I've looked into replacing windows but decided that that's going to be one of the things that I'll let professionals do. The ironic thing is that not only are the tradies expensive, but prices for renting specialty machines a

True. There is always the chance that you get lucky - case in point, Minecraft. If you read the old devlogs when Notch first started to develop the game, it's really interesting how quickly it started to generate genuine interest, if o

Don't write your own engine, unless you want to do that just for fun. But if you actually want to make a game, use one of the exiting engines. If you want to develop a game engine as a product to make money of, it's probably bette

HNers, what's your advice for a 50-year old IT professional who has worked in research for most of his life, but quit a couple of years ago? I'm very skilled but lack any relevant industry experience. Still, with getting older and

"No signup needed" is the way to go! As the world has moved to everything online, I've gotten sick and tired of having to create a new account for every single service I might want to use. At the same time, I hate the idea o
