I read this and my brain immediately thought it had to be an April Fools joke. It took a second or two to remember it is September. Regardless, my hat is off to them for betting the company's name on their streaming business. I know that's

I have two give two huge thumbs up to a few books on that list: * A Fire Upon the Deep - This book manages to capture both galaxy wide conflict and intense personal narrative in a manner that kept me riveted to the end. That and an extremel

I work at an indie game shop and I have pushed us to use it (almost) everywhere we need to define a file format. Originally we were using JSON for everything, which is great for the quick and dirty approach -- but as our code base (primaril

What kind of $ range makes it worth your time? I work at a mobile game studio that makes heavy use of lua and I could see us putting some money into it. Also, does LuaJIT differ any from the stock lua interpreter when it comes to GC perform

Do you plan on allowing people to charge for hosting? If so, aren't there some serious health code issues that arise (at least in the U.S.)? Friends of mine work at a non-profit that wanted to sell espresso at their center and they ran into

If the clicks were accidental, we wouldn't see such strong conversion numbers when we advertise our own products with banner ads in our games.

Ha! When we sit around and brainstorm ideas for new levels in Paper Toss or World Tour (or secret future projects) we always joke about how no one probably has any idea that there is a storyline behind it. That's pretty cool you noticed tha

I've worked at Backflip for the last year. The company was started by a few friends of mine from a previous startup here in the Boulder area, and since then it has grown from 6 fulltime employees to 10. We're growing at a good rate and are

Lived in Boulder for two years now and I love it out here. Weather is, for the most part, amazing and it is really hard to beat the view. Also an outdoor sports heaven. I should mention that the startup I work for is hiring, so if you want

First off, re: the "but everyone around me seems to be perfectly fine" line. Everybody may look fine, but what is going on under the surface might be entirely different. When I was in the darkest depression of my life only a few select pe

I've noticed that by being a good typist the keyboard is almost like an extension of my mind. I simply don't notice it at all. When combined with a powerful editor like vim, it's almost magical how well integrated I feel with the code that

Oh you rock, this is awesome. As soon as I opened the link for this news item I closed it immediately due to the complete lack of readability. Someone buy the man a book on typography, please!

While I respect the cleverness of his hack, it's the kind of thing that sets off alarm bells in my head. Much like fancy template metaprogramming tricks in C++ did, only worse since it actually breaks the semantic contract that the language

Okay, actually ran your service against our beta site. The only (minor) complaint that I have is that when I initiate a test there is a long delay before I get to the page that is monitoring the test itself. I assume there is a setup proces

Yea the registration process was very confusing. Few thoughts: - I had to scroll down on the plan selection page to even see there was a form to fill out. This is on a 1680x1050 screen btw. - I expected to be taken somewhere when I clicked
