It'd be nice to have improved support from GOG for linux. The PlayOnLinux project has a decent list of Gog.com games that it'll help install and run on Linux platforms. But I'd buy a lot more games from them if I didn't have to rely on that or manually trying to get games to work.

Only problem will be having more games to distract me, I went with Linux to avoid needing the willpower to not play games and get on with learning / working ;-)
Good to see that the internal hash function has been replaced with SipHash. It took quite a while for Python to decide to not try to tweak their own hash function/PRF. Now Python is on par with Ruby and Perl.

Lack of on-demand high quality (true 1080) option: Google Play is 480 and Amazon Instant is blurry on a big screen. Besides Amazon states in their TOC that they can change quality as they see fit at the time of a video being played

I believe Google Play does offer up to 1080p [1] - most of the TV shows and movies that I've watched on there are either 720p or 1080p. I am in the US, so perhaps that is different in the UK.

My biggest beef with both Netflix / Google / Amazon is not the video resolution, which is almost always HD for me. The problem is the lack of multi-channel surround sound. It is pretty hit or miss which tv shows, or movies, have surround sound - on all of the services.

That's the standard type system in Common Lisp.

As for whether Common Lisp supports parametricity, I don't know. It might be one of those things that isn't difficult to implement on your own, like design-by-contract or AMOP.
Totally agree and also recommend to look at React. While Angular is just way too much of everything React is pretty much thought-out:

Here a quick comparison of both: http://versus.com/en/angularjs-vs-react

Here a pretty good video of React's founder pointing on some weakness of Angular: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7cQ3mrcKaY
I've worked on one large project with Angular, and a couple of medium sized ones in Meteor (using the original UI system) and am working on a POC project with ReactJS at the moment.

I think Angular is better for "slightly more traditional" webapps such as dashboards. Its directives are nice for building small custom widgets, and the thin model wrappers $http and $resource can be useful (though I'm looking forward to what they add to these in v2.0). Data-binding is very straightforward and easy to understand.

I've built a couple of projects in Meteor, and I'm still a fan, though I've yet to have a real use case for the realtime (pub/sub) stuff: I'm still making straightforward webapps that would probably be just as easy (if not easier) to build in Angular or Backbone. The reason I'm using Meteor is more for productivity than for reactive realtime: I love that I get Mongo, a watched asset pipeline and a bunch of other stuff for free. I love being able to share/move code around easily between the client and server.

Sometimes the reactivity in Meteor can be quite subtle and difficult to get your head around, and I wish I was just using straightforward webservices instead; other times it's a productivity booster and keeps things simpler.

ReactJS is a really nice concise view library, with some extra stuff that Facebook put in that I'm not sure should really be in there (e.g. the synthetic events) and should maybe be a module instead (an approach I'm very happy to see Angular taking). ReactJS does for views and templates what Meteor does for client-server. It's also got its share of subtleties and gotchas though.

I'm also from a video games background and am also tending to favour Meteor and ReactJS. But I do think the extra power of these technologies brings an extra set of complexity and things to watch out for. But then Angular has transclusions, so......

That's unlikely. If you were a guy they wouldn't be talking to you at all. Even less likely they'd do so with genuine interest. That is the experience most males have in such conferences. Few men get any kind of attention from anyone without putting in a lot of effort.

Having men lose interest in you after your fiancée is mentioned doesn't tell you anything about the likelihood of them seeing you only as a sexual object. Could just as well be a human object they want to love.
Well my anecdote: Before technology, I procrastinated just as much, by spending many hours walking outside. I can't say technology improved things, but it's certainly not the root cause.

GOG is run by pretty amazing people , for example, they recently announced that they were interested by regional pricing[1] when people made it clear they were not pleased by this change, they changed their mind[2]. Impressive.

Also, it'll be interesting to see if it's a plan to bring more indie/kickstarter, since most of them have linux version planned, so GOG was not ideal.

If you're operating at the level where you need this level of indirection, then you should be looking at SOA anyway. Rails is not an appropriate platform, regardless of how much architecture you add to it.

If you're not operating there, then you are introducing complexity for no reason, and failing to take advantage of the features that Rails offers.

Machinery of an Energy Dream: How to Keep Fusion Going Long Enough
There's a whole load of games from GOG that you can already play on linux, be it throuhg the PlayOnLinux project or by using Dosbox.

However, there are a lot of games where it feels like they should work on linux, but they just don't. For instance, Interstate76 runs fine in PlayOnLinux, but Interstate82 doesn't. There are probably a bunch of those games where the GOG team is in a position to make it work under linux whereas we users alone can't.

I'm excited. Even if they'll just push the games that already run through PlayOnLinux, official support and the publicity are both worth it.
And it uses an old Mono runtime from Novel days, because they don't want to pay for new licenses.
Most of their games already work with either dosbox or wine. If they would provide hints and/or shellscripts this would be even nicer.

The hallmark of enterprise java is the incidental complexity needed to implement a given abstract architecture due mostly to the strict limitations of the core language. Ruby's more powerful system allows you to implement architectures with an order of magnitude less ceremony (and some would argue safety) and without as much careful planning required to make sure every possible hook is in place up front. In the end, "enterprise ruby" architectures bear so little resemblance to enterprise java that the comparison is nonsensical.
I'm surprised this has been around since late 2012 and I've only just heard of this now.

The Youtube section I think was the drawcard for me, really neat UI.

I have heard of Guix, and I am quite excited about it. I am just waiting for it to catch up for me. In this regard, Nix and NixOS are also fascinating.

Maybe I am the last of the Linux kids using Stow, and I like it because it makes me worry less about source installations on my computer. It would be great to see Guix build on this idea. As much as I would love to transition to a new Linux distro, I would love even more having a ~/guix or ~/.guix path with different builds. If I really mess up my computer, I can delete this folder and all those binaries and the appropriate symlinks go away.

This is what worries me about NixOS. Eventually with Stow NixOS, and other declarative package management you hit a little where you cannot outhink your dependenices. If your root is nixos and everything else is symlinked, that sounds hard for a mere mortal like me to debug.

Precisely. Given this, is it such a surprise that Rust was initially written to use MinGW on Windows rather than MSVC back when it was an understaffed two-man project?

My stance, as a Netflix and Spotify subscriber is: I'd be happy to pay double what I'm paying right now if you would give me the content. If I had the ability to get the US Netflix library selection(Ireland here) for 16 euro a month I'd be delighted. Remember also, that we pay much more than you guys in the states do. You pay 60 euro a year, whereas we pay 100, and you get more content than we do. I don't get why they don't want my money.If I can't find it on netflix/spotify I'll check iTunes, which is usually a dead end, and then finally I'll pirate it. Why not let me pay 8 bucks a month for HBO access aswell, I'd happily do it!
With hindsight it's almost funny how the author has managed to write this nonsense with such self-assured tone, but at the time this view was quite prevalent. Working at the time for Symbian, I remember meetings where Apple were openly mocked by senior managers and technical leaders. The only competition that mattered was from Microsoft and Android. The iPhone it was believed, would never be sold beyond the niche high-end market. The most silly, almost insincere, part of these beliefs was the fact that one could walk down the street from our offices and pick up an iPhone at a price fractionally higher than an average Symbian phone (with a contract of course). There were many other reasons for the demise of Symbian as a platform (the leadership was naïve, but had the most inflated egos in the whole of industry due to their earlier success in 'scoring' Nokia), but the bottom line was that they had no idea what consumers wanted. Boring old men still nostalgically carrying their Psion 5s, whom I respected then and respect now for their technical expertise, but not for their business or even technological vision.

A small minority that I was part of tried quite hard to convince our peers that Apple were a serious threat. Everyone laughed at us, we were called Apple fanboys and were never taken seriously. I left soon after in a state of disillusion, but had to watch from the sidelines one of the most promising British 'startups' disintegrate into absolute irrelevance. The managers who ran this company into ground when it was the only one in leadership of that industry should hang their heads in shame. Nothing to take away from great designers at Apple and from the leadership of Steve Jobs, Apple owe a lot to the incompetence of Symbian leadership.

Yeah but for those that have no native linux clients that's not an officially supported way to play them, neither from GOG nor from other retailers.

The reason it matters is not for people like the typical HN user but for, say, my dad which is now using a linux laptop and plays some GOG games on it from "his past" but isn't technical enough to know how to fix it when there is a slight unimportant mis-configuration. If I wasn't there, he wouldn't be able to.

React solves all the problems in the world with their nestable but still autonomous components approach. It dispenses controllers -- and automatically give control to the component which deserves it --, it dispenses templates, and automatically gives the power to make the entire app in modular small pieces of HTML, it dispenses models, because models are already embedded in the components in which data is rendered.

React is the Holy Grail of JS frameworks.

Ruining kids lives because they wanted to help a peer find drugs seems pretty stupid. I guess when drugs are illegal it's difficult to draw a line of what's moral and what's not.

Most people think it's morally acceptable to arrest drug dealers.

Some people think it's morally acceptable to arrest drug users.

Now, if you think it's OK to take drugs, you may have conflicting feelings on drug dealers, you'd probably want drug dealers to be fair and honest and get their supply ethically (as ethical as possible). So you wouldn't have a problem with regulated drug dealers and other people buying and using drugs.

If you're a drug user and another drug user asks if you know someone that sells weed, you'd probably point them in the right direction. If you trusted this person and they passed $10 to you to pick up $10 of weed from this person you know. You'd probably agree, since you smoke weed, they smoke weed, you've bought from this person before for personal use. So you're acting like a middle man (Like many in this story). Then, upon given the weed, you are now classed as a drug dealer. Even though this person could have gone to the source themselves and cut you out. Although where is the line stop on who is a middle man? If I'm making no profit, would I really be a drug dealer or just a middle man? What about when the undercover let's a kid keep the change, is he then a drug dealer, since he made a profit. Well technically they're all drug dealers [sic], but where do you draw the line?

The kid in this article was arrested because he sold drugs to an undercover cop. Well, technically he took $20, bought a small amount of weed, then gave it to the undercover. Technically it's drug dealing. Most people seemed outraged by this, rightfully so, as it seemed the cop pressured him to get him drugs (kind of seems like entrapment?). Is this kid wasn't autistic would people be so outraged? What about if it was 1oz of weed that he was the middle man to? The problem with things like this is that there is a law that defines the lines that you may, or may not cross. So until laws are reformed that makes it not criminal to sell drugs, we won't get problems like this. But a massive reform like that would have many repercussions. So why not just make it not criminal to sell under $20 worth of weed. But does that make a difference? Since it's still being sold but on a smaller scale.

So, what I'm trying to say is, all the laws surrounding prohibition of drugs are stupid and when you have thousands of people involved in regulating the laws, it doesn't work out. The police officers in this case are only interested in the arrest numbers, so they can get more funding, so who's fault is that? Kids getting expelled for 'drug dealing', who's fault is that? The definition of 'drug dealer'? Who's fault is that? Illegal drugs? Who's fault is that? Should drugs be legal?
