But doesn't this just happen because n is a pointer? What would you expect it to print? 1,2,3,4?

Is it a better alternative to set it up on EC2 instances?

The document says 1994 and diablo was released 31st of December 1996(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_%28video_game%29). So it was very delayed. I guess that the game underwent some huge changes to justify this delay.

Some of the changes are described in this chapter of the book "Stay Awhile and Listen": http://www.shacknews.com/article/76406/chapter-8-finale-cond.... The part I found especially interesting was how they changed it from turn-based to ARPG:

> Our company was saying, "We're going to take on this developer, Condor, and we're going to publish their game. It's called Diablo." And for a couple of months we were working on it not knowing that it was turn-based. When it came out that it was turn-based, we said, "No, that sucks."

> We actually took a vote. They said, "Raise your hand if you would buy this game if it were turn-based." I think two people raised their hands. Then they said, "Raise your hand if you would buy this game if it were real-time." Everybody raised their hands. Allen went in and called Dave Brevik and said, "Look, you've got to make this real-time."

This sounds quite different from all the things I have heard about South Korea and the general impression I have of the society and the people. Do you have some sources to back these claims up?

I agree.

I am currently in the early stages of starting a project and I want to use react+flux. However with the different variants of flux finding the one that is the best fit and is going to be maintained a year from now isn't an easy task. I think I might end up using the facebook variant as I'm fairly certain that they will continue to maintain it.

I see your point in hobbyist vs. enterprise, but Python is already used in multiple big corporations and I don't think I have seen any result of it being a problem. If anything, the language gets more and more attention due to its spreading popularity on all levels. Isn't that just for the good of the language?

As I mentioned it is already used in several big corporations. From your point of view - is it a problem right now?

How does it look with transfers for other countries than US?

But that would still leave you with a risk that the card is closed or that the payment will get rejected, right?

Thanks for the answer. Ouch, that makes sense and it is probably something similar in Europe.

Do you have any idea for how to ensure that the person has the funds when we need to charge the card?

And do you know how vendors like Airbnb handles this?

Great question! I recently launched a startup where we ended up using Paypal because we simply couldn't find any good alternatives. It is a huge drawback from our point of view and we really want an alternative. There just doesn't seem to be one.

We wanted to set up a payment flow where a consumer would transfer the money to us, and after the delivery of the product we would transfer it to the seller. Strripe offers something that can accomodate this flow, but not internationally. It is only available in the US.

There seems to be a huge gap in the market here. Is there something missing from my exploration of alternatives?
