   Glad to see this on the top of HN! I saw you launch the Kickstarter campaign on Twitter the other day and was instantly blown away by the detail in the engine. Looking forward to watching this progress.

   By the same token, don't worry too much about writing "maintainable" code before you actually start solving the problem at hand.

   Are there any long-range plane/quadcopter hybrids for consumers? Seems like it should be possible to get the best of both worlds

   Try http://webflow.com - it hits the sweet spot of "sensible defaults" while still giving you enough control. I recently built a launch page with it ( http://gitsub.io ). I'm used to doing sites "fr

   I like to think the merit of an idea comes from the quality of its contents, not the stamp on the envelope.

   Here's a trick that has sometimes helped pull me out of ruts: Once a day, find three new things to be grateful for or about. These things don't need to be anything monumental -- the idea is to force yourself to search . I'

    Full disclosure: I built GitSub. I had the idea about a year ago, tabled it lacking any examples of it in the wild. Hard to tell if it was a chicken or the egg problem. Fast forward a few months, and Epic Games releases the source code to U

    Blueprint follows a pretty strict procedural design, but it executes it quite well. It's easy to imagine Blueprint's design used essentially to write something like vanilla C (without support for preprocessor). I don't see ho

    I wouldn't really call it "high level" -- it appears to me to interface pretty directly with underlying C++ classes and methods, and the actual flow of the code is exactly a sort of single-threaded flow of "ordinary&quot

    Have you tried Unreal Engine 4's Blueprint [1]? It's probably the first visual programming that "made sense" to me. Its use is limited to UE4 games, of course, but I think its design would be suitable for more general u

    Just give me a standalone, turn-key GPS app that lets me keep my eyes on the road. I don't want phonecalls or texts interrupting my driving.

    Perhaps this "works" because all the pagerank stuff has been altered by all the sudden traffic related to hostgator coupons.

    Brings me back to a ray casting experiment I did a while ago [1]. I always wanted to revisit it to include a terrain generation step (it uses a pregenerated height map). Now I have an excuse! ;) [1] http://namuol.github.io/e
