Yea, I was kind of surprised when he said college students shouldn't start startups. This could be partially because 10 years ago, PG thought startups were undervalued in society a…

What a great analysis. I'd like to see stuff like this on other games : what about shooters with instant-hit and slow physics where the player is still definitely NOT a tank (2-3 b…

Getting indie developers on board with Linux shouldn't be hard in the coming future. Linux is rapidly growing and is started to be seen by the public eye as an OS some people would…

Oh my God I thought these bullshit cries of doom stopped. It's such a simple matter of business. If Oculus did that, no one would by a Rift. That would be bad for Oculus, Facebook,…

This with the Oculus Rift combined is going to make for some seriously awesome "tourism demos". Someone has to make a Bebop-as-a-service thing where you have warehouses full of Beb…

I didn't quite catch the joke.

Sounds pretty stupid. Benefit gained from cancer cure is far higher than detriment from some idiotic comments online an a semi-spammy marketing campaign that was swiftly punished. …

If you're afraid of looking silly to the company, just remember that everyone will be having that fear if their digital profile is requested. Relatively, your value doesn't change.…

Really ? Can you show me any statistical data for that? Or just anecdotal stuff? Because trust me, there's probably 10x as much anecdotal evidence for companies with large amounts …

It's very possible to improve your skills on the side for a much, much better junior position. Resume padding and climbing the corporate ladder is not as effective as it used to be…

Yes, but factor in all the activity and opportunities and life of the city, and it's worth moving there. Besides, it's not really higher cost if the wage of the industry you're wor…

Glad to see you're the leading authority on this matter. Tell me, from whence did you judge that Snapchat is "ephemeral"? How did you manage to outplay the dozens of very smart, ve…

Stuff like "next song", "accept call", etc. can be done with extensive knowledge in machine learning and some clever work. The really tough bits will be stuff like, "Siri, check if…

For women that chase rich men (not saying all women do this, but the existent and very small subset of women that do), it's often not because of the success implied. It's because o…

You really never did anything worth caring about in high school, academically, at least. Math was a series of formulas to memorize and various sequential combinations of said formu…

Really interesting program, although, as Andrew has said, seems kinda limited. That's not your fault at all; any early project will seem limited in scope. Given some popularity and…

The same way inaccuracies about tech in movies irritate people like Jeremy, the fact that people like Jeremy even care in the first place irritates me. I know he admitted to it bei…

Autocars are going to be held to a much higher standard because they should be held to a higher standard. On one end, autocars will be held to a higher standard because of cultural…

Yes, the car is the same size. But the bottleneck -- the crucial part -- here is not the size of the car; rather the length of the maximum distance that the car can be parked away …

If you want, you can run some wget magic to get the whole book's html files (and used css/js files) on your hard drive . wget -r gameprogrammingpatterns.com

Pretty insignificant. You can't spend that money. No one can. ; YC, financially, is enough money for you to live in the Bay Area to work on your company for a fixed time in which y…

This fucking sucks, man. Tom's always seemed like an awesome guy. As always, absolutely overblown PR messes like this are a result of faulty communication. Without proper context o…

My favorite part about 1.0 is Gradle. No more Eclipse! Time to start writing my games in Emacs, maybe even Sublime Text ... Great fucking work, guys! Congratulations.
