This is fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing, I learned so much from reading your very elegant and well-commented code.

Just in case anyone is looking at this and wants a direct link to play pavel_lishin's version, here's the raw github version: https://rawgithub.com/pavellishin/drop7/master/drop7.html

Side note: I got hooked on Drop7 during my first semester in college. I was fascinated by the game and wrote a simulator to pick the optimal move:

Okay, it's not as bold has using Headers saying "Hire Me" but I would like to emphasize that sometimes even complex tasks can be super-easy when you use the right tools. And a combination of Linux shell tools makes this task really very straightforward (literally).

If you're gonna start an incubator, you've got to have serious media creds, founder relationships, have other founders on-board and soft launch. Basically Om's other possible career option.

It's inevitable that folks would try to copy a model tactically without understanding the strategy. However I've seen European old money enchanted by people that are adept at playing the valley game. For example, one promising approach might be to solve some timely pain-points: what arent startups usually good at? global localized replication post-traction, customer service and backoffice. This is shit that usually gets built "organically" and falls (or fails) over, until real professionals are brought in to make it look more like a real business. That could work since it reduces risk on the investor side (by funding things later) at the risk of accepting higher valuations. They seem to have the ca$h but don't know what else to do with it.

But coming at founders with only a wooly wish and demanding equity is only going to rope in people too desperate to know the difference. Wantrepreneur incubator : not gonna try to portmanteau that. Thankfully, there's an app for that: http://portmanteaur.com/?words=Wantrepreneur+incubator

As an anecdote I have resorted to pirating Rick and Morty. I love the show, it's amazing really. If you haven't go watch it now. You might think that I am selfish a-hole who wants to rob the creators of one of my favourite shows of their income, but that's not the case. I am simply not located in the right part of the world. Not being an American is a huge hassel when it comes to digital content consumption.

I am willing to pay, nay I would love to pay, for Rick and Morty, but from my research I have found no way, short of VPN + US credit card, to buy a season pass. So you have potential customers who have to resort to piracy because the industry has no interest in distributing to their region. Am I going to buy Rick and Morty when it eventually comes out in Sweden? Not very likely as I will already have watched all episodes.

The same holds true for The Walking Dead, thankfully HBO has started releasing episodes of Game of Thrones the same day in Sweden as in the US and I can and am paying for that.
Good shout, thanks for the link. I'm not sure the effect would really work with energy saving bulbs so there's no point using them anyway. Thanks for pointing out the risk.

Would be good to find another source other than the daily mail since they're scare mongering racists. They probably give the same advice about immigrants. (If there's one in the room take your family and leave for 15 minutes)

Morgan Stanley Chief Calls Bitcoin ‘Surreal’
Problem - the school systems are funded by property taxes. Live in a low rent area, your kids will be at a crappy school. It's why a family needs to be earning at least 200k, preferably 300k. Rent for a family of 4 is at a minimum of 5k - 6k. The alternative is to live in the midwest, with snow. And a lot of people who don't understand working in tech. And less opportunities.
I think you're confusing investment and incubation. They're two different things.

Investment is when someone with money and experience is enthusiastic about your idea and wants to help you succeed with it.

Incubation is when someone with money and experience is enthusiastic about their incubator and wants you to help them succeed with it.

Not the same, see?

*Yes I'm being a little facetious
You're looking the wrong way. It's not about you.
I dont know current state of things, so I speak in past tense.
MTG was very balanced. Every uber-card had uber-cost and needed proper protection. Also, there was a cap on number of same cards in your deck. So you couldn't extensively abuse mid-power cards too. As a result, you can counter expensive deck by not so expensive one. Game was in most parts about proper tactics, not deck.
Curation and organization is one. For example, search a good movie tracker for Pulp Fiction and you'll get a dedicated page for that film--including stuff like poster image, YouTube trailers, and IMDB link--with torrents organized by quality, resolution, special features, and so forth.

The other is, well, you're wrong about the long-tail stuff. TPB, for example, has lots of audiobooks but is very short on printed material. A dedicated book tracker may have a much better selection of fiction, textbooks, and other sorts of specialty books (tabletop RPGs, for example).
Losing that early could be almost as impressive as winning. Think about how hard it would be to miss every question on a multiple choice test.
I know you've clarified your view below, but there are plenty of people who I know only by their online nickname. Stage names are accepted as normal and no one bats an eyelid - Reginald Dwight is a great example of this. There are plenty around however.
I've seen two incubators, and both were very much a waste. One of them had nice presentations / talks, but that's about it
> This goes for Google Hangouts, Skype, Slack or XMPP services in general (hosted by you or not), amongst myriads of messenger services that don't do ads. So I think you're exaggerating.
Google is known to mine your data for personalization of advertising of Mail ads, but I do not know if this is also done for Hangout chats.

Skype has ads like hell (open a chat on a netbook, half the vertical screen size is lost to ads and fucked up layout), Facebook the same (sidebar on the web site), and likely also data mining.
I'm guessing everyone here knows Sendgrid and Digital Ocean. Both are TechStars companies that weren't mentioned but are doing quite well.

Focus and learning how to say "no" is a critical skill for any founder to master, whether they're a part of an incubator or not.

Incubators are Bullshit, Startup Accelerators are Scams

Barring few in US and India, you can put the rest in the above two categories. Most of the people running these incubators/accelerators are there for Kicks, Greed, Ego and Entertainment only and themselves don't understand the challenges of building a business. Unfortunately most of the startup founders are too naive and in hyper state of mind so get sucked into these.
Why wouldn't the autopilot take it to at least near the airport? Also, does autopilot continue to work if the listed sensors go offline?
True, and it's good of you to clarify. However, what if the "other pending writes" are to the same file descriptor? Just because I'm eager to know when one write happens doesn't mean I care about other writes I made elsewhere.

sync() is basically a relic. Historically it only existed so that a UNIX userland process could roughly control the rate that dirty buffers went to disk. This was the "update" daemon historically, known as "fsflush" on SYSV. At least on linux that's internal to the kernel these days.
But my fingers already know the standard shortcuts for most of these functions... eg:

ctrl+H for history
Crtl+F for find mode
This is really cool -- particularly hxselect -- but I don't see how it's particularly simpler than using Python/requests. How would you handle following links and deduping visited URLs via piping?
Craftsman founder reminds me of Ninja programmer and Rockstar developer.
I am intrigued because the readme at Github mentions Naughty Dog using it for level shading and such, and I was recently impressed to hear anecdotal evidence of them, for the longest time, using Lisp and now MzScheme/Racket (they are really using the former because they have not been able to update their codebase substantially) to stitch everything together for building all the media into a test environment for games, going back to Jax. And they have been doing so as late as 2013, if you believe the ND employee who talked at RacketCon.

It sounds like they have quite a ... heterogeneous environment.
That's pretty soft moral justification for whatever infringing acts you're defending. You'll get no argument from me that copyright durations have gotten out of control, but that doesn't exactly give you fair cause to download Game of Thrones or whatever it is you want.

There is a long Wikipedia article about the topic:

That article is explicitly linked in the current article (see "Joshua Davis wrote about the search for Nakamoto in 2011"). If they were "trying to play dumb", they probably would not have mentioned it.

Low prices for food, drink, clothes, cars, computers etc was something I observed in my brief time in the US. Its great when you see home grown stuff for sale cheaper than it is at home when you have flown 12 hours to get there.
No, that will only allow to subclass "Object", not "Class". Also with ES6 you have to define the prototype all in once and you can't call `defineMethod` for each one, the ES6 sugar is more like just using `MyClass.prototype = Object.create(BaseClass.prototype, { /* properties */ });` today. Which the author apparently doesn't feel is even worth mentioning.
X32 isn't quite everywhere yet, and the larger words add a lot of space. I try not to use them if I don't need it, but I'm definitely looking forward to X32.

Google play almost solves this problem for me with music. I have a hopeless addiction to fairly off-the-beaten-track hip-hop, and used to have to use private trackers and forums to find good stuff. I got Google play music recently, uploaded stuff I already had, and now I get really good suggestions for new, rare stuff every day. It's still not as comprehensive as what's available on the rest of the internet, but it's better than any other paid music thing I've tried.

I'm not particularly satisfied with how this story is presented. The link goes to a paragraph on a website that asks me to complete a survey.

The abstract for that paper does not support several of the claims made by the original piece.

Joose[1] took these patterns about as far as anyone has (open source) as of several years ago; it's based on Moose[2] for Perl.

When Bill Edney and Scott Shattuck finally release TIBET[3] upon the world (something like 15 years in the making), it will take "real OOP" for JavaScript to a whole new level. TIBET is basically a full-on Smalltalk system (including a kernel, images, modules) for JavaScript, but it's not a compile-to-JS kit; rather, it builds right on top of the language, kind of a "super library" for ultra heavy-duty browser based apps.

All the tests are highly political topics centered on identity politics & social justice topics. They also have weird American classifications of ethnicity being only "Hispanic vs non-hispanic" and "race" which seems more attached to skin color vs who the person is. I tapped around other countries and saw that they used some more or less classifiers of ethnicity & 'race' but the distinction are still there. It makes me put doubts about the testing itself and how much it would be used to advance political agendas.
Any link to the original scientific article this came from?

A report I read early after the news broke, it said that China said the craft never entered their airspace.

The link in the linked article that is meant to link to the evidence that Torvalds is wrong, instead links to itself. Inadvertent self-reference in a conversation about modern data structures is a very bad sign.

But as I understand, the extension of Class was mainly to introduce a self-binding variant. I assumed that a proper class implementation would take that into account.

We are still learning how to live in a connected and recorded world. Even the most coherent natural conversations, when put on paper, make for strained reading. The thread of thought jerks around implications and exclamations of hyperbole. Cherry-picking hiccups is a thoughtless exercise in missing the forest for the trees.

We lived in a connected world before. Small town talk connected communities. The chatter then was likely as belligerent as Twitter is today. The difference, though, is gossip is (usually) ephemeral while written words persist. Society didn't seek to document and re-broadcast the petty thoughts of suburban Geneva on the loucheness of New Yorkers. If something was to cross the Atlantic, it would have to carry more substance.

Perhaps it will take a new generation of reporters to effect the change. One more enamoured by, and driven to explore, the message versus the medium.
A prediction market for Bitcoin?
Today Marc Andreessen tweeted: "@pmarca: Thought: Dorian Nakamoto saga illustrates pressing need for Bitcoin-based prediction market. That’s something we’d love to fund."

It just so happens that I wrote a prediction market for consumer electronics 3 years ago that never went anywhere. Who would be interested in repurposing it with me? At least I want to figure out what Marc actually means by "prediction market using Bitcoins".
This is a sociological problem.

The further up the abstraction hierarchy you customize things in languages that let you do this, the more differentiated your code is and - generally speaking - the more awkward it is to integrate with other people's code.

Lisp and Smalltalk are at one extreme end of the scale here. They let you define rich DSLs. Unfortunately, application of their most powerful features to any given problem domain typically results in a custom language specific to that domain - so much so that you lose much of the benefits of sharing a language with other programmers. Understanding what's going on takes much more work, because you need to understand more of the system before its gestalt becomes clear.

DSLs are excellent when they're applied to problem domains that are otherwise very clumsy to express, when the problem is widespread, when it doesn't intermix too deeply with other domains (i.e. the abstraction is mostly self-contained), and when there is a critical mass of programmers using it - enough that understanding the system at its own level of abstraction is enough for most people.

But when you apply the same techniques to relatively humdrum problems like object construction, function binding etc., it's best if the language or its standard library has a reasonable approach and everybody uses it. Developing your own ad-hoc language around class construction means that everyone coming into your code needs to understand it before they can truly understand what the code is doing. It's a barrier to understanding, and the pros of customization need to be substantially higher than the costs of subtlety.

In short, it's usually better to be explicit.
Scientist urges withdrawal of his own 'breakthrough' stem cell research
If that were the case of taxes/tariffs then the real price should be depending on your actual country and not the continent as a whole. Even in the US there would be no single price either, since there are some states where there is no VAT compared to others where it's quite high. So, yeah, i'm pretty sure it's a way to make easy money for the publishers. Sad to see Valve supporting this, really.
