I'm furiously working on a project that I want to do a Show HN on at some point that's relevant to this. I'm basically making a Lovecraftian text editor / puzzle game / walking simulator(?) where progress is gated b

I'm making a lovecraftian text editor where silly tentacles type.. what you type.. on a 3d mechanical typewriter. Someone on twitter called it "My octopus typing teacher" just a few days ago. I didn't realize it was a re

Unless we get an AGI to do it for us, there's a part of me that thinks that programming will eventually be as baseline as literacy. If I'm right, OP is either ahead of the curve or jumping the gun, depending on your perspective. :

I'm making a lovecraftian typing game right now (see my progress here... https://twitter.com/LeapJosh ) and this was a planned feature, now I wonder if I should nix it so as not to be derivative, since you beat me to i

Might be an easier way to handle parallelization.

This is heartening. I've made some goofy stuff recently that I've been vacillating between releasing or not. The most complete thing is a uhh.. parody text editor.. game. I've seen other indie projects recently that gave me a

Mithril.js is a pleasure to use, thank you for it.

I really loved this book. He was cancelled so thoroughly he had to change his name, and people were STILL trying to dox him, 500 pages later.

If we live in a world where reality is on deck, and not the seemingly arbitrary and capricious one that folks sometimes weave, I think you can determine what answer is "better" with more context. Renting a bus and filling it with

Is it really worth it to dig a hole? I seem to recall some other initiative that was stacking large blocks with some kind of tested COTS construction cranes. The stack-of-blocks way seems to intuitively scale better. You can increase capaci

Value wise, it's potentially a competitive advantage. Product differentiation, facilitate specialist niches that the commodity engines don't. The performance advantage is real. Getting to 85% of the visuals there is 'easy&#

I am building a.. uhh.. parody.. text editor.. game.. toy called Mark Twain Simulator(1), and I did not know this. This is too great not to absorb into my project at a foundational level. It's now in my DNA and will never leave. (1)

Their post processing stack has changed like 5 times in the last 2 years, breaking old methods of post processing. Hopefully now that SRP is getting more mature that particular thing will slow down. The videoplayer component broke for a few

Scene files are the biggest thing. They're merge conflict magnets. You breath aggressively and they'll "change". Our workflow tends to be based around prefabs, and a main scene we _rarely_ change. Despite never touching

I use Unity every day at work. This is a mixed bag for me. Unity gives google a run for their money when it comes to abandoning old features / letting them rot. The editor is kind of crashy, launch times get unwieldy fast. Sometimes th

If you spill it on accident on your way to surrender it, it would be really unfortunate.

This positions literally made me guffaw. '"Voting with your wallet" isn't voting for change; it's giving up.' I love the subtext I'm reading that boycotting companies that are doing bad things is for dirty

This is fun. I managed a data entry project at a previous employer that was kind of like this. We had non technical subject matter experts that I sneakily got to write several thousand unit tests. We had some quantitative and qualitative da

It sounds like a lot of his issues arise from human factors. For you to talk about the qualities of how good cancer treatments in the US are -- when I'd call the OP's experiences a result of gross negligence -- is the most tone de

Porous Aluminum eh? Wonder how well it stands up to gallium, or acetylene, or MAP gas, or a grind wheel instead of a cutoff wheel.

Pretty bizarre! Just a few hours before this article got posted I was brushing up my compute shader skills and the first thing I wrote was Conway's Game of Life on a 4096x4096 texture. baader-meinhof is in effect.

This article has inspired me to make a brick. The regular kind. I have tons of clay and a forge that can melt steel, honestly it just never occured to me so now I have to try!

I think the senses of someone persistent in building a perpetual motion device are not of the common variety. That said, he's a good, perfectionist craftsman. You and I both can commiserate on how impossible his mission is, but I don&#

This is a great article. I'm going to pass it on to a friend of mine. This particular friend's life's ambition has been to build a perpetual motion / free energy device. Now, I imagine people's immediate reaction is

Probably so! Just HN/Youtube as far as my media consumption goes for the last while. HN has tended very much towards the optimistic entrepreneurial advice end of the spectrum for a decade, for understandable reasons. My youtube channel

It's 404ing for now, so maybe the contents actually defy the title when I finally will get to RTFA. I have to say, I'm amused by a lot of the contrarian articles showing up on HN recently. There seems to be a growing tendency to s

Right? Data structure wise, layers are a stack. We've got fancier things we could use to generate images. What about a digraph? A node graph editor for compositing would be pretty cool. It'd get you kind of what you have in blende
