You (and others) may enjoy Adam Savage's new book. He was one of the Mythbusters guys. In one of the first chapters he writes about his love of lists and checklists, and the impact it makes on the process of "making." I&#x2

I'd be curious to hear more about this. Is there a certain time of year, is there a certain area you need to stay, what time of night, etc. Feel free to shoot me a link if there is already a good resource explaining some of this The

One of your side hustles is currently making 6 figures in revenue, but you're saying you haven't hit "escape velocity yet?" I'm curious if your goals are more ambitious, or perhaps 6 figures of _revenue_ isn't

It's kind of a shame that this is the most up voted comment where this guy is just sharing something cool he made, he's not saying it's the next big thing. It may not be worth spending the time to optimize for these other pl

That was it! Man completely forgot about that game! This is a great take on it, I was able to quickly have fun, especially once I was able to recognize the concept. I love that you can mod via JSON as well. Do you have the code open sou

Was this inspired by a custom map on Warcraft 3? Name is escaping me right now.. Been such a long time since I played it! Would love to know about some of the tech you used to build it

Hey, something where my two cents might actually be valuable :) I created the VS Code plugin for Optic: https://github.com/opticdev/optic-vscode-plugin . It was actually my first time writing a text editor plugin, but

Agreed, but I would imagine a meaningful population of people would do the same thing in that situation

Curious to hear what book you are referring to, and what physical skill you learned that carried over into your career

I'm also curious to see this. I think a lot of the really strong programmers I know do this instinctually where as I have to be more deliberate breaking things down. Perhaps some of it is that they are able more more naturally hold i

I had a similar fee when I tried to send a friend $30 of BTC to a paper wallet for Christmas. Ended up just walking him through setting up a Coinbase account and gave him $30 cash and he just link his own credit card (although he was never

Thanks for highlighting this, I'm going to share with all of my friends investing/thinking of investing in the crypto space. Always good to get a reminder to take everything you read with a grain of salt. Also rarely get to see

Similar situation on El Capitan.. it doesn't crash the browser but gives a lot of "Safari Web Content quit unexpectedly." I felt like it had to be just me because how could something so glaringly obvious be the case for ever

Yea this site is fantastic. I just discovered the site because of two threads that made it to the front of HN today. I've already spent a couple hours reading all the other articles, I think I'll likely become a member

Really awesome. Surprised by how much time I spent on there. I noticed when I tried to download it in Safari, it didn't work because I don't think fetch is supported. Would have been good to get a notice about that earlier on.

I'd still like to read about how you did that!

Would enjoy seeing a summary of this rather than having to go through every slide. I did go through about 30 slides though and it was pretty interesting, thanks for putting this together

Same. Awesome looking watch, but after trying to scroll up and down a few times I was like welp guess I won't be finding out more about this watch! Impossible to find out what's in the middle of the site

by aaronm14 12y ago
Agreed on both points. Granted if it was "Flexbox in 20" I may have been less likely to take a look :)

Who is "we?" At first I thought you did the whole thing by yourself and was going to say I'm always amazed by the people who can design and code, especially a game. Seems impossible. Great stuff regardless how many people

I've often felt the same way. I've found things just by spending time brainstorming, and keeping it in the back of my mind as I go about my week. You can actually come up with a lot of ideas just by practicing observation of dai

by aaronm14 12y ago
Yea, it's kind of odd they don't explain some of these things in more detail on their site. If they do then maybe I'll invest some time playing around with it

Thanks for the comment! That's a good idea, I will continue developing the app and keep that in mind. Since I didn't really know what I was doing, I ended up rewriting things several times anyway so I guess as long as I kept re-

Hm, good call, thanks for that. Looks like there's a binding for Nodejs out there too: https://github.com/peterbraden/node-opencv

Anyone know if these guys making these games are using some kind of library for the image processing or what? Seems pretty complicated to do

Thanks for the write up, I enjoyed the explanation of even the little details throughout the app.

I see that's probably what it is, thanks for the info. I will probably just need to download them.
