I thought the growing awareness of the risk from cosmic radiation meant most settlements would be built below ground. (So no awesome geodesic dome front porch patios on Mars.)

The goal would be to not have to commute everyday. But if I did, take the ferry from Larkspur to the SF Ferry Building.

G-code (for 3D printing and milling). It's about as old (within a few years) as COBOL and Fortran.

Mill Valley (Marin County), California. Because of the Dipsea Trail. (One of the best hike/run trails on the planet.)

I make and sell low-cost robots, and business is great. :) But you don't see them, because I'm in a niche where I sell to companies with huge pressures to cut costs and go faster. (You don't see this kind of pressure for robo

It won't be accident-free, more likely accident-rare. There will be the occasional accident, but because it is so rare, it will be heavily covered in the media, thus skewing people's perception of the risk. (See: plane crashes)

Thanks. That's way more helpful and actionable. I submitted a pull request and now it's merged in. Which device are you using? https://github.com/zrispo/wick/issues/311 https://github.com

I agree that editing on a small screen-sized phone would be silly. But targeting phones for playback of Wick-created content would be a worthy goal. Also a worthy goal would be making the editor work on tablets if the screen was big e

Not 100% sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but there are two legit use cases: 1) Design on desktop, but publish for playing on mobile phones/tablets. 2) Design on iPad/tablet with connected keyboard. Play on tablet/

If you couldn't get past the 2nd pipe I think that means it's a successful Flappy Bird clone.

Agree. This project will be 100x more useful/popular if it also works well on mobile. But this is a Show HN. Pointing out a frustrating UX bug is fine. However, it's a new project. Bugs would be expected at this point. Going in

The Flappy Ghost demo made my day. Also fun to look around in the editor to see how it was implemented.

This is awesome! Wick reminds me of HyperCard. I fell in love with programming as a kid because of HyperCard (and its HyperTalk programming language). I hope Wick likewise inspires another generation of hackers.

I realized this many years ago when I was working with underwater robotics. I learned that fish swim in a pattern that looks like a sine wave, and so I started to design robots to fit that pattern. Anyway, biomimicry is a fascinating field

Lots of entrepreneurs would save so much time and headaches if they realized how right you are.

There are also pros who primarily do web development. They need a terminal window, a text editor, and a web browser -- making switching to a different platform not as painful.
