> it would be helpful for them to either say don't send it
I suppose the people who put safety messages on a knife's packaging like "do not insert into body" are doing it to be *helpful*?
There's no indication that you ought to send the message, or why you should, or even of the effects of you sending that message. So why does somebody do it in production code?
I don't blame the API designers for omitting safety warnings; they probably didn't expect you to insert kitchen knife into body.

We don't do a formal retro, but it's probably split between end-of-sprint review and planning. We block out an hour for the end-of-sprint review on the last day of the sprint, and an hour for the planning meeting on the first day of the sprint.
One key to making this work is constant communication between the product owner, scum master, and technical leadership. The stories need to be well defined and well prioritized before the planning meeting. That way when the team has questions the answers are available if not already part of the story description.

You missed the point. But let me rephrase:
Your argument ignores the "evolution" (if that's absolute and universal) of the environment, -- where does the environment's "environment" come from?

How do you prevent someone from printing a document that they can view on their screen... that makes no sense. That's like a streaming website claiming it can prevent people from recording the stream. Of course they can't prevent that.

Sure thing. The DNA represents the length of each segment, the width of the creature, joint rotation (how many degrees each joint moves), joint speed and joint offset (when the joints move relative to each other). The limits of these are set in the creature settings.
By default, the algorithm uses elite selection and kills off parents. This means with each population, the top n% breed with each other to create the next generation. The fitness for each individual is simply the distance traveled to the right.
When I get a chance I'm going to create a FAQ and throw it up on the site, along with some other changes.

Thanks. Yes, you are correct. I'll have to look into using Web Workers. Someone else mentioned that as well. At the time I was doing this, I was still fairly new to JavaScript.
One way to speed things up though is to set render to "None". During this time, it will run the entire population simultaneously. This will make it go through the generations fairly quickly, and then you can set it to render again and see where the creatures are at.

> Why put off the pain?
Because you're already in development of a product with time pressures and switching version control systems can take quite a bit of time to do.
I agree that if you are starting a new project, start with a DVCS. Switching early may be possible. Switching midway or late may cause too much pain.

I don't mind using tools like find and xargs, but when it comes to writing Bash code, I always stop and write it in something else once it grows past ten lines. Bash has far and away the worst syntax I've ever come across in a programming/scripting environment. Furthermore, the complexities of what gets passed as a field and what gets split into multiple fields is completely unnecessary.

I'd like to mention a critical aspect of ML that OCaml embodies perfectly, and that is an incredibly powerful module system that actually works. Object oriented languages don't hold a candle to the kind of reuse and separation of concerns this module system affords, in my opinion.

I was just about to link to this. They use [CMA](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMA-ES) to optimize their controllers. Have you thought about doing something like that?
There are a bunch of different CMA variants out there, but in general it's supposed to be one of the better black-box optimization methods.
edit: There's a Python implementation [here](http://www.lri.fr/~hansen/cmaes_inmatlab.html#python) that isn't too obtuse, doesn't have a numpy dependency, is public domain, and is reasonably well commented. It looks like it would be pretty easy to translate into Javascript, although some of the linear algebra code in there seems to have been translated more-or-less directly from FORTRAN, and so might be a bit of a pain to deal with.

Just today I hear a customer say one thing in a call at 1PM and exactly the opposite in email a half hour later. Of course, this customer has a nicely sized undocumented (every time I find a comment I google it now - most of the comments have been in code they copied from blog posts and the like) code base that they can't even install, but it is clearly my fault that their code (that was promised on an insane deadline with no one even knowing what the code base looked like) is borked.

I think it's a good analogy. They don't do *exactly* the same thing, but they're pretty similar:
> If the target window is owned by the current process, GetWindowText causes a WM_GETTEXT message to be sent to the specified window or control. If the target window is owned by another process and has a caption, GetWindowText retrieves the window caption text.
I think mccoyn's point was that WM_GETTEXT, which sounds like a verb, also *acts* like a verb, and sending it is a legitimate way to accomplish a superset of what can be accomplished using an API function (GetWindowText()). So if you had experience with it, you could reasonably be led to think that WM_DESTROY will behave similarly -- like a more general version of DestroyWindow() that can work across threads. (Yes, you're a bad programmer if you don't check the docs and discover that's not the case; but "you" are a bad API design if you force programmers to check your docs unnecessarily!)

>Droid Sans Mono: This is actually pretty nice, and my preferred programming font now. Droid Sans Mono belongs to Google's Droid font family, which was naturally developed for their Android platform. At size 10 it has very nice kerning...
It's a monospaced font. It doesn't have [kerning](https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Kerning).

Mirrors! Don't forget mirrors. I have frequent lucid dreams which are so vivid, I wonder if I am awake. A quick look at a reflective surface that should show my face always seems to look wrong and in a lucid state, I can tell the difference. This seems to always make the lucid state even stronger. Just tell yourself there IS a mirror on the other side of this wall, walk around it, and there it is. I don't know if it works like this for everyone, but It has worked for me for years.
Also, you want a nice sports car to drive or a million dollars to donate to the needy? Assume it exists while lucid (like the mirror) and it tends to be where you expect it.

Droid Sans Mono, seriously? A zero with no slash or dot looks just like the capital oh. Do people really use this anyway? The first thing I check when looking at programming fonts is capital el vs one and capital oh vs zero. Droid Sans Mono *would* be a good programming font except for this one shortcoming.

If it's the Silverlight type of async then I think you can't, because async uses a synchronization context to return and once you block the thread you block the context (strictly context != thread, but in main/UI thread that is the case). Been a while since I used silverlight tough might remember it wrong.

At one point I had the rear legs become huge and the front legs become small, so it basically evolved into a biped!
Yes, the fitness is simply the distance it moved to the right.

(I wrote the post) Totally was. Perhaps I should have been more clear about this, but git's branching model makes it really easy to collaborate on stuff without pushing it to the master branch, which has made it easy to keep the codebase clean.

Methodologies need to take realities into account to be correct. Waterfall is just as correct if everybody does exactly what they are supposed to do. Until corporate culture moves away from outdated authoritarian ideals, methodologies should be required to take into account the realities that unskilled (dumb even) people will be in charge of the development process at the peril of developer's livelihoods and that they will usually make the incorrect decision due to behavioral issues, sociopathic tendencies, and conflicting interests.

The documentation could still be updated retroactively, which unfortunately it largely hasn't been. There are traps in the Win32 APIs that have been around for more than a decade and still aren't mentioned in MSDN. Curiously, they seem to always get finally added to the docs the day that Raymond posts about them....

When I first started doing Scrum about six years ago we were doing six week sprints. When I ran my own I cut that to four, and after a while went to two with continuous releases. Four weeks is just too much stuff, and if you're not iterating often you're not really "Agile".

No I haven't, but I'm looking into ways of improving. When I first created the worms, I was surprised at how well they evolved using a simple elite cut off. I used roulette selection as well, and that seemed to allow for more variation in the population to succeed. I am having problems with the quadrupeds so maybe I'll look into this, although to be honest, some of it looks pretty intense :)

I think at this point I need to spend a little time and write up a FAQ and throw it up on the site. I could give you a chromosome, but without describing what each of the numbers are, it probably won't be meaningful. If you click on any of the individuals on the right side, you can see their DNA and then use it to seed a new population. I gave instructions for how to do that somewhere here. I really appreciate the interest!

Can't really say, but the local state employment folks refer to them as a "meat grinder". It's kind of a toy for the owners actually, they make out well while everyone else gets paid poorly, treated badly and (with few exceptions) threatened with being fired all the time. I know they're skating on the edge of legality with some of their employment rules and are getting away with it mostly because the job market around here is so bad.
Sadly, for a bunch of reasons I'm kind of stuck there for now.

Does it work once you click evolve? I had thought of having it start right away as soon as the page loads, but then I thought people would want to first adjust settings. Loading graph.. is a definitely confusing since it isn't loading anything until you hit evolve.

My problem was, half the time I would start doing it with them, and then suddenly they would disappear.
The other half of the time I would be doing it, but it wouldn't feel like much of anything.
oh, and also...
> the girls stall, make excuses or worse somehow I don't let it happen
if you are dreaming, and know you are dreaming, then it isn't rape. i'm just sayin'...
and another thing, flying sucks. it's great at first, but then the frame rate starts to drop and for some reason you can't fly more than 20 feet off the ground. heck, one time i was flying a 747 and had to choose between going over or under the overpass. (had to go under, couldn't get enough altitude...)

C++ really is a pointless language. It may be marginally faster, but if the resources on your target platform are really so limited, why would you need C++? How often would you actually use the OO features? The overhead of polymorphism, dynamic dispatch, etc... would certainly come into play and slow your really fast native code down.
C++ was supposed to add OO language features to C, but if you're doing OO programming, then you aren't really *that* interested in speed anyway. Might as well just use C and one of the better OO languages for OO applications. C++ is neither here nor there.

I agree. And even if it has no code, a linked article should at least present some ideas or thoughts which may help you to become a better programmer. But his blog post doesn't give you that. It looks rather like a showcase for a one man project.

Thanks! You are 100% right. That was where I was eventually going with this before I stopped. Right now you can copy and paste DNA, but what I really need is an area where people can share.

It's semantics as far as I know, actually. In Windows "everything" is a window. Buttons are windows. Controls are windows. Text boxes are windows. By "invisible window" all is meant is that it is a process running that isn't required to draw something on the screen. Not as extra-bloaty as it sounds, in and of itself.. Except in this particular, sloppy implementation.

A previous comment mentioned that rubbing the hands would suffice for him to keep the dream from fading, you doing the tumbling... it seems that actions that we do with ourselves or with parts of our bodies/images while dreaming, keeps us from loosing the dream state, can someone explain why?

* No reply from OP.
* No actual information on the code or the hardware, in /r/programming
* Website is more a blog rather then a database.
Sure, lucid dreaming is interesting stuff, but I seriously doubt this is anything close to relevant in this subreddit.

Dude. I have night terrors pretty much every other night or so. Not the waking up in my bed screaming type, but the "evil hag" type. I've gotten to the point of control of them that I can start with moving my hand, then swinging my legs over the bed, standing up, and opening the bedroom door. All as vividly as if I were doing it awake. And I can see myself on the bed. But as soon as I open that door, it all collapses and I snap back into my bed. So, so weird.

Lol! I, on the other hand, get annoyed when extraneous GUI elements appear on my screen. Like when Windows needs to tell me I just installed an update. As if I had forgotten I just told it to, and it was for some reason important to interrupt me to remind me that it had interrupted me.

Version control isn't just an IDE feature. A project that I'm working on has files in various languages, including shell scripts. No single IDE can grok all of them, so using a super editor like Sublime Text 2 or Texpad is sometimes a better choice.
