aravind_bon Show HN: Clojure Redis pubsub client with keep-alive heart beats

Thanks! If you are referring to the # in this area of the code - https://github.com/aravindbaskaran/redis-pubsub/blob/master/... - then that refers to a Clojure macros autogensym for symbols created within the macro. If the # is removed, the symbol is resolved from the top namespace where the macro expands. If you are up for some more reading on the weird symbols of Clojure, I have it here - https://hackernoon.com/clojure-macros-lessons-from-unspoken-...

aravind_bon You know it's already too late...

It's times like these when you feel like going - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s. All the countless seconds, numerous hours, practically aeons of time wasted on this. Damn.

aravind_bon Show HN: I've been making one HTML5 game per week. Here's my 10th game

A Hack to jump farther and higher in Game#10!!

Try this,

1. open Game#10 in chrome

2. Open the web inspector

3. Go to profiles, choose Record Heap Allocations, and start

4. Now try playing the game. You should be able to jump farther and higher. In some levels, even overcome multiple climbs in a single shot than otherwise

Also notice kind of slowdown overall. But not necessarily a drag since all the key events are still taken in seemingly the same speed

So why is this? Or is it another Chrome one-off?
