Flash games also look crap stretched out That's partly what his software apparently fixes, by switching to the screen resolution to something close to the size of the game's screen. But I do agree, I don't see a market for this myself. It

If it's electronic media, I would guess that solar wind/flares will kill it pretty fast without earth's magnetic field for protection.

A comment here, which is unfortunately dead, says this: Make sure you don't neglect its contrary twin: Emperor's New Mind. (The entire dialectic between these two books is something straight out of G.E.B.) I haven't read GEB, but I loved

You're lucky. I've had salt and dish-washing liquid stolen from a shared kitchen in a college dorm.

Just to be clear, you expected to be able to use a beta system right away after providing your email, and not having access to that made you feel unsatisfied/uninterested? The signup button does say "request an invite", is that not enough?

Aside from the odd blog linked to from HN, the vast majority of blogs I most engage in are the ones to whose RSS feeds I subscribe and that regularly tick over. I can't remember ever getting to a blog as a result of a google search. For m

Because it's slightly less convenient for my thumb to reach, and just feels unnatural: it causes an ever-so-slight strain as I try to keep my fingers on the keyboard's home row. Yes, I can be pretty finicky sometimes. I know I'd probably ge

Isn't "pivoting" a huge drain on a startup though? You throw away a few months of code and have to create another product. It just cuts into your runway, so much better to get the right product as early as possible, through early customer d

So I was under the impression that "product/market fit" meant adapting your product to an existing market as early as possible, so you don't get stuck building the wrong thing. For example, IMVU started out with the founders writing 40k lin

In the end it's maybe 25% about having good ideas and helping people and 75% about putting on a show. This is very unfortunate, but also true when it comes to pure popularity on the web. However, one would hope that people starting blogs

I'm answering to you as I just finished my daily guitar practice, with stupid scales practice (triplet/reverse triplet/minor 7th flat five/pattern 1-5) and I still hate it. Advice: Don't do "stupid scales practice". Instead, try playing a

I agree with your overall point. However.. I know that they are a necessary-evil to learn if you want to learn how to solo, figure out chord structure, etc. But the whole thing sounds as fishy to me as someone saying you want to learn prog

I've seen you mention this code generator in a few comments. Can we get more details about this project? I'm sure many here would be interested to know. If you've written another comment on HN explaining it in more depth, or written a blog

What I find particularly interesting is the sort of "superstition" many of these kinds of robots show. What I'm referring to in this case is how, after 50 tries, the robot arm here moves to its right before every flip attempt. I believe the
