For 2d stuff, haxe is pretty good. If you have any Actionscript 3 experience, a lot of memories will come rushing back to you. I haven't tried Godot yet but it looks really compelling. I sure wish they didn't make up a new languag

Neat! I'm basically doing this exact thing. I've got a tiny team together and we're contracting with a structure like a co-op. Any interest in talking about it?

I don't have firm rules for when I exercise my puts. I should probably work on some. I basically weigh a few heuristics. If you look at the VIX historically, it has an extremely strong mean reversion. This should make some sense. The w

Do your own research, don't do this if you don't know anything about options etc etc etc, but If you're concerned about a huge market crash (like I kind of am) here's what I'm doing: In addition to your regular port

The competition is fierce? Must only be a SF phenomena. My side of the country doesn't feel that way at all. Seems like there's way more jobs than qualified applicants over here. Still the same problem of most being unwilling to p

Nothing can divert the "for your convenience" consolidation train unless we accidentally trigger some really unexpected economic / instinctual landmines along the way. So, it's up to us on an individual level to preserve

Just found this. https://github.com/rongierlach/babel-plugin-syntax-exists not the worst workaround in the short term. Better than lodash's _.get but worse than coffeescript. :P

by MrLeap 9y ago
Truly. That operator has most of the gravity that pulls me towards coffeescript. Lodash things, like _.isNil staunch the bleeding, but it's just.. not the same. I wrote coffeescript for 3 years, and the first 2 or 3 months was a frustr

I obviously didn't "meet the bar", but it's not obvious to me which bar I missed. In my estimation I clobbered the phone tech screen. I clobbered all of their board work except the first early morning one. I did sort of

If you don't want a job I'm sure that's a good thing to bring up. When I interviewed there I made some brief remarks about the downsides to consolidation to one of the 8~ people they had me talk to that day. His face turned a

And it's not as though my reaction would be to open a door and yell "Run! You're free!". My first reaction would be to confront the friend about the situation. Next steps would happen next. Ignoring it because it's

You might be right. If that's the case, I offer this errata: "Explain to me how this isn't your father being a dick."

Phew thanks for making yourself known. This could be bias, but the blob of people on the internet seems to have become a lot more casually sociopathic over the last 15 years. Sure back when folks used to troll for laughs, but it always seem

Phew, thank you. I'm just a stranger on the internet, but i'm immensely grateful that you're planning to investigate this.

Sure, a fantasy. I doubt you can be convinced, but let me try. I was always sure that if someone broke into my home, I would confront them - lethally - if necessary, despite any complexities. Dignity is important to me, and I'm willing

by MrLeap 9y ago
There is no question in my mind that I would confront anyone I knew engaging in the situation you're describing. Among my circles, injustices always seem to be a third person. Mostly bosses. Boss doesn't give you a day off despite

I've had some acquaintances do some weird, antisocial, definitely illegal things. I can't recall a time when an acquaintance has done something that appears as evil as the situation we're discussing. Best case interpretation

Seems like he's so hypnotized by being rich adjacent he couldn't ask some questions about something that weird. HN is the closest thing I have to a portal into the private lives of people with nigh infinite money, and eeeevery so

I wonder if IT careers can cause an executive function disorder. My intuition is yes, sometimes.

When you include that stuff, you're right! I'm just talking about the thinking -> writing step. 6 minutes is a really long time for something like fizzbuzz. That's 360 seconds. The second hand has to go around the clock 6

We're all at different skill levels. If you begrudge people for being below you, it alienates them and prevents you from being able to uplift and teach. We've all gotta eat, right? The point I was trying to make wasn't to tra

I haven't messed with binary since college. (Well, some bitmask stuff happens every half decade I guess.) If you remember binary is just base2 I bet you could do it. Since you do accounting stuff, could you split a number into each bas

A little tougher than fizz-buzz. I'd hope that people who take 6 minutes on fizz-buzz aren't calling themselves good and experienced. Am I taking crazy pills? Here's basically what they asked me to do: #1) Write a function th

I'd love to serve some bay area companies, but I'd really prefer to not live there. None of the companies I've spoken to so far have any interest in remote help. One west coast company has interviewed me. The company recruite

This is neat, it'd be cool if there were support for choosing a time range from the same clock. I have that use case right now and I'm using one of those two handled slider widgets.
