Are you planning to open source it so people can run it locally?

Do you have a contact detail? I am not looking at the moment but I may want to move to Japan in the future since my wife is Japanese.

That's neat, but I managed to do something similar (except for the graphics, I haven't tried that) with Markdown + Mathjax.

I like to watch the games live on freechess.org (you might want to install a client to connect to their server), because I people can discuss the moves during the game, it's a different experience than just replaying the moves.

Why would you need the wifi turned on on a Kindle? One should just buy that version and turn off the wifi, thus getting rid of the ads.

I think the improvement new stacks are bringing are getting more and more marginal, compared to the effort required to learn them, and instead of learning those new framework, I would rather spend time learning about new fields in program

My son is 6, I am planning to do just that when he is completely familiar with reading - so probably next year.

I was thinking that any function like f(x)=e^(-x(1+o(1/x^2)) would work, provided that it can be expended into an infinite series (say, f(x)=e^(-x(1+e^(-x))) )

I don't know about Dutch, but "Doudou" can also be used in French for "Teddy bear".

DHH asks him if Thiel has invested more in Trump than in any other YC startup - implicitly asking PG if he's happy to have such a partner. PG retorts by asking if DHH would fire an employee who would be supporting Trump. How is that no

by S4M 10y ago
The fact that PG answers DHH with another question to avoid the original question proves that he (PG) is uncomfortable with the subject. Though, this would better be asked to sama.

As a European following the election, I think Trump is a very scary man, yet you provide a good reason to support him, so I am grateful for that as it illuminates my perspective of the US election. Yet, Trump didn't mention those conne

Thanks for correcting me. The fact that I remembered the formula wrong proves that I didn't understand that formula well enough to remember it. It was been about 13 years since I didn't do any physics, and I forgot most of it, how

As someone who as a student was good at math and bad at physics, I'd rather disagree. Take for example the gravity formula F_{A->B} = G * M_A * M_B/d(A,B)^3. It's very easy to interpret that, but where does that come from?

Can you give some examples of what you have in mind? I find this very intriguing but I can't think of anything it could do that would be impossible with hot reloading code.

Also, it's easy enough for a VB programmer to get started with React, he/she can quickly teach himself/herself some js and then follow a tutorial online, and after some point build a toy application with React. And that can b

If your friend plays chess - or any 1 vs 1 board game - he can implement a chess program and execute the algorithm by hand to see how his program performs. I haven't done that myself, I am sure it's tedious, but at least he will b

The city of Paris used to have a gay mayor and a gay man is the CEO of one of the biggest companies in the world, so I'd say bigotry is largely disrupted already.

I did apply for the YC summer batch 2016, and for the YC fellowship through "Apply HN". I wasn't selected but someone saw my application and contacted me to become my cofounder. It didn't end up working out but I can see

For what I know Electron apps take lots of CPU and RAM, so Gallium might be a win over Electron resource-wise.

Actually I was wondering what Exponent JS brings since its based on React JS which itself enables to make mobile apps in js/React.
