Norwegians and Swedes are more likely to converse using their own languages rather than using English.

Where's the arrogance? All I see is a honest, introspective look at the development process and stability of CockroachDB.

What statements are you referring to?

Congrats on launching the game.

I had a company with a balance of 2bn, and accidentally managed to bankrupt it by transferring everything to my wallet. I should read numbers more carefully. However, the acquisition/investment offers I had gotten were still available when I started a new company, so I managed to sell it for something like 1.5bn before work had even begun on the product.

A few suggestions:

* Finding employees to give raises/bonuses to is tedious when you've got lots of employees. It would be nice to have a link to the employee from the email, or maybe even embed the "interact" button inside the email. (from level up, wage complaint emails)

* The conversion rate seems to be bugged. It always stays at 0% for me.

* It would be nice to see the effectiveness of the ad campaigns/social media campaigns you're running.

* The spending power/market size of a niche seems to only be visible after niche research is done.

* After cashing out the first company, there's not much challenge in getting the 2nd off the ground: 1) Do each of the tech categories yourself/hire the best employees and get over 90% rating. 2) Fire any tech workers, hire marketers to do a $99999 TV campaign, wait for it to accumulate site visitors. 3) Set yourself to do the sales 4) Launch the product and watch the sales skyrocket

I found the early game the most fun, but I imagine that's what you've spent the most time tuning so far.

Fun game, looking forward to future updates :)

Edit: Oh, and the leaderboard seems to be broken at the moment. Or is that just on my end?

OSX and Windows seems to be the targeted platforms according to their Kickstarter FAQ.

> We have no plans to bring Macaw to Linux at this time. Once the Mac and Windows versions are released we will look into Linux.

I was recently looking for services that could handle resizing and cropping. Personally I prefer the ones that act like a proxy, so I can store the images in my own S3 bucket. Here are the services I found:

Ah. I stand corrected :)

Using range would create the whole list. xrange is the one that acts like a generator :)

The `>>>` added to links with the `:before` selector adds a right margin that becomes an unclickable area between the decoration and the actual link. Using padding instead of margin will fix that.

Funny how @coreyhaines has made hugboard.com ("giving the gift of encouragement"), @steveklabnik is a maintainer of hacketyhack, a tool for learning how to program.

"Hackety Hack will teach you the absolute basics of programming from the ground up. No previous programming experience is needed!"

And while you're busy learning the basics, we'll just wait until you release something so we can publicly ridicule you on Twitter because you did something we don't approve of. Hurrah!
