This is the idea behind a site I've always wanted to create: The A.R.K. Project (Apocalypse Reboot Kit) The basic idea is to categorize different apocalyptic scenarios (zombies, ww3, comet, biohazard wipe-out, etc) and develop 'ki

I'm not so sure about that. My highest scoring comment was a piece of humor. I think, like with all the comments on HN, people want something which is well thought out.

I don't know, if you're opposed to the ideas presented here, play dwarf fortress.

You make a very good point. But I would rather have a business model in place which means that if things overload, so does my bank account. I wish more startups would start up with this premise in mind, as at the moment I'm looking for

Heroku has a free tier, Amazon has a 'first year free' tier for a lot of their products these 2 I'm using at the moment. No idea about MongoHQ. I think the free stuff is basically for making and running an MVP, not for runnin

I was just happy that it loaded quickly and with no problems. I'm on an iPad 1, and more and more sites nowadays either take forever to load, or flat out crash iOS safari.

Good write up. I actually would like to be more involved with what you're doing. Please contact me - email in profile or just my username at gmail.

I really wish we could shine a bright light on all the dodgy stuff banks do.

I don't think that is shady. Just means they don't have to pay him to show him (or his friends) the pictures on the service.

Hey David, I'm the head teacher of a language school in the Czech Republic (US ex-pat) and I'm currently evaluating digital language learning products to bundle with our face to face courses. Yours sounds interesting, shoot me an

I am "self-taught". Started in 1981 when I was 10 years old and my mother bought me a sinclair zx81 instead of the Atari 2600 I wanted for Christmas. It came with a bunch of games in the form of 3 books. After my initial shock and

I thought that ts was going to be a security feature in that I have a piece of software on my computer which I use to challenge a site to make sure that it is what it says it is, or that the customer service rep I'm talking to is a hum

Yes, it can be seen as nit-picky, but I don't think the person is pretending the connotation doesn't exist. Maybe they're just trying to start the long process of de-teething that connotation so that in maybe 50 years saying

Ok, you all misunderstood what I was trying to say, which means I said it badly. What I was hinting at is that though the mouse is currently the best form of input for a lot of games (ANSI the reason why I don't have a console, I don&#

? > mouse. Do you really think that the mouse which was invented in the 60s (mother of all demos) is the pinnacle of technology regarding input? It is for now (I do agree with your premise for my own personal reasons) but such a bold exp

This is actually a very interesting observation. Especially as they are making the controller quite open. I don't see the AAA titles working with this soon, as they want to keep their games consistent across platforms, but steam has re

I did comment to say that it works well on iPad, but I would like to add that there are some interesting 'features' when using 2 fingers: they don't work at the same time,but on one board, it's almost like an etchasketch

Worked nicely and snappily on an iPad 1 iOS 5. (added snark: how can this work so nicely and bloody OnSwipe and certain websites crash my browser instantly?)

Bingo. A surprising number of modern web problems can be solved via static pages - speed, usability, scalability etc. I remember finally turning down one project after failing to convince the small businessman that his site didn't nee

I never cease to be amazed that the more things change, the more they stay the same. If you removed the dates from this story, you'd be hard pressed to fix when this happened. (Except the static HTML idea is a bit of a give away, no we

Do they mean 'Why we hate infographics in presentations?' I find a good infographic is great for syntopical study. As they say, a simple chart is good for a single point. But what if I want to look at the relationships between t

It may take a while, but have you thought about starting one yourself like lobste.rs did? I think the code for HN is available somewhere(an older version at least) then just troll the gamer sites and give invites to those who contribute wel

Honestly, at first this headline made me laugh out loud. Then I chuckled again thinking 'Has MS's PR department completely lost the plot re what is happening nowadays vis a vis the NSA?' Finally I actually feel a little sad.

Thanks. You have now given me a great idea of what to make for my son who is 19 months old. I might even have it ready for when he's 5.

I wonderif it would be possible to somehow get all of the indicators working too? Perhaps something like a RasberryPi that grabs info from the game and feeds it to the altimeter, pitch/yaw indicator and so on. Shame games don't co

Thanks for that. For anyone else trying to add grunt, you need to copy over the gruntfile.js and add the grunt dependencies to the dev section of package.json in the root directory of the project. Then you might also have to remove and rein
