I'm sure you have a point, but I just don't see it.
The greatest failures of our Agile dev team stem from absent Product Owners. Not because (as the article suggests) the engineers were incapable of deciding product features and direction. But because their hands were tied by the Agile process, which prevented them from proceeding without the blessing of the all-powerful PO.
Wow, that doesnt sound like they are gonna do "browser games". Awesome news!
Would it be so different with a good friend? If there if someone you are attached to, and if this someone is heading full steam toward a cliff or a dead end, you'll tell them, no? Or do whatever you can to help them. Or maybe you believe that anything about other people is not your concern in any respect?

Parenting is not an exception, it is not a different world where values change. It is just the same world, with people caring or not for others, with some responsibility and affection. It's just a bit more acute and produce good counter examples to those believing one should not care about others.

My third kid was born yesterday. I'm still getting drunk with friends once a week, I do my hobbies in the evening (programming, pictures, music), I spend very good moments with the kids, I let them grow and make sure they have plenty of different thing for their curiosity, gosh I even played gta with my 5yo boy, but I certainly would never encourage any of them to try to become a professional sport player, or e-sport. Or model. Or musician. The odds of having an happy life in these domains is infinitesimal.

How about just people, the demos, the supposed central element of a democracy.
Happy? Maybe the wrong word choice. Certainly folks can be happy doing these things. Maybe happier than any other job.
They probably cannot be wealthy doing those things.
Mostly because designing for e-Sports has a massive effect on options and creativity of an RTS - keeping the game balanced and fair for competitive play comes with a massive tradeoffs in creativity, faction diversity and player options (especially if the developer does not have large amounts of time for balance testing).

And since for some reason everyone wants a piece of that pie the RTSes have become a bit... bland. No more crazy unbalanced C&C superweapons, no more unfeasable "useless" underground units, no more extreme unbalanced side diversity of Relics DoW1, no more composable units of Earth 2150. The games got boring for everyone but the most core RTS group (which is probably already playing SC2) in SP. They got extremely unpleasant to play in MP if you're a beginner (SC2 is anything but fun on basic levels with it's economic timing pressure while playing).

As a consequence, the majority of SP players have rejected those games (and in a lot of cases moved to more accessible MOBAs) and the extremely pro community just isn't big enough to splinter into several games communities.
are there any news on what exactly they are developing? hl3 confirmed?

I get that it can be fun to fix things instead of replace them even if replacing them is cheaper. I just don't think it is frugal.

Right, but if you want the static checks for safety, then even if you run on something like Truffle, you will lose a lot of dynamic behavior. Either that or your static checks won't be able to check as much, and will give you weaker guarantees.
I maintain happy. In the article they said these gamers actually do bit like to play anymore. Same with music, in most cases professional musician hate playing music, but of course none of them will ever admit this.

What functional difference does this make? Do you really want to keep your JSON formatting? My guess is all MySQL does is create a shadow JSONB-like format either in-table or in the index.
Freedom needs institutions that strip evil from inertia, by making it loose power in combat against itself, by bleeding it dry and redirecting the ressources into new smaller evils.

That is what democracy basically consist off. Accepting that humanitys nature is a dangerous snake pit and building a machinery that converts snake venom and strangling motion into movement .
Great write-up. Sorry to see the post didn't draw many readers. If I was benevolent dictator of the HN front page, I'd put you there.
That's a narrow way of looking at it. More likely rule by government will simply be replaced with rule by cooperations (e.g. Gibson's trilogy) - it's not an unexpected movement since the role of governments has weakened significantly since the time when a large standing army in Europe gave dominance to a nation.

Will it be worse for the average person/family? Probably, yet I tend towards seeing it as a natural historical movement rather than some kind of craftily-perpetrated evil. For example Spengler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_Spengler) writes about the dominance of money and commercial interest as being the primary value at the aged point of a civilizations development (cf. the last couple centuries of ancient Rome).
Why does that mean MySQL is ahead? Postgres supports JSONB and JSON. Aren't they just equal now?

From your description, it sounds like Crystal is exactly what you want. But yeah, I don't know if it has a library ecosystem yet, or anything like that.
OCaml has separate compilation, a REPL, and it's very fast. None of those things is incompatible with global type inference (although particular type systems can be).
In this case, it's different. The Erlang/OTP approach involves maintaining internal supervisor trees that are bound to the semantics of the VM and its language constructs, whereas the author's involves using an OS process supervisor (daemontools) to just reexec the program every time it crashes/hangs. The potentials for data corruption and tainted state is higher in the latter, though it's still relatively good for a surprising number of problems.
Beta Testers Wanted for Presevent – Track the 2016 Presidential Election Events
Hi!

My name's Lea and my boyfriend and I just launched the website for Presevent - http://presevent.com/.

The beta version of the app will be out in the next week or so, and I'd love to have some of you guys help me test it out and improve it with any suggestions, comments, concerns or critiques!

Thanks!

What is Presevent?

Presevent is a new iOS app that tracks Election 2016 speeches, forums, and fundraisers to alert users about opportunities to see presidential candidates in-person. Presevent encourages political engagement and enables greater transparency in the American electoral process.

How does Presevent work?

Users of Presevent are shown the geographically closest upcoming events, so that users know when presidential candidates will be in their area. Presevent also lists the events' RSVP availability and cost of attendance. Users can add events directly to their iOS calendar, to remind them to attend the events they find most compelling.

How does Presevent change American politics?

With Presevent, users will have access to the information they need to hear the messages of Democratic and Republican presidential candidates across the United States.

Many presidential candidates purposefully limit the availability of information about their events to guarantee an audience of supporters, not curious voters. Additionally, media coverage of upcoming events often gives less precedence to candidates who lack large war chests, establishment endorsements, and other resources, which further compounds those candidates' disadvantages.

Presevent levels the playing field. By displaying event information for every candidate without bias, Presevent enables greater political engagement from everyday Americans and grows political transparency in the 2016 Election.

Team?

"I worry that anything digital is ephemeral..." This is a central issue for the digital humanities, which considers how to preserve our digital cultural heritage for the future. I think we can all agree that software is an important part of history. In the future, it will be increasingly important for historians to be able to use and read legacy format files and software. We need to be able to read digital documents of the past, whether they are from literary authors, government officials, or news outlets.
Agreed on everything but this line

> it would require the parents to be "cheapskates" and not fund any extracurricular trips like ski vacations and Spring Break parties down in Mexico

One would assume a 'frugal' household knows better than that and would want to pass their value system on to the next generation too. Want to get wasted in Mexico? Find a way to make it happen yourself.
If you agree with the assumptions being made by the author.
Even if you do not find it useful in your domain, not sure thats good reason to hate it.

In cases like those in the article, these savings aren't stowed away in gold bars under rich people's mattresses, they're mainly in investments that continue to yield dividends. Those investments are going to various companies that are actually doing something with that money, so it's still circulating through the economy. Is there something I'm missing? I admit I'm not as well-versed in economics as I'd like to be.

We measure calories in food by burning it in a lab and calculating the exact energy given off. Very precise. What we don't measure is how many pieces of that cob of corn I ate for dinner will pass through to my stool.

And I'll accept the comment that activities burn calories at predictable rates (they don't across populations -- look at exercise adaptation) but they can per individual. But treating the consumption of calories and the expenditure of calories as independent variables seems foolish. For an absurd comparison -- do you think my Caloric consumption over the next 24 hours would be identical if I consumed 10 calories of chocolate or 10 calories of amphetamines?

Physics works. A calorie is a calorie. But pretending that the human body treats all calories the same as a calorometer seems foolish.

The equation for happiness is simple. First of all you need your basic necessities covered, things like food, shelter, clothing, access to health care, plus interactions with other human beings and the possibility of having sex from time to time. Then your expectations have to be smaller than your achievements. When this doesn't happen, it's a recipe for depression.

It's easy to see how sports can lead to unhappiness, but to make matters worse, when comparing soccer or basketball or volley to e-sports, at least from those sports you get a healthy body out of it ;-)
According to here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/datatype-json.html

PostgreSQL doesn't preserve key ordering and strips multiple key/values pairs. I know some systems we have insist on JSON documents having a set order sequence. Also there are often legal reasons why you need the raw, unmodified data preserved.
I see the parent's point as being we need to stop referring to [plutocratic] oligarchies as democracies.

If you allow the rich to establish treaties that prevent nations from exercising sovereign power to bring those same rich people in to line, and you do it in private preventing the citizens/subjects from even knowing the details of the regime you intend to impose then you're operating well outside anything that can be described as democratic. TTIP seemingly intends to go further still, not only preventing nations from exercising sovereign powers against corporations but allowing the corporations (which are really proxies for the plutocrats) to exercise equivalent powers over those nations.

We've seen these sorts of powers in use by tobacco companies suing countries for trying to improve citizens health.

It's fantastic capitalism - profit above environment, profit above health, profit above morality, profit for the few against rights and freedoms of the many.
Unless they've sacked their money away under their mattress, it has been deployed back into the economy. It is either invested or in a bank where the majority of it has grown the pie of total dollars through loans (this is often not well understood). If I have ten dollars that I place in a bank, they will only hold the required reserve. Assuming this is 30%, then seven will get distributed in loans. The effective size of the money is now 17 dollars.
The person who created and posted that album was suspended from competing in organized tournaments for 18 months as a result of it.

Similarly, there was an example a couple years ago of someone who took to Twitter to post photos and insults at people he saw at a tournament, and he was also given a suspension from play.

Harassing people, or otherwise working to shame or cause discomfort to people at a tournament can, should and does result in real consequences.

So what you're saying is that there are US government-sponsored agencies putting fake people on Internet message boards inventing --- out of whole cloth --- disasters, industrial accidents, and misdeeds of foreign governments?

Can you cite a source?
Without even considering our present situation from a moral perspective, but simply acknowledging the pattern you just pointed out, it is obvious that there is a deep systemic flaw. Of course there is the very old argument of the apologists: "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others." But this is the incredibly predictable result of a system structured around the concept of everybody owning some small part of everybody else, controlling that interest with a vote, and outsourcing the execution to people who wear lapel pins.
Can we save the rhino from poachers with a 3D printer?
This is possibly the most reasonable piece I've seen linked on the topic. CRISPR/Cas9 techniques do not give us anything we couldn't do before--- after all there have been TALENs and zinc finger nucleases for quite a while. It just made the process of designing a new nuclease system much, much cheaper. However, no endonuclease driven system is going to be efficient at introducing mutations consistently. The basic problem is that these systems require the cooperation of the genomic repair systems of the cell. There are several ways which these repairs are mediated, and only one (homology directed repair) yields the desired outcome. That this happens at a low rate, and requires the introduction of DNA templates only diminishes the overall efficacy and multiplexity of the process.

Even when flooding cells with preassembled Cas9/gRNA complexes that are immediately active, the overall rate of homozygous introduction of the target mutation is in a few %. Knowing this, I find it hard to believe that CRISPR will be how we ultimately engage in high efficiency genome modification. It depends too much on the biology of the target system. That said, the hype around it has initiated a great and timely public discussion about the use of these tools in medicine.

Not 100%.. N3 and Turtle don't have the same expressiveness. Then there is XML...

Semantic web is quite easy when it comes to Linked Data (and RDF/S subset), but is becoming painful when more expressiveness is necessary.

Unfortunately, in many cases using only RDF/S is not enough, and some more heavyweight reasoning is required. This is both hard and not scalable for bigger sets of data.
Then there is the Open World Assumpltion, which is somehow contrary to what a typical person would expect. You can't easily validate your data for some missing property, because of what OWA assumes: we don't know so we can't tell if it's false...

Anyway Semantic Web has left a nice and mature technology stack, that is great for many tasks. Most of knowledge modelling use cases can be done with RDF and with multiple tools that supports it's creation, editing, reasoning, querying, visualisation, etc.
This is why there are still people encrypting with ciphers that use 64-bit blocks: because Schneier wrote one, and people "like" him.
Meh... Semantic Web is a field... it's like hating natural language processing or distributed systems for not having achieved much over the past 10 years. But the fact is they provide strong theoretical foundations for us to develop killer apps on top of.
XTS is the best option here, but what kills me is that all three modes have deficits, and they're not the same deficits. Pick your poison! But don't ask us to tell you which is which!

All correct, agreed. What it means is, there is some level of exercise that will consume enough calories to exhaust ready supply. Then weight loss occurs.

The silliness begins when folks start to bargain. How little exercise can I get away with? How can I eat a lot and not gain weight? Its this lazy concern that occupies everybodys thoughts and behaviors. They write whole books about it.

When in fact, if they'd get off their lazy butts and exercise, really exercise, they could forget about all those details. Physics could work for them.

And by exercise I mean ride that bike 20 miles over the lunch hour. With some stiff hills involved. Really exert yourself. But few want to do that. They want to ride a recumbent 5 miles on the flat and then eat 3 hamburgers. And complain that exercise clearly doesn't work because they're not losing weight.

Its astonishing how little exercise most folks have ever done in their lives. I'd go this far: most folks have never exercised. They've warmed up, and then stopped when they hit the point their muscles feel it. I know this - I've taken folks hill-riding and had them stop. "Something's wrong. I feel funny. My heart rate is up and my muscles are complaining". They'd never gotten aerobic in their entire lives, and were afraid of the feeling.
