BanzaiTokyoon Show HN: Firmament is the Limit – a one-button iPhone flight game

Hi HN, the developer here. I am quite proud of what I made. And I still say I made even though the heavy lifting was done with codex. The incredible part that AI can now do not only the code but also visuals, interfaces and music. So what I did? I did the game design and tuning as well as art direction. I think I did a good job :D

BanzaiTokyoon Developers who use spaces make more money than those who use tabs

that would be the most logical explanation, but the article mentions that "The effect is smaller in Europe and especially large in India, but it does appear within each country, suggesting this isn’t the sole confounding factor." Which makes me think that there are other factors at play that add up.

"No" what? Could you explain what do you mean by that. Just to be clear, I didn't make any statements about control.

borderline industries such as drug and gun production are heavily licensed and controlled by the state. I believe this case should fall into a similar category.

BanzaiTokyoon Understanding Aesthetics with Deep Learning

I believe that there are factors that go beyond visible composition. Just a though experiment, I imagine that the brain would evaluate easthetics of two similar images differently depending on whether it is an image of an object it recognizes or not - when evaluating the image with an object other qualities of the object (that are not necessarily visible in the image) will be taken into account.

I just wanted to share that for a French speaker (not even for a native French speaker) the phrase "mise en abyme" is very familiar. So there is nothing about me personally not liking the article.

BanzaiTokyoon Mise en abyme

French is not my native language, however the wikipedia link adds absolutely nothing to what I already knew. And don't get me wrong, I don't claim to "have total understanding of a concept".

To see what I am talking about, imagine instead of the link this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion

For a French person, it is very difficult to see the value of the link here.
