When you think only in A restrictive language, your thinking becomes equally restricted. Any of us would become rigid if we never used or understood dynamic languages and only use java or c++ bog standard OOP. So the comment is less about t

A friend of mine is making a competing game, Path of Exile. According to some, it's more of a D2 sequel in spirit than D3 is. Darker setting, more emphasis on skill and action play, etc. The goal when making PoE was to create a game where t

My take on this was actually that many high end customers 1. Trial / buy at the lowest possible price point 2. Ask lots of annoying questions 3. Master the system 4. (finally) move to a higher price bracket 5. Understand the system and stop

I hear what you are saying: make quality, complete products. However, a minimum viable product basically means 'ship something and iterate towards complete. Considering how many products I have worked on that no one ultimately wanted, you n

A smaller sub-robot could detach and then navigate your apartment building. How would it do that? You'd help it, or you wouldn't receive automated packages. You already provide a structured environment to receive letters in your letterbox.

Wow! Looks great for Gridspy ( see http://your.gridspy.co.nz/demo/ ) We need to visualise power usage data in the browser. The more tools we have the better. We're currently using dygraph but this looks much more flexible. I hope that the

Also, a friend's game "Path of Exile" is using a pre-purchase model to fund the late stages of development https://www.pathofexile.com/purchase/ You can buy micro-currency in advance and in exchange receive perks similar to KickStarter. B

I really like the look of Meteor. We're currently building the next version of our dashboards for Gridspy ( http://www.gridspy.co.nz/ ). It would rock to have a solid real-time library at the core. For us it needs to support our live data f

Blueprints specify the fabric of the building. All Google needs is a symbolic layout which is just a subset of that.

The other option is a 2-d barcode on the road or on a sign in a position that the car can read it. That barcode leads to a URL with a machine-readable map of the drive-thru. Naturally such a sign and URL is maintained by the restaurant and

I disagree. If something is core to your business you cannot outsource it. Google couldn't use someone else's search engine Microsoft couldn't use an outside kernel or filesystem for windows Gridspy has to make its own dashboards. However,

You should only be creating custom solutions if this (blogging for instance) is your primary business. If you want to kick ass as a one-person team you have to know your limits and only spend time of things which are critical. Nice suggesti

Cool! I agree on the "good to know people with similar problems" I can see why aggregation of the data can be such a challenge for you. My suggestion revolves around a smart client that can do aggregation through (for eg) javascript on in a

Just to get on your lawn for a moment. For Gridspy, we store data into our server from sensors and allow customers to watch a 1-second live data stream. http://your.gridspy.co.nz/demo/ The key from us was to switch from a "polling" model
