How high does this thing go? I read the article but as far as I can tell, it was never mentioned.

We should talk. The architecture is abstracted to make it easy to add any turn-based game onto it. Or at least that's the hope :). I'll send you an email.

My experience with (2) larger companies, and confirmed from conversations with friends, is that while you tend to have more support, you are often placed on individual siloed teams where you stay for years. I think the key benefit of smalle

I think the part about the budget was accurate but it might have also just been difficult to attract top talent without the name recognition. I have my opinions which I will not share for why Hipmunk stagnated but I will say, it had nothing

I worked for Hipmunk for a little over two years before they were purchased and have some fond memories of my time there. There have been a lot of articles on HN lately suggesting that it is better to work for a large company over a startup

A company I am affiliated with made a decision to rewrite their code in microservices-oriented architecture thinking it would only take one year. Now we're 7 years into the transition and starting to come up against some hard deadlines

A number of the comments so far have been attacking Solein with something along the lines of “why not just eat plants”. In my mind, I see two distinct advantages of this approach as a component of altering the food production system to redu

So it sounds like Libra coins will be minted at a previously agreed-upon exchange rate by one of the consortium companies proving that they have bought one of these low-volatility financial assets. It does not sound like there will be any &

I've been a developer for almost 10 years and during that time, have been involved in small rewrites and major rewrites. None of them have gone well and there wasn't a single one that we didn't regret starting on. What you th

This. I am surprised to see hacker news jump on this as proof that advertising causes reduced happiness when this article can only conclude that they are correlated. The common statistical maxim is that correlation does not imply causation.

This sounds like an interesting project for YC research. Many of these questions are very open-ended and it will be exciting to see what comes out of it. However, one question in particular upset me as a Bay Area resident: How can we make a

While I find UBI to be a fascinating idea worthy of consideration, I vehemently disagree with running this experiment in East Africa. The proposal seems to either be blind-to or minimizing the potential for unintended consequences. Decades

There is no such thing as naturally strong... there might be some genetics in how quickly you can gain muscle strength but no one is born strong. To think of it conversely, if a limb becomes paralyzed, that limb will undergo extreme muscle

I was inspired to write a small bash script to let you know which ip exactly to go to. It is hackish due to my limited knowledge of sed but it works on my Mac at least #!/bin/bash ip=`ifconfig -r en0 inet | sed -E '/en0/d;s/inet[ \t](

Really interesting read. That is the first time in a while I have read something that long on the internet without skimming. A couple of thoughts: You mentioned that your last close friend was when you were 12 and that you were in a distanc
