I think instead of learning Flash you're better off learning something like Haxe, which originated from an AS2 compiler and is often used to port old Flash projects. A lot of people who used to use Flash to develop games just moved ont

Have? Did you mean Haxe?

I think what GP meant was that money, beyond a certain point , means little. Upto that point money does mean a lot, and anybody who denies that has never lived in poverty. What that specific point is, depends on who you're asking. If

Unpopular opinion but I think unproven unbacked anecdotes need to be punished, here and elsewhere. In my experience many of them could be easily debunked by someone with a deep understanding of the subject being talked about, but newcomers

Yes. I think the reason why most people browse HN is for those rare nuggets of knowledge that one can sometimes only find here. Sure, the general quality of discourse here is greater relative to the discussion found on Reddit/Twitter&#

This. If the personalities you mentioned didn't have the soft skills GP was talking about, you wouldn't even know of their existence. Sheer technical ability alone is not enough to be a great programmer. If you don't know how

This isn't about "sensitivity". This is about racism. Just because you had a bad experience with a few Indian developers doesn't mean that all of them are bad. And where did that 5% chance come from? Any kind of data to

I think you should rephrase your comment, your comment gives off the wrong impression in its current state.

I'm not saying Anki flashcards don't count as notes, but I think OP was referring to the kind of notes that would typically be created by software like Obsidian, OneNote, etc.

How big of un upgrade is it from 16 gigs to 32? I don't use Android Studio or any Jetbrains software but for me 4 GB isn't too low. In my eyes 16 GB is almost too much, so I get shocked when I hear of people using 32/64 GB.

Not OP but this is one of the best HN comments I've read. Thanks for posting it.

Also read Measurement, by the same author.

I've heard that NA is more welcoming of immigrants because as a country it relied more on immigrants' brain power and brain drain from other countries. What do you think of that statement?

My guess is that the company's aim is to improve short-term profitability with little regard for the future.

$18/month seems to be a tad too much. Maybe $20 would be a good one-time fee?

I hope not. Cloudflare seems to block users from Cuba and Iran.

Can somebody knowledgeable enough describe how neko or hashlink compare with wasm in this regard?

They embed other hosts, most of the websites usually use the same hosts but with different frontends slapped on top.

What did they say? I have a feeling it was something sexist based on the comment they replied to but I'm not sure.

Perhaps their comment didn't possess the greatest technical merit but there is no need to be rude like that.

It's an illustration that encourages straight-up incorrect financial ideas (like revenue = profit). This is basic stuff.

Ah, that must have been what I was confused about. Thanks for correcting.

Could you share some other "culture shocks" from game dev?

Somebody more knowledgeable than me can correct me, but iirc some of the earlier versions of Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 were incompatible with the latest version of Windows at the time that was unreleased at the time of the game's launch (

I know this isn't something the authors can fix just like that, but shipping and import duties mean that the hard cover book is about as expensive for me as the smartphone I'm writing this on ($96.32 for a Samsung Galacy M04 as co

It seems like the kind of thing the pseudo-intellectuals at HN/reddit/etc would lap up though so you can't say it's not working for the author.

I don't think so. I know everybody loves to say that IRC is better than [insert commercial chat application] but in this particular use case discord is superior to irc imo because of the voice/video chat features and greater conve
