The program is really beautiful. Not only does it work, it even looks good. I'm having it running on my second monitor for 3 hours while browsing Reddit on the first (and doing some occasional work :P).
You could just add the settings as another string, both in one box so that they can be copied/pasted as one, but the DNA should be slightly separate, I think. Maybe just a colon in between.
Could you increase the text box size of the "Steps per creature"? It doesn't account for 4-digit-maxvalues. At least not in my Opera.

I'm still getting my feet wet with extremely basic Perl and C. It'll be a while before I'm doing anything this cool!
If I might make a suggestion... perhaps make the joints an object which can 'mutate' out limbs, which themselves can mutate joints at their non-jointed ends. It would allow for spontaneous creature creation.

I became skeptical at that point. I stopped reading when I realized that this fella's intent seemed to be making his Dreamweaver console look nice and not making it easier to see common errors. Also, the fact that he calls himself "That Web Guy" and uses shitty fuckshit assy Dreamweaver--an application for Grandmas to design ebay pages for their Precious Moments collections.

That doesn’t *so* much bother me aesthetically, except as a reminder of the possibility of much more thorough and more convenient abstractions. In a way — maybe a small way — it kind of sucks to write code that specializes to a particular numeric type when doing so wouldn’t be necessary.
Of course there are performance implications, and even in languages where it would be easier in principle (Haskell, Scala) this sort of thing isn’t often done.

The huge list of employers in Edison is a huge part of the problem. They get contracted by others, and most of what they do is just putting warm bodies in seats. They pay for the visa and will happily shuffle underperforming people around until they can make a profit from them.

> You imply that companies don't actually care that quality work gets done by the people they hire (foreign or not!).
The employees do... but if the company has hiring policies dictated by people too far removed from the process or the people don't the hiring don't listen to the other employees or are just shitty managers... well... you just see this a lot in my experience.
> If their interview process is so dumb that fakers can easily get by - they probably deserve it.
Sure, but the qualified people who don't get hired also suffer, and so do the employees that have to deal with the dead weight employee.
> It is very expensive for a company to hire an unqualified person - apart from the salary there is a whole other set of expenses that come with it - not to speak about the continuing cost of poor work quality.
Yep, but that's not accounted for because it's "not supposed to happen" and people doing the hiring don't like to admit they fucked up or that good people don't work for peanuts.
> I haven't seen that for firms I have worked at but maybe you have examples you can quote ?
Lets see... when I was with IBM we we had to tred through months of red tape to hire in the US, but could hire from their shitty india outsource firm very quickly. It was shitty because nearly all the work had to be totally redone from them... mostly because they firms there have super high turnover so for a 1 year project you have like 12 teams that wrote different parts of the code.
A part time job I have, the manager hires and while he take some of the other employees concerns into consideration, he refuses to pay enough to get anyone decent so he ends up with people doing web application programming that have never used a database. Turnover there is about 3 months.
One of the things I thought was the *best* was construction... when I installed control panels, there was a real effort to hire people that wanted to work and *train* them. I wish IT was more like that. Some places are still, they're just harder to find these days.

I work in a pretty diverse company. One team has a Chinese lead... guess what, 80% of his team are Chinese. Another team has an Indian lead.... 75% of the team is Indian, including all the new hires in the last 3 years.
It's hiring bias all over again. Has nothing to do with an inability to find American citizens to do the work.

I think the point you're missing is everybody has essentially there own svn server to dick around with and share with others with. That and branching and merging work better in git. The master branch in this case is just one server just like every developers' but it only has the final product, more or less.

> That sounds like it corroborates my first suspicion, that normal users may find the mouse faster.
At the very least, it should convince you that the mouse _is_ faster for most users, not just that it seems so.
> I still maintain that a skilled Vim user will be demonstrably faster on the keyboard alone than they would be if they used a keyboard and mouse.
You could do an experiment. You could disable all the movement keyboard shortcuts in vim, and just use the mouse for that. Still, you would need some sort of measurable task (e.g. correcting typos), otherwise time perception could play tricks on you (as Tog says it will).

In the NY/NJ area, the H1-B program gets frequently abused by companies that contract with bigger companies and provide H1-B workers for less than the cost of an entry-level developer. It has the net effect of pushing down salaries for all programmers.

It has been pointed out elsewhere that C shares exactly the same limitations you list (except maybe that you can actually use pthreads in C), yet it shows no sign of waning in popularity.
It is not very difficult to concoct a simple fork-join process-based solution in OCaml; if you want robust, distributed process management and fault tolerance, you could use OCamlnet.

Thanks! After not working on it for 6 months, I am so excited to get back into it and make some improvements. I will definitely make some of the changes you've suggested. I really was not expecting this kind of response. I'm going to try to make a bunch of changes and release a new version in a few weeks. But before that, I want to make some small changes right away, such as a FAQ and some easy to fix bugs.

Works well for me. I assume that you don't like bitmapped fonts and don't like fonts in that size. A vector font basically degrades to the hinting information at small sizes, and I've found no vector fonts that compare well with monospaced bitmapped screen fonts. A 6x12 is probably smaller than what most people use (so I assume that you're complaining that it's not large enough), but it just gives me more lines to work with and is thus desirable if you can see it fine on your monitor at your viewing distance.
EDIT: I should note that small fonts aren't capable of representing, say, kanji or other highly-detailed characters reasonably, so if you require the ability to represent all Unicode characters in a font, you're probably going to have to spend more pixels on your terminal font than I do.

I actually used Icon on the job once, in the mid-90s, to transform some symbol mapping output from the MPW assembler to a form that the TMON debugger could recognize. It helped us tremendously in debugging some fairly complex assembly code that used some fairly complex data structures. Icon was perfect for the task.

I'm not sure Linux has an equivalent to Instruments and you can write iOS stuff on OS X.
As an aside, OS X is more of a 'true unix' than Linux in that OS X is a certified Unix and Linux is not.

> At the very least, it should convince you that the mouse is faster for most users, not just that it seems so.
I never claimed otherwise. I would never do something like inflict vim upon my girlfriend.
> You could do an experiment. You could disable all the movement keyboard shortcuts in vim, and just use the mouse for that. Still, you would need some sort of measurable task (e.g. correcting typos), otherwise time perception could play tricks on you (as Tog says it will).
I don't think correcting typos is necessarily the best test of Vim's strengths, and I don't think just disabling the movement keys would be the way to go. That would be disabling a lot of stuff. Can I use `C-o`? Can I use `C-]`? `c-T`? Plus Vim isn't designed with the mouse in mind, so it's not well suited for the task. A better test is to just use a different editor designed for more mouse-y interactions.
Edit: I would also be interested in seeing a more up to date study. The study you cite is over 20 years old, and they way we use computers today has changed very considerably since then. It is now commonplace to have a computer (or even two or more) in a house, which was much much less common then. People are much more computer literate in general now.

>That's a funny remark nonetheless, since Droid Sans Mono has pretty bad hinting instructions, which is obvious in the screenshot.
I wasn't particularly impressed with it either (the double-quotes look like they're working on blurring into a blob to me), but I assume that that's what he's saying.
>Also, shame on you for using the horrible and outdated X font description syntax.
Works fine for me; I've had an X font description in my .Xresources since long before fontconfig existed. It may be that fontconfig supports some syntax for specifying the pixel height of a font, but I've never bothered to learn it.

That line is perhaps a bit too dense. Some alternatives would be:
contains im (Rect x y w h) = (and . rows) . map (and . cols) $ im
or
contains im (Rect x y w h) = all isGoodRow . rows $ im
where isGoodRow = all (==True) . cols
or as suggested by tinou
contains im (Rect x y w h) = all (==True) coveredPixels
where coveredPixels = concatMap cols . rows $ im
Using `all (==True)` is a bit closer to the natural language "all pixels are foreground", compared to just saying `and`. But some programmers will hate seeing `==True`.

I am currently playing with an OpenEEG board and electrodes and getting some signal from it. I had a look at Emotiv but it seemed locked down, using mostly muscle movement rather than actual EEG and with limited electrode quality. It might be improved now. I prefer to try tweaking the OpenEEG for now.
I just reread your "communicate from within dreams to the outside waking world". That's pretty ambitious. Recording good data from EEG would seem be a good first step.

From the way I understand it, you can train software to recognize certain "commands" that it picks up via the electrodes.
So once I'm able to do that in the waking world, it shouldn't be to hard to do it from within a lucid dream right? I've been acheiving lucidity for a couple years now.

I have heard that its more difficult to train your brain and software to recognize multiple commands... so I may have to comm in Morse for a bit.

I'm happy that anyone is looking at it at all. According to Google Analytics, over 10,000 people from 100 countries have seen it, and that's pretty damn cool to me :)

Yep, agreed. We ended up fixing the root problem (having empty directories in the repository) rather than figuring out how to version-control the empty directories.

True, but it's still "small" in the sense that everyone knows everyone else and sits in the same room for most of the day. We don't need automated code review systems or deployment strategies because the company's not big enough to be anonymous yet.

Hmm don't think I had that happen but many a time when oral or intercourse is about to happen I get woken up, just naturally or environment.
Sucks although I believe I did have a wet dream a few years.

This is in an n by n image, so O(n^2) is the number of pixels. I would think that you need to inspect every pixel at least once.

That's probably the BEST way to sell it to them, but as you point out, it's always an uphill battle.
Which is why great care should be taken during the architecting phase, **and there is no such thing as rapid prototyping**. I run into this EVERY TIME someone comes to me and asks for a rapid prototype. You write something quick and dirty to demonstrate an idea, and then they say "Great, launch it".
If you happen to work somewhere where this is understood to never happen good for you. But I have never seen it happen.

C also had the luxury of being "first" (ish), and was the only tool that was generally available for the work it did. And, those limitations didn't matter nearly as much when it was taking off. There was no multi core to speak of, it didn't need a "build tool" (and I don't know the history, but I suspect 'make' came on fairly early), and a big core library in the terms that we think of today wasn't necessary for text based command line apps, most of which also didn't need networking.

another aspect of the difficulty of new development vs maintenance is that with new development it may not be apparent for some time whether the design works or not. with maintenance there is an established production system and if something doesn't work somebody will bring it to your attention. for new development that feedback loop may not be there for some time.
