Cooler, maybe.

But the fact that LDS employs a strategy that consistently results in catchy-sounding, hyphen-free and available domains does differentiate it.

Not to knock domainsbot.com, they do have killer matching algos under the hood (as you mentioned), I don't believe they have false-positives (rarely if at all) and they bring in aftermarket domains to results, but from a starting point like "game", I only get 2 suggestions in the .com namespace (no hyphens, permit related keywords, suffixes and prefixes).

LDS on the other hand brings back 54 domains. I'm not saying all of them are gold, but I would certainly consider "gamegroovy.com" for a gaming related site.

This is likely the case for many other popular / high-value keywords, eg. cloud.

I think that branding is an exercise that requires a lot of creativity supported by a range of tools. LDS is very strong in its techniques.

It's worth pointing out that this law would allow monitoring of communications with a warrant.

The idea that communications can be monitored with oversight is not a new one. Law enforcement departments have been able to tap phones with a warrant for decades.

Edit: Hm, the article is actually a little unclear on whether or not a warrant is needed. At the top it says it is, and then in the middle it quotes a bunch of people saying it isn't...

I don't think that binary is necessarily a bad thing. It doesn't work in all cases, but one of the major reasons that people don't want binary is because of proprietary formats. If the binary format is open, it can be easy to write open-source/well-polished tools for debugging/viewing them. Maybe not as simple and ubiquitous as netcat or telnet, but it works.

The biggest downside is lack of easy transparency which can results from a format/protocol being proprietary, or just obscure to the point that no one remembers the details and the documentation is lost.
Oh, I'm sure Eton will still take care of that like they've done in the past. </snark>

Jokes aside, it's a fact that politicians cannot look further than the next round of elections. This is even more so for this particular government, which will likely be wiped out the map in large parts of the country as soon as people get the chance to vote. So they're trying to boost numbers in the short term, because in the long run they won't be in power anyway.

The funniest thing is that it's not even working: we're now officially back into recession, and as much as I love startupping, I don't think we can go from here to Silicon-Valley status in 6 months -- because that's the sort of scale the UK economy needs right now to compensate for the rest of the economy tanking.

No, Scala cannot optimize all forms of tail recursion (such as mutually tail-recursive functions). In that case, you have to use scala.util.control.TailCalls to do it via trampolines.

The proposed value classes in Scala do not solve the overhead problem for complex numbers. As specified in SIP-15, they have exactly one field, and basically are designed to give you information hiding for classes with a single field without boxing overhead.

Edit: By the way, you don't have to sell me on Scala. I have been using it since 1.x (I have forgotten the exact version number).
Yeah, plus, if you imagine it's got data retention or security requirements like other governments here. That can really knock up the price, especially if there are conformance tests in the contract.

Yeah, we don't need sales & marketing, art, fashion, good taste (I'd literally pay somebody to shop with me, if I didn't have a friend to help), good food, therapy, entertainment, fitness instructors... just coders. Yep.

You seem to be showing a really limited understanding of the value that is provided by the current and future workforce. It will shift towards creativity, rather than production, as production becomes more automated, but how is that a thing to be worried about?

Anecdotal:
I know somebody who recently took a five euro stool from IKEA, and some colorful marble chips, and somehow fashioned it into this thing with a mosaic of a rose on it. I'm usually indifferent to this stuff, but I've seen it and it really is awesome. This person is considering selling these online, and I think it is not the worst idea. What the hell does this have to do with coding? Designing the unique rose and choosing the colours and having the idea in the first place were the value adding parts.
"Since when did it become not OK to side with the FSF?" I'm sorry, but when did it become obligatory to agree with your world view. You were down-voted presumably because your comment was fatuous.

To be honest...I think this is one of the douchiest things you did. This is a friend trying to survive in this awful economy who asks for your help just to land the job and you couldnt help him? After that...he/whe was on their own. I hope this person never speaks to you again.
JSON looks pretty good even if it's a flat list, so I don't see a problem there.
Being someone who has only ever programmed in languages that use whitespace or parens, I really, really don't get the curly braces thing. :) White space is very readable and just as obvious a discernment of codeblocks as curly braces.

I think that ultimately it is a personal decision, and depends primarily on what sort of work you'd like to do.

If you were, hypothetically, a database engineer, and wanted to be the very best database engineer, then you would probably focus on your strengths. By shoring up what you already know, you can become the Michael Jordan of database engineers and command a premium.

The strengths are fairly obvious, in that you are building from a knowledge set you already have, and it might be easier to acquire more of that knowledge in a shorter time.

The cons are that you are at the vulnerability of the strength of the platform. If you were, for example, the best COBOL programmer in the world, the market opportunities are probably pretty slim at the moment (just guessing), but due to that rarity, you might be able to command more until the platform becomes completely extinct.

If you'd prefer to mitigate those cons, or if you prefer being the jack of all trades, then you may be inclined to work on your weaknesses, and start shoring up areas of knowledge somewhat tangential to your core. If you are currently a database engineer, this might mean learning a scripting language to automate tasks, or picking up on enterprise storage technologies to better understand the underlying platforms, etc.

Strengths to this are that you become more well-rounded, but at the expense of being the more thorough specialist.

Jobs may be easier to come by, but may not pay as well due to lack of specialty. In small companies, or more flexible roles, you may have the opportunity to shine more as you can touch on areas outside of your pigeonhole.

Anyway, just my thoughts, and all speak more to a core discipline than broadening skills into marketing, sales, etc., but probably apply to varying degrees.

yeah that's what I thought - it seems like they were fairly close to Yahoo before 2003 though ... providing their search results from 1996.
Yes, yes, yes. Discrete math is useful every single day as a programmer, unless you see absolutely no need to ever think about what's happening under the hood. Sets, combinatorics, matrices, and on and on. Everything I learned in my "discrete computational structures" course is directly applicable in my day-to-day programming life.
I got connected with the net in 1995. At that time we used Yahoo extensively. We jumped to Altavista a year or so later mostly because it had larger index.
I stopped at curiosity when I realized it was just too expensive. The data store is the big problem. Amazon S3 just slaughters it on price. The pricing is also unclear and hard to calculate, and leaves me with this lurking fear that I'm going to get surprised in a bad way.

Other than that, the app engine itself is definitely interesting. The idea of not having to manage your own infrastructure is appealing. If they could fix their pricing model and add a few features (better SSL support, ability to open raw outgoing connections, etc.) then they'd have something compelling.
I remember asking my parents for the age verification questions to be able to run LSL when I was a kid. I would head downstairs and ask her random trivia questions because it was easier than asking the Encyclopedia Britannica or what passed for the internet in those days. Obviously this day and age this is not possible due to Wikipedia, but in it's time and place it made me more likely to play rogue and/or do something productive with my computer.

Not sure if anyone remembers that aspect of it, but I still do.

If there was a moral story, it was lost on me at that age, and not likely to revisit it. Certainly better than Custer's Revenge, which is a horrifying concept and makes me very sad.

If you think that LSL is a good and relevant example of misogyny and bad attitudes towards women, then apparently you never turn on your TV, watch movies or look at at advertisements around you. A rehash of LSL is the least of our problems in this space.

People feel better when you treat them as people, not objects. This goes for men and women. We're all human and deserve a lot of respect and understanding.

Some people probably like the cheap thrills that the game offers, some are nostalgic, some may be interested in social commentary. This is all quite all right and healthy.

Sorry about that. I had my sound off when I saw it.
There's an entire class of web apps that works really well on GAE and despite the pricing changes can still be cheaper to run than the alternatives.

I'll put our own app out there http://www.eggtweeter.com as an example. It's the kind of app that needs exactly what GAE is offering in terms of scalability, requires no maintenance of any kind, we've never had to even think about infrastructure etc.

All that being said, yes there are compelling reasons to use another platform for different kinds of apps. We have some ideas for another web app that would be incredibly difficult on GAE and would probably fit in AWS or Heroku's stack better. But for what we need for eggtweeter, GAE seems to actually be a superior choice.

I think the fact that this is primarily a PC port with iOS/Android merely a possibility is a deal-killer for me, thhe content notwithstanding. I'm not saying that PCs aren't technically the largest gaming platform by user base...I'm saying that the largest base of casual gamers with money to blow by far is iOS and Android. From what I remember, LSL and Kings Quest were largely casual in mechanic.

Secret of Monkey Island and several of the modern Capcom adventure games (Phantom Detective) have made successful transitions. If this is being built from scratch, why is this not focused on what is clearly becoming the biggest casual gaming platform?
After PG's Startup Curve
What ever happened to the American arcade?
I recall at the age of 10, I was asked my dad to install LOGO because I was facinated about the idea of instructing a computer to do something. I didn't really use it that much and I had no concept of computer programming was. By the age of 11, I discovered something at my local library, reading a book called "The Beginner's Computer Handbook - Understanding & Programming The Micro". My eyes lit up because of the fact that anyone can create a space shooter game. I was noob back then. I didn't know what a compiler/interpreter was so I thought by typing BASIC source code into notepad, rename the txt file as exe, hoping it would run. Until I found out about Qbasic(My first programming tool) was on every copy of Win95 CD.

During my middle school years, I got more interested in computers, reading fat books about programming during english class. I made a couple of prank virus programs that I installed on other people's computers. I made a friend who was also like me but he wasn't much of a programmer. I got into computer hacking afterwards when he showed me that it was possible to disable desktop restrictions on the Library's computers, free to download at T1 speeds. So I wrote a program in Qbasic to automate the exploit. I eventually de-friended him as he wasn't a good influence.

There were two other people of influence, both had their own personal websites. That got me started on webdesign, and Java applets programming.(My first java app was an online chat server).

Later on I got into game programming starting with Darkbasic, BlitzBasic and now Unity.

Now at 25, I work as a Linux Sys Admin and SaaS Backend integration. My other hobby is building electronics using PIC chips.

Kids today can have a RaspberryPi to tinker with, I happy that schools are providing them the opportunity to get interested in programming, because in my time, I didn't have that and computer classes only thought how to use Excel and typing skills.

What I got from this is that Apple actually copies (or steals) the designs of Braun quite a bit. In fact it looks like they go out of their way to make similar designs to those of Braun.

I don't understand how a company who does that so often, is so aggressive towards others that do the same thing to them.
For at least 100,000 years, we've lived in a desperately poor world in which (to rip off Our Lady Peace) "every calorie's a war". We still live in one, if you take a global perspective, but we're moving out of such a state.

What do I mean by "desperately poor"? (I'm making a tall assertion since there's no economic comparison, at least none that we know of, to human history.) I mean that we're biologically programmed to rapidly exceed any carrying capacity. Economic growth throughout most of human history has been so slow as to be absorbed entirely in population growth, which has been great for priests and kings but terrible for subjects. Per-capita well-being almost hadn't changed (on a global scale; there were local ups and downs) between 10,000 BC and about 1840 AD. Technological advances were absorbed entirely into the task of supporting larger populations.

In a desperately poor world, you need to force everyone to work. People who aren't working are "lazy" and need to be punished. What most dictators actually want is to mechanize work: to replace these complex, difficult organisms (that sometimes break down and stop working) with mechanical ones without family ties, without belief in gods except the ones favorable to "the state", and without creativity or self-awareness or any desire for autonomy. That applies to ancient, semi-fictional dictators like Gilgamesh and it applies to modern, faceless dictatorships like 20th-century authoritarian communism. We're finally finding our way to the compromise, which is to use technology to create those mechanical workers (robots)-- because humans despise being treated as machines, and we're also really bad at the work they do well. Early computers were actually slower than human "computers", but had a lot more in the way of endurance.

Now we're moving toward a rich world and we're totally unprepared for it. We have millennia-old assumptions about peoples' relationships with work (that there will always be useful work for people to do, making it fair and reasonable to structure a society where everyone who can work must) that are about to become invalid, and none of our social structures are prepared for this change even on a national scale, much less a world one.

I'm starting to think we should just give stuff away. Instead of the IMF and World Bank putting these African countries into debt, let's just tax rich people a little more and pay people to build safe water systems. For free. There's plenty of infrastructural and environmental that the world needs, and if there aren't market incentives for people to do the right thing, then that's a perfect place for government to get involved: tax the rich, and pay underemployed Americans to do things that are good for the country and for the world.

For the record, world poverty is a complex problem and most of what we call "aid" isn't what we need to heal the world. Giving money to poor countries just makes their elites richer. We should be giving away water, medicine, technological access, and (most importantly) education.

Kinect-powered augmented reality
I must disagree here. Once you define complex enough text protocol, there are ways to mess it up, or be incompatible with. Say what you want about ASN.1 and similar formats, but if you have a correct parser, you know the values are exactly the ones you expect.

Real-life example I kept running into was SIP implementation. (think someone knew only HTTP and decided to create internet telephony) First, you have line length when parsing - some implementations will limit it, some won't. If it's limited, some implementations will allow you to wrap the lines according to the protocol. But then others will say it's too complicated and unlimited line-length is the way to go. Then you have alternative names for sip uris: you can say "me" <number@ip>. Or just <number@ip>. Or number@ip. Or <number@ip>;some_parameter. Or someone else decides to go with <number@ip;some_parameter>. Some parameters have associated values, some don't - guess how many implementations don't support both ways...

Before you know it, there's 1000 conventions and everyone supports some minimal common core, but fails for at least one other specific implementation.

So you say - there's always structured text - json/xml/... But look at the example in the blog post:

<dict>
<key>Bounds</key>
<string>{{25.4278, 76.3008}, {104.75, 91.8751}}</string>

So how long until someone comes up with implementation that doesn't use spaces between the numbers? What's the supported precision? What happens when one tuple is skipped? Do you have to parse exponential numbers correctly? How do you deal with duplicate keys in the dict?

I see the appeal in text formats and then remember... no - it's not the right way. JSON is a bit less-wrong than XML here, because you know what's a number, what's a string, what's a list. You'd probably do {'Bounds': [[25.4278, 76.3008], [104.75, 91.8751]]}.

Until someone comes out with a popular implementation that does case-insensitive matching for keys... and switches from 'Bounds' to 'bounds' in some version.
I'm not able to downvote so I didn't, but what if I'm not interested in a discussion about sexism in tech again. Most certainly not one that started of on the wrong foot, as the LSL games aren't sexist, at least not against women.
