I'd add that as with any "advice" articles, it's worth being mindful that one size does not fit all. They should be taken only as advice, no matter how assertively stated.

Thanks! It's a very fun game; it really gets me hooked in terms of difficulty around level 12-14.

Question: how essential do you think it was for you to quit your job to create this game? How much longer would it have taken you had you developed it on the side/weekends? I'm in no way trying to argue your decision, I'm genuinely curious

I'd agree, except that it is a privately-funded expedition with "very little government involvement". I can't complain that someone in the private sector is pushing exploration of space further (even if the exploration part is limited), wit

Originally it was ""if you have block of code in more than two places ", tinco removed that from their reply. I believe that inclusion solves the issue you've described. Obviously you don't need every 5 lines of code encapsulated into a me

I would say both that how "ability" is measured, as well as that a 5-year-old's ability is nowhere near an indicator of their future ability. I doubt anyone could argue against things like AP classes, etc. in high school, but 5-year-olds?

Correct. If I'm understanding you, I'd summarize the distinction as follows: Google should be used as a reference . It should not be used in place of educated judgement. This goes along with the ideology that you should not trouble yoursel

The best trick I learned while skiing is to do large arm circles when your fingers start getting cold. This forces blood back to your fingertips and instantly warms them back up. Or, as you suggested, mittens.

This reminds me of the submission to HN of analysis of knots used to tie cabling on the Curiosity rover. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4472312 One of these days... my home theatre...

It appeases the throngs of slacktivists that run amok on the Internet, primarily. As has been stated elsewhere, the only real effect this can have is if it gains media traction. Which, given than there are celebrities and murders to report

I'm wondering along the same lines, at what speed does the car decide to deploy airbags, and at what speed to automatically brake? And how hard is the braking? I'd imagine it would be pretty hard braking to prevent the car from hitting some

by prawks 14y ago
Meh, I was thinking more of the latter. First generation sensors I'd imagine would be more prone to erroneous readings, including false positives. Randomly having the car force you to a stop in traffic could be a little annoying.

Once a pedestrian steps in front of the vehicle, the car’s brakes apply automatically if the driver doesn’t react fast enough. If the sensors detect an imminent collision with a pedestrian while driving at high speed, the airbag pops-up an

Correct, I mis-typed. Also, the more room there is in the tank, the more room there is for water vapor in the air filling the rest of the tank to collect. This can cause rust.

As someone who had an 80's diesel car as his first, I can verify that even leaving them in a high school parking lot during a cold winter school day in Maine is a bad idea. I had to wait about a week for the weather to warm up before the gl
