Although if the goal is community, the game development community feels fractured enough (in terms of sites to visit) as it is.

I think you may get stories like mine which are almost two decades old -- and not so relevant any more -- but hey. I've been programming most of my life (thanks to the 80s UK/BBC home computer revolution), but during high school t

Similarly, this article made me homesick for London. I suppose one angle on smartness is that it provides a simplistic lens on the tangle. If rather than observing the intersection of life, industry and history around us, we tap a single-pu

I have a similar position. If the content is valuable enough then it's tolerable to have a gate. Quibb is another similar platform, but I don't know of anything with the quality of Quora answers - Stack Overflow is the closest, bu

Completely agree with you and Shabih. Didn't work with Qasar as long as either of you two but pleasantly surprised by this news, in all the best ways. Awesome! Lucky YC. :)

They specifically mention defining company values and having predefined interview questions to test for every value.

The issue I've had is that while each service does have an API for pulling data in automatically, it's tedious connecting to all of them at once. I'm sure there are multiple startups out there working on a data platform for q

Do you have a code review process? Could you initiate one?

Odour would be one of the main concerns, but I love the idea of this as an incredibly transformative hack.

A single visit or even a walk-by can reveal a lot too. As I understand it, SSID probing basically reveals all the networks your device knows about to any AP [1]. This can give away a lot of information too. [1] http://blog.rootsh

Love seeing the reasoning behind the curtain of design. I like the idea of the Y-Meter, with the current system the points are somewhat meaningless unless compared against each other and the meter makes that a lot easier to visually parse.

Agree with the first two (haven't played the third). "Dear Esther", too. There is some fantastic stuff coming out of the indie scene. "Quiet Please" is a small fun indie Android title with a lot of the elements that

I don't think Ron was involved much on Broken Age. He's been working on his own games more recently, including The Cave (at DF) and Scurvy Scallywags (indie).

Yeah, he wasn't actually foolish enough to hand it to them right at the booth. He was taken aside for further questioning since he had already been in the US on a visa waiver within the same calendar year, which pattern-matched border

Oh gosh, great point. This video on not talking to the police totally changed my perspective on doing that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc

That's fair. Your original comment would have read better if you had mentioned any of this supporting evidence initially. I could have done the same homework myself, but I felt no need to. In my opinion her visa situation is her busine

Not necessarily, she could have been applying to extend a H1B visa and still have a valid one to travel under. I'm sure there are other cases too, e.g. I was travelling with H1B while my green card was processing (and had two separate

How do you know which visas she had, or if she was on a visitor visa? She doesn't mention the specifics in the article, nor does she say that she applied for a work visa and was denied. (She is still waiting for a decision on her curre

I've always had great, pleasant conversations with my CBP officers (is that the correct term?). I remember having a long chat with one of them (there was no line) about Google Books and how his wife loved ebooks. Another talked about h

The article does as well. In this case, I suppose the heart of the story is about how douchebaggy the guys are -- there seems to be no question that Wolfe deserves credit for what she's done, but since she declined to comment, we only

Is it? Legality aside, if you define the limits of unacceptable behaviour then you're also saying that anything outside that is acceptable. If you hire decent human beings, hopefully your team can use their judgement and empathy to tel

Hmm, I was expecting the end of the article to be an analysis of which investors are most active among ProductHunted-then-funded companies, not a list of the companies themselves. Unless I'm missing something, that's the most inte

I mean you have an (open) product, put it out there, advertise it however you want (personally or outsourced) and hope that those that experience it think its worth continued funding. It sounds so easy in theory, doesn't it? Getting

I have the same anecdotal evidence, but I started thinking about all SF's other industries, and the folks I see already at work when I walk my dog. According to http://www.bayareaeconomy.org/wp-content/uploads&#x2F
