I'm curious if it's reasonable to push more processing to the browsers to save on server costs. I know multiplayer games generally need a server to "referee" (and to matchmake) but I wonder if games ever offload most of

Skip picking a name, just jump in. If they want a name, that's when they register an account. A recent web game on HN ("Pounce") did the first part well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31073332 Also I

On a high-gravity world with a thin atmosphere it'd be harder to float, fly, or orbit. So high-speed rail and automobiles would be the pinnacle of land transportation with ships being the only way to cross the oceans separating contine

Am I understanding correctly that everyone with read access to your version control also has your production secrets?

Love how much expertise there is here; thanks for adding yours! When you say "metal bladder/diaphragm" is that a sliding wall with propellant on one side and pressurant on the other? (I can't imagine how the seals in tha

There are very few games that use a CLI as the primary user interaction. Duskers (2016) is one such game: you type commands into a terminal to direct dog-sized rovers as they explore derelict spaceships. It might be unique among CLI games i

The lying part is secondary—no maliciousness is the important part. Maybe what you really want is a “Good” ruler; philosophy and ethics have been wrestling with how to define that for thousands of years. I’d be shocked if such a ruler wou

Lots of fun! Pacifist run: https://pounce.sh/?replay=2480610918 If it could have multiple players (even teams!) and a "spectate after death" mode, I could see this being a remote game night staple like generals.io

That's unfortunately common and would explain ghosting on next steps but doesn't explain bailing on interviews that are already scheduled.

Sorry, that's not normal. The only thing I can think of is they're finding something during last-minute research that makes you untouchable. Maybe a really damning search result? If you have any friendly contacts at those companie

Those are all perfectly rational actions if you use a sufficiently nuanced utility function. It shouldn't surprise that modeling humans as "maximizes dollars" is overly simple.

IIRC, Liberty ships were of fairly poor quality due to their rushed construction and welding vs riveting, but that they only had to complete a single Atlantic cargo crossing to be worth the construction cost. Sounds a bit like fast fashion
