I came here to say something like this. I think that sometimes, the fact that the medium you are using is not perfect/too realistic makes your imagination do a lot of the work, and that makes it easier to be immersed in the experience you a

Yeah, I understand that. I actually think is important to find what bothers us despite our "blessings" and try to make it better, we'd be stuck in the past if we didn't. I just found "slavery" a strong word, and that a little perspective on

Have you read anything at all about slavery? Compared to that, being a citizen with rights as well as obligations is a huge blessing.

I think this kind of technology is already being placed inside cars themselves. And the QR code is probably harder to scan while moving than recognising the speed limit plate itself.

I have no idea, I just remember it from the stream from notch. I also experimented a bit with something similar for python. You can find it here: http://www.krause-software.com/hotswap/ I think it worked so well for notch because the code

What notch used is a step further. From what I get this page simply "refreshes" the code and starts the execution anew. Notch is actually hot-swapping code, for example the code in the update function of the game, leaving the game state in

What about using infra-red lights to "blind" cameras? On a collar or something.

I always feel that way when I try a light theme, but I wonder if it is a matter of habit. For example, when I work with eclipse for a long time, I tend to forget that I'm using a light theme.

I like this theme, and used it for a while but I find myself going back for monokai. A little off-topic: What do HN people prefer, light or dark themes?

by phn 14y ago
Yup. My only concern is more in the lines of "what if they close?". I hope they have great success so I can keep my games forever :P

I don't know where this is from. But in Portugal, I really feel blessed by the MBNet service that exists here. Basically you tie it to any card (credit/debit) and generate temporary credit card numbers with a hard value limit defined at the

I find it interesting that a lot of these titles had their linux ports released on the Humble Bundle. Pretty cool!

That's why you'll have the keyboard smart cover, and possibly USB :P I think no-one expects you to use visual studio/word/whatever in touch mode, unless you're in a really tight bind.

Don't you think it is the developer's responsibility to provide a demo/trial if they wish?
255.
by phn 14y ago
I think the humble tip has been part of the humble bundle ever since the beginning. Not sure if they always named it that way though.

Haxe is nice, but it is still not as transparent as one could hope. The differences in the way its various targets work make this understandable. Still, it still isn't "code once, run everywhere". The main problem seems to be flash is reall

I'm not sure about that. Developers tend to be more sensible about paying for software. Regular people will just download it without reading the "yada yada" stuff about paying. Case in point: WinRAR, anyone? EDIT: Just to clarify, I like th

I know it's a little off-topic. But that camera looks a lot like GLaDOS from Portal, looking right at me.

Can't this be seen the other way around? If a computer can last long, it is very useful to repair it / replace broker parts. If technology advances in such a way that new software needs a new computer, then it makes sense to buy a new compu

I think that's both the biggest virtue, but at the same time what disappointed me the most. It's great because it can reach a broad audience. On the other hand I guess I was expecting a more gamedev thing. All in all I think it is a great m

The thing is, the ethernet port is too thick. At least on the air it would be impossible, I think the same thing happens here.

I think valve's core games on linux will be there at the same time the linux steam client arrives to give it that push. It was that way with the mac. However, I think there will still be some time before we start seeing the majority of game

Is this really that common? Even yesterday I was talking to some friends about this, are people really more agressive towards "smarter" people just because they feel threatened? I try to be the most open I can and learn the most from people

Have you introduced him to tools like game maker, construct, stencyl, etc. ? Maybe he can do some simple things and then learn some code...

Well, a computer itself is an hacking tool, no?

Well, the first guy is submitting a patch to the linux kernel source that would make program binaries (executable files, sort of) compiled for an older version of the kernel break. This same guy looks like he is about to argue that it is no
