Definitely the case. The great programmer, the moment they realize that modding is the future, make their next release to get the modding interface done right. They don't decide "eh, I'll just add a bunch of items I've b

As you build and explore, you find patterns, see repetitive code, or get frustrated at the hassle it takes to add a new feature. This is when you refactor. It's that moment of realization when coding and you say to yourself "ah, i

I started this way. I could iterate on new game prototypes quickly because I made many games then threw them away. Might be worth noting his game plays and looks like minecraft. After getting burned by my own design decisions, which each ga

If you can skip step two without spending an unjustifiable more amount of time, you're best. Possible? Not for everyone. A great goal? Sure thing.

The bitcoin price won't stabilize until it's operation literally dictates demand. Once for all practical purposes everyday life is handled in satoshis, how does an economy expand?

This seems like a really, really fun class to teach. I would definitely do it, just for fun. But I wouldn't do it for money, because the pay sucks. Those with the skills to teach it right are out doing it in the private sector and maki

You want to introduce a higher, linear cost structure just so users who don't have the hardware can play the game? I can see the excitement of solving that as a technical problem. What I can't see, however, is a huge hole in the m

I don't see that as a problem. My guess is, even if you remove the barrier to entry by not requiring strong hardware to run the game, you still have to turn someone that has had no previous motivation to play hardcore games, to now pla

Why would I give up fixed operational expense of distributing my game and instead pay Amazon computing resources everytime one of my users played? The more you use, the more you pay. The more users you have, the more revenue you will need t

Also known as theft. Pesky regulations... As more people use bitcoin, they can only react when things like this happen. Take that lesson and carry it with you.

Fellas. The answer is clearly 100 years. Some of you will burn out, some of you will get divorced, but in the end, you'll have a shitty facebook.

1. this is a big responsiblity. Are you really signed up for this? 2. You curate the ideas? Doesn't sound very open to me. What about voting? How can you make this more democratic? 3. I'm not convinced these projects could gain tr

Sounds like a bunch of "core" people could get open source contributors, then muscle the votes so no one gets paid.

Code is not self documenting. I worked with a bunch of Rubyists that thought this (I love ruby, btw) and I wanted to strangle every single one of them. The parent comment nails this. These guys who thought "my code is clear therefore s

If they shut down Silk Road, and they have a bunch of block chain info, a couple more cross references and a bunch of arrests could settle the bitcoin dispute pretty quickly.

What's most important these days is the data was cleaned first, and was proactively given out to police which was used indirectly to ward off future crime. All it took was police presence. They didn't need to indiscriminately take

You still need a runtime test to find the error though, which I why manual QA is required.

You would need a static js compiler to type check the enum. So that's an extra step. This doesn't happen in Java or C, but browser based event models (the topic of the post) are almost always strings. Most front end shops choose t

Not to mention people like to "refactor" event names, without telling other teams that hey, all the events you listen to are no longer going to fire. Add to that its all JS, and you're hosed. Good luck maintaining your selini

Great point. You could could progressively backfill the search to protect the initial load and user experience. You could cut down on overall bandwidth by only backfilling search data if the user has shown a preference for using search. The
