I wonder if one could construct a metric for how 'interesting' a drawing is- then throw it at a genetic algorithm? I'm guessing most likely the system is inherently unstable, so tw…

Would be great to see some articles on their technical approach, I assume they have used techniques to reach those scales based upon the fact the average pair of players are too fa…

Maybe it's my experience of living in central London but I can certainly think of many 'demographics' that would be interested in soundproof bedrooms on the street...

Nice to see PCA in an HN article, it's a very powerful tool. For those struggling to get the example in this article, I find PCA easier to understand given visual examples, and in …

I think it depends on the genre at hand. Massive AAA singleplayer titles that tend towards being more ‘interactive cinematic experiences’ would suffer from this certainly, but I’m …

Surely censoring the functionality is completely impossible, due to the dynamic nature of JS? alert("blah") can just as easily be made to be window["alert"]("blah"), where the stri…

Static typing is nice, but does this support type inference?

Some keyboard shortcuts would be fantastic (Especially delete!)

I would think the average person isn't lucky enough have an inventory of multiple thousand dollars of high-end computing equipment. This kind of system would be perfect in developi…

At first I was wondering about the benefits of using such a system vs. something like deploying the raspberry pi en masse (which is a full system for under $50), but after some tho…

Great project, although it might have been a good idea for them to check out using the Microsoft Kinect and Point Cloud Library (It's like OpenCV for depth cameras! http://pointclo…

This is definitely true, the tech Bloomberg uses was novel in the 80s, but the functionality of a modern browser now outstrips that of the terminal program. There's actually some f…

As far as I'm aware anecdotally (I interned at Bloomberg last summer) Mike was in a position that required managing technology in his previous financial job before starting Bloombe…

It's Mono running on top of Unity's own graphics/control/audio abstraction

I'd definitely recommend Unity3D for this. It provides (as far as it can) platform-agnostic abstractions for controls, graphics and audio, although if you want to get down-and-dirt…

Unity 3.5 now has flash export, so I think even Linux is now supported?

Good luck! I produced an iPhone game in 5 days, but I was using the Unity3D engine which really allows for abstraction from the nitty-gritty low-level iOS programming. I definitely…

Around $350/month $100-$200 a month selling virtual weapons in SecondLife (Used to be around $800 a month a few years ago) $200 a month with my two iOS apps developed using Unity3D…
