    I ran an experiment to see how far it could get with a top-down 2d game, like a more challenging version of "draw a pelican." I'm waiting on Fable to rewrite the whole thing now, b…

    Show HN: Built a browser game inspired by Rust

    Wanted to see how far I could get with Opus 4.8 and was impressed. Got tripped up in a few places with AI game behavior, but eventually got it to a good spot.

    Yep that’s right. First sentence was poorly worded, but I was trying to figure out why moving to Austin made me feel nostalgia, turns out it was the Cumulus clouds. Both Austin and…

    When I moved from the Bay Area to Austin, the first thing I realized: I missed seeing Cumulus clouds, which I saw a lot growing up in the midwest. Bay Area either has blue skies or…

    Thanks for sharing this. Going to try it out on a game inspired by Rust. It's helpful re: the point on rodney - I've had a hard time getting the testing to work well in the browser…

    Wow, that's impressive. Had fun playing it for 10 minutes locally. Found myself wanting to discover an enemy base :)

    This comment should be higher given how much FUD is in these comments. Hacker News having a meltdown about a bunch of backoffice folks getting laid off while they’re still aggressi…

    I remember my first few weeks of Claude Code. The high will wear off as you bump into the limitations, and then it starts to feel like you're more of a "manager of a junior-ish dev…

    Fair enough, I tend to avoid overly negative people. Criticism can come from a good place to suggest improvements (radical candor), but agreed that some of the comments are just pe…

    Nice, nothing like a little personal bias to inject into an interview process. If you can't handle criticism and you're just looking for sycophants, you're probably not the type of…

    The origin story of Rust is classic: they got tired of Day Z and wanted to make it better, so they hired some random contractor to copy Day Z with elements of Fortnite and Minecraf…

    Rust has so many compelling features as a game. It was the first game where I felt like I thought about it while I wasn't playing it, because your character remains "in the game" a…

    Not to mention how much worse it is on mobile. Every web site asks me to accept their cookies, close layers of ads with tiny buttons, and loads slowly with ads spread throughout th…

    You’re referencing an old and outdated technology that has no capability to handle things like revenue and attribution. New protocols will need to evolve to the current use. Owners…

    Cloudflare is a gatekeeper because they’re trying to insert themselves between the owner and the end-user. Despite all the altruistic signaling, they really just want to capitalize…

    I pretty much use Perplexity exclusively at this point, instead of Google. I'd rather just get my questions answered than navigate all of the ads and slowness that Google provides.…

    I didn’t realize screenshots worked until a few days in, that was a great discovery. And recently learned you can directly paste in copied screenshots using ctrl+v (instead of cmd+…

    I've thought about this lately. In order to do that, you need to know where people typically stumble, and then create a rubric around that. Here are some things I'd look for: - Abi…

    I only use 2 MCP servers, and those are context7 and perplexity. For things like updated docs, I have it ask context7. For the more difficult technical tasks where I think it's goi…
