get the .com zone file and scan them with a load of proxies for godaddy dns servers etc. Or write some Seti alike tool so more people can participate. [Place here spam warning]
I absolutely agree.

In last night's debate, my son's stance was that financial transactions were win-lose, and that in order for the 1% to get rich, the 99% had to be worse off. Therefore it is right to "penalize the 1%".

Louis CK seems to pose a counter-case to that logic. I'd argue that most, if not all, voluntary financial transactions are win-win. So "penalizing" is not appropriate. The 1% aren't inherently evil just because they are in the top 1%.
Glad I've already moved all of my hosting to a different party years ago. I used to use GoDaddy for hosting and what a pain that was. Their shared hosting was just horrific for me.

Put this on your holiday to-do list: discuss with your family when you want to the doctors to give up.

I know that doesn't sound fun, and I know the holidays seem like the wrong time, but there's never a right time. Do it now.

I just went through the cancer-to-hospital-to-hospice transition this fall with my mom, and I am immensely grateful that we had all talked about what we wanted. And then put it in writing, with a living will and a durable power of attorney.

At some point a team of doctors may turn to the person you love best and say "What should we do?" Don't make them guess.
I don't like the use of the word monad in the sentence "The bind operator, >>=, makes a "bigger" monad out of a monad m and a function f (which yields a monad when applied to a value)." (I think all his other uses of the word are correct, but I didn't check carefully.) People love doing this sort of thing and it always annoys me, a typical example is people calling individual blog posts "blogs", or indivdual podcast episodes "podcasts".
Great great step by step guide. Did you guys do that inhouse or used a framework? I'm in need of similar feature. Good job on the design, it looks great. I think I had similar problem with the fb import, once it kicked back from FB, it showed me "Oops.. Plannr is currently in private beta and your details dont seem to be on our beta list. Add your name to the signup list below, and we will contact you as soon as we have a spare invite. If you think you deserve to skip the queue drop us an email to beta@plan.nr and tell us why!"

Entrepreneurs Don't Take Risks (Malcolm Gladwell)
A little off topic but somewhat relevant: When someone asked Larry Wall why there aren't any Perl certifications to classify the experts, he replied "I'm not going to tell people whether they're certified or not. My approach to language design has always been that people should learn just enough of the languages to get their jobs done. They shouldn't have to learn the whole language to begin with. But with certification, you have to be learning the whole language."

In my own experience, this is especially true if you're self-employed / startup guy. Am I a great PHP coder? Not by a long shot. Does it in any way affect our user-experience or how much money we make? Again, not by a long shot.

I'm not sure that people just with SSL certificates should be the easiest to move.

Depending on what type of SSL you've got, it could be a huge pain, or just a lot of money.

We've got an EV SSL Certificate, moving that would take some money, a big chunk of time, and more money to pay our lawyer to write the fancy letters they require. The process is several days long (likely longer now, our lawyer is on a beach somewhere I'm sure), and will require us to restart all our webservers.
They should just try to eliminate the bezel. That would remove a lot a real estate and weoght.

I think you threw the baby out with the bath water there. You've started boycotting Google, who's one of the most vocal opponents to SOPA, because one of the default options they give for domain registration for Google Apps accounts is GoDaddy, who supports SOPA.
With many credit card issuers, you can simply call in advance to let them know you'll be traveling. Every time I pick up foreign currency at my bank (Royal Bank of Canada) they remind me to phone the credit card department and let them know when and where I'll be traveling to avoid any difficulties.
I think pulling that off (the skip the line for coffee trick he writes of) without coming off as an ass would be difficult. But, at the same time, it could be argued it's the people that don't care how they come off and just go for their gold are the ones that really succeed.

I was basing my comment on this earlier comment from HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3245520
I've tried actively thinking in terms of time-is-money before. It helps when you're in analysis paralysis, to force yourself to just make snap decisions and do impulse buys every once in a while (which often end up being the decisions I'm most happy with). It doesn't help at all in just about any other case. People have a limited amount of mental energy to spend each day. "While I'm wasting my time doing X I could have actually been doing the more productive Y" is usually a lie.
The title is kind of confusing for me, it makes me thing Wikipedia.org agrees with GoDaddy, not that its domain is registered in GoDaddy.
