I really want to like Atom but it's such a pity that they went for CoffeeScript instead of plain ES5/ES6.

It's bad in many cases. If you do mobile games with IAPs for instance, 20% retention during the first 7 days, with the ever rising user acquisition costs we have today, pretty much means you can't be profitable unless you explode

There's Crystal[1], which got some attention on AngelList, but it honestly looks like vaporware to me. [1] https://www.crystalknows.com/

Note that if you do this, you don't really need to whitelist specifically youtube, since their player is html5 by default for some time now.

I find that "click to play" works well enough. So it's always off by default, but you still have the option to make exceptions in the very rare cases where it's needed. I always wonder why is this not enabled by default

I've been considering subscribing to a music service lately, but there are so many nowadays that I have honestly no idea how to decide. For those of you with experience in this area, what criteria would you recommend? what should I loo

The way things are going, with a couple mobile games doing billions, and hundreds of thousands of others doing next to nothing, non-IAP pay-per-usage in app stores may well come sooner than most people expect.

That was the "easy" way of handling it and most devs resorted to it, but then you couldn't load things dynamically and seamlessly in the middle of a "level".

Games that are well engineered tend to be good games for some reason :-)

The thing is, bookmarks were never supposed to be used that way. Bookmarks are shortcuts to frequently used sites, say for instance apps or repos. If you are looking for a way to archive links, you are better off using a service that was de

Perhaps they want to test it first before rolling it out worldwide?

I think it's more a design trend than a magical tool that creates sites like these. Look up flat, metro and material design if you are looking for a name.

But that's how all posts like these go, HN loves to upvote them for some reason but they all boil down to "I'm quitting because I have enough money to do it".

Pointless weekend project idea: A service that scans articles for matching regexes to classify the level of bullshit of what you are reading. It could even be a browser extension with the bullshit indicator automatically shown for each page

Key/value databases are simple enough to setup and run, even for small projects. I can't see myself paying for a service like this.

It's certainly true that the CPU (a Motorola 68k clocked at ~7.60 MHz) didn't leave much space for process intensive operations; one misstep in your code and the entire game would lag and slowdown. Developers of Sega Genesis games

Dygraphs ( http://dygraphs.com/ ) has treated me well in the past. No dependencies, tiny library, handles millions of points, and it's html5 canvas based.

I guess they don't, unless a particular fork becomes popular enough to stand on its own.

I'm kind of surprised that they had books and videogames, but then it's not supposed to be a prison. I guess it's feasible to play Counter Strike on Mars after all.

Yes, because that experiment would be about as helpful, if not more, as studying the logistics of sending a group of people to Mars.
