Would love to see examples of the engine working. Poked around a bit and couldn't find any demonstration games. Am I missing something?

I worked with Steve at a company before famo.us. He's an excellent leader and really does foster team cohesion unlike anything I've ever seen. Plus he's a natural teacher and likes to involve people in the creation of the &qu

The general stab of this article is great, but it's a little confusing: The first few paragraphs bemoan people who are willing to suffer through the valleys to get to the peaks, while the middle of the article is all about how difficult it

I get it, but he might be pretty upset when he finds his children falling in love and fooling around with higher maths or literature. Or even, god forbid, some useless skill like programming. I mean, when was the last time anyone ever had t

Is this how business people look at the people who actually make things? It's pretty unsettling. Also, it's pretty ignorant: Anyone who's been to a Google office or to Twitter's or Facebook's office can tell you that what someone wears or w

I’m not a programmer, much less a hacker, but I thought it would be interesting to find out from people that are. The barrier to entry is sufficiently low that you should at least try to become a hacker -- or even a programmer; you have t

I suspect HTML5 won't displace flash, but standards in general eventually will. Not any time soon, mind you, but eventually. I've been trying to come up with a way to articulate how I think about this whole non-debate and here's a first sta

I guess I'll wait to sign up until a user refers me to your website. As it stands, I read your article and then visited your site; I was curious about what kind of service could get away with not describing what they do. I think relying sol

I said I would pay to use it if you built it, so I've become a backer. Can I ask why you're going the open source route? I would definitely pay a premium to make sure your service stays around, is reliable and is improved over time. http:/

There are serious hurdles to decoupling ourselves from coal, but none of them are insurmountable. At least not hypothetically. :) One interesting idea I've heard in regards to storing electricity is using electric cars as batteries. Granted

It's expensive to make things cheap. Usually when something becomes cheap quickly it's because demand is high and producing that thing is less expensive. In the case of new energy sources, reaching parity with the grid is very difficult: No

I'm becoming increasingly viral blind. In the same way banner blindness is decreasing the value of CPM and moving things towards clickthrough, I find myself not clicking on things because they seem viral in nature. How long until viral blin
