When they say one player did this they mean a group of well coordinated players did this. It was done by a group inside goonswarm federation which is the something awful forums in game guild. They are one of the largest and most organized groups in the game and the regularly do stupid shit that tries to break the game. The figured this out almost immediately and racked up enough in game currency that they controlled a sizable portion of the liquid assets in the game. enough that they would be able to bank roll their in game operations for years without worry. This is when they finally publicly revealed what they were doing and the game devs had to step and tell them they could not keep the money. They devs did not figure out what was going on until the guys doing the exploit publicly described how they were doing it on the game forums.

Other shit goonswarm is known for doing is destroying ships in the games safe zones. The game mechanic is that in the safe zones there is NPC police that will kill anyone who attacks another player without consent. But the catch is that the NPC police have a response time that can be gamed. The response time is only a few seconds but a well coordinated attack can destroy a ship within that time. The attacking player still gets killed by the NPC police but they accomplish their suicide kill anyway. The goonswarm offers rewards to players to make it worthwhile to do these suicide attacks on players who sit in the safe zones and just mine resources in expensive ships. Making the safe zones no longer safe. They do this just because they can and they want to watch everything burn.

Not surely.
But you haven't yet answered Akamel's question of why this exists, with comparisons to the existing standards (OData in this case).

Everything I've seen just says that this is simply a subset of OData's functionality. And the features that are being asked for by users commenting on the OP are ones already provided by the existing standard.

And what about querying the data? There have already been questions elsewhere in this thread about how this would work. OData already provides very rich query support, including document projection (returning a subset of a document) through to complex queries navigating multiple relationships (I easily could ask, through a GET query string, to return all the actors who have starred in films that belong to the comedy genre - navigating 3 collections, actors,films,genres). If queries are out of the scope, then fine, but its clear people want to query their data.

So please answer what this offers over existing standards if you want to compete.

Oh, and in response to your earlier post of what OData JSON looks like, you're much better served by linking to v4, not v2 as you did:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata-json-format/v4.0/cspr...

That doesn't look so dissimilar.
Someone is awfully defensive. Let me guess; you have a lot of money tied up in Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a hacker plaything. It has a bunch of known weaknesses, a sketchy history, and an enormous amount of controversy attached to it. Not to mention the future of currency isn't peer-to-peer.

Also, you being overly sensitive to criticism of Bitcoin doesn't make me a troll.
I think that you've missed the fact that we're discussing OO techniques and approaches here, rather than the overall usability of JavaScript.

The software I mentioned includes JavaScript written in exchange for money, for clients, facing deadlines, in addition to open source JavaScript projects that may not face such constraints.

In such code, we often see prototype-based OO not living up to the hype, and not being suitable for real-world work. Due to these failings, we see many, many developers resort to implementing some limited subset or variant of class-based OO using the functionality that JavaScript does offer. The fact that we see this going on time and time again, involving many different developers, all across the world, over the course of many years should tell us something. I think that "something" is that class-based OO is inherently superior to prototype-based OO for the types of problems typically encountered when developing practical software.

Besides, C is the widest-deployed platform in the world. Add in C++, and their share of the market is absolutely huge. Basically every JavaScript implementation today is implemented using one or both of them. The major browsers embedding those JavaScript implementations are implemented in one or both. The operating systems the browsers are running on are implemented in one or both. The servers they're accessing are running operating systems, web servers, database servers, programming language implementations and applications written in C and/or C++. All of this is linked together using various networking devices running code written in C or C++. So every single line of JavaScript code that's executed depends on a stunningly huge amount of C and C++ code also being executed.
That's a question, not a clarification you quote, they forgot a ? which makes it ambiguous. Like that questioner I think we're all keen to have the actual information distilled out from the marketing BS so we can figure out what the hell they are even claiming to have built.
Netflix Says It’s ‘Killing’ BitTorrent Traffic
The wikipedia article on FSW is a pretty fascinating read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_stir_welding

Basically welding using a combination of joining pressure with a very high speed spinning steel bit that heats the aluminum joint via the friction created by it spinning on its surface. That spinning bit travels along the seam heating, and then it's pushed together when it's no longer quite solid, and spun together by the bit. Some interesting discussion of the crystal structure formed and the associated mechanical properties, as well.

I would also object to gold being difficult to extract.

Gold is relatively scarce, but about 3-10 times more common in the crust (by ppm on Wikipedia) than Iridium, Rhodium or Rhenium. Production of gold was 55 times higher than Rhenium. I don't know if this because of demand or difficulty of extraction. Rhenium is priced at $142/Troy ounce.

Or possibly vice-versa: they appear to have been touting a desktop client app with remote rendering tech including a "codec" called orbx for a couple of years. So this could just be compiling the decoder via emscripten like Broadway and Route9 did for H.264 and VP8.

However, one of the Mozilla guys is quoted as saying it was built from the ground up for browsers (and the vague descriptions of the old codec, don't sound like a normal codec) so maybe they're just repurposing the name.

C/C++ Low Level Curriculum Part 11: Inheritance
He's definitely not a cop in the sense of a Hollywood movie (eg Miami Vice).

He and his team are specialists. They are to cops what the Navy Seals or Rangers are to an Army E1.

The primary goal is information. They could care less about busting any given small time vendor. They want a mapping of the network of trade, origination, distribution, communication, transactions and financing. Particularly to draw currently unknown or difficult to track network nodes out into the open.

It's the same thing that has been done with paedophilia online. It's a honey trap. There isn't much value in busting single nodes. They want to see how much of the network they can map out, and the leads it provides to larger players. If this concept didn't exist, they'd desperately want to create it. Given their history of creative honey pots and how long they've been leveraging technology heavily, I think it tilts Silk Road toward being a likely sponsored program.
> Android is vastly better than iOS (I use both, and using iOS always makes it feel like my hands are tied behind my back).

It's really in no sense "vastly better" the market pretty much bears this out.

From a developer/technical standpoint it can be a pain that you have less access to device features on iOS and the AppStore review process can be a nightmare. But developing on XCode isn't bad, as is the UIKit architecture. It's unfortunate that iOS isn't open source like Android, but I can see no way from a user or technical perspective that it's "vastly better".
Is this client he is submitting bug reports for open source? I browsed through https://github.com/github/ really quick, but didn't see it.

If not, maybe he should be using some open source Git GUI if he wants to work together. Although I don't know of one offhand. I just use the command line myself.
Why? If it's designed to be like a 3 year lease, and they give you a 3 month window to decide that, how is that a bad thing? It's strictly more flexible than a 3 year lease.
This is wrong for a multitude of reasons.

1. Rocket engines have high thrust to weight ratio, typically around 100. Jets can have about 10. Scramjets can be really bad.

2. You can speed up quite quickly since the atmosphere is there for the first 30 km or so only.

3. White Knight Two that launches Spaceshiptwo is subsonic, not supersonic. The air launch is beneficial roughly:

- primarily because your rocket engine's expansion ratio can be bigger and you get more thrust for same fuel flow

- secondarily because then you can launch flexibly by flying to a location, that for example has less population or air traffic or is easy to launch to the right orbit from

- thirdly because you can always glide to a landing if something goes wrong with the engine. With a vertical takeoff there's a time right after takeoff where it's hard to do an engine out abort with something like a parachute.

Note all the above advantages are not dependent on carrier aircraft speed. In fact supersonic separation is a hard problem, never mind something at Mach 3. (See D-21)

If you look at something like dry mass, rockets will practically always win over air breathers in studies because of the lightness and simplicity of simple tanks and high thrust to weight ratio of rocket engines.

This whole scramjet affair is very misguided if you're trying to save something like liquid oxygen which is extremely cheap. Even when it weighs something, it doesn't matter since tanks are light and simple and (did I mention already:) rocket engines have high thrust to weight ratio.

I'll choose that any day over a huge scramjet inlet that needs to adjust to variable speeds by having big movable ramps, a big burner and a big exhaust, all experiencing large aerodynamic heating problems, multiple load paths (a rocket has basically only vertical loads).

yeah, it's kinda weird that they "promote" open source using closed source SW. at least they could have issues. I think to make the github code open source would have been something they should have done years ago. now gitlab has rewritten almost the whole functionality from scratch.

if you look at what happens with gitlab, just imagine how much it would advance github itself it they would have a repo for which people could open PRs

Another security hole in LivingSocial
I recently heard about LivingSocial getting hacked and got an email asking me to change my password. Since I haven't used the service since it debuted, I thought I would be even safer and just delete my account.

This is when I discovered a second major security hole on LivingSocial. Deleting your account is basically impossible.

So I googled and found these instructions -- http://macgateway.com/help-and-support/how-to-delete-a-livingsocial-account/

So you have to send them a message. Obviously a transparent attempt to avoid attrition by... making it hard for people to quit. Always a warning sign, but I suppose it could be defended somehow, as long as they actually respond to the messages, right?

Two problems.
1) When I tried to follow the third party instructions, I found that LivingSocial had carefully worked to remove any option that might be classified as deleting ones account, or for that matter, an "other" category.

2) Because I was unable to select a relevant category, I selected the closest thing I could find... questions about the recent security breach. I criticized the company for this poor design and asked that my account be deleted ASAP.

It has now been over 3 days and my account is still active. I conclude that there is no practical means of closing a LivingSocial account.
Network partitions are extremeley rare only for small clusters. For very large clusters or multi-datacenter clusters there is much more hardware than a single switch between servers. Then, the likelihood that something cuts off the whole room full of servers from the rest of your cluster is not something safe to neglect.

>why is this a failure?

I am offering a objective standard based on the international community where UN authorized the use of force in one example (which i believe violates the UN charter)and where the other is not a member state. Compare that with a post WW2 era where former colonies throughout the world became independent states simply through "self determination" and democratic elections. The double standard is again attributable to change in international norms, again this creates a problem because the international community does not want to codify their own position that they are unwilling to recognize a democratically elected government.

>Who are we in other courtries to say what's wrong?

"We" should not be referring to individuals with opinions but the international community and I think most would argue the international community has a duty to create international law, norms and customs or in your words say what is wrong behavior.

I will omit language war you both (parent and grandparent) seem to like waging and I'll go straight to the point.

Which is that OO based on prototypes is strictly more powerful than popular class based ones. Which is proven by the very fact you mention: people are writing class-based OO implementations in JavaScript with easy, one can create such an implementation in under 100 LOC. So if you think that "superiority" is determined by expressive power, then (popular) class based OO sucks balls in this comparison :)

I'm including the 'popular' qualification because thinking about class based object orientation in terms of C++ and Java is rather limited. If take a look at Smalltalk you'll see wonders like #become:. Ruby has implemented substantial subset of what Smalltalk provides and Python, although through really ugly hacks, is still able to replicate prototype-ness of JS.

This hints us to the real problem I think you missed, I mean age old difference between static and dynamic typing. Things like Google's Closure Compiler seem to suggest that static typing is desirable in the large projects. And while JITing can alleviate most of the performance problems, maintenance still remains to be a pain in the ass. This same thing applies to class and prototype based OO - while more expressive for the most part, prototypes are not as maintenance friendly as classes are. All sorts of tools, when working with classes, can provide you autocompletion, for example - it's much, much harder with prototypes, which can change at any moment.

So, to summarize, I think you blame the right thing but for incorrect reason. Prototype based OO is "better" than class based in terms of expressiveness, but "worse" in terms of maintenance (for now at least). As everything, both techniques have a place in programming and it's just stupid to bash one or the other.
‘British’ English is the standard English taught in Europe and the Middle East, likely in India as well, so I doubt that this is a remotely helpful clue.

Heh. Imagining this UX patch 25 years ago:

"I highly recommend turning on the 'Undo Irradiate' feature on the Therac-25. It lets you undo irradiation settings for a patient for ~5 seconds after you press irradiate. It has saved my patients countless times, not because the UI tricks me into irradiating patients with the wrong settings, but because I realize I want to add one more dose."
I was surprised to see when I installed R for the first time, that a large amount of the libraries it makes use of are written in fortran.

To complete the installation required me to choose from one of several current and compatible fortran compilers even.

So at least for fortran, the answer is scientific computing.
Making accessibility a priority takes a lot of extra effort and time and often seems unimportant, especially if your target audience is more specific and doesn't focus on the sick or elderly specifically. It should pay off however as it normally forces you to stick to best practices in coding and design, and to keep the end user in mind, and make the product better for everyone. Ideally it should be one of the fundamentals your product is built on, not an afterthought once you start getting support mails about it - however perhaps that just doesn't work in a startup environment where you need to get out a MVP and iterate fast.
Outside of that, I think a change in culture is needed to make accessibility a core component of product management.
