When designing the procedural rocket engines in Juno: New Origins (formerly known as SimpleRockets 2) this site was one of the resources I kept coming back to while learning the underlying math.

It's also just a beautiful example of the old web at its best. Simple layout, no distractions, lots of substance. Truly a gem for anyone interested in rocket science.

Are you referring to the Chinese Room? I've always had an issue with that argument. Instructions are immutable, but neural networks certainly are not.

This is what I have found. I started indie game dev a back in 2009, and I'm finally to the point where I'm making a very comfortable living, but by no means a millionaire. However, having a small company with some fellow devs is now in the realm of possibility, which is a long-time dream of mine.

Edit: My games are mostly mobile. I am really excited about the figures he posted for Steam. I just got one of my games greenlit on Steam (SimpleRockets) and I hope I can sustain further development on it.

Great job handling the traffic spike by still giving us links so we can check out your game.

You might like the book "Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea." There's quite a few jaw dropping stories from people who defected from NK. It's such a mysterious country, I am completely fascinated by it.

edit: a word

What color do you see? I never realized that the bar changes color.

Very impressive, especially for a weekend "hack". What did you write the site in?
