I imagine Lucene would have fit the use case better than Elasticsearch, especially if the author found SQLite to work well. Given that the indexing and searching seems very minimal SQLite seems like the right choice, but more people should really know about Lucene. It's a great library and I've used it directly rather than go with ES for some smaller, or local projects.

I've looked at possibly seeking employment in NZ, but most of the shops (at least the one posting on the sites I've searched), are .Net or MS shops, which I'm not too terribly interested in. Hopefully this job fair will have a bit more diversity.

The best way is usually to not tie game state to frame ticks. See Bethesda's Creation Engine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yuyp-S7FPNI for why that's a bad idea.

144hz monitor here. Pretty sure the game is tuned for 60fps and thus 144hz monitor is playing like turbo speed.

Having a daily short, informal, morning meeting certainly helps us. You don't need to be standing up to have "standup". Dogma for dogma's sake is the king of anti-patterns.

I was waiting for the /s as well.

Having spent some time on the internet I've spoken and chatted with people for whom English is a second language. Are you telling me that their deficient understanding of English indicates a lack of morality? Is the English language a religion now? Guess I didn't get the memo.

It's not just the fact that they're low-cost loans. They're almost zero-risk loans (you can not declare bankruptcy on student loans), which benefits lenders and encourages schools to increase prices.

I was all excited until I read that on the Google Play page for the app.

I was a student very recently and if I class was boring, or too easy (easy enough I could get by without good notes) I distracted myself, with or without a laptop. Most Mathematics professors don't allow laptops to be brought to class, so I planned out personal projects, made UMLs, and at one point wrote shitty poetry if I got bored.

If he's going to ban laptops, I hope he refrains from reading off powerpoint slides. Any professor or teacher who does has given up their right to be mad if students aren't paying attention.

Needs a crossover endpoint that takes a url (and schema) for another universe's API

I started running into that problem quickly as well. One of the examples I crib off of is Overholt (http://mattupstate.com/python/2013/06/26/how-i-structure-my-...). It still feels strange in places, but it's the best I've seen so far.

If Amazon wants to "compete directly with Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo," they'll need to do more than make an Android console. If they can't get cross platform titles, then all they are is an overpriced Ouya.

How Walmart could have avoided this PR disaster while still helping people: Give the employees that would be receiving food from the store itself rather than asking other employees to donate.

It hurts to think about this.

Is there anywhere in the article that has a quote from the Obama administration that suggests the title of the article. All I get from reading it was that SOPA had a provision to make streaming a felony and that people fought against it. No where does it give any information about how its resurrection is being attempted.
