I myself am making a distinction between game developers and game designers . Also, I don't think you are making a proper analogy. I'd put DTP dudes, print people and so on as analogous to game developers, and writer as game de

A slight OT anecdotal - most of the best MtG players I personally knew are now stock brokers. The game itself, meta-game and the entire ecosystem around it taught me a lot about value, perceived value, sales, psychology... I don't regr

It's OpenFL now, NME being just a native (cpp & neko) part of it.

I've actively started to work on a blog series called The Dark Side of Game Design, while at the same time working on a game "from the dark side" for which I've gotten funded for. Should be interesting exploration of mo

Looks very well done! However, how does this integrate with existing user's ebook libraries?

I'd be contempt with just EFF being one of the 3rd parties to observe and cover in detail congressional investigation of the issue, in some official account of transparency. That's also more realistic goal.

He has a talent for getting attention and seems to enjoy it. But to call him a troll would be a great disservice to his work. His ideas are very "flammable" though, so I can understand you seeing him as troll. Perhaps best approac

Unstable, underpaid, overworked and extremely competitive market. Also, pinnacle of engineering in both frontend and backend; eats web dev for breakfast.

I'd wager many of the upvotes are more in-line with "i love watching things burn" than "maybe this will help". Also, are you sure it's not too late?

> "if he were to pull a Snowden in these countries, they’d jail him immediately." This is the first time I've noticed this usage of "Snowden". Anyone noticed it earlier?

To be fair to the OP, he asked a question whether it is trending or not.

It's not insightful and plug is only masquerading as joke.

by dsirijus 13y ago
So, let me get this straight.... The OP is using 2 common trending topics on HN (return to fundamentalist text values and whistleblowing/privacy issues), with zero added value, to plug his book? I'll upvote this only so people c

I say it with a straight face because I've attended a fashion show or two. To be clear, I just think flat is a solid stepping stone in right direction, nothing more.

Well, there's flip side to this "fad" - with its simplicity, it is nudging us further towards content-oriented design. Or at least that's the general sentiment I'm perceiving. The flat design movement is kind of a Ü

Yeh, but the convenience of it here is that you may freely browse that repo (and change URL in the address bar), and still have the access to the repo URL.

A good question. From what I've seen, there was no interest in it by manufacturers so they've went silently with Ubuntu Touch route. As a side note, I'm amazed at how little love by hackers Ubuntu Touch has. It's what we

No. Nothing nearly of that scope. And that's what you need. Broad coverage. LinkedIn maybe, but I've deleted (very useless) account there, and hate them from the depths of my soul. Someone called LinkedIn a virus and I tend to a

That's fine. I've expected polarized oppinions on this. I just think about it in terms of actionable changes and money flux in startup world, so it is very important to me. It's a maker-or-breaker-of-app-stores kind of change
