I'm horrible at DK, so I hope I can make it through the game in one piece.

On another note, there's a potential Donkey Kong Kill Screen coming up... If anyone's interested blank stare

I don't fancy Buzzfeed top 10 lists much, but someone out there finds it valuable.

The way I see it is that you have a choice (if the opportunity knocks).

1) Create a product (that you don't like) that a mass audience likes. Reap the benefits, and then start something that you do like.

2) Create a product (your life's work) that an audience may like and see what happens.

There are more options than that of course, but I hope my idea does come across clear.

Went to HN today and saw this. Looks pretty good. I wouldn't play it much, but I see an audience for it. It has a lot of potential as well.

1. Color coded directions 2. Progressive difficulty 3. Positive reinforcement (You're doing great!)

I find myself focusing on the top right but also using my peripheral vision to see the upcoming directions.

The better I am with my pattern recognition the more I can focus on the bottom of the screen and have the next 2-3 moves buffered (like a Simon game).

Very good job! I'll forward this one out to my niece. Hope it gets some traction for you!

A few suggestions for future release.

1. Add a variant of soundtracks and speeds 2. Add a variant of end points to change the point of focus. 3. Perhaps even add a "bomb" element. So, if you get X amount of points, you gain bombs (think geometry wars or pacman championship). The bombs will allow you to sort of reset the built up arrows when things get a bit difficult.

Score : 4400

Is it me, or is Bill Gates the coolest person ever after relinquishing his duties at Microsoft?

He seems so at peace with everything (except for his charities and philanthropic efforts of course).

I kind of wish I bought Bitcoins when I heard about it a year or so ago (just like I wish I invested in Facebook). I did read an article explaining Bitcoin. Parts of it made sense, but other parts still left me confused. I wouldn't say that should deter anyone. As many things out there that we want or have, the results of the product is sometimes more important than its inner-workings.

I absolutely love this series of videos. Its supremely comprehensive and makes me just want to quit my job, drive home, and build an amazing company.

Unfortunately bills gets in the way so I have to work these 8 hours. That said, every time I do watch these videos I'm coding and planning on my off hours. Startup school in NYC was an amazing experience as well.

They have pointed out in the article that Beats really isn't as "high quality" as other superior headphone sets.

So, I don't understand the knock towards them. Its a product. A product that has done extremely well. There are many products out there that sell because of a celebrity endorsed it. In fact the article stated that Dr. Dre was thinking of marketing fashion before he spoke with Iovine on what he should do. Dre would have had sold some product one way or another to make money. Why not Beats?

All in all, it all just worked out for Dre. Beats is a good headset made cheap and sold high. It found its star in Dr. Dre to be the face.

Beats is the George Forman Grill on headphones!

No reason to knock it. There are many products out there that isn't the greatest, but it works fine for most of us. Look at Windows.

Now, should getting rich be the end goal of every business venture? No, but well you'd definitely want it to do fairly well.

-- I think its a cool idea that they are trying to disrupt college. Especially in the fields of the Arts, why not try? More choices means more people (especially young people) get to see what's out out there, what's possible.

How many articles do we need to post on Hacker News about the "youth not able to find a job even with a bachelors degree at Stanford" before some change to how we "educate" them occurs?

All in all, I cannot criticize someone's business practices who's able generate $3 billion for a company let alone $1. Someone was going to do that, why not him?

Everywhere I turned, people mentioned Buffer so I grabbed an account a couple of days ago.

Its a great service that falls in that "why didn't I think of that?" category. Really cool.

I'm happy for them and I hope they can go very far with this venture. They have paying customers and as word spreads around more and more about the need to utilize social media to market your online business (There's a CNN article recently released about it http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/01/world/europe/bloggers-six-figu... ), the need to organize content release is essential.

So, congrats guys at Buffer!

I noticed that I had trouble logging on yesterday around 4pm. I wonder what's going on.

Remote: Yes please

Willing to relocate: Yes please

Technologies: ASP.Net stack, C#, JQuery, html, css, SQL

I'm willing to learn more if needed.

Seriously, this is an amazing invention. The problem is, like most things like this, regulating it.

For some reason, when it was airing, it resonated with me. Perhaps, I'm over worked and realize that these material things aren't really as important as one's health. Then again, I love owning a car and a home.

Its such a conflicting thought.

My take-away... A lot of the things they've mentioned was stuff I already heard/known. That said, it was great to hear them again and again.

I really like the cadence of 1) "No excuses. Just Do It!" 2) "No one knows what they're doing and that's fine" 3) "The Net is truly a level playing field"

Anyway, those are my little tidbits. Back to coding!

I had a co-worker ask me "How do you code so well in C#? I want to be a master in that language."

My reply... "Create a simple blog project and then work from there. Eventually you'll want to add more and more features that will move you throughout that chosen language."

I've learned so much by creating and uploading semi-unfinished side projects on the web.

e.g. artJutsu.com/lightbox

Posted this in her reply... 'Nuff said...

Yes it will run hot, or take tilted pictures, etc. But that's the point. And really, this rant actually helps Google more than it hurts them.

But seriously, who didn't think this was going to happen?

1. This is freakin' brilliant! Its about time someone stepped up and treated their craft like true art. There is only one Mona Lisa. Yes, we have prints all over the place, but there is only one Mona Lisa. And its valuable!

   Now, not all artists can do this. Wu-Tang can. They have been around for a while. They have sold millions. They have a big fan based. So, this is perfect for them. They'll still earn money from shows. Probably more now that each show has something "historic" to offer now that a song from the new album will be performed here and there.

  Great job Wu-Tang!

For me, its all about looking at all three panels and making moves in the other ones that will not affect the two.

That is, if I have a choice to move up or down an the other 2 panels can only move down, I would choose up. Then I can score another 4, 8, 16 or so points without changing much of the board.

Its exciting really. You see similarities and you also see differences. I think this helps more than it hurts since these "new ideas" will help me with the other environment (and vice versa).

This actually got me interested in learning other languages/frameworks (php, haskell, ruby on rails). After I get the hang of Android, I want to play around with an iOS app from scratch. Sure, I could use some conversion software to do this job. But, I'd rather not. I like to understand what's going on under the hood. I guess its the CompSci in me.

I guess what I'm saying is that I think it is so much better to have a universal understanding of these technologies then to blindly stick to one "team".

As an aside...didn't Facebook mentioned they used PHP not because it was "better" but because it happened to be the technology that worked for what they were doing at that time?
