GSCS: Game servers in Docker containers
http://bfosberry.github.io/gscs/

It's a specification to let developers create docker container images for specific game servers, define how those game servers interact, and then anyone can deploy these images in containers in a pluggable, uniform manner.

X-post from vibrant reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/33r545/gscs_game_servers_in_docker_containers/
I would be very interested in this as well.
Pricing starts at $15 for the system we operate in San Jose.
Do you mean that only TLS is supported now?
I live in Westminister, MD. Will you guys be hiring and if so for what type of positions?

Clearly the passion project of one very detail-oriented developer.
It does have pie menus for the touch interface, but there is yet another interface:

So it would be OK to use GPL3 software in an embedded device whose programmability is deliberately and permanently disabled at the factory?

Where does a device's toaster-nature stop and its TiVo-nature begin?
I quit my job and travelled for almost year in South America. I later spent 2 years in grad school (studying social science) as part of an extended "break" to figure out what I wanted to do. I had no grand plans, goals nor did I become enlightened from it. I did learned Spanish and met my wife during my trip, so personally, it had a big impact in my life.

Definitely, had some regrets about grad school as it was a fairly academic program. I went straight back to coding/software after graduation.

My advice is, if you know what you want to do, just do it. There is no need to travel the world or go on any journey. But if you don't, or if you haven't travelled yet, then yes, it does wonders to expand your experiences.

BTW a remix using their basics would be huge :)

Either high tempo or down tempo would do great.
Hmm. Interestingly, both of us are being downvoted in this very thread. I spent a whole post saying, "I don't mind automatic moderation mechanisms", and am apparently being downvoted for that.

Well, now I kinda do mind.
Yeah, I expect we'll have a few more openings there. Right now we're hiring a City Manager for Westminster - details are here: http://www.tucows.com/careers/

yep, conversion to ratings has been super low. I don't ask for that very well at all inside of the app. A good % of downloads were bulk education downloads as well, which don't convert. If I'd done better at asking for reviews inside the app, I think that number would be much higher.
not a fan of the "downvote if you disagree" culture that is going on around here. I've been to jail and would agree with that.

only thing I wouldnt agree with is stand up for yourself no matter what. there are times when walking away just works. sometimes people just want to be the alpha, and the smart thing to do (many times) is to let them do that.
Marketplace, Prime and AWS have been home runs, but their digital device track record has been pretty mixed. Bezos has been pretty stubborn about it since the Kindle - Fire tablets, Fire phone, Echo, and Dash. I wonder when the Amazon smart watch will be coming out.
No, it's not a "major hack." That blog post is excellent, but it just doesn't always apply.

The panic/recover idiom is extremely useful in parsers. For example, Go's JSON decoder: http://golang.org/src/encoding/json/decode.go
So are these funny green bottles of "coke life" I see everywhere a kind of NewCoke3?
If someone was as bomb-happy as I was when exploring, the game would tell you a super missile is required to proceed when a bomb explodes. Bombed blocks change to show what smashes them.

Best decision of my whole life so far. It requires attaining an incredible amount of humility, selling everything, even that couch you like. You probably won't be back and storage costs a fortune, basically get rid of all of your material possessions. That's really by far the hardest part then take the smallest amount with you that you can.

And... suddenly, life seems brighter. I left north america probably 5 years ago, wasn't satisfied with the uk though. I don't need to spend all of my money financing a stressful lifestyle. Most places outside of na make it easy to rent a furnished apartment. Life outside of na is largely much cheaper when compared to large na cities. And life outside of na is much more interesting because it's there due to longer than 250 years of history.

Feels great man.

If you're a software engineer, you can basically work anywhere.
I'm a high school teacher. After four years of teaching, I quit my job and spent 13 months living on a bicycle. I went Seattle > Maine > Florida > California > Alaska.

I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It's nearing 20 years since I started that trip, and that experience still keeps me grounded today. I plan to bicycle across the continent again in my 50's or 60's to see how much has changed, and how much has stayed the same.
In a few years, the US will have Internet speeds of a few years ago!

Seriously, though, I hope they're laying fibre that will give them plenty of room to deliver at least 10Gb.
No, they're Coke Classic with Stevia in place of some of the sugar.
Same here. Sadly this is happening more and more - e.g. I can no longer read the Guardian online since they "revamped" the site some months ago. Ridiculous really - it's just static content fercrissakes, just serve it already

I've been noticing that same transformation in my own perception of webdesign.

As I become more and more jaded about web "3.0" flat this, paralax that, my font is bigger than your font bullshit, the more nostalgic I become about default browser styles and table layouts from the 90s.

oh and the colours =)
I used a previous version of this manuscript in a class, and it was more descriptively called 'Computer Science Theory for the Information Age'. It's a collection of stuff computer scientists ought to know about probability, (high dimensional) statistics, ML, randomized algorithms, etc. They seem to have sexed up the title a bit; at least it does not contain "Big".
He and his partner locate restaurants by concentrated student population / bar areas. By the slice -- $3 to $4. By the pizza: $16 to $26, ranging from plain cheese to steak or various types of chicken.

Margins are quite good (I'd rather not disclose w/o permission), but remember demand varies quite a lot by day and hour, plus plummets during the summer when students aren't around.

I think the author makes a couple flawed assumptions. First: that all people are motivated primarily by money, and second: things that have no direct monetary value have no value.

Some people value the work they do, or the work their company does. Some people value their teams and the people they work with on a daily basis. Some people value working in a nice space, or their own spaces. Some people would like to look back at 65 at what they have built, rather than what they have earned, not really caring that they may have earned 20% less.

I do agree that chasing seniority for title only can be a fools errand. A higher title can be a substitute for self-esteem issues, but on the other hand, it can also lead to higher pay scales.

Also, I've known companies to reward those "corporate idealists" with more than just carnival tickets.... If your company doesn't reward putting in the occasional extra hour and seeing things through to completion, it's a bad company to work for.
Aye. The Debian compile rules for Jessie's OpenSSL include "no-ssl2 no-ssl3 no-ssl3-method" so it's just TLS1.0 onwards available.
I don't necessarily agree with parent, but see Gran Turismo for a game that got a lot easier, with more content, as the series developed.

I'd love to see someone comparing the licence tests in each game.

Please, for the love of all that is good and holy, explore the idea of deploying in Boston proper.

The state refused to give Verizon tax breaks years ago, so they abandoned their plans to ever deploy FiOS within Boston city limits. Surrounding communities have it, but we don't -- only Comcast. Now, to be fair to Comcast, I've never had a service problem save for 1-2 days in the past 6 years. They were also very quick on IPv6 and 6-to-4, and they actually deliver the bandwidth I pay for. Yet I would gladly pay for yet more bandwidth.
Super Metroid is easily in my top ten of greatest games ever, along with Zelda 3.

One concept that's interested me is metroid as purgatory.

-Samus often repeats the same mission over and over with minor changes. Her enemies are generally Kraid, Ridley, Mother Brain, evil Samus(SA-X, Dark Samus)

-Samus is constantly repeating work getting the same power-ups and soon losing them after she completes the mission.

-Samus is mostly completely alone, unless saved by something else at the end. Everything in metroid's design emphasizes isolation.

-She blows up the planet/starship/space station, with a desperate race against time.

-Soon there is a new mission...

She's forced to repeat the same thing over and over. Perhaps she is stuck here eternally, a hell created as a reflection of her life. Perhaps there is a lesson to be learned, like with the infant metroid before she can live.

The game design emhasizes isolation - there are only enemies, except artifacts left by the Chozo. Samus can only depend on herself. The world is designed to emphasize isolation from the real world by putting her on caverns below the surface of uninhabited planets. The art is designed to look like no human has set foot here. The gameplay teaches you through the world.
I'm not sure how I feel about the logo and link to foxbusiness.com on their page.
I guess that is one way to get new housing built in SF.
The key difference to this classic design style is that the Souls games don't really have the "invisible hand" guiding them in the right direction. It's almost the opposite.

Almost everyone who played Dark Souls probably has a story about heading in the wrong direction from the first hub world, and ending up in one of two locations that are almost impossible for a newbie (typically the skeletons) rather than the intended "slightly harder than the tutorial" area. The only thing that varies is how long they spent hopelessly beating their head against the wall before discovering the intended path.

In Bloodborne that's been replaced by half the players new to the series not realizing they can equip a weapon, and consequently spending hours trying to defeat the (rather tough) first enemy barehanded.
If you believe enough, can you invalidate a patent? Supreme Court to decide
Yes: I'm a parent.
I had a look at the docs on github (I haven't checked the source yet) but it doesn't mention if it supports more than one domain (or SNI, but I'm assuming it would piggy back on Go's support for SNI).

If it doesn't yet support multi domain will it ever?

Interesting. Not a fan of this type of "music", but it could be cool to tie my production system in Minecraft (logistic pipes) to play different sound effect each time some item was requested or produced. Perhaps the results would be similar and I would get an instant feedback on how well the system is running.
If the Trackpoint can be called the "Joy Button", then this patented invention of Ted's can only be called the "Joy Button Frobulator".

I imagine that somewhere deep in Lenovo's labs there are a few refrigerated shipping containers from IBM full of these contraptions, working hard all day and night, poking and tweaking and twiddling and twisting hundreds of Trackpoints, making a dynamo hum like so many centrifuges applying rotation in a secret lab.

Assembly suitable for life testing a multi-dimensional force transducer

>US 5544530 A
ABSTRACT
A test assembly suitable for life testing a computer pointing stick includes a rigid shaft that is rotated by a motor and a mounting mechanism for holding and positioning the pointing stick under test in a coaxial relationship with the rigid shaft. A cantilever spring arm is rigidly connected at one end to the rigid shaft so that it rotates with the rigid shaft and is mechanically coupled under lateral spring tension at its other end to the pointing stick. The spring rotates with the rigid shaft and applies lateral force to the pointing stick via a collar attached to the pointing stick, the direction of the applied force rotating with the rigid shaft and cantilever spring. A counter records the cumulative number of flexure cycles required to make the pointing stick functionally fail.

Weighing in at an astounding 37, Ted Selker wins the award for Most Uses of the Phrase "Rigid Shaft" in a Patent!
There's a fantastic series on YouTube that examines some of these types of game and level design elements in a similarly academic way. The episode on Half-Life 2's Invisible Tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMggqenxuZc) is particularly well done.
The video on that page is worth watching, game itself is really impressive:

>One of my friends spent two years in Japan and claims that she was more homesick upon returning home (USA) than she ever was in Japan.

I can empathize with that. I spent a year and a half in New Zealand and near the end of it I travelled back home to spend Christmas with my family and old friends. Upon returning to New Zealand, I experienced that distinct "coming home" feeling more so than when I returned to what I had been thinking was my home.

How did using Go feel compared with other languages, I'm a php, ruby, python guy. Just wondering your opinion on why you chose Go?
Hah, I have thought so many times about making something like this since I am not fond of Reddit as an interface for AMAs. But every time I just stopped at thought how am I going to lure people away from r/IAMA. Good luck =)
Appreciated, but just to nitpick, you might want to spell it "pray", not "prey". With "prey" there is the association "a person or thing that is the victim of an enemy, a swindler, a disease, etc.; gull."

Which is a thing that always tends to come up at a time when lots of people are looking for ways to help.
I think that's how they intend to structure it. They want a 16 month commitment with prorated contract of $55k.

I am yet to see the contract to see how the 120 day (4 month) is defined.

They did mention that they would have check to see if this was legal and implied that if it wasn't they would pay for me to do a "java bootcamp" and then they would go from there.
The point is that someone can inspect that code, not that everyone needs to inspect every piece of source code they use. If the source isn't available, no one can inspect it. That is qualitative different than providing the source code.
this will answer your question: Angry Birds was Rovio’s 52nd game. They spent eight years and almost went bankrupt before finally creating their massive hit.
Averaging 60 hours a week - for a career - at a corporate job as a developer? That's not something I've witnessed. Projects can ramp up and down, but sustaining that level of hours for long clips is only something I've seen at startups where the whole team is invested. If you're putting in 60 hours every week, for years, for some corporation, then you've been had.
The disease maps also work across species. I publised a paper on the topic a few years ago. http://www.pnas.org/content/107/14/6544.full

Presumably a secure implementation would just batch up evaluations into groups of ten or a hundred. You could make something like this work.
Great guide. I really love the step by step approach on how to do all of this things.

GOOD JOB sir!
well, it's not so dangerous, don't stop people to do it. Better to donate with chance 50% that this money will go to Nepal directly, than don't donate at all.
"Reverse Culture Shock" on returning home is a definite thing. After all, you have moved forward in your life and your 'home' (friends, colleagues, and the city/town itself) have moved forward as well, but not together.

Hi, I'm the developer of SymbolHound. You're right, SymbolHound's index is a little lacking, especially for new languages. This is because it's based almost entirely on a stackoverflow data dump (http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/06/stack-overflow-creativ...) from when I first made it (2011). Swift was released in 2014, so there are no results. I'm planning to update it when I have the time.

Thanks,

I've been thinking about focusing on JavaScript as all roads seem to lead to Javascript at the moment.

I do think that MEAN stacks (or staying within Javascript) might end up being a competition to the Ruby on Rails world, but that is speculation at the moment. Hard to really tell which way the wind will blow.
Interesting. I haven't thought about that. It should be possible, but is not implemented yet. Go does indeed support SNI, but I'm using ListenAndServeTLS at the moment + I'm loading only one SSL certificate right now.

I'll add that to the list as well. I think that might be a useful feature.
Love the clean, functional deisgn. Great job!
Around my third year in mathematics, I had the same realization: I did not know what I wanted to specialize in. After some thought, I understood it to be because I did not know enough about all the various fields to make a solid decision.

Though mathematics and computer engineering are two distinct fields, consider that this may be a similar position to the one you are in.

Thanks for the heads up about copy/paste, looks like a bug has crept in with regard to the this functionality. I'll fix this in the next day or two.

>What would you say makes your app better than Axure for example?

1) I think the library of functional components is pretty cool. Also the workflow with respect to nesting components is quite powerful and mimics actual GUI toolkits which makes it quick/easy to build up complex UI designs.

Here's a video that quickly covers some of the key features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiQDAvltyXY

2) To my knowledge there is no other prototyping tool that has a code editor like UX-App. As you mention it is modeled after Scratch which I have found to be an awesome way to get novice programmers quickly up to speed (I'm a high school IT teacher).

Here's a video that demonstrates the code editor in more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbs1jeBNsyU

3) The device preview is very powerful and seamless. You can connect any number of devices and UX-App will push updates directly to all devices. UX-App will automatically deal with touch/gesture events so that everything works across mobile and desktop seamlessly.

Here's a quick video that demonstrates this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2mNRCmkQfo

If you're downloading random unsigned debs/rpms from the internet and installing them, then you're just as wrong as downloading/execing a binary.

If you're downloading rpms/debs, verifying the signatures, and you trust the signer, then you're probably fine. Those signature signing/checking mechanisms are already built into rpm/deb, which is why they're being argued for.
