Thanks for playing the game :) I'm Daniel, Diego's brother who also worked on this project. Your question is a bit broad, but I can tell you what it was like to work with emscripten. We used emscripten to compile our C++ applicati

Most innovative ideas at first seem like bad ideas. Flipping conventional wisdom on its head takes a while. This talk by Dan Abramov helped me understand better how 'best practices' are often taken so literally that their value is

I'm not sure why this comment is getting downvoted. I have read a lot of Nassim Taleb and completely agree with your comment. He is a modern philosopher with really valuable insights about how to navigate the world given all of our bia

I have actually been living in Canada for 4 years now. Everything is a very hairy mess; I was there in the summer of 2015 and remember thinking "Wow! Things can't get possibly worst than this", and then I went back unexpected

I'm from Venezuela, and happen to know a few people that are mining bitcoin down there. Electricity is incredibly cheap! You practically don't have to factor electricity costs in your operation. Yes, the grid is very unstable, but

I was taught functional programming through SML in university two years ago. I have never had my brain twisted with so many interesting and clever concepts - it was one of the most valuable semesters I had, and my favourite class. Go learn

I spent some time in Seattle last summer. I was really impressed by the LEED certifications that a lot of the buildings in the downtown area have; most of them are certified gold - the spaces seem really nice for working!

I really recommend reading Creativity Inc. By Ed Catmull, one of the cofounders of Pixar. It's an incredible book full of insight on how Pixar fosters creativity to create hit after hit movie. It really helped me shift my mind during

I have never bought bitcoin with the allowance. In case anyone is wondering, the government sells each Venezuelan $300 per year at the official exchange rate. This is the only amount that we're given without having to go through a leng

But what is there to sell? Every industry has received incredible shock from the economic situation, there are no dollars to import material goods from the outside so that they can support themselves. Besides, I can't think of anything

Tourists generally don't go to Venezuela because the country is extremely unsafe. The capital, Caracas, is ranked as the second city with the highest murder rate in the world [1]. There is an extremely low regard for life - petty crimi

I am from Venezuela. In case you are wondering how terrible the Venezuelan economy is right now, think about this: Our biggest denomination bill (100 Bolivares) is not enough to buy $1 USD [1]; in january 2013 you could buy $14 USD for the
