Have you explored Arcadia at all? It uses the Clojure CLR port to hook into Unity with some sweet repl goodness. https://github.com/arcadia-unity/arcadia There seems to be some active development and I hope it works ou

By a fun coincidence, I stumbled on the r/roguelikedev subreddit this weekend and they are just today starting a "how to make a roguelike" read through. (It is a different tutorial than what you linked.) https://ol

I'm curious how the new Github Sponsors development plays into the one or very few maintainer "issue." My gut instinct tells me it will be an added incentive to keep the governance of such projects small or solo because how d

The author seems to have taken this desire into consideration too but I don't think he has figured out the way he wants to solve it. I did find this: https://github.com/pim-book/exercises but it doesn't seem

I'm so impressed it can just be launched with the Clojure cli tools (not sure if I'm phrasing that correctly). Very cool project. I've recently admitted to myself I don't actually like modal editing (but love keeping my

Your comment reminded me of this quote even though it might not entirely fit the topic at hand: "I must study Politicks and War that my sons may have liberty to study Mathematicks and Philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematicks and

ChromeOS has this feature for chromebooks now as well under the experimental flags section in case those users miss f.lux too. You can go to chrome://flags and search for Night Light to enable. As others have mentioned, I would ra

Well they do have A mapped to Z and B mapped to X which makes sense I guess but is flip flopped positioning from what the original NES controller was if I recall correctly. You might have to fight your muscle memory on this one.

That was the first thing I tried! And it worked! Cool project.

I also like this free HTML5 (and EPUB3) version as well. It just feels really clean. https://github.com/sarabander/sicp http://sarabander.github.io/sicp/html/index.xhtml

Fair enough, you both make good points. I have been exploring how to make a simple living off one's creations and trying to fight my own cynicism on all the seeming trade offs. Right now that just means staying focused on the creating

I agree that subscription fatigue is a problem and most will opt out but I feel you are projecting too much malice onto the developers in your last sentence. Why does asking for the subscription automatically entail they are hoping people w

I'm still beating the drums that the mid range chromebooks are the best Linux computer deals around. Take a look at something like the Asus C302 (and it won't come with the bloatware you mentioned about your previous Asus). Google

Some of my pessimism is not just with Microsoft, itself, even though I do have that. I think an argument can be made that we should not want all the decent software companies to be bought up by the same big five giant companies, no matter w

Yes, I am new to all of this so I see the electron hate because of the resource usage but then never see any meaningful discussion on what people would rather be used. It seems to be this Qt thing which appears to have it's own tradeof

I think this might be close to what you are thinking about: https://www.sbnation.com/a/17776-football I'm hoping your post gets more responses too because it is an area of storytelling that I am interested in as w

I'm curious what you folks think of things like Racket and it's ability to create DSLs for various problem spaces. This seems like it would let you stay in one language yet have the flexibility to still create the right tool for s

I'm in full support of net neutrality (as it seems everyone but the telecom companies is yet here we are, but I digress) but I like to think if this "doomsday" scenario were to happen then the outcry would finally be swift an

I'm on the side of why don't you just let Evan do his thing? Maybe a big part of why Elm is kind of really awesome already is because it's being developed differently. Just let a cool language develop differently this time! I

I'm glad to see this at the top. I do wish though that more Electron threads on here and r/programming would talk about the actual developments happening instead of the constant memory usage complaints back and forth. It's fu

The "in case" part is what I don't understand. This wording from Coinbase also makes it seem like things are still up in the air. August 1st is in a few days! How can there still be ambiguity with what is going to happen? Tha

There is a chrome extension called Crosh Window that keeps the Chrome shortcuts from coming in. That way things like Ctrl-w in Vim still work. edit: this might just be when going through crouton though. I don't really use the crosh she

It's the "only" part that keeps tripping me up. Very talented people come out with products that don't fit the market demand properly and therefore don't succeed. That isn't luck. I'm not saying that is th

This comes off a little aggressive to me. People should be able to provide opinions and anecdotes on HN without the constant "citation needed" for everything. We all know everything isn't fully backed by 4 studies that will b
