    Did you want the MS job? I mean, I could figure out how to make things overlap without repainting, and I'm a 4-year-old child.

    Why would you need a B-tree when you only append to the end of the logs?

    Yeah, but the abstractions have a penalty on your mind.

    I was saying that the bacterium is -larger- than the ovum. By a factor of 6.

    I think she meant that a lot of hemming and hawing in the conversation is really maddening to someone who can feel something negative is coming. The fact that it's said is the impo…

    That largest bacterium's size is incorrect. It shows a chain of them as 750um, but in reality just one can become that large. In the picture, they look as big as a human ovum at 12…

    Eyes feel blurry after playing this game. Uncomfortable. Want to go to bed.

    Yes, you can still learn when you're older. Especially if you have an inquisitive mind like most hackers. The brain doesn't "solidify" completely as you age, it just solidifies the…

    That drawing is realistic yet creepy. I like it. The shading is perfect, yet incomplete. Sort of an uncanny valley type thing, gives you a sense of unease.

    Nope, anything you use a lot loses its punch. (That's the idea behind the article)

    Hey. Dude. This game is awesome.

    You can't really play it for free. That's the thing. It's basically unplayable without payments. Why people don't just avoid it, though, that's beyond me.

    These tiny sentences (in your version, and in Hemingway's stories) remind me of little children's books (and the alt-comedy storyline from the Martian steampunk shoot-'em-up Jamest…

    I am being judgmental - I'm suggesting he is wrong. It's just that in this case, he is judging a lot of others harshly, and I'm judging him for that. We at HN are probably not the …

    Reminds me of something I noticed in comics - you never put a period at the end of a speech bubble, but you can (and must, if applicable) put a question mark or an exclamation mark…

    I have to agree with vdianuk (or whatever) here. You may not think you're being judgmental by applying criteria to others' grammar, but you are. You aren't writing a book; you're t…

    This is pretty cool! I see you've written a JS game lib called Ω, but I can't find any more info about it. Is it not public yet? You seemed to have solved the problem of using soun…

    Very true. Also, it's SNES games. Not NES games.

    That is nothing at all like happiness. Are you one of those people without emotions? It's OK, I was too for a long time. It happens a lot to people in tech, or people who end up in…
