Thank you! I've been focusing a lot on Overwatch recently, I think the game and the scene is really exciting right now. It's just me, but a close friend did a lot of the design work, especially very early on.

I prefer TypeScript. It comes down to two major issues: 1. Tooling; TypeScript's tooling (especially in VS/VSCode) is vastly superior to Flow's tooling. It's easy to think of type systems only as things that prevent bugs

I haven't seen it before either, but this clearly took a lot of work and it seems like a reasonable price. I don't mind paying $10-15 for something I'll be staring at every day for possibly years. I really like it, nice work.

I've been using Todoist. Now that I'm good with the keyboard shortcuts (including the quick-add from the desktop app), I find it to be a lot more effective than Evernote or OneNote was.

To prepare: 1. Load test and fix what breaks. In the fastest and least-sophisticated way, this is just taking typical requests and throwing increasing numbers of them at your server until it breaks (or if you're testing in production,

Yup, C# codebases (especially w/ tools like Resharper) can be massively refactored and, in my experience, almost always work perfectly as long as there are no compilation errors. C# tooling is fantastic.

P.S. not sure how many gamers we have on HN, but I've been working on a rating tracker feature for Overwatch teams (thread here[1]). It's not released yet, but if you'd like to help test, shoot me an email (in bio) and I&#x27

Twitch Plays Pokemon started this trend. Twitch ended up taking down the stream for a while, which caused a massive uproar because TPP exploded in popularity and was the #1 most-watched stream at the time. I think they took it down because

Yeah, I just did some testing on an Android device as well and had the same result. I like Slate's API and data model more than Draft's, so I'd almost certainly switch if this were fixed.
