This made me happy. I also (obviously) have a soft place in my heart for pushing the boundaries of old / limited tech.

I updated the README with instructions on how to download the file, review it, and alias it locally. :-)

I made around 200 QBasic games when I was a teenager with no internet to help me, and it gave me so many amazing skills that I still use today!

Hey, fun to see my fun little project showing up on HN! Yes, aliasing the CLI command to a remote script is not exactly best practice. My casual question to myself when I made it was … what’s the literal easiest way I could get this to work

Don't tempt me.

I love this so much. I got my start on QBasic and made hundreds of games between 12 and 19 years old. I eventually left it behind, but always had a fond spot in my heart for it. Last year, when I was going to rebuild my personal website, so

I had the same experience as a kid. Probably built over a hundred QBasic-powered games with no internet to help me. I missed it, so last year when I rebuilt my website I built it in QBasic: jamon.dev

This is one of the big problems App.net always had, in that it wasn't at all intended to be a "Twitter alternative". Alpha was supposed to be an example of what could be built on the platform, not the entire product itself.

It's relatively large for a Phoenix web app, given that there aren't that many out there yet.

At Infinite Red we chose React.js over our previous choice of Ember not because it was objectively better at web, but because it lowered the context switching when our devs would switch between mobile and web projects. We have many devs who

Portland is amazing in the summer, so if you get a chance to come visit us and attend this conference, please do!

I should also mention that we've found React Native to be far more productive to use than Appcelerator or Xamarin. Not sure what the author used to determine those charts near the bottom.

Complaining about longevity of React Native and then recommending two proprietary, non-open-source competitors is, frankly, absurd. If Facebook ever abandons React Native we have all of the code and can continue to support it ourselves. If

One of the slides shows "Rails is still the best choice for entire classes of apps." "Best" is of course usually subjective, and this could spawn huge internet arguments back and forth about the relative merits of variou

I would start with LearnElixir.tv (disclaimer: Daniel Berkompas works for Infinite Red, which i own). It's very good though! > Does anyone know if there is any support for isomorphic Javascript on either platform? Or is that strictl

Rarely are we in a position to "accept" or "deny" changes in language. They just happen, with or without our consent. All we can do is try to keep up and make some sense of the current state.

Will there be RubyMotion iOS & Android CI support?

by jamon51 12y ago
Makes sense. For the record, I don't know much about the issue at hand, was specifically talking about one-word contributions (which I encourage on my project).
23.
by jamon51 12y ago
@buckbova, what's wrong with one-word changes? I run a semi-popular OS project and accept them all the time. It makes the newbs feel good and encourages them to explore further into the source code.

I wouldn't do a project rate as a freelancer. I own a design/development studio and encourage my employees to do side work if they want to, in order to get some experience in areas they don't normally dabble in. Examples are

It's too bad that keyword arguments are semantically opposite between CRuby and RubyMotion in Ruby 2.0+. It'll cause a divergence and makes it a little more difficult for Rails+RubyMotion engineers like me to switch. I understand

How do I know this statement is reliable?

It's worse than that, though. They're selling the game for half price which can harm in a couple ways. It takes away a potential sale and it also sets the market expectation that the game is only worth $15.

Actually, the license is good forever. The $100 is for updates and support.

by jamon51 12y ago
I can attest, as a RubyMotion early adopter, the product and especially the customer service make the $200 entry point and $100 service renewal well worth it. If excellent customer reviews and a real money-back guarantee don't convince
