It is done in Python in _Collective Intelligence_ (chapter 11), but author abstracted some stuff away in a class, so it does not directly evolve Python syntax. Although that would be doable, even on byte-code level...

The front page of /r/programming at any one time is filled to the brim with trendy languages that most people have rarely if ever used in the real world. It would be so nice to have practical content with real-world applicability, and I don't just mean C/C++ talk but things like data structures, algorithms, and so forth. Yet it's a constant stream of either trendy languages (I remember a span of about six months where it was all Haskell, all the time) or buzzwords like agile development.
Look at how positively people responded to the Quake 2 source code review. It was so refreshing to have legitimate content discussing algorithms, optimizations, and real-world programming instead of Yet-Another-Trendy-Functional-Language.

We've moved to Scrum development ever since our newest (read, we have like 3) manager started working here. He took over the development/it team completely and revamped it for the better. We are getting a lot more done, and its making both sides of the fence very excited.
The issue is "Nothing is added in the middle of a Sprint", unfortunately thats not the case for us. Because we don't have a support team, we have to support all the existing software that is being used. If there's a bug, and its normally a business issue that they need us to point out to them, we call it a "showstopper" where basically we work to get it done and they push something from the bottom out. It's nice, but it becomes overwhelming, especially when you're in the middle of a ticket (or story).

so does LSD = Lysergic acid diethylamide or Lucid Sleep Data (base)? haha just curious :) ... I'm a natural lucid dreamer, most of my dreams are passive lucid dreams. It would be fun to play around with some of those tools on the linked website though, but it says none of them are actually for sale.

Rather than making up an arbitraty fitnes function why not use something established (e.g. Levensthein distance).
I've build a version that uses it and from a few tests it seems to reach the target faster (although I also slightly changed the gene selection from the parents).
If any one is interested you can find my version here: https://gist.github.com/1248310

What I have found from following the trendline of the burndown chart is that you get an *idea* of the projected completion time based upon current velocity. This projected completion time goes from being wildly inaccurate at the beginning of the project (large number of stories with large complexity points, best guess at velocity) to being more accurate as the project moves forward (experience allows more accurate sizing of stories, good idea of velocity).

This is a pretty fancy talk around, but the real issue is simply that you didn't call the mating destroy function to a setup function. That's how memory leaks happen, it's pretty basic. It's like you called malloc without free.

nope. the existing Linq operators operate on IObservable and IObserver, which don't know about priority, so if you used a Linq query, priority information would be lost.
i could have made IPriorityObserver be a IObserver, and IPriorityObservable be a IObservable, but i think it's better that you don't accidentally use a IObservable operator on a IPriorityObservable (due to said loss of information).

I think he meant that most of those tasks (transformation, lighting, tesselation etc) are performed by software running on general purpose processing cores.
The only dedicated graphics hardware in modern GPUs (that I can think of now) are texture samplers, the rasterizer and video output. Everything else is general number-crunching, and you can make it fold proteins or simulate climate just as easily as transform vertices and compute per-pixel lighting.

Looking at it this way, yeah it's not great :) But it's more to protect the team from the other problem: having user stories replaced by something else in the middle of the sprint and never finish anything 100%. So now we take sprint planning very seriously and haven't modified a backlog in the last 6 sprints or so.
We never finish way ahead of time but usually if the backlog is finished, people start working with the product owner on the next sprint backlog, doing PoCs and investigation work for instance.

10 Fill a 9x9 grid completely with random numbers.

30 if solution is not valid, go to 10
40 remove 50 numbers for easy, 65 numbers for medium, and 75 for hard.

It's that the tech provides a necessary, but not sufficient, means for a game to be successful, coupled with the combination of _all_ the tech necessary for a title being unrealistic for another company to reproduce. So John Carmack can talk about megatextures etc. all day long and more, but you _still_ won't be able to reproduce id Tech 5 from all of the details he lays out.

It's a sample project that shows how to structure your code to get it to build -- with unit tests! I found the resources online remarkably difficult to read if you don't already know OCaml and just want "a multi-file project, with tests!" This gives you that and lets you build off it as an example.

I find it weird that they have a separate variable for size instead of just setting INDIVIDUAL_SIZE to the length of the string at the beginning of the function, but it is interesting to watch it try to solve the problem with the wrong length.

Legally, though, the company still owns it, which means you have to ask them for permission to talk about it. Imagine you're the lead engineer on some piece of software. 10 years later, maybe you don't even work for the company anymore. You knock on their door and say, "Hey, you know that thing I did for you guys? I'd like to tell everybody exactly how it works. Do you mind?" I have a feeling that in most cases, the reflexive response would be "no." Or you can skip asking permission, in which case you have to worry about being sued for it.

I know how you feel, we're in the exact same situation. It's not great but we have a similar solution where we allow 2 people to work on customer related issues at any time, and if more are required, we discuss it more seriously during the scrum meeting.
These tasks don't come in the backlog for us though, we only track how long we spend on these issues per sprint, and try to take that into account during the next planning. Not ideal but it sort of works.

Another helpful thing with reviews of specific products is to look for lots of people having the same kinds of issues, that usually tells you the seller is not really interested in resolving them, especially when those reviews are spread out over a long time.

Where I work we have been gathering data for a long time about the initial estimates, time spent, number of errors at each stage, etc.
You can never predict the future 100% correct but based on historical data, gathered from many developers on many projects we can usually create a pretty realistic estimate.
Of course it helps that we are a software company, from the higher ups to the guy who started last week everyone has been a developer and understand the process and what could go wrong.

And? Do you have a mouth? Explain problems and concerns to upper management as well.
They are not as stupid as you might think they are.
I have not met anybody who is worth as salt as a professional who is using term 'crying to upper management'. To me it seems like you have other issues on your hand and not just Scrum.
At the end of a day are not a company janitor, you are a professional developer.

Crazy! We threw in the idea to allow one person in the team to have a product-less sprint and have them deal with support. The only issue is that some of the systems are so segregated that maybe only one person in the team can handle it. With the new manager we began building a whole new infrastructure so these types of fragmentation doesn't happen again.

> Estimate this fairly complicated feature that you really have no idea how long it's going to take.
Easy answer. The story size is 32 (or Extra Large). Why? It's a complicated feature that I have no idea how long it's going to take.
Story points *are not* a time measurement.
> Maybe the problem is not a company's implementation of Scrum/Agile/whatever, it's that these processes are designed for an idealized, fantasy world that doesn't exist.
This is a problem with any software methodology, not just Agile. It turns out that most software organizations are characterized by dysfunctional relationships between programmers, project managers and product owners. This is a cultural problem in the software industry reflected in the high failure rate of projects.
Agile is different in that it focuses on communication and measurement of project health, and if anything else, the key benefit to Agile is that it makes it quite clear that the project will fail very early on in the process, allowing either the business to scrap the project or allowing developers to flee while they still have the chance. Daily scrums, sprint reviews, all these things are to facilitate communication, but if no communication is happening, something is very wrong and it has nothing to do with Agile.

From what little actual knowledge I have of Scrum, I've realized that the process must be adapted to the team, and not the other way around. It seems to me that lots of teams try to apply the process by the book, and the respecting the whole process becomes the goal in itself.

I've had a couple of lucid dreams before.. but they are rare (I don't dream every night). I have noticed, however, that after having one lucid dream, more and more of my dreams have become lucid.
It was pretty crazy dreaming and realizing "Hey, I can control what happens here." and just making stuff happen. Best dreams ever.

Actually GPUs still have dedicated hardware for some tasks (like the transformation + lighting part - see the special `ftransform` GLSL function for example, which was available in GLSL until recently, and the tesselation which is done in hardware).
Sure, it is a programmable pipeline, but it still is a (mostly) rigid structure. You don't really get to access 100% of what the GPU can do when you use something like CUDA or OpenCL. Of course you can do a lot of stuff and GPUs are going towards something like being just number crunchers and nothing else, but at this point we're not there yet.

Well you're accusing me of things without knowing any background or having proper information on your hands. Sounds exactly like your usual manager as well.

I'm starting to gather that impression, myself. I actually participate in two separate scrum teams and each has a unique approach to the whole process. It's pretty empowering to realize that I can decide how much work I can comfortably finish within a timeframe instead of having to be balls to the wall all the time.

The headline is misleading because it sounds like a condemnation of Scrum, when in fact it's a pretty enlightened guide to implementing Scrum properly. Honestly I'd just get rid of all the Scrum terminology, stay agile, and adapt to the specific needs of your organization.
The fourth point he makes about defining "Done" is way more important than most people realize.

> As a developer, you can always reject sprints.
Yea right. Maybe if you are in an organization that doesn't have any problem or a really good manager, but I have worked several places where saying "we can't do this much" gets a "sure you can, just work harder". Arguments about capacity get sidelined to "but the business needs all of these things by next week, so re-estimate them". I have worked at these places and it is really all too common (note past tense: I have a much more reasonable job now).
The idea that developers can just say "the estimate is this" or "I reject this sprint" is extremely naive.

But this still comes back to the ridiculous notion that by saving 1 *second* every minute it justifies weeks/months of getting to grips with something like vim. And as for these boxes that only have vi and ed: ಠ_ಠ
Maybe its just the sort of work i do (mainly python scripting for Maya and proprietary vfx tools) but come on! It's 2011, aren't we all creating GUIs in visual basic to track down that killers IP address by now surely?

This is not really "evolution" in the sense that the gene pool is forcibly made to *converge* on a known target, whereas true evolution is when a gene pool *diverges* from its parent generation into multiple new ones, and the ones that better fit the environment remain. You could say the target string is the environment, but that's only a fixed target. The environment is constantly changing to produce new species, so evolution never ceases. In this example, it does cease when one final target is reached.

I guess developers need better ways to explain what is a broken software. I doubt anybody would agree to buy a house which is not build according to standards, is full of holes, can fall any time. But somehow if it is software it is ok. Maybe because they don't see how software can be full of holes?
> The pain of developers is immediate.
Well, it depends. Some people like making things quick and dirty.
I mean, sometimes you can make a whole application done in a few days, if you don't care about documentation and ideal object design. Maybe it would take a year making it following all practices.
Developers generally like implementing features, things which work, so doing it quick and dirty can be joyful in this sense.
But if app is boring, it would suck twice.
Then again, even if it is boring you can try solving it in a creative way, say, through implementing a custom DSL first.

Perfect thread to ask functional programming bros out there.
Inside [here](https://github.com/mailrank/mysql-simple/blob/master/Database/MySQL/Simple/QueryResults.hs), I see multiple repetitive function definitions like this:
instance (Result a) => QueryResults (Only a) where
convertResults [fa] [va] = Only a
where !a = convert fa va
convertResults fs vs = convertError fs vs 1
instance (Result a, Result b) => QueryResults (a,b) where
convertResults [fa,fb] [va,vb] = (a,b)
where !a = convert fa va; !b = convert fb vb
convertResults fs vs = convertError fs vs 2
and I remembered seeing similar things in one of clojure libraries as well.
What is the reasoning of defining it this way and what happens if QueryResults receive more than 10 arguments?
I am a curious bystander looking to learn functional programming and Haskell sounds amazing.

This is a neat little library, but the underlying premise is worrisome to me. I think the power of the observer pattern is that it decouples both observables from observers and *sibling observers from each other*. If I have observers that have some temporal dependency with each other (i.e. one needs to receive notification before the other) that implies some subtle coupling between the two and I feel weird using observers for that.

Sounds exactly like my company. Add managers that are completely detached from what you're actually doing (we had guys/girls from media design agencies join cause of their certificate while we're developing video games) and it all goes downhill from there.

Unless I'm badly misremembering, the main reason Microsoft came up with XPS was because Adobe sued them when they tried to put PDF generation directly into what eventually became Windows Vista. Faced with the desire to have a PDF-like document format built-in to Windows, and forbidden from making that be PDF, they came up with XPS.
http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2006/11/8254.ars has some notes on that after the PDF support had already been axed and Microsoft adopted XPS (see the last paragraph) that seems to back up my memory.

No, but I remember a lucid dream that was more vivid than the daily life, everything, the colors, the smell, the breaths of air that i took, the temperature, the light, everything was more "real than real" ... During that day, after awakening, I had an intense feeling of still being in the dream and I did reality checks almost all day ... was pretty wild that day.

I'm personally a big fan of the work of BalusC. He wrote an excellent starting point some time ago:
http://balusc.blogspot.com/2011/01/jsf-20-tutorial-with-eclipse-and.html
and just recently a very thorough follow-up:
http://balusc.blogspot.com/2011/09/communication-in-jsf-20.html
A lot of followup links are mentioned in his articles, which are worth checking out if you need more info.
The following links from the company where BalusC works for are also interesting:
http://jdevelopment.nl/minimal-3tier-java-ee-app-xml-config/
and
http://jdevelopment.nl/simple-java-based-jsf-custom-component/
To learn more about the internals and some of the motivations around JSF a standard book is JavaServer Faces 2.0, the complete reference:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/JavaServer-Faces-2-0-Complete-Reference/dp/0071625097/
Unfortunately, the book contains some errors and omissions and a second edition or even an online errata is long overdue. Still, it's an interesting read if you have enough knowledge to recognize the errors.
Although I haven't read it myself, a number of people I know were enthusiastic about this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Core-JavaServer-Faces-Sun/dp/0137012896/
Finally, for most practical questions regarding JSF, I found stackoverflow to be the best resource on the net (it's a very good resource for tons of platforms/languages, but in particular for JSF it's the best one).

SCRUM works fine if, as the author says, everyone buys into the idea.
One observation I've made (I'm a developer), is that a lot of developers tend WANT to put testing and QA into seperate tasks, in order to show that they're doing it. Stop this nonsense. QA and Testing are not a prioritizable work items in the backlog. No product owner wants testing or QA, because they don't know what it means, and all they see is the overhead it creates.

I want to take the output from a window, load it as an OpenGL texture, and redisplay it as a video overlay. The goal is to write some software to work with games and emulators to enable head2head gameplay. I would like to keep the other window in focus so it still receives all the events, just have my overlay on top of all the other windows.

From personal XP, i am more inclined to think you/we dream at least every night and not just once, the only thing that makes you think you do not dream is that you are very busy and crowded with daily life stuff, try to detach more from that and you will start to remember your dreams. Try to remember, last time when someone woke you up after falling a sleep, were you having a dream ? In most cases you did.
Yes, if you pass that crazy feeling, try to fly in your dream(i need more xp in this area myself, i don't know how i reach up flying, i know i just want it), it is the best thing possible, cannot be compared with anything in real life.
