I'm a fan of the techniques as described in : http://smile.amazon.com/Expert-Business-Objects-Books-Profes... Basically, it uses the underlying runtime to serialize the entire object to the other machine. The theory be

I ran into a lot of issues getting them to run on large sets of data. Simple doesn't mean easy ;)

Linq is a library that injects a whole bunch functional style operations on top of list-like objects. Technically speaking, its implementing a type-safe query (think SQL) language on top of them, but the difference is very minimal in practi

Yeah, my impression from reading Tourettes in the context of Steven Pinker' work is that its not that different from yelling 'fuck' when you stub your toe or something. The expressive mechanism just seems to be on a hairpin t

Do you know if they work with typed arrays?

If money is a means to an end, why not just find an employer who provides and supports that kind of work directly?

I'd argue that all 'games' are about manipulating attention - its just a question of what means they use to do so. Game design is really a sort of meta-game about designing systems that effect the behavior of players. Conside

"in order to compete at higher levels" implies that the we are talking about the players who can manage all of it. And if people can just 'ally' like you suggest, then isn't that the same as paying to win? Its not l

Cpu limit likely means you are doing an inf loop, at least in my experience. Its also possible that their rate limiter is not tied to the performance of the system, but rather to the wall-clock. Given that the simulator runs in the local br

I didn't realize you could buy in-game currency with money. I thought it was a one-way process (mining in game -> bits) used to create a real world value for items in game.

Yeah, the overhead of creating intermediate typed arrays is exactly what I'm trying to avoid with this.

Here's another video by Rick Hickey about transducers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mTbuzafcII - it was referenced in this great post detailing the transducer notion with Clojure, Scala, and Haskell: http:/&#

I didn't see anything about paying for stuff. It seems to be run entirely by donation as far as I can tell. I think that means it kosher: https://mojang.com/2014/06/lets-talk-server-monetisation/

I'd imagine the bitcoin mod would trigger on 'break emerald ore' in the world, and that a flag would be set upon 'place emerald ore' to prevent silktouch from causing it to be fired more than once.

I had a similar epiphany while learning about regular expressions in Perl. That connection with text processing is what helped me understand list comprehensions. They seem strikingly similar. For JS, I personally prefer lo-dash for this kin

If they really are emerald ores, you could pretty easily restrict the biome generation algorithm to only create extreme hills when there is money in the bank. I expect the "mobs are stronger the further away from spawn" is also me

This sounds a whole lot better than the bitcoin ran minecraft server where you were meant to put in your coins into the server's wallet... Then again, that XAPO thing sounds a little weird. Like most things bitcoin, I'm weary of a

I'll give them a pass if they end up using an older product that gets turned from an LGPL into an AGPL license so that the developer can change it from a free (speech+beer) into a free (speech) version.

I think a big factor to this is the mindset of the culture - if it's a "We're in this together" culture, I'm sure the CEO wouldn't mind. The question then becomes, is it a secretary/manager/ceo compla

This is actually one of the design decisions behind discourse.org - its hotly contested for much of the same reasoning. Expert users 'get' threads quickly, and cant even begin to put themselves in the shoes of an internet newbie.
