Ah I see, never thought about hiring people. I ask because I'm working on an idea too (just released beta), but doing all the work myself after my full time job. I guess doing it full time would be best case scenario, but then again getting involved with investors can be a huge pain ( used to work at a startup, it did not end well ).

I don't fully understand the business side of startups, legitimate question: When does a startup need funding? If you build an app and release it...shouldn't you somehow receive money from it (ads or whatever)? Do you need the money for advertising? Or?

"Or improving my typing."

Switch to Dvorak, put my WPM from 80 - 100. Super frustrating at first, but worth it I think.

Great, more potential developers the better. Give me Dennou Coil! xD

Wow, they're making it waay to easy haha ... must ... resist. -_-

Heh, interesting. Is the knock detected by mic or gyro?

I'm a programmer in Japan. And there are so many dev jobs here it's ridiculous... IF you can speak Japanese.

That's why I kept my Dreamcast and bought a Saturn a couple years ago. Still waiting for Dreamcast 2...any day now.

Thought it was a goat simulator rip off first haha. This looks awesome though.

Wow, had to double check this wasn't uncyclopedia.

Simple is beautiful. Well said! I'm sick of the recent trend in website design where it takes up the whole width, has huge images everywhere with maybe 1 line of useful text visible. And you have to scroll down all the way to get any decent amount of information. Looks pretty, but functionally it drives me crazy. Then again, it's ultra popular, so I guess I'm mostly alone. By the way, I like the site design. :)

I was under the impression they're consolidating 2 messaging front ends into one? I guess they're really just deleting one, but same difference.

I dislike fragmentation, so this is probably a good thing? I don't use Facebook to really care either way though.

Ah, I thought this was killed along with latitude. Looks like distance to the moon is gone though. :(

This is very cool, maybe I can stop memorizing random strings of characters now -_-.

No proof really. My last job hunt ( Nov of last year ) just came up 100% not-C++, currently doing Java work. Same thing happened a few years ago...maybe I just lived in a lame city though.

Yeah, this is true. But all places pretty much require you have prior experience. Not to mention most games these days are in Obj-c/Java. Plus game studios aren't exactly ubiquitous (least not where I'm from).

I love C++, I wish there was more work available that used it. EDIT: Clearly my issue is where I lived, not the lack of available jobs apparently.

Gah! This was my go to PHP MVC framework (ie. I used it for 3 projects). Sad to see it end.

Agreed, this will almost certainly cause library problems.

From Wikipedia: Some clinicians and scientists criticize giving genes frivolous, whimsical, or quirky names, calling it inappropriate that patients with "a serious illness or disability are told that they or their child have a mutation in a gene such as sonic hedgehog."

I have no idea, but looking at their robots file made me laugh:

User-Agent: bender Disallow: /my_shiny_metal_ass

User-Agent: Gort Disallow: /earth

Especially when the code is on github (or whatever).

So you're basically saying "why do anything without a valid reason"?

Jan. 12, 2016 refers to a version of Windows Embedded, not the consumer version of XP.

Okay, but as far as I can tell he changed the algorithm (recursive c++, pop/push to global array, etc) ... doesn't that kind of negate the argument unless you change it in the assembly version as well?

I don't really understand how the author is managing to contradict the previous HN discussion.

Why are you selling it?

Correct, I see this everywhere. Apparently religion on the internets does not belong. My guess is because most tech-savvy people are of the pure scientific mind set or whatever. Disclaimer: I have not read that thread, opinion based on parents description.
