First thought, yet another editor attempt, not even very far come yet, and it's OSX only. Rather nice font in the screenshots though. Then > The main author is Raph Levien. Oh. Now I see why this is on hacker news. Now I'm in

> Windsor’s lifestyle was not only self-destructive and devastating to his family, it was also costly to Canada’s taxpayers. A trip to the hospital cost $243 for the ambulance, and $250 for a doctor’s assessment. Going to the police stat

Not so much maintenance as capital costs, I think. Giant cargo vessels can't be replaced as often as trucks either. But drone ships are certainly coming, it's a very trendy topic in the trade publications. I'd give it 10 year

Which ones have you tried? I have only tried SpaceChem, but it's certainly different enough from work! TIS-100 sounds more like one of the old ICFP programming competitions - 2006 and 2007 in particular, both were about reverse enginee

Already, it's not nearly as hard as this demo makes it look. There's one recent advance in particular that isn't in this demo, and that is Batch Normalization. If you've played around with it a bit, I'm sure you hav
