Howdy, y'all.
This has been in the works for far too long and today, I'm nauseous to announce that:
"The end of the game.com" rides again.
www.diskman.com/presents/gamecom
Yep. My formerly threadbare website about a handheld game system that's even less enjoyable than the Supervision [!!]... is back. Now bloated with far more information than you'll ever care to know, to experience it is a grand adventure in masochism. (Though still less painful than actually playing game.com games.)
If you're wondering why I've wasted so much time building a virtual shrine to such a useless piece of plastic stuffed with shoddy electrical components, it's simple: I did it because I knew no one else would. Amen.
So come on by and relive all your game.com favorites!
(I'd say, "You'll be glad you did," but we both know you'll regret it.)

Nice to see somebody spreading the love appreciation awareness of the game.com. Failed systems deserve to be remembered too.
wheelaa
Marty fan
I admire your dedication in finishing so many of the games.

Hey, Supervision was at least kinda cool lol. I did have a games.com in 98 though, thought it was the coolest thing at the time. I was in middle school though lol. Thought the PDA features made it cooler. Obviously in hindsight I know it is shit now, but eh at the time I was ignorantly blissful. Thanks for documenting it.
Are there any emulators out for this thing?
Thanks guys, I'm really hoping to scare people straight so that they don't waste any money on the thing.
As for the endings... yowza... not anywhere near as tough as playing thru Supervision games, but still pretty taxing. A lot of wasted hours there, to be sure.
la-li-lu-le-lo
I actually had one of these pretty soon after it came it out. Admittedly, it was pretty bad, but it was interesting in a lot of ways. It was one of the first handheld game systems with a built-in touchscreen, and also one of the first (if not the first) with built-in internet connectivity. But yeah, it was still pretty bad. I actually still have mine with the original box, though I've lost the stylus.
How the hell did they manage to score such big IP's?
Arcadia said:
They were Tiger, man: A company all about licensed products, with years of experience. Securing deals like that, quickly and aggressively, was one of their biggest strengths. Which just makes it all the more depressing that those big IPs got paraded thru the muck and quickly relegated to the bargain bin.
Mechi
I had one of these in the early 2000s. I got it cheap in a clearance sale at one of the local game stores, along with Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Resident Evil 2. Interesting to play these ports, but I soon traded them in and got a GP32 instead.
Today's update:
Added some details and screenshots for Holyfield Boxing, NBA Live '99, and Small Soldiers to the rumored games page. This info was mostly scooped from the archived website of developer Handheld Games.

I had no idea there were so many games for it. I still have my game.com back on the shelf somewhere, but I haven't turned it on it like a dozen years.

The commercial he starred in really was the best and most effective one. They had the '90s attitude nailed, man.

The Original VF3 Fangirl™
You can also add Virtua Fighter 3 and Sonic X-treme to the list of titles announced for the Game.com then cancelled, with the first of these likely being reworked into Fighters Megamix, while it's possible the latter similarly became Sonic Jam...
P.S. Does anyone know if Metal Gear Solid ever went into development for this handheld, or was it just another high profile conversion promised yet ultimately never delivered?
Allie said:

What's your source on this? I've never seen any official announcements or even "hints" from Tiger about either of these.
Does anyone know if Metal Gear Solid ever went into development for this handheld
Unfortunately I've not uncovered any proof. If and when I do, it'll be posted on the site & also shared here.
Tyree_Cooper
So those snapshots from Symphony of the Night... are they fake... or did they really start development?
Tyree_Cooper said:
The ones I've seen look pretty durned fake to me. Which doesn't surprise me. Tiger published outright fake screenshots and vids frequently, from many of the game.com games. No way they'd be able to get away with that kind of bullsh*t these days, but back then... *shrugs*
Anyway, I currently have no concrete evidence as to the actual, factual status of Castlevania. Anything I can confirm will be added to my website, and announced here.
Well they did make a Tiger handheld version of the game, so it might as well be real. Who would have thought they'd make that, it's even worse than Tiger.com. That's why I'm not sure it's fake, but there's no proof other than those screenshots.

PUERTO RICO BASKETBALL STARTS TODAY AS WOMEN'S HOOPS TAKES ON MIAMI
Complete Game Notes (PDF)
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO -- The Sacramento State women's basketball team kicks off the action today as they take on Miami in their first game in the 2017 Puerto Rico Clasico. The game will take place at Trujillo Alto's Colesio Ruben Zayaz Montanez and tip off is scheduled for 4:30 AT/12:30 PT.
Both games in this week's Puerto Rico Clasico can be streamed online. The games will stream via Asi Van Los Deportes on Facebook. A direct link can be found online on the Sacramento State women's basketball schedule page.

The Starting Five
Senior guard Maranne Johnson made two three pointers in the team's last game, her 239th and 240th, making her the all-time leader in career three-pointers Sacramento State women's basketball program history. She passed Ale Moreno (238, 2010-14) for the record.
Just one game after setting a career-high with 17 points, sophomore forward Kennedy Nicholas pulled in a career-high 14 rebounds against San Francisco State. Nicholas also scored 14 points in the effort, recording her first career double-double.
Sacramento State had five different players score in double-digits for just the second time this season in their last game against San Francisco. The previous game in which five players scored 10+ points was the Hornets' 99-72 win over UC Riverside.
The Hornets take on Miami and Northern Illinois this week. Miami enters the tournament 7-3 and are riding a two-game win streak. Northern Illinois is 7-2 and have won their last three games.
Sophomore guard Hannah Friend is fourth in the conference and 32nd in the nation with 3.11 three-pointers made per game.
1: The number of games the Hornets have played at home this season. They are 1-0 at home and 1-6 away from the Nest this season.
43: Junior guard Raegen Rohn's shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line. She is 6-for-14 in five games played this year.
240: Number of career three-pointers for Maranne Johnson, the all-time three-point scorer in Sacramento State women's basketball program history.
Scouting Miami
Miami University enters the Puerto Rico Clasico with a 7-2 record and having won back-to-back games entering this week. A member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Miami finished last season 24-9. They fell to Duke in the ACC Tournament finals before going 1-1 in the NCAA Tournament as a number four seed, beating Florida Gulf Coast University before falling to Quinnipiac. Miami enters this week's tournament averaging 71.3 points per game (Sacramento State averages 72.9) although they have held opponents to a mere 59.6 points per game this season. The Hurricanes are led by freshman guard Mykea Gray, who averages 14.7 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. Senior Erykah Davenport paces the squad with 10.1 boards. At the helm for Miami is 13th-year coach Katie Meier.
Scouting Northern Illinois
Northern Illinois University enters the Puerto Rico Clasico with a 7-3 record and have won their last three games. They finished the 2016-17 campaign with a 21-12 record, their first 20-win season since the 2006-07 season exactly 10 years prior. Their season earned them an invite to the WNIT, where they fell in their first game to South Dakota State. This year, the Huskies are off to a great start in part thanks to junior Courtney Woods, who is averaging 19.6 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. She is backed by Kelly Smith (55.6% shooting) and Mikayla Voigt (44% shooting from three). As a team, they are shooting 44% and average 82.2 points per game, 26th most in NCAA Div. I. The Huskies are led by third-year coach Lisa Carlsen.
About Last Game
The Hornets dropped a hard-fought game this past Friday night on the road at San Francisco. After battling for three quarters, Sacramento State stumbled in the final period before falling 90-76 to the Dons. Dana DeGraffenreid led the team with 16 points, just one ahead of Maranne Johnson. Johnson made two three-pointers, setting a new program record for career threes. Kennedy Nicholas recorded a double-double with 14 points and 14 rebounds, the first of her career.
Against Miami/Northern Illinois
This week is the first time the Hornets will face both Miami and Northern Illinois since becoming a Div. I program.
Helping Puerto Rico
The women's basketball team has games scheduled for today, Monday, Dec. 18 and Wednesday, Dec. 20. On Thursday, Dec. 21, the team will travel to Humaco, Puerto Rico to help students at the University of Puerto Rico prepare supplies and care packages to be delivered to communities in need following Hurricane Maria.
Record Setter
With two made three-pointers in Sacramento State's last game, senior guard Maranne Johnson is now the Sacramento State women's basketball program leader in career three-pointers with 240. She passed the previous leader, former Hornet Alle Moreno (2010-14), who is now second with 238. Johnson holds the single-season record for made three-pointers, making 93 last season and passing the previous record of 86 (Briana Burgos, 2015-16; Hallie Gennett, 2014-15). Johnson and Moreno are the only two Hornets players to break the 200-mark.
Kennedy Continues
Just one game after setting a new career high with 17 points score, sophomore guard Kennedy set another career mark by pulling down 14 rebounds against San Francisco last Friday night. She also scored 14 points in the effort, recording her first career double-double and just the second this season by a Hornets player.
Grand Theft Basketball
Maranne Johnson is also closing in on the program record for career steals. With three steals in Sacramento State's last game, Johnson now has 268 for her career, just 40 off the program mark of 308 (Fantasia Hilliard, 2011-15). Johnson racked up 87 steals last year and is averaging 83 a season in her career, putting her on pace for 331 in her career.
Postseason Opponents
Of Sacramento State's first nine games, five have been against either 2017 NCAA Tournament teams (Kentucky, West Virginia, Arizona State) or 2017 WNIT teams (Morehead State, UC Davis). This week, they will face two more, as Miami made the NCAA Tournament and Northern Illinois was invited to the WNIT.
After starting the season's first four games on the bench, sophomore point guard Tiara Scott has started five straight games for the Hornets. During that time, she is averaging 33.4 minutes per game and 9.8 points per game. She is dishing out 7.0 assists and committing just 1.5 turnovers per game during that stretch, as well. For the season, her 1.65 assist to turnover ratio and her 4.2 assists per game are both fifth best in the Big Sky Conference.
The 2017-18 Hornets squad is one that will be well traveled. The team's first seven games of the season were on the road and 11 of their first 12 will take place away from the Nest. Their season-opening road trip called for four games - three on the east coast, one on the west coast - in a span of just nine days. So far, the Hornets are 0-7 on the road and 1-0 at a neutral site. Last season, Sacramento State was 4-8 on the road and 0-3 at neutral sites.
Minutes Starting to Mount
Nine of Sacramento State's 11 players are averaging over 17 minutes per game this season while four are averaging 27 minutes or more. Maranne Johnson (32.9), Dana DeGraffenreid (30.0), Hannah Friend (28.3), and Tiara Scott (27.1) lead the team in minutes. After missing two games with concussion symptoms, Justyce Dawson (22.4) falls under the 25-minute mark for the first time this season. Last season, the team had just one player average 25 or more minutes: Maranne Johnson (25.0).
Tournament Play
The Puerto Rico Clasico is Sacramento State's second tournament this season. Their other tournament came over Thanksgiving weekend as they played two games in the Nugget Classic in Reno, Nev. They were 1-1 in those two games.
Conference Rankings
As a team, the Sacramento State Hornets are top 5 in the Big Sky Conference in 10 different categories and are ranked as high as third in six of those nine.

The Hornets opened on the road against a Kentucky team that was receiving votes and is now ranked #14 in the nation. They followed that with a game at #12 West Virginia (now #11) and then returned west to take on an ASU team that was ranked has high as #24 and is currently receiving votes.
Ranked Opponents Overall
After taking a loss against #12 West Virginia, Sacramento State is now just 1-7 all-time against NCAA Div. I ranked teams. Their only win against a ranked opponent is also their first game against a ranked opponent, when they defeated #20 Texas 88-85 in their first game of the 1994-95 season.
Big Sky Preseason Polls
Sacramento State was picked to finish 10th in the Big Sky preseason media poll and ninth in the coaches' poll. The Hornets earned 61 points in the media poll, just five behind Weber State and 27 ahead of Northern Arizona. In the coaches' poll, Sacramento State received 37 points, 26 back of Idaho State and three ahead of Weber State. The polls were unanimous on the Big Sky Champion, with Northern Colorado taking the top spot in both. North Dakota was selected to finish second in both polls, as well.

Q: Check if a process is running using PHP in Linux I am using kannel to send SMS via PHP. I want to know how can I check if a particular process is running. For kannel to run, a process named bearerbox should be running all time. I want to check if this process is running or not. Because if the process is not running then a mail will be sent to me notifying me about it.

A: You can use the exec command to find your process and then act accordingly.
Something like:
exec('ps aux | grep bearerbox', $output);
You'll need to work out what is returned on your server to decide if it's running or not.
Good luck.

A: There are a lot of ways to deal with this. The easiest (and a direct answer to your question) is to grab the output of 'ps'.
Deamons tend to always create a 'pid' file though. This file contains the process-id of the daemon. If yours has that, you can check the contents of the file and see if the process with that id is still running. This is more reliable.
supervisord might also have this functionality. Lastly, maybe it's better to get a real monitoring system rather than build something yourself. Nagios might be a good pick, but there might be others.

A: Simple yet handy solution to monitor processes through PHP: PHP-Linux-Process-Monitor.
The code goals like:
$ps = explode("\n", trim(shell_exec('ps axo pid,ppid,%cpu,pmem,user,group,args --sort %cpu')));
foreach($ps AS $process){
$processes[]=preg_split('@\s+@', trim($process), 7 );
}
$head= array_shift($processes);
$processes = array_reverse($processes);
$output='';
foreach ($head AS $f) $output.="$f	";
$output=sprintf('
%s
',$output);
foreach($processes AS $p){
    $output.='
';
    foreach ($p AS $i=>$f){
        if($i==0) $output.=sprintf('%1$s	',$f);
        elseif($i==2) $output.=sprintf('%1$s	',$f);
        elseif($i==3) $output.=sprintf('%1$s	',$f);
        elseif($i == 6) $output.=sprintf('%1$s	',$f);
        else $output.=sprintf('%1$s	',$f);
    }
    $output.='

A: The easiest is to use pgrep, which has an exit code of 0 if the process exists, 1 otherwise.
Here's an example.
exec("pgrep bearerbox", $output, $return);

A: This is the best way

in the above code gs is the process that I was checking

They obviously can't. Just think of it.
(I wanted to post the very same bugreport, until I realized it won't work).
Well, actualy it could be possible to do it, however pretty tricky.
Hint: logs only mention new logs.
The backpatching logic should mostly solve it.

The Eastern Nilotic languages are one of the three primary branches of the Nilotic languages, themselves belonging to the Eastern Sudanic subfamily of Nilo-Saharan; they are believed to have begun to diverge about 3,000 years ago, and have spread southwards from an original home in Equatoria in South Sudan.  They are spoken across a large area in East Africa, ranging from Equatoria to the highlands of Tanzania.  Their speakers are mostly cattle herders living in semi-arid or arid plains.

Classification
According to Vossen (1982), the Eastern Nilotic languages are basically classified as follows by the comparative method. Vossen (1982) also provides a reconstruction of Proto-Eastern Nilotic.

Eastern Nilotic
Bari languages
 Teso–Lotuko–Maa:
Teso–Turkana (or Ateker; incl. Karimojong)
Lotuko–Maa:
Lotuko languages
Lango language
Lopit language
Lokoya language
Lotuko language
Dongotono language
Ongamo–Maa
 Ongamo language
 Maa languages
 Maasai language (see also Mukogodo-Maasai)
 Camus language
 Samburu language (see also Elmolo-Samburu)

It is generally agreed upon that Bari forms a primary branch, but lower-level splits are less clear.

Swadesh approach (Vossen 1982)
Vossen's classification using the Swadesh approach is as follows (Vossen 1982:114).
Eastern Nilotic
Bari languages
Mondari
Kakwa
Nyanggwara
Kuku
Pöjulu
Ngyepu
Bari
Lotuko–Maa languages
Lotuko languages
Lopit, Dongotono
Lotuko, Lokoya
Ongamo–Maa languages
Ongamo
Maasai
Camus, Samburu
Teso–Turkana languages
Teso
Nyangatom
Turkana, Karimojong

Gleason approach (Vossen 1982)
Vossen's classification using the Gleason approach is as follows (Vossen 1982:119).
Eastern Nilotic
Bari languages
Kuku, Ngyepu
Pöjulu
Kakwa
Bari
Nyanggwara, Mondari
Lotuko languages
Lopit, Dongotono
Lotuko, Lokoya
Teso–Turkana languages
Nyangatom
Teso
Turkana, Karimojong
Ongamo–Maa languages
Ongamo
Maasai
Camus, Samburu

Gender Marking
Gender marking through prefixes (or proclitics) on nouns is an innovation in the Eastern Nilotic languages that is not found in the other branches of Nilotic. However, not every Eastern Nilotic language has this feature: for example, Bari does not have it.

Comparative vocabulary
Sample basic vocabulary of Eastern Nilotic languages from Vossen (1982):

Whether hitting the town for a big night out or heading to your next formal event, you need the Org Clutch with Removable Strap. This bag is a small, stylish compliment to any outfit in any situation. The main compartment features two cell phone sized pockets with a pen pocket and other organizational pockets, and closes with a fold-over flap and magnetic snap closure. On the back of the purse is a compartment with 3 card slots, an ID slot, and a mesh organizer pocket, so you don't have to worry about a wallet. Choose between using either the handy wrist strap, or switch it out for the adjustable shoulder strap for a more comfortable fit.


Fibula, (Latin: "brooch") outer of two bones of the lower leg or hind limb, presumably so named because the inner bone, the tibia, and the fibula together resemble an ancient brooch, or pin. In humans the head of the fibula is joined to the head of the tibia by ligaments and does not form part of the knee. The base of the fibula forms the outer projection (malleolus) of the ankle and is joined to the tibia and to one of the ankle bones, the talus. The tibia and fibula are further joined throughout their length by an interosseous membrane between the bones. The fibula is slim and roughly four-sided; its shape varies with the strength of the attached muscles. In many mammals, such as the horse and the rabbit, the fibula is fused for part of its length with the tibia.
Anterior view of the bones of the lower right leg, the fibula and the tibia (shinbone). Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
Fractures of the fibula usually are associated with an ankle injury, though they can occur in isolation (without ankle involvement) or in combination with fractures of the tibia (e.g., in severe injuries). Though less common that tibial stress fractures, fibular stress fractures can occur, most typically in long-distance runners.

University of Central Florida Wins DOE's 2018 CyberForce Competition
Home » University of Central Florida Wins DOE's 2018 CyberForce Competition
University of Central Florida won the 2018 CyberForce Competition™.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced University of Central Florida from Orlando, Florida as the national winner of DOE's 2018 CyberForce Competition™. Sponsored by DOE's Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER), the CyberForce Competition is DOE's fourth cyber defense competition designed to develop the next generation of cybersecurity professionals to help defend and bolster our nation's critical energy infrastructure and ensure our energy security.
"The energy infrastructure we depend upon as a Nation is under the constant threat of cyberattacks," said U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry in a video broadcast to competitors across DOE's national laboratories. "As the Sector-Specific Agency for cybersecurity in the energy sector, guarding against those threats is my highest priority, and this competition is becoming a key element in developing our next generation of cyber warriors."
This year's competition featured approximately 70 teams representing 24 states and Puerto Rico, with participants ranging from undergraduate freshmen to Ph.D. candidates. Argonne National Laboratory was the lead lab with participation from six other National Labs, including: Brookhaven National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories.
The CyberForce Competition challenged college and university students with defending a simulated oil transportation network, a power delivery system, and a high-performance computing system against attacks by experts at the National Labs, the private sector, and the National Guard. The challenge was augmented by anomalies and constraints designed to replicate those commonly found in real world systems.
"Developing the next generation of cybersecurity experts is a critical part of our mission within CESER," said Assistant Secretary for CESER Karen S. Evans. "The CyberForce Competition provides the opportunity for us to engage our future defenders and let them know we not only support, but also commend, their interest in a field that is critical to our national security."
Winners of the 2018 CyberForce Competition include:
Overall nationwide winner:
University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida

The World's First Vegan Egg Whites Are About to Hit Stores
Food tech company Clara Foods has developed lab-cultured vegan egg whites.
San Francisco startup Clara Foods makes egg proteins without chickens
Tanya Flink
Updated April 25, 2019. San Francisco food tech company, Clara Foods, is in the process of bringing the world's first "animal-free" egg white to the market.
It's not made of aquafaba or flax seeds; the company has developed a method of creating lab-cultured egg whites, similar to the process of clean meat.
Clara Foods CEO Arturo Elizondo was motivated by the current state of animal agriculture, in particular, the raising of chickens for food. He said that approximately one trillion eggs are consumed each year, which implies obvious global demand. However, the world's craving for eggs is "incredibly unsustainable," according to Elizondo. He was also disturbed by the poor conditions within the industry, stating, "There are more chickens in the U.S. than people, each confined to the area of a piece of paper and never seeing daylight."
The company has already produced a lab-cultured egg white, and now the challenge is scaling it for the mass market. To create the egg, scientists apply modern engineering and fermentation processes to a collection of yeast and sugar, finishing with the addition of plant-based protein. The result is an animal-free egg white that uses far less natural resources but contains all the same characteristics as a chicken-based egg.
As of April 2019, the company completed Series B funding round for an undisclosed amount. "It's almost impossible to replace eggs. There are some great plant-based products out there, but they don't have the same nutrition and functionality as the real thing," Elizondo told FoodNavigator-USA.
Clara Foods aims to launch the perfect replacer for egg whites
Beyond eggs, Clara Foods is also developing more sustainable baking products, food and beverage ingredients, and nutritional supplements using its unique sugar and yeast engineering processes. The website reads, "Have your cake, and eat it, too. The most powerful ingredients just got a whole lot greener and cleaner."
While waiting for these egg whites to reach the supermarket shelves, bakers and home cooks can rely on aquafaba, or chickpea brine, as a vegan egg white replacer. When whipped consistently for several minutes, the brine that is so often discarded turns into fluffy peaks that can be utilized in a variety of cooking and baking applications.
From delicate meringues to moist fluffy cakes, aquafaba has revolutionized the baking industry. Clara Foods' new vegan egg white is set to improve upon this homemade hack, making its public debut within the next few years.
The new product is expected to debut by 2020.
Food tech company Clara Foods has developed lab-cultured vegan egg whites. The company is working on bring the product to market by next year.

Q: How to tell which generic type Rust is unable to infer? I encountered an issue in this situation (code here is buildable):
extern crate rand;
use rand::{Isaac64Rng, SeedableRng, Rng};
pub trait GeneticAlgorithm<R, Ins, C> : Clone where R: Rng {
    fn mate(parents: (&Self, &Self), rng: &mut R) -> Self;
    fn mutate<F>(&mut self, rng: &mut R, mutator: F) where F: FnMut(&mut Ins);
    fn call<F>(&self, program: F) where F: FnOnce(&C);
}

pub struct Mep<Ins> {
    instructions: Vec<Ins>,
    unit_mutate_size: usize,
    crossover_points: usize,
}

impl<Ins> Mep<Ins> {
    //Generates a new Mep with a particular size and takes a closure to generate random instructions
    pub fn new<I>(unit_mutate_size: usize, crossover_points: usize, instruction_iter: I) -> Mep<Ins>
        where I: Iterator<Item=Ins> {
        Mep{instructions: instruction_iter.collect(), unit_mutate_size: unit_mutate_size,
            crossover_points: crossover_points}
    }
}

impl<Ins> Clone for Mep<Ins>
    where Ins: Clone {
    fn clone(&self) -> Self {
        Mep{instructions: self.instructions.clone(), unit_mutate_size: self.unit_mutate_size,
            crossover_points: self.crossover_points}
    }
}

impl<R, Ins> GeneticAlgorithm<R, Ins, Vec<Ins>> for Mep<Ins> where R: Rng, Ins: Clone {
    fn mate(parents: (&Mep<Ins>, &Mep<Ins>), rng: &mut R) -> Mep<Ins> {}
    fn mutate<F>(&mut self, rng: &mut R, mut mutator: F) where F: FnMut(&mut Ins) {}
    fn call<F>(&self, program: F) where F: FnOnce(&Vec<Ins>) {
        program(&self.instructions);
    }
}

fn main() {
    let mut rng = Isaac64Rng::from_seed(&[1, 2, 3, 4]);
    let (a, b) = {
        let mut clos = || Mep::new(3, 3, rng.gen_iter::<u32>().map(|x| x % 10).take(10));
        (clos(), clos())
    };
    let mut c = Mep::mate((&a, &b), &mut rng);
    c.mutate(&mut rng, |ins: &mut u32| *ins = 2);
    c.call(|x: &Vec<u32>| panic!());
}

Rust claims that it cannot infer a type somewhere, but I am not sure how to specify the type of a closure if that is the issue, nor am I able to identify which specific generic parameter is causing the issue:
main.rs:48:7: 48:36 error: unable to infer enough type information about `_`; type annotations or generic parameter binding required [E0282]
main.rs:48     c.call(|x: &Vec<u32>| panic!());
                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Which generic parameter is necessary to specify and how can that be determined? If it cannot be inferred, how is it possible to specify the intended trait: GeneticAlgorithm<Isaac64Rng, u32, Vec<u32>>
If anyone would like to build the original code itself, I am hosting it on GitHub (commit b0b24482fb7fc71da9c23cd1481ea09c9edd867e).

A: impl<R, Ins> GeneticAlgorithm<R, Ins, Vec<Ins>> for Mep<Ins> where R: Rng, Ins: Clone {
    // ...
}

This impl block implements GeneticAlgorithm for Mep<Ins> for all possible values of R. This means that there are multiple implementations of the GeneticAlgorithm trait for a particular Mep<Ins>. When you invoke the mate and mutate methods, the compiler is able to resolve a specific implementation from the arguments, but when you invoke call, the compiler is unable to resolve a specific implementation, since R is unconstrained.
To solve this, move the R generic parameter to the mate and mutate methods.
pub trait GeneticAlgorithm<Ins, C> : Clone {
    fn mate<R>(parents: (&Self, &Self), rng: &mut R) -> Self where R: Rng;
    fn mutate<R, F>(&mut self, rng: &mut R, mutator: F) where F: FnMut(&mut Ins), R: Rng;
    fn call<F>(&self, program: F) where F: FnOnce(&C);
}

impl<Ins> GeneticAlgorithm<Ins, Vec<Ins>> for Mep<Ins> where Ins: Clone {
    fn mate<R>(parents: (&Mep<Ins>, &Mep<Ins>), rng: &mut R) -> Mep<Ins> where R: Rng { panic!() }
    fn mutate<R, F>(&mut self, rng: &mut R, mut mutator: F) where F: FnMut(&mut Ins), R: Rng { panic!() }
    fn call<F>(&self, program: F) where F: FnOnce(&Vec<Ins>) {
        program(&self.instructions);
    }
}

Because of substance abuse and addiction, women and men will frequently not be able to recover using the minimal services available from outpatient rehab centers in Spencerville, Ohio where drugs and alcohol continue to be easily accessible when they depart the outpatient center. In addition, men and women in treatment who take part in outpatient treatment rather than inpatient alcohol and drug rehab in Spencerville remain vulnerable to damaging relationships and situations that might compromise their process of recovery.
