From what I can see iD have been an engine company since the days of Quake, it just so happens that they occasionally release a game to show off the new engine they're peddling.

That doesn't make Carmack any less of a great developer in how he pushes the limits of current hardware.
Brilliant! This seriously needs to be in PHP core.
Why not offer a "free-plan" as well? In early stages what frameworks need the most is adoption.
Me too. I've also heard of one instance of postnatal depression where it was hoped that having a child would solve problems the parents were experiencing, both personally and in the relationship (I have no idea if this is a common cause of postnatal depression).

Assuming this is a general cause of victories turning to ashes, of trying to solve other problems with it... what to do? Should we disregard this feeling, and start a new project (have more kids/brain children)? Or try to find something that will be genuinely satisfying, and won't turn to ashes?

I don't know. But I think it might be more like this: 1. get the basics right 2. have fun.

1. basics
exercise, sleep, food
friendly, co-operative people, support/encouragement, help others and be helped
be factual (not emotional reasoning), discuss (see POVs), keep perspective
have a bigger philosophy: religion (Knuth and Brooks are religious), nature

2. fun
focus on the journey as enjoyable
don't see the result as a solution to *how you feel*
immediately go on to the next project
it's just for fun, not to redeem yourself or make everything alright

NB: I'm in no way commenting on your situation; I'm just replying to your comment to articulate these thoughts I've been having on this topic.

10 years ago, an electric car company would sound like objectively the worse idea to many. Tesla was founded in 2003, the same year that General Motors officially cancelled its EV1 program. Toyota stopped selling its Rav 4 EV. Honda had long since ceased production of the EV Plus. If 3 of the largest car companies in the world tried and failed to make a profitable electric car, what hope did a newcomer with no automaking experience have?
To those who, like me, thought PHP already has this:

> PHP's interactive mode does not print the result of evaluating expressions and more importantly, it exits if you type something that produces a fatal error, such as invoking a function/method that does not exist, or an uncaught exception. Boris is designed to be robust, like other REPLs, so you can experiment with things that you know may error, without losing everything.

If we count major engine releases, then only the last two major engines (id Tech 4 and 5) from id Software have been C++, the previous three were all C (id Tech 2 and 3, as well as the Doom and Wolfenstein engines).

Another factor is that the C code that comes out of id Software is just damn good. Go ahead and read the Quake 3 Arena source code: it's one of the better reads out there, as far as C is concerned. The Doom 3 source code is C++, but it's kind of weird C++ and I would be wary of learning C++ from it. Carmack has spoken about how his C style is just so much more mature than his C++ style, and this is exacerbated in these examples because Q3A is the last game in C, but Doom 3 is the first game in C++.

Yes, he's an icon in the C world.

I've recently (2-3 months) switched to Python/Django and my experience so far has been very positive.

Multi-step forms can be implemented in Django using Form wizards [1].
In order to optionally show fields or make them required I think you could build it easily using the WizardView.get_form method [2].
The functionality to skip steps is built-in and it's very easy implement using conditional views [3].

In conclusion, it's fairly easy to implement the functionality you described using only the core framework without the need to rely on external packages.

Not that it's really an issue here because Coffescript is basically Javascript anyway, but legible source is important even for developers who don't end up reading it.

The people who actually read the code are a small subset of the group that depends on being able to read the code if necessary. I haven't needed to dive into the source for everything I've integrated into a product because of inadequate API documentation or bugs, but it happens, and it's not something you can generally tell ahead of time.
That's not a very constructive comment. Do you really believe that the word 'Scoutzie' has the potential to actually damage your reputation? How?

For dealing with packages such as python-psycopg2 and python-mysql, your best bet is to use --system-site-packages.

This allows the virtualenv to depend on packages provided by your distro instead of trying to compile its own. Wherever possible, I try to do this with Python packages that require a C compiler to make deployment a little easier and reduce dependencies.

Personally, I'm not a fan of Fabric and I much prefer configuration management (Salt, Chef, Puppet) because of the added flexibility you get. About the most I use Fabric for is logging into the Salt Master and kicking off a deployment process.

I was wondering the exact same thing. Sounds cool.

Anybody knows of a debugger equivalent to ipdb (python) / pry (ruby) for php to allow live debugging stuff on the server?
I've never used it so I really can't comment, sorry. There are a few that I've only skimmed the documentation for to see how they compare to Django / Flask. Bottle for example - when I look through the examples it seems so close to Flask that I don't feel I need to look any closer at it (so I may be missing out on something there).

It's curious to me that the government (local government in this case, it appears) would want to censor that book. The whole idea of freedom is that people should be free to make up their own mind, and being able to study what Hitler wrote is important to a study of history.

My parents have a copy of Mein Kampf on their bookshelf; not because they're Nazis but because it tells us a lot about what happened.

I've come to the view that CoffeeScript is the marmite of programming languages, and that issues like this will rage on for years to come.

I'd dare and suggest that TJ is JavaScript's DHH; very talented and productive, but also very vocal about he doesn't like.

Programmers are some of the most argumentative people that I know, my father being one of them. When you're immersed in a community, it becomes easy to develop the kind of language bigotry that happens between Rails and Node.js, which is sad and regrettable.

I think that mature programmers see code for what it is and don't get religious or wound up over these things; in the end of the day it's all a bunch of 1s and 0s.

Ask HN: Quality shared hosting or affordable managed VPS
OK shared hosting is available for about $10 / month, but I would really like premium shared hosting for $20-$30 and I am struggling to find that.

The improvements I'm looking for over "normal" hosting is more reliability, consistent performance and competent tech support. Titan Internet in the UK used to be just that, but they got acquired and "things ain't what they used to be".

VPS's exist in that price range, but I don't need the control nor the hassle of self management. Then there's a huge leap between that and the managed VPSs of someone like Rackspace ($200 / month seems to be the starting price there).

Suggestions, anyone?

The benefits of functional programming languages have been discussed before in the game industry, notably by Tim Sweeney.

Sorry for the PowerPoint presentation: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~dpw/popl/06/Tim-POPL.ppt

The crux is that there are a lot of tools available when working with functional programming languages that allow programmers to avoid pitfalls common when working with mutable structures. The fact is, game programming is very different in some ways from, say, web programming. In web programming, you modify small parts of the system at a time and you probably have a nice database with ACID guarantees, you can wrap changes in a transaction and get on with your life, or just make small changes without transactions. Games just use big collections of in-memory objects to represent a complex state that changes significantly every frame, and if that was how your web application worked you'd probably call it fragile.

I can give a more concrete example. Suppose you write a quick game where you shoot missiles at invading aliens. You register a collision between the missile and the alien, so you send a "collide" event to both. Except the missile responds to the collision by exploding, which deletes the alien object, and in C++ you might send a "collide" event to a dangling pointer instead of the alien space ship.

Yes, there are lots of tools you can use to fix this. "Use immutable data structures" is one of the more fool-proof ways to do it. So right there, by using immutable data structures everywhere, you've eliminated certain classes of bugs.

This becomes more important when you have multithreaded applications: immutable data is just inherently nice when you're using several cores: you can get rid of a bunch of locks and other synchronization techniques, many of which are a constant source of difficult-to-debug bugs for even experienced developers.
For a single person? Well it depends where the requirements are coming from, and how often the checkin with that other person are coming to compare what is being done with what is expected to be done.

Not that I've seen - I'm building a specific admin interface for one of my projects at the moment using this style (but I'm not making it generic). Architecturally the REST api is on one domain, the admin system is static angular on another domain and the front of the site (/sites - 15,000 of them) is a thin layer that makes calls back to the api.

It should be possible to build a completely generic frontend that just has a grid view and an edit view that you could wire to any REST backend. Then you could use flask-restful or Django Rest Framework or whatever else you wanted.

If you were going to go that route there's an angular directive for doing grids that would get you half way there: http://angular-ui.github.io/ng-grid/#/examples

Were I still building CMSs that's the approach I would be looking into.

But you risk the installation messing with your data and home directory. MacPorts uses sudo because it drops privileges to a specific 'macports' user for the build process and applies sandboxing. Therefore, the execution of Makefile rules and other build scripts cannot harm your data.
"HackingItalia" has much better chances of success than "lamernews" - at least it has a clear focus - and I congratulate antirez for creating it. But what I really miss, after the failure of Hackful Europe, is a EU-wide startuppers/hackers hub, because IMHO we are missing a lot of useful networking opportunities by only either confining ourselves inside our national borders or diluting in the global community.

Looking for a charity or organisation to do a pro-bono website or app design.
As a thank you to the internet for giving me the life I have now, and for many other things, I'm looking for a charity, organisation or ethical business to design a website or mobile app to increase their impact on the internet and to give something back.

That looks good, although one may wonder at the long term support prospects (the author says "I'm in the process of transitioning away from PHP to Ruby.").

For your delectation, other PHP repls include :

- The basic built-in repl "php -a"

- Facebooks phpsh : http://phpsh.org/

- PHP Shell : http://jan.kneschke.de/projects/php-shell

- php-repl : https://github.com/tailrecursion/wigwam

If you want something more customised to your needs, investigate the plethora of readln and posix functions in PHP and dive right in!

I'm not sure if this is a good idea for everyone. I think Steve gets a little lost in his world and think that what works for him will work for everyone.

A lot of people will find this type of technology a solution in search of a problem. This type of analysis may even distract from peoples lives.

Would the knowing that you do a certain thing a certain percent of the time almost become self fulfilling?

This is the type of technology that can make you into a productive cold robot, the thing is many people are not interested in becoming like this.

Maybe I'm wrong and we all now need personal analysis to squeeze the most out of life.
Ask HN: looking for "war stories" getting OSS into UK (local) government
I have for various reasons become stung into running a fringe meeting at July's Local Government Associations annual meeting. The idea is I perceive a catch-22 in OSS in local govt - for the stuff that governments alone do, no one who can code has an itch so there are no prebuilt packages so OSS is at a disadvantage to proprietary

I want to gee up enough council leaders to agree to stop paying proprietary companies and pool funds to develop open software - and am looking for anyone with experience (good bad indifferent) trying to get OSS off ground in uk government.

What is Best Callus Remover?
I do not understand why there is no public list online with the basic costs of operations (including all the variables). With price transparency a lot of this unequal treatment and prices would surface. I understand there are a lot of variables, but not like it wouldn't be possible. (I understand a treatment at Hopkins would be more expensive than say at your local hospital, but at the very least it would be clear how much more expensive it actually is.

EDIT: One way to do it nationwide would be to ask people to send in their bills (anonymized).

Migration is still required to reinstall ports as the underlying system libraries change on a major version upgrade of Mac OS X.

However, situation still improved a lot since then. If the licensing of the port and all dependencies allow it, MacPorts now even offers pre-compiled binary archives for Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion. Often you do not even have to compile software yourself anymore.

I've seen that perverted to design absolute nonsense and as a defense say: "hey, we don't do premature optimization here!".
Not quite - that happens sometimes and I use logic in the controller (ugh) to switch the form class.

This is what I mean: an adaptive form http://screencast.com/t/SutggDU5

The server-side validation has to adapt depending on the data coming from the client-side, and varies a lot.

Perhaps others don't build forms like this much and so web frameworks don't deal with them; I get one like this every few months!

You can use different mechanisms to test out the website and its UI components.

I have worked with Splinter(which is a python based testing framework) and CasperJS(JS based framework) and both of them works fine.

With Splinter you can test out your website not only in headless browsers but with normal browsers as well. It has selenium plugin as well.
Interesting, thanks for sharing your experience!

Have you seen anything saying it helps to build adaptive forms like [1]?

As I understand the history, during the wage freeze of WWII, companies used medical insurance as a form of compensation. This also helped the companies because the men left behind tended to be not as healthy as those who were conscripted.

Once you think of it as compensation, you can see why the benefits are tied to the employer. "Join us; we have good healthcare."
Wow, that was in my to-read bookmarks, but from what I just read of it, it looks really good. Thanks!
c.f. SMTP/GMail

The big difference is that there's nothing stopping anyone from running their own server, or starting up a new/competing service.
Operations are one type of unknown cost, but the problem extends to all parts of medical treatment. I know of at least one company (SnapHealth [1]) trying to solve this problem, from one small angle: tests and doc visits, as opposed to operations. But what I think you're asking for (and I would agree with) is a public list ala some regulatory mandate to publish costs of specific treatments?

I use C# actively at work, and also for some of my side-projects (though 80% of them are usually written in javascript). I definitely know a place where C# shines: Big projects with a lot of developers. C# is really easy to maintain in my experience.
It boils down to common sense.
My approach is to try to writing the code reasonably efficient, but initially, readability, maintainability and simplicity take precedence over performance. I wouldn't write a more hacky or complex code just for the sake of performance before I KNOW there's a problem.
