Recently I have been relying on two good sources for leadership:
- Book: The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker: I think this is an excellent book to teach the part of the brain that wants to execute to think more strategically and concentrate on the leadership side.
- Podcast: Modern CTO: This podcast has lots of interviews CTO's from all kinds of companies. It's pretty casual and entertaining but also seems to always motivate me to be a better leader.
One thing to note is that the whole Chinese Android ecosystem currently works without those Google services or Play Store. It's still challenging to push system without Google globally, but at least they have experience with that locally in China.
> And what about privacy? Obviously everything you buy is being fed into a big government database somewhere. Do people in China not care about that (has privacy been eroded so much)?
I don't see how it's different from using credit cards or any other digital payment method.
Clash of Clans recently made changes to make the troops cheaper, cutting in to their revenue. They were trying to push Clash Royale as their new cash cow and loosened the reins a bit on Clash of Clans. Hopefully Tencent will keep up that trend and not reverse it.
P.S. If anyone is looking for a good clan on Clash of Clans, check us out #29OPCGCY
I'm not sure. I think making the troops cheaper and generate faster encourages people to play the game more, not less.
And the last upgrade added quite a few building, troop, and spell upgrades, which also encourage people to play more.
Personally, I can't stand Clash Royale. Besides lagging and crashing a lot, the match up algorithm is intensely frustrating. It felt like maybe 1 in 4 matches I was just completely steam rolled with absolutely no chance I could have won.
Yeah, i gave up on Clash Royale when I found out that the chests you got were not random. The payout schedule for the chests is so low which makes it almost impossible to advance to the higher arenas without paying. It was a fun game, but I gave up on it.

I doubt it.
The problem with all of these games is that they are highly dependent upon the .01% of the whales who spend huge amounts of money on the games. CoC was, somehow, noted for being a playtoy for rich, bored Arabs with oil money.
Progression in these games is HIGHLY dependent upon spending money. One clan founder I know in CoC has stolen almost 5 times the amount of gold as the current number 1 player in the world yet still hasn't cracked into the last level of the game (Level 11 Town Hall).
The president was interviewed after the event asking him: "How much can you do with programming?" He answered: "I just learned basics...I can make a circle!". Everybode's gotta start somewhere :).
Just what I need, even has the folder-index view that I need. Python SimpleHTTPServer has been getting stuck sometimes for me lately when used through Chrome. Maybe the way it loads resources in parallel changed or something.
For anyone wanting a quick intro to fp in Python I stumbled into this awesome presentation (50 slides) about Functional Programming in Python. I especially like his short but clear examples: http://kachayev.github.io/talks/uapycon2012/#/ . Good intro before getting deeper into the linked book.
A while ago I remember hearing in some podcast from googler that they internally have separate source code management system (not related to Google Code). I wouldn't be surprised it he was talking about this one and they finally decided to make it public. Killing Google Code was probably just because not many people used it (externally or internally).
