This is an interesting question. Although I am not deeply familiar with either of the games you mention, it seems that they are inherently time-based. There are also some random elements to CivClicker (e.g. traders that come through). Given

If the pace isn't sustainable for a given person, that person probably shouldn't be trying to do a startup. This might seem a bit blunt, but I think it's probably true. There are many other options to bring the same financial

This is not really true. There are plenty of ideas that don't involve a significant R&D phase (i.e. consist of more or less the implementation of the idea rather than the research-based refinement of an idea) which can immensely va

This is an incredibly important point. We often imagine that the price of convenience is pretty high, but more often than not, the markets we serve turn out to be incredibly price conscious. Sure, there are sections of the socioeconomic pyr

Fantastic product idea and a landing page that's so good that I figured out what the product does without touching my scroll wheel. I wish however, you'd include a section that provides a reasonable explanation as to why Workroo

How does "call us back when you get to series A" entail "none of the risk, all of the upside"? The risk is that the fund has to pay a higher valuation for the same company, they might not callback, etc. and the upside is

The "design is better" concept generally only works if the thing you're competing with is exceptionally bad in terms of design. I've found Doodle to be very easy to use, even for people who have very little experience wi

This is not entirely accurate. The difference is that ZeroMQ doesn't have a centralized broker, not that it doesn't allow you to work with sockets. Lots of ZeroMQ projects utilize sockets for communication. In fact, because there

Why would you have a web server that doesn't process requests async?

Communication would become a bottleneck regardless of whether you're using MPI or something else. The problem you're talking about has nothing to do with MPI; it is intrinsic to distributed computing itself.

It would have been better if implemented under FastCGI which solves the one-process-per-request problem. I guess the intended benefit of the project isn't really the Node eventloop, it's that it allows developers to use the same l

I agree it should be considered in an interview, but I don't think it should be the point or the focus of the interview. The idea is that even though you'd like to work with someone who has a nice personality, I'm sure

I don't think it is reasonable to expect a Google interviewer to ask you about your "stories ... from travelling around the world." Their primary reason for hiring you is for your ability as (I'm assuming) a developer. A

The exposition is not very clear. What exactly do you mean when you say "No edges will be communicated over the network, only half of the nodes."? I'm puzzled, because a few sentences later, you claim "The only network I

I don't think it is necessary for Github to provide choice for this sort of thing. It isn't a ground-breaking, massive change to their main product. To me, it seems like an unnecessary choice that would only create confusion and m

As a concept, I guess this can be called an OS, but at the present moment, it is pretty far from one. Right now it seems like this is basically a work-in-progress replica of BusyBox built on Node.
