Seriously, congrats on both learning Objective-C and publishing a videogame in a marketplace. I can't wait to see what other awesome stuff you do!

It also looks like a considerable number of people on HN— myself included— had never heard of it. I mean, it appears the link to their site had never been submitted before.

I don't think they're asking for lifetime maintenance and support. I think they're asking that if the author is aware of bugs and exploits, they should at least make the small effort to alert users who are still downloading their code. If t

I think it's useful for other people to make sure what they're doing alines with convention. For instance, I had no idea about the Library of Free Data Models linked further down the page, so most of the model logic I'm unsure of has been c

Hardware that the majority of consumers aren't paying for . If they had a stranglehold on the supply chain, you'd have a point, but Apple raising prices on Mac hardware does nothing to the overall market.

Except the concern isn't about satiating the pedophile's need; it's about the pedophile becoming desensitized and eventually normalized to the thought of having sex with a child. They experience "loli" or virtual children, and that would be

Awesome tutorial! A nitpick: Your use of "it's" is incorrect. When used to convey possession, you omit the apostrophe. Also, this is my first time seeing cssdeck, and I must tell you how fantastic it is! The experience was great.
