I believe the original author of most of this content was Brian Walker, creator of brogue, which uses Dijkstra maps to great effect. In my opinion, brogue is the greatest 'modern' …

This is really cool! I have been adjusting to life without Bloomberg recently. Does anyone know of something similar to this for rates, credit, or the ABS space?

Hi! Off topic but I love love love Neptune's Pride. :)

I remember hearing about this on the podcast roguelike radio a long time ago - truly a brilliant little hack. Here's the link for anyone interested: http://www.roguelikeradio.com/2…

Thanks for posting this - some great memories and great links here. I'll jump on the bandwagon since I don't see any MUSHes mentioned here yet. MUSH was MUD-based, but built around…

Hah. So many great memories of MUSHclient. For a long time it was the first thing I installed on any new machine. Eventually moved to tinyfugue on a remote shell (so I could be "al…

Just curious what the general consensus of 1Password is here on HN? I am especially interested to hear from people that are actually using/paying for the cloud hosting (their serve…

Excellent list. There's a very big and important difference between "random" and "procedurally generated". Most great roguelikes (or roguelike-likes?) have strong procedural elemen…

One of the best replies I've ever read on HN. :) I think you nailed it.

I have an elderly family member with this exact problem. Even with constant reminding, it is an uphill battle. I suspect it is a combination of addiction but also "dark patterns" t…
