Something nobody seems to have mentioned, which I think is actually very important, is to make sure you take time off to get away from work and not get burnt out.

I've not tried voxel art yet, but I've been playing with pixel art for the past 18 months or so and the limitations are actually fun for me. It means that you have to come up with some creative solutions.

Usually the year means the year it was posted on the source site. That doesn't necessarily mean it'll be posted here the same year.

Because it was 584 days ago. HN lets you repost something after a while.

Took me less than a minute: https://www.facebook.com/help/iphone-app/710615012295337

It still doesn't really tell you what it means, just the name/annotation.

Further down the article:

> After a few minutes, he found me coming through the security line, and sure enough, my computer was not with my bags when I retrieved my belongings. Moving further back in time, we watched as a TSA agent pulled my computer off of the belt as soon as it came out of the machine—there is an area where agents can remove things from the belt before passengers have access to belongings. He moved my computer to a holding area immediately behind the x-ray machine. And then, we watched as the computer was inspected, after which it was handed back… to a random woman. The woman took my computer and left the security area.

Some of these rules assume that you have control over the whole experience, which is fine if you're writing an app from the ground up with chat. But if you're writing a bot for slack or Facebook messenger, you don't have control of those things.

You've made that comment twice on this page with nothing backing it up.

I see it more as offering the opportunity to people to have an interest in it. I learned to code in my own time, by digging around and finding tutorials and snippets.

Part of my secondary school (high school) education was mandatory science classes where we covered biology, chemistry and physics. The majority of that stuff I haven't used since. With computers being more and more a part of our daily lives, why shouldn't coding be part of what we teach our kids? If they don't take an interest in it then that's fine, but there'll be a good chunk that will then use it later on in life.

Not to mention that it's actually great for teaching problem solving. Showing that breaking down a problem and solving it in a number of steps really helps grasp how to solve a problem.

I only ever did the homework I was interested in and quite a few times it helped me understand it better.

Because while the basic income would suffice for the basics, the pension allows you to live your retirement in comfort.

Or it shows that they see that there's already an established base of people using TypeScript, more than Dart, and choosing to follow where the community exists. Throughout the development of Angular 2 the team also talked with the developers of other frameworks, libraries and tools, which shows that they believe in the community more than trying to push their own agenda.

I think the end result is actually that JavaScript wins. If it turns out that a lot of people think that JavaScript needs a type system, one will be proposed and rolled into the language.

Microsoft only bought the Nokia phone manufacturing business and got a license to use the name for a period of time. The rest of the business still exists and seems to be doing well.

What he actually said was "Once sales start dying and a minimum time has passed, I will release the game source code as some kind of open source." [0]. Sales haven't died down and he doesn't own it anymore anyway.

It looks like the author takes patch submissions and applies them, rather than pull requests being merged. Detailed in: https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

The author could still work with people to create it.

In the graphic it's worded as "88.8 per 100 people" which can easily be mistaken for 88.8% because it doesn't state that it's 88.8 firearms, not 88.8 people.

There's absolutely no need for the personal attacks in this reply.

Off topic, but this is the second submission I've seen where the title was all in caps except "Not" and having just done a test it seems that HN converts "NOT" to "Not". I'm curious as to why...

Other submission was this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11411368

There are many reasons why the "need to get a drink guy" could have done what what he did, for example poor social skills (not his fault) or being socially drained (as somewhat of an introvert, I experience this)

A number of these are simply poor communication and some of them are actually the fault of the author.

I saw one of the other issues that this user spammed the repo with[0] and it said they'd tweeted the issue. Following that trail I found their twitter account[1] where they just seem to be either a hateful person or someone with a mental illness.
