Bigger boards come when your army size grows (otherwise you would have real trouble filling them). That's why I didn't look at them - there are hardly any games played on them (at least not enough to pick up any statistical releva

Included inside: an sqlite3 DB with the starting/ending positions of the games, so you can run your own analysis over them.

It's definitely planned (I have a 'formations' table ready to go), I just haven't spent the time to build it yet.

Yeah, it's a problem with no great solution. That's one reason why I allowed registered users to make multiple armies.

Let's see... I haven't written a post mortem yet, partly because I'm still building it, and partly because I hadn't seen it under heavy load (although I woke to emails from linode screaming at me about high CPU usage) *

I made this as an experiment. It's an idea that I've been toying with for a long time, but I only just got around to building it.

I hate this attitude that 'If you're using it, you have no right to complain'. Sure, you can always vote with your feet, but there are often times when I really like a service, but a certain feature, or a certain decision r

Oh, I'm well aware. In Australia, I remember seeing a number of the telcos advertising "mobile data with free access to facebook and twitter". One of the catchup TV services also has "unmetered access" deals with a

I can see some possible issues, too. If you want to take a hard line approach, this breaches net neutrality just as much as slowing or charging access to other sites. Sure, Wikipedia is already the defacto source of information for a lot of

That seems... disturbing. What are the practical applications of this outside of stalking?

I just label my fields appropriately, and put a "skip to form" link (like a "skip to content" link). Other options exist like using media detection, or JavaScript (very few bots run JavaScript on pages. It slows down the

Everyone loves to forget that America was also a British penal colony[1]. They also love to forget that America also has the highest rate of incarceration in the developed world[2]. Stop with the "Australia is a penal colony" bull

I remember asp classic. It was the defacto standard for programming on the web, until something better replaced it. That something was PHP. PHP means access to easy to install, ready to go software, which meets 95% of the needs of small bus

Before this turns into a recanting of the points in the "PHP is a double-clawed hammer" post again, I would like to remind people that PHP still has a place in the business world that nno other language has stepped up to fill. ht

Good to see this one up on HN. I've been running http://www.weneedthenbn.com/ since Saturday night, and it's been getting a bit of traction, too. My phone call to my local MP wasn't exactly promising - while

I hold out hope that even if the LNP wins tomorrow's Australian election, enough coverage of the actual cost of losing the NBN will sway them to maybe keep the plans mostly intact. It's unlikely, but one can hope.

Every time I end up using windows, I end up frustratedly middle-clicking, expecting text to come out. I have been using MATE to remain productive (gnome 3 and Unity really don't fit my workflow), so this won't really affect me, bu
