Do you have an example that shows how to use ARel to do relational algebra?

Thank you. It tells me there is a significant enough difference. You mentioned a technical issue, the handling of big raster images. Does it run out of memory quickly in comparison to Photoshop? What is the issue? I thought I remember g

Did you learn Photoshop before playing with Gimp?

Let's just pretend we are binding values. There are ways to make perl look like you are doing parameter assignment. sub { my $builder = shift; return sub { my $n = shift; return $builder->(

Minor quibble, but I share your concern. It is more of a developer choice rather than a github limitation. github supports pod format, README, and I have no idea what else, displayed on the front page of a project. You can also supply a

Good question for the devs. "git apply-reverse-patch" was probably too long for a fairly common operation? I suppose when you are trailblazing with a new paradigm, you are allowed to redefine things. I don't let those kinds of things bot

Don't use "git reset" to revert committed changes. Well... do, but be careful... The word "revert" is problematic here, and I suppose that "reset" is a bit awkward, too. In git, a "revert" means you are creating a new commit that is the re

It is more that the git API uses terms that have been used in past VCSes in different ways, so it is a matter of helping new users to unlearn their original mental model from older VCSes and to learn the new model. I am mostly convinced th

Dark Mists is also a bit different and has been running for over 13 years. (Disclaimer: I host the game.)

And for multiplayer versions of these, wherein players compete against each other or work together, there are still many MUDs and MUSHes online.

Does that apply to activity recorded in a public area?

Can somebody explain to me why investing in something like CiscoGuard does not obsolete this kind of attack? Eight years ago I heard about this technology, the ability to drop packets at line speed, and I have been confused since that DD

Thank you for this reference. I was curious if there was some formal work on this subject. This was one of the holes in my studies.

Yes. Very often, administrators and victims do not know when their password is compromised. The policy of changing it is to cut present access off from those who already obtained it. It is just an additional safeguard over intrusion de

I have considered the "hellban" in the past for supertrolls on the Dark Mists forums, but I think our players are not so easily duped, and it could lead to worse fires to put out. The problem is that they do not just have one account on th

Interesting nits. In my earlier days, I explored Erlang and found it very easy to pick up. The only challenge for me at the time was thinking the ML way. I was very excited about the actor model. The syntax never bothered me. In a way,

I would like to know the real answer on this, too. I have read from people who claim to have been on the industry's inside (went to school for it, etc). The claim is that there are a bunch of logical steps based on false premises/beliefs

Is the real pro-XML argument, then, that it currently has support? As far as I know, there is nothing inherent to JSON to prevent anyone from writing a streaming parser.

Good point on the expression. However, that implied permission doesn't extend to you reposting the same code on your web site. I wonder if the technology changes this. Here is what comes to mind: Is it okay if in my copy I provided an at

I am a little confused on where the lines are drawn, and hopefully someone can clear this up for me. Let's keep focused on copyright law; TOS covers some of these other issues, but I am curious where things like DMCA can apply. I am extend

Generics/friends/multimethods are one of the solutions identified on the slides you posted (and protocols are interesting), but I did not see mention of appropriate namespaces for these.

This issue of where to place functions is something I have been curious about, too. In the Lisp community, what are the standards for where to store your generic methods as opposed to defined classes they work with? Rephrased, if I define

Do you mean like online interactive games? I do not know if this is what you were looking for, but I have seen some interesting behaviors arise depending on how the system is set up in Dark Mists. Usually it has to do with where the reward

For those like me who internally struggle on which is the preferable language to study in depth (OCaml or SML), here is a practical source for SML: http://only.mawhrin.net/~alexey/sysprogsml.pdf

This is true, but it has advantages. For example, system log files are much smaller. :) When I adopted this policy on my own systems, it was to help me change my worry profile from "noise from every random bot on the net" to "targeted att

I am in this camp, as stated in the other HN thread on today's front page: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2560599 Yes, Sony has bad security. Yes, some kid hacked and released his hack to the public, and Sony had that reaction comin

The sad part is that I'm sure a majority of the gamers sony really targets ... still think geohot or anonymous or santa is to blame. As a fellow PS3 player, I have an alternate point of view: I do not care about anyone's personal crusades

I found the game really enjoyable when I did not have to listen to people making remarks about my playing...by lowering the voice volume all the way. It also saved me from having to listen to random strains of someone's music or breathing.
