The fact that you're playing around with a game engine and using phrases like "distributed business logic" tells me you have a long road ahead of you.

This comment says the exact opposite of what you're praising Rosebud for. The debugging not only wasn't helpful, it actively made the game unworkable and unrecoverable.

Some easy answers:

1. Not all articles will be relatable to everyone, and that's perfectly fine.

2. Your "what if" scenario is trivially surmountable: write some code at home, for yourself, for something you enjoy, or for someone you care about.

I don't understand how someone could read this and not only have the takeaway that you did, but come here to mention it.

Similar story for me!

Back when I had feet, there were so many days where I had anxiety over forgetting to tie my shoes. Sometimes I would start the day with my shoes untied. Other days I'd obsess over which knot to use. And additional worries over my shoe becoming untied during the day.

I found out the solution to these problems wasn't about just remembering to tie my shoe tightly in the morning like an adult -- the real solution was to cut off my feet so I never needed shoes again!

If the product has to TELL you up front that it has a "beautiful and intuitive user interface", it likely doesn't.

And the Tour page has a screenshot of the application titled "Stunning Elegance", where it does a great job of mostly looking the same as any desktop app developed in the last 10 years -- full of shades of grey, plain, no menus.

As a cherry on top, it is described as "Easy to learn. Exciting to master", which is getting so far out there into marketing land that my spidey senses tell me to stay far away.

A game like this with a million variations is almost immediately uninteresting. It makes it seem like the rules / strategy aren't fully formed and doesn't feel like something worth learning. The implementation is great though.

That's the point. Adding the LED does very little to help the user understand the state. In the end, you'll just push the button anyway to make sure.

What, exactly, are you talking about? The OP is referencing the fact that the wife got _everything_ in the divorce. I'd be curious to understand why "facilitat[ing] his success in some way over the better part of a decade" entitles her to everything he ever made.

>> The paragraphs about git were interesting, in the sense that the author themselves suffer from the industry's "I'm right and you're wrong" motto that is the reason, by the looks, that they've left. There is some unresolved conflict there.

> I don't necessarily think that's "I'm right, you're wrong". Instead it looks more like just being strongly opinionated on the matter.

Are you honestly making the claim that the part of the post that repeatedly states "You're doing it wrong" isn't saying "I'm right you're wrong", but rather just being "strongly opinionated on the matter?"

This kind of over dramatizing is tiresome. "Demonic chords" (what's a demonic chord, anyway? Are bees buzzing in a tritone? Are bee hives playing chords?), talking about it sounding like a 1920's vampire movie, etc. Sure makes it sound like nothing in the world could be more creepy.

Then you go and watch a video demonstrating this effect, and it's more like the humming/buzzing sound from the hive is... slower. That's it. It's just slower, lower frequency.

So what? These people will no longer be your run of the mill "runner". They will be augmented, much the way we're augmented by using bicycles and skis, etc.

The original claim that if someone were to be able to move at these speeds that they would suddenly need to be heavily bogged down in safety gear is flat out ridiculous. Comparing it to other sports where we move at similar speeds should be more than enough evidence of that.

This is hilarious, and completely absolves everyone from bad decision making like this. My immediate reaction to 23andme was "there's no way in hell I'm sending something as private and personal as my DNA to a private company".

Why? Because there's no telling what happens to it. It's a failure of judgement to believe that just because a company is reputable today that it will be reputable tomorrow. Companies change owners, they change board members, they get bought and sold. And _hacked_.

So let's stop this nonsense of giving everyone a free pass because it was a "solid, reputable company". Maybe we can give grandma a pass, but someone on a technically minded forum such as HN should know better.

This is exactly the behavior I would expect from someone with a psych PhD.

Seems like this idea is well within the capability of one person to run and moderate it for free / fun in their spare time.

That's a shame you find less than 3% of it interesting.

Have you tried this website called reddit.com? It's just chock full of interesting things and rational discussions. You'll love it there.
