I'm on call this Christmas :')

This rules!

Epic is still a heavy user of that language at the lower parts of its stack, but there are other, friendlier/more modern languages in pretty widespread use too. Depends on the team…

Ayyyy, my day job is on HN. The campus is indeed cool, and I like working here (though I haven't been here nearly as long as some people!) If anyone's interested in Epic and wants …

It seems that much like Aider, you use separate models for creating code edits and validating them. That's a win in my book. It seems Claude Code does not do that, which is part of…

That's sweet! I think LLMs have incredible potential for descriptions and for NPC behavior, and I really like that you have this bridge between freeform intent and a rules engine. …

I feel the same way about Tailspire as I feel about pretty much every other VTT. They might do okay, even pretty well, at combat maps and/or character sheets, but I want is the who…

That's really cool, Elias. I keep seeing people try to put LLMs into the role of the GM. But I think you're doing something new and important by working to have the rules available…

My master's thesis[1] was half research, half dev project, exploring how we can continue to fully fuse traditional RPGs with computers. This goal is my life quest, my life's work. …

You just got a signup :) Free plan, I'll admit. I don't need or want anything other than email notifications, and the free plan for that is very generous. Thanks for building this.…

Ahh, these are beautiful. Thanks 'merothwell for linking. I was in Monument Valley for the first time ever this year; if you like these photos, try and pay it a visit. You won't be…

VWWHFSfQ, you may already know this, but: I recommend this talk by Armin Ronacher (Flask creator) on how Python's implementation internals contribute to the difficulties of making …

Where can we find your MUD?

Thanks for the trivia! I love Frontalot, and this is probably my favorite song by him.

I want you to know this made me laugh very hard.

That concept of "strange consistency" reminds me of my experience writing Clojure, for some reason.

Forget FC '25: this is the football game I really want! Good stuff, solcloud. Keep following your heart.

I feel your pain. What a dumb system.

This is what all technical tutorials should look like. Well-composed and generally free of grammatical errors, spends just the right amount of time explaining each new topic as it …

I love the addition of the infinite domino machine that has nothing to do with ball transport.

I've made more than one friend on Hacker News, one of whom I've met in person. Encouraging that to happen, by way of an app, is a great idea. Every project has bugs at first, but I…
