Is this not Hacker News? Seriously, what the fuck is up with all these closed-minded, anti-hacker comments today? Is HN really just a bunch of knuckle-dragging, startup-fellating retards now?
Really you think you are super smart and everyone else is "startup-fellating" retard? Solve a real problem for once in your life and then start to say crap.
I felt the project was useless and didn't solve anything. I am entitled to my opinion.
Apart from "Masturbating monkey" like you who get exciting at anything that comes at #1 on HN, for once use your mind and think if it really helped you or did you learn anything new?
? Of how little javascript you need to get a whole bunch of things done. In this game, you could efficiently generate several different objects of various animations doing different sorts of stuff simply by putting in the least of javascript. It is less resource intensive and more natural to the browser because it leverages things it expects.
Several years ago, this game would be very resource heavy and use lots of JS, but as more common uses of JS are merged into CSS, JS is less and less relied on.
Well, if you take a look at the code. Most of it is doing things in CSS what could easily have been done in JS.
Doing something to make a statement and doing something useful are two different things.
I have two questions for you though i agree with you on couple of points:
- Are you ever going to use this in near future(say 1/2 years)?
- Will you ever be able to maintain or write something of this sort when complexity arises? CSS is a domain specific declarative language. A lot of cool things could be done with it.But for game development? Hell No!
You might find some sense in these arguments, i hope!
Little disappointed on the content quality of HN nowadays , rather than seeing stories of inspiring people solving some real problem and doing some real shit. All i see now is anything goes up at #1.
I don't get what all the fuss is all about. Why would you want to hide your identity unless you are writing something crappy or being a troll on Youtube or Play Store. A single sign-on service is a great decision and that't the way things should be when you have multiple services from same company.
You guys don't mind using all services like Spotify, Quora etc that are so closely tied up with Facebook login. But when google tries to integrate it's own services it is so wrong? What are we, Hypocrites?
Coming to Google+, it is a much better designed and well thought off social network. What is the whole issue about?
"Why would you want to hide your identity unless you are writing something crappy"
Yeah like if you are Mexican and you made a comment online about drug cartels, and then you were disemboweled and strung up from a bridge as a warning to others.
I have thought about this. Don't you think that the crowd at HN just goes too hard on anything Google does? Frankly i don't feel anything wrong is have a SSO for all google apps. There are always a way to hide identity if you truly want to be anonymous.
Agreed, there are some concerns as well. But again, aren't we living in an age where all our data is being sold to marketing agencies and companies. FB has been doing it since ever.
The founders of Flipkart (Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal) used to work for Amazon. So, I think there's no doubt of where they got the business model for Flipkart from.
I have a 24 inch Asus monitor and have 13-inch macbook pro. Along with it, i use a Wired Apple keyboard and Logitech G400 gaming mouse. I have very happy with this setup and quite productive with it as well. Also, you can check out this link for a detailed insight. http://vinitkumar.me/articles/my-setup/
The two ideas are very different, but complementary.
Boxen is about getting your MacOS environment set up with tooling.
The author of the original blog posting is talking about how to automate the creation of a production-like environment in which to do your development.
The creation of that environment requires a few tools installed on your physical Mac, which could be managed via Boxen. For example, you might use Boxen to automate the installation/upgrade of Vagrant or your IDE of choice.
