That's the version from 20 years ago. Those people have grown up and become school administrators, so it doesn't work as well anymore. The new plan is to release pigs numbered 1,2,…

This is why the desire for Strong AI boggles my mind. In order for a computer to operate at a "human" level, it would need to make decisions based on things like ambition and fear …

> But does altering a game so that a child doesn't have to see the optimal moves from someone else do anything positive for anyone playing the game? It didn't, it was a bandage to …

Speaking as someone who was bad at monopoly as a kid, those cash injections helped make the game feel more "fair". The vanilla rules make it really hard for a newbie to win against…

I've never heard anybody mention Angular and Web Components as solving the same problem. I'm pretty fuzzy on front end MVC stuff in general, but I know almost nothing about Web Com…

Hacking scoreboards is pretty easy for people who are skilled at reverse engineering. Once one of these people figures out how to do it (usually by mocking up the high score messag…

While I definitely think everyone should learn C in college, I don't think it should be a first language. I'm currently teaching it in high school, and the amount of pain that goes…

Just from this comment, it seems like you guys have a pretty interesting problem domain. I'm going to take a look at the VLC repo and see if there's anything I can contribute, than…

It's a fun idea, but why is it $20/month? I feel like I could throw this together for free. Am I missing something?

Jinja2, ERB, Haml, Jade, etc. Any system where the thing you're editing could not be immediately served as an HTML file.

While I'm sure this does indicate that the Rust guys are pretty industrious, I feel like judging a project by how many issues it's closed is like judging it by how many lines of co…

Given the timeframe I'd call it the video game equivalent of Jay Electronica's album Act II.

I don't really see the problem with this. A lot of the languages you mention have been slowly and sustainably building support, even when they aren't on the front page of HN.

Any idea if there's a plugin for evaling pre-processed languages like Haml, Sass or CoffeeScript? And is there a good place to find a list of plugins? I've tried googling for them …

I played Man vs Penguins and thought "Ha, nice, a super mario clone. They're practicing JS skills and the music is fun." Then I played Fill the Holes. Man. The mechanics and puzzle…

I thought the same for a moment, until I realized I was basically watching a kids show. The colors, the enthusiasm, the fast cuts, this video was made by someone who knows how to g…

While I don't need videos in order to learn, I find that seeing concepts represented visually while hearing them described by someone often works better than simply reading them. I…

Having finally finished my first read of LYAH (It took me months of reading, practicing and taking breaks to let it all sink in), I can only see one way to improve upon it: Make a …

The issue I have with the hypothetical is: how would they know about the phone calls without a wiretap? If there was no other reason to suspect the guy, they'd have no basis for pr…

While Thailand's family planning initiatives may have been inspired by similar programs in other countries, the people who spearheaded the movement were Thai. I don't normally like…

For anyone who's into this kind of stuff, the International Dialects of English Archive[1] is an awesome resource. I've used it a lot to practice accents for acting roles. [1] http…

TL;DR - It's an IDE with support for live coding. It's built with ClojureScript and has a number of unusual good properties. However, you really need to see the video to understand…

This was my biggest issue getting started as well. The new tutorial and documentation is awesome, thanks!
