This is one of my all time favorites. Is there a internet or computerized version of this yet ?



Amazing open source effort. My immediate thought is building an AI generic player that can train itself and play (most) of the games

What r your opinions ?


I just wonder if the AI would be easier to train for Rome or for the Gauls!


No cars in the city, an even better idea.


I was thinking the same thing. Diplomacy is one of the best multiplayer games ever designed. This should be ideally suited for writing as a mobile app. I'd love to know if there any out there worth checking out.

There's this at the iPhone App Store: "The Game of Diplomacy by Chris Hughes" https://appsto.re/us/iCIzt.i


no love for my mac :-(

I have the same problem. I don't understand what purpose that can serve.

Both are amazon.com accounts. One password links to a Prime account; the other, a non-Prime account. It started around 5-6 years ago. I vaguely recall that it must have started with a call to someone to change my password and later I upgraded one of them with Prime.

Maddening until I figured it out. Weird stuff.


should say "Fake Edward Snowden on Twitter."


It does, but does the US government have a record of it?


This observation doesn't surprise me: “I have never seen an industry with more gaping security holes,” said Avi Rubin, a computer scientist and technical director of the Information Security Institute at Johns Hopkins University. “If our financial industry regarded security the way the health-care sector does, I would stuff my cash in a mattress under my bed.”


Good moves. Glad to see the URI scheme as a visible part of the URL.


Yes, I am currently annoyed several times a day when I copy/paste a domain from firefox and have to delete the http: from the front. Every time!!!

Edit: Looking again, I see they are not showing the scheme for non-secure sites. So the annoyance continues.


Suppose you just select the part that you want to copy instead of the whole mess?


You can't, that's the whole problem. If you want the beginning of the domain, it will automatically include the uri scheme. So you cannot copy foo.com, you will always paste http://foo.com. 95% I want foo.com.


This isn't a problem for me, but I have verified the behavior of the GP.

An example:

It displays as www.google.com.

If you select those characters, copy, and paste

you see http://www.google.com


The survey of nosql technologies sounds more like a rationale for another O'Reilly bookshelf!

I mean, there are definitely arguments that can be made for alternatives to relational databases, but without those special cases, in such an early stage of maturation and without standards, it's worthy for pursuing by the hardy cowboy or blissful novice.

As the nosql technologies do mature and standards emerge, I think it should be expected that they will be subsumed into existing database products as new features.


There's already some work on this in PostgreSQL with hstore and Javascript as a stored procedure languae.
