Hmmm, by sectors 3 or 4, you should definitely run across something on the offensive side. This could be another weapon (and these can also be picked up outside of shops, if you are lucky), a teleporter, or a drone control / offensive done.

Even failing that, the starting ship has some decent weaponry; the missile can go through shields (so if you time it together with your lasers), you should be able to completely disable a 2-level shield with your first salvo. You may want to go for their weapons first, though. Disabling their pilot / engines removes their ability to dodge, meaning that all 3 of your lasers will hit.

I'd also recommend reading through the various wikis that exist, e.g. ftlwiki has great tips / strategies for each player ship. Here's their take on the Kestrel (starting ship):

http://ftlwiki.com/wiki/The_Kestrel

Other simple tips would be - always attack (and defeat) slavers, they usually offer a slave in exchange for mercy, which is a great deal. If they are non-human, you will get more "blue" options, which usually have (better) rewards. Later on, simply get to level 5 to unlock the engi ship, and play around with it to get an idea of how powerful drones can be.

In summary, the gameplay is actually very balanced, and pretty deep. With a lot of skill, you should be able to get to the final level on easy most of the time (and perhaps beat the boss half the time, depending on your strategy). But being a kind of roguelike (with all its randomness), sometimes you will just have bad luck...

Missiles penetrate shields. Target their shields system with your missiles and then target their weapons system with your lasers and you should make short work of most enemies. With the starting ship (The Kestrel), this strategy can get you through sector 4 without any significant upgrade.

Frankly, Node is a way for front-end developers to write server-side code without having to learn too much new stuff.
The problem with that is that you'd be making the Kindle business model illegal too. Same for games consoles, both handheld and portable. There's nothing novel or unique about app stores. Companies have been able to tightly control the media ecosystem for their devices for decades. Disrupting that would make the entire business model of subsidizing the device on the back of controlling access to the media nonviable.

Goodbye video console market. Asta la Vista Gameboy. So long Kindle e-book reader. Unless you want to pay triple the current price for your next model of any of those. A sudden price hike like that would kill those markets stone dead.

Be careful what you wish for, lest you get it.
They do (unsurprisingly but annoyingly) have the right to use, access, retain and disclose your data "... and to collect, use, and share aggregated information about Amazon Insights."

The rehashing of "tired arguments" is usually because the ones receiving it (Mongo-users in this instance) are in love with their technology and just dismisses the issues...

There is a reason that RDBMs with SQL is still alive almost four decades after its inception... it was a quantum leap forward (and still is)

The point is data quality, data durability and flexibility... and performance...

Remember, those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it...

Btw. as others pointed out, HSTORE actually predates MongoDB, but I give you that some of the fire under HSTORE is due to MongoDB's "threat"... As a very happy PostgreSQL user I thank MongoDB for that at least :)
The InnoDB was not the default storage engine for quite a long time and it wasn't stable-enough for years.

I think there's one other problem that affects most NoSQL systems - the perception that adopting a NoSQL means you don't have to think about your data. When designers and front-end developers want to develop a web application they can do one of two things; a) say "don't worry about the back-end, we'll just throw it in a NoSQL database" or b) learn to also be a back-end engineer.

The idea that you don't need to worry about your data structure is deadly. Every successful project I've been involved with thinks seriously about the data model. ER diagrams with 160 tables aren't uncommon and knowing the structure of your most common queries helps you make sure that your database isn't over-normalized. There's a science to data systems after all.

"Show me your flowchart and conceal your tables, and I shall continue to be mystified. Show me your tables, and I won't usually need your flowchart; it'll be obvious." - Frederick P. Brooks from The Mythical Man-Month.

I quote or paraphrase this fairly frequently as I've come to believe it. If I understand your data structures, I can pretty easily tell what you might be doing with the system and I can read the code to see which parts you've implemented. But don't use this as an excuse to delay working on the rest of the application. There are Architecture Astronauts in the realm of database modeling too!

"Normalize until it hurts, denormalize until it works!" - Unattributed adage.

The key is to understand your data (and it will provide an amazing boost to the rest of the project). If you're worried about having your data-model perfect before you start coding, you should have started coding already. There are practices you can adopt that make refactoring your database more tenable. I recommend you read the "Evolutionary Database Design" article by Martin Fowler and Pramod Sadalage (http://www.martinfowler.com/articles/evodb.html), then adopt a workable technique as a team.
Is there a current build anywhere or do I have to build it myself?
People can buy digital subscriptions if they don't want to use paper. But some people want hard-copy magazines, and it's not wrong for us to offer them. We will do our best to use sustainable paper sources and responsible printers.

As for the costs, those are normal in the publishing world. Many magazines have tried slashing the contribution per-page cost, and ended up with poor quality content as a result. We want the best contributors, and they're worth paying for.

100GBP per page may seem like a lot, but that's for 800 words of highly technical content, that has to be correct, well-written, informative and entertaining. A single page can take many hours of work when you're dealing with advanced subjects. You get what you pay for.
> MongoDBs awful memory mapped simple b-tree data storage method

You realise that they are using default kernel implementation? Awful indeed. :)

If you are so anti-MongoDB, would you care to offer an alternative? It must support:
- document-like storage (I already have schema on application layer),
- simple use / administration,
- hot backup,
- single node operation.

While this list is mostly outlining why MongoDB is a great DB for my current use case, I am also genuinly interested in better solutions (for that case). So, fire away... :)
You can't have monads in Scheme due to the lack of a type system. What you can have are instances of monads, but the point of using the concept of a monad is to abstract over it, and to have functions that work with any possible instance.

Not imprisoning people for minor crime is sane as criminals incarcerated have a higher chance of relapsing into crime than those who recieved suspended sentences. The goal of the justice system should be to prevent crime, not to dish out revenge because it feels good.
Would appreciate a comment from whoever down-voted. I recognize/appreciate the effectiveness/power of story telling, especially to convey intangibles/teachings. I (maybe others too) just have an aversion to the story telling in politics and commercial products.

Samsung is by far the most profitable company selling Android phones. As of July they had about twice the market of Apple for Smartphones, and they still made less money from it.

Apple sell a premium product at a premium price - market share doesn’t mean shit if your profit from each device sold is three fifths of fuck all.
Yeah! For instance, the homicide rate in Sweden is about 1 per 100k, whereas the rate in the USA is only 4.7 per 100k. (1.2 in the UK, 3.5 in Europe as a whole, 6.9 worldwide, 1.5 for Northern Europe, the subregion to which Sweden belongs.)

(Why look at homicide specifically? Because almost all cases get reported and the definition of homicide is fairly uncontroversial. With some other crimes -- rape is a particularly bad example -- definitions and reporting rates may vary wildly from country to country.)

Regrettably, how safe you feel is strongly influenced by what you see in the media, hear from your friends and family, etc., and unless you are exceptionally careful about your mental hygiene and pay a lot of attention to the relevant statistics the connection between how safe you feel and how safe you actually are is probably quite weak.
It's also what happens when bureaucracy takes over, putting the officers in the office most of the day.
Hey, thanks for pointing that out, that's the second time I've heard that recently. I think Ghoetery is getting a little over-excited and hiding the parent element containing Disqus which also contains the body of the post. I'm going to take a look at how to rejig the markup so that this doesn't happen in future.
Yes.

oneTwo = 1 : 2 : oneTwo

is a circular singly-linked list containing 1 and 2. If you wanted to change the 1 to a 4 though, you would not be able to do so without creating an entire new list. You can use Vector or Array (i.e. fixed-size containers) to make yourself a circular buffer, but the implementation will be very similar to what you would do in C.

EDIT: For context, this was originally submitted as "How not to make a 404 page."
This was seriously confusing.
Sorry, poor choice of words... I have build an ORM on application level above MongoDB.

This level lets me specify data model in a simple JSON and the system then automatically performs all (high-level) data input validations, displays a proper web form to the user,... There are actually many similar systems to mine, I just couldn't find one that would offer all the functionalities I needed.

Note that DB is just a storage for me. It can't know enough to validate for example e-mails, because for DB they are just strings.
Honestly, I see very few thought-out or backed-up arguments here. The server-level blocking, the unacknowledged writes, silly defaults, etc are not only old news but have been behind mongodb for a while.

You also get comments like 'it still has database level locking' but rarely is there an educated discussion about the work that's been done to yield locks as quickly as possible and the real-world impact of this design.

People seem intent on punishing the platform for old mistakes (or immaturity) rather than providing a balanced view of it today. And comments like "Absolutely no benefit to Mongo. It's even really slow, so there's really no advantage at all." are just misleading without context, because it's at all true as an outright statement.

I spent today at the MongoDB developers conference in Sydney, and heard the CEO speak about when they think mongodb is good vs when you should use RDBMS, heard them speak about their community and target market, and heard a lot of stories and strategies about how to prepare for scale, how to think about schema design, how to monitor and admin the database / clusters, etc.

I'll just say that from hearing them in person, and hearing what people say about both the platform and the "marketing guys", you'd never know they were talking about the same company or product.

My own company has had a lot of advantage from using MongoDB in recent projects over other technologies (we have a largely MSSQL background). No, we don't do 100GB+ "web scale" (yet). Yes, we build solutions to real world problems and make money. No, it's not a silver bullet. Yes, you should know what you're doing and read the docs.

To any hackers / entrepreneurs who are thinking that MongoDB might work for them I'd say do some research, talk to people who've actually used it, and understand the benefits / limitations for yourself.

But stay away from opinions not based in real experience (and anything that mentions problems from before version 2.4, it's nearly a year old people) or you might miss out on something good.
As long as we have non free software running on their phones, it would be hard to believe the claim as is.

This looks like theft of fiat money, not BTC. I.e. you deposit and then buy BTC. So they took the deposits. Hence why it's not that traceable, iconically it's easier to start looking for BTC's as the transactions are public. Cash, especially internationally, can be fuzzier.

As a counter point, I was mugged a couple of years back, and reported it after blocking my phone, etc. expecting a "Well there's not much we can do".

The police arrived within 10 minutes and took a statement. Since I'd seen one of the guys beforehand throwing a beer can at a car, they drove me back to that spot and we found the can. They got DNA from it and found out who it was, caught them and they were found guilty (they also picked me up & dropped me off when I needed to do a video lineup).

I then had victim support offer counselling & general contact and was updated with how things were going by post.

They were absolutely excellent as far as I'm concerned, particularly for a fairly minor crime (I was threatened but not actually hit) in a major city (Manchester in the UK, specifically Salford at the time).

To add to what others have said, one of the most important tactics is timing your weapon usage in combat.

For example, if you're using the Kestrel (Missile and Laser weapons), then you want to hit Shields with the missile first to disable them. Only if you actually downed the shields do you want to shoot the laser so that all three shots have a chance at doing damage (preferably on the Weapons subsystem). If everything hits (which happens very often in the first 4 sectors), then you've just disabled the enemy's shields AND weapons - they are now easy pickings.

In summary, never use autofire (unless you have Ion weapons) and time your shots so each weapon gets a maximum chance of doing damage.
That question mark is not needed. Sverigedemokraterna is very much in the same vein as the Danish People's Party and currently rates at about 10% in opinion surveys. They haven't changed the Overton Window very much since all other parties have a pretty solid front of not supporting Sverigedemokraterna but they most certainly have shifted the window a bit to the right.
I was being over opinionated (changed the title now), else no conversation would be made.

I personally think the idea is a great one and it shows Sir Richard Branson has both faith in his team and is also a good sport.

Disagree. Although I'm looking to move away from Mailchimp, it's not because of spam issues. They adhere rigorously to CAN-SPAM laws.

GameData, a format to share game metadata
I don't have the resources of a Facebook, but I'd pay a few hundred bucks a year for a HTTPS secured REST API which let me post an email address and receive a list of candidate passwords. Bonus for a callback if someone I've queried gets added. The service would maintain that list in a fashion similar to whitehat security researchers.

Use case is to implement the FB-style security escalation for high-value accounts at my businesses, without requiring an on-call security team. If a dentist loses their client database because they reused the password on a PHPBB somewhere I'm likely in for a lot of headaches even if eventually found to not be at fault.
"Back in July 2013, The Washington Post reported that nearly a decade ago, the National Security Agency developed a new technique that allowed spooks to “find cellphones even when they were turned off."

Since this technique pre-dates smartphones, it is unlikely to involve installing software on the phone. At best, the NSA might have found that a given model of phone didn't properly power-down its radio when the phone was powered-down. Given access to the cellular network it might be possible to ping the phone and make it disclose its position via triangulation.

Very hard to see how this could be anything other than deliberate disinformation by the NSA though.
Securing Peer to Peer Fog of War against Map Hacks
I've been saying this for years.

Everybody focuses on China because it's such a large market, that they miss the fact that doing business in China is a legal nightmare. The court system is basically set up to screw foreign companies, partially because the Chinese do have a history of getting really screwed over by foreign companies.

Japan doesn't have the same pile of overnight millionaires, but they do have a dependable court system, people are used to paying high prices for things, the consumer is very friendly to foreign goods, and there are relatively few trade barriers -- especially after the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) goes through.

It's not a bad place to sell things.

How to document your Grape API using Swagger UI
There are a number of ways to carry out a similar strategy, ie: kill all crew except one and destroy subsystems before trying to damage the hull.

The only ship that can't equip Cloak it is the Federation Cruiser (and its variant) and this ship has the Artillery Beam to make up for it. As for crew, between Stores and Slavers it's entirely possible to get to Mantis or, even better, two Rock crew members before facing the boss. This, at the very least, will let you take out the boss's weapons.
You are being racist. What you're saying is that immigrants are somehow more inclined to commit crimes simply because they're immigrants. That _is_ a racist statement and you're also ignoring the real reason.

The reason crime is increasing is that Sweden has become a more unequal and segregated society. Immigrants have been hit harder by this development because of, for example, discrimination on the job market.

So basically you should stop complaining about the immigration policy and start demanding equality.
I find it amusing that you warn of the political spin, yet cite as facts and link to an article that cites a "study" done for a TV show with no specifics about methods used or classification criteria given.
