I'm finally getting around to building a game, I've always been fascinated with paradox style grand strategy games and logistics and management games like openttd. Speaking with some friends, they encouraged me to give it a go, bu

This is certainly a position I've found myself in, there's a temptation to talk about ideas you intend to do, but the ones I get progress on are ones where I actually execute on the concept, telling people later once I have someth

I wouldn't undervalue the effect of getting a notification every time your account gets used with additional details and the trivial ability to look back over past transactions whenever you want. I'm constantly surprised by how us

I've been wanting this forever :)... I personally think there's demand for this, unfortunately I don't have the right background to prototype it.

It's more about controlling state. I like to think of ring[0] as a really nice example of this that's pretty easy to reason about. It abstracts http handling into a series of key/value data structures. The request that's

Are there any good suggestions for what to do if "just get more sleep" isn't really working? These sort of articles really frustrate me, their suggestions always feel fairly weak. I have difficulties falling asleep and a litt

That could work, not sure how discoverable that is to the end user though...

Right, but that seems to be something that requires the user specifically to be a dev? And to know how to compile each program they need to tweak? I'm thinking of something where say I load up a program UI Tweak , I don't need to

So one thing I don't understand is why window managers in linux never seem to have ways to let the user tweak the UI? I mean it's something to add, but I find it odd that no one has thought to add it? Or is it just a feature hid

Really nice, I'll be dropping this around a few people I know getting into python, any good way of passing on feedback? Github issue?

This is what I don't understand, who hires a lawyer to represent them and then gives them an open remit to go after anyone and everything? At some point I would have thought, heads of creative or marketing would be going, "so what

That's fascinating, thinking about this, I've realised that I only do this when I'm in a conversation with new people or for whatever reason am specifically considering the interplay of what's being said. Otherwise I hav

Ok that's interesting, you've clearly done a lot in this space already, are you still working in this space and would you be up for a quick discussion about it? I was actually thinking about it from a different direction. Allow pe

Actually, what properties would such a place have? I keep thinking that a defining problem of the present day is the absence of such a platform. I'm even willing to dig in and help put something together. I wonder if an ask HN around:

What's the chance of this happening to a random person? I don't know, it depends of if someone has an axe to grind I guess. In that sense you might be right, in terms of picking a concrete thing that has happened to a person, or s

I could, but that's like you saying the concept of off the record isn't valuable, as everything you say in public is a complete representation of your beliefs, the fact that a concept as off the record exists I think implies other

I have to wonder, if the outcome we are interested in is whether students understand the material, can't we do both? Some optional mid point tests, where the student can chose to keep the grade or bet it all on that final assessment? I
