Cool, thanks. Love that there are others trying to do similar things: we all need to work together as much as possible.

That's how it currently works.

A fair point. Much of the advantages are for developers, not the wider userbase.

OStatus uses "@chrismdp@rstat.us nice post!" style-messages. This kind of works. Ideally I'd like to drop the leading @ but I guess that'll be hard to do.

True. A job title that isn't foisted on you isn't as bad, although it's a label you're applying to yourself. A silly job title you make up is harmless. The danger for people that do one thing for 8+ hours a day is that they specialise too m

I'm kind in agreement about this. $0.25 a week really is tiny.

Just to second this one: I've used DNSimple for years, and it's an awesome product. I can't imagine doing DNS without it now.

So after all the furore on HN surrounding the choice of platform for this game, a friend urged me to point out to everyone you can now get the alpha :) Here are the original HN posts: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3440596 http://ne

The Ruby community is exemplary in this regard, something I totally took for granted.

Thanks! I may still do that, if I makes sense to do so and I can distribute it easily enough.

The joys of iPhone autocorrect :) thanks.

Yeah, thought about it (Gosu was great for getting started), but decided I wanted to get back to fundamentals and switch to a slightly lower level framework to aid my understanding of what's really going on under the hood.

I looked at this, but the stop the world GC would still kill the frame rate from time to time sadly. Also there's a large amount of inefficiency in the object translation layer between the two languages.

That's a shame: I didn't mean to come across like that. I love Ruby: it's far and away my favourite language. Anyone reading the rest of my blog can see that very quickly. And I'm not sure Ruby will be the wrong tool forever: there just isn

Reasonable comments - thanks for the HN feedback. It's not for me to say if I'm an expert in Ruby or not, but I don't think attempting something to push some boundaries is mutually incompatible with experience or knowledge. If I'd succeeded
