So ... why exactly were the HN stories buried?

Different from what? What do you mean? I'm super confused. A couple hours ago the two top stories were about mark pilgrim having done what looked like an info suicide. I came back here to check on that and the stories are nowhere to be seen

I don't see where I said that I endorsed this state of affairs. I don't care so much if you in specific endorse it. i do care about how it's a line of thought that we hear more and more often. Also, I think you are the one spouting pure

And people will keep finding ways of financing their love (playing music). In fact, I don't know many of my favorite musicians today who make a living from their music. They all work day jobs. I think this new cultural line of thought of

My philosophy teacher was nice enough to allow me to doodle in her classes. She believed it was a positive thing. But - and I never told her - the doodling actually distracted me from the class. I was always lost when I emerged and tried to

Does it come down to the same conclusions?

The only way was to sneak it under a story about federal law. :) self-solving problems like split ends Could you explain that? I though split ends forced to cut one's long hair regularly.

Have you experimented 9 hours of sleep + nootropics?

I've been doing the same, it's been really helpful. My wife has been very patient with me through this. Any day I get up before I feel like I'm ready, my sharpness and work endurance is substantially worse.

thanks for taking the time to write this. it was quite an epic read, while listening to radiohead's 'everything in it's right place'. That deleted comment was mine. My intention was to trigger some argumentation, but then @feral wrote somet

Oddly enough it seems like C++ is the only language all three platforms support natively. Indeed. But it's also quite harder than those to develop in. I hate to keep on button-mashing, but it would be a big win to have a PlusPlusScript la

"Obviously it would have to come with some lower level semantics, like memory management." Why? Once again: this approach means zero dependencies. And in a way, you answered it yourself: Might not be fine for real time systems or games

The C++ code it generates depends on a Python runtime, doesn't it? That means you can't use it to write - for example - C++ libraries.

It's just not possible to get it via the means you've described. Why not? it might harder to implement than coffeescript, but ooc is proof that it's possible. Remove GC and dependent libs, and you still have a substancially higher level l

I often wonder why there is so little interest in a high level language that would compile to pure C++, with a syntax that makes code more succinct and friendlier, just like CoffeeScript compiles to JavaScript. We have a clear problem: high

Wow. I think you're painting a way overly negative picture. I'm not sure what your definition of success is (so Minecraft is not good enough for you?) but I know many - just look around - indie developers that are making a good living and g

How is it the lottery of indie games? All the games sold on HIB - that I've played - are good, original, well polished games. Some, I believe, are some of the best games ever made, indie or non indie. It wasn't luck that put them in the HIB

Yes. If this is what Daring Fireball was like [1], then it's better off today. That said, I feel like John Gruber used to be more of a curator that showed cool projects and things, and less of a market share analyst. I kinda miss that. Anyw

Lots of good comments I think, but before considering all those options, I think the first thing you should try is to push yourself in the "zone" [1]. To me entering the zone can be hard sometimes - my brain is inventing all sorts of dist

yes, id software is notorious for open sourcing all their games a while after release. John Carmack took a few months break from Rage development to work on these (at least on Wolfenstein, not sure about Doom) [1], so there will definitely

This is an such an awesome initiative. But it could do with more games. I'm surprised that none of the open source Quake engines are in there.

Inline conditionals on the left and the function keyword? From all the features that CoffeeScript offers it's kinda odd to focus on those minor details of taste and habit.

Is there any iPhone code scanner that shows the result in an overlay on the camera feed, instead of screen jumping the second it detects something? The latter behavior is obnoxious when playing with QR codes.
