There are! You can use the arrow keys. It should work even when there’s touch support. I’ve also thought about moving the boosters all to one side.

Wow, I need to make a new crash blurb

I had a 1 point bonus for flips in the score but ended up removing it because it felt too overpowered. But! Having a good score AND flips is impressive in itself.

Yep the angle can't exceed 12

That is amazing. Not accurate at all really, unless the moon was an infinite plane I guess. If you hit escape velocity you'll never land!

This is the fastest I've ever seen!

Lateral velocity should be taken into account since I'm taking the vector of the x/y velocity. It's just that it needs to be under 12mph, so you can be going pretty fast laterally.

That’s my baby

This, and going sideways really really fast is the way. The highest I've seen is 1500mph.

Very nice, did you hear the baby at the 400mph mark?

If you clone the repo and remove this condition you can try the trajectory at all times: https://github.com/ehmorris/lunar-lander/blob/master/lander/...

IMO it looked like a big noodle, and the "needle" at the bottom bounces around distractingly. Plus, without the help all the time, it's a little harder!

Yes but you can also compete on using as little throttle/booster as possible! IMO the perfect landing is one where you engage the engine at the exact right moment to touch down at <1mph, and you engage a booster only once in order to be upright. Engine and booster use aren't part of the score though.

The older commits were part of a previous idea that I abandoned, then a few weeks ago I deleted almost everything and gave it another try.

Thanks for playing!

Think I figured it out

Ah! If you've got a console error I'd appreciate it

This will prevent your texts from syncing between your phone and other devices, like a MacBook. I learned this the hard way by debugging a relative’s text-syncing issue.

The NYC zoning law you're referencing was replaced in the 60s with a different zoning law which emphasized plazas. Current NYC skyscrapers are more affected by laws around air rights and void spaces.

This is a really similar idea to a Chrome extension that exists for Google Docs, Draftback: https://features.jsomers.net/how-i-reverse-engineered-google...

This lawsuit isn't about copyright. It's about violating Genius' TOS and anticompetitive behavior.

That ban actually happened about a year before the lyrics info box came into existence.

They do have an indemnity agreement with LyricFind, but they're kinda implicated here because they knew about the issue for so long and did nothing.

This is different from the story that came out this past summer, about Genius watermarking lyrics.

1. There’s a new watermark. After the first watermark got exposed, Google said they’d investigate, but Genius has caught them again.

2. Genius has filed an actual lawsuit.

Disclosure: I used to work at Genius

Also, a direct link to the legal complaint, which is a surprisingly fun read: https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docInde...

One was eventually built, sort of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_Tower

I believe the Hong Kong metro owns and leases the land on top of its stations.

Not sure what you mean. There are no ads on the engineering blog, we don't have a newsletter, and we don't request location information or launch any confirmation dialogs.

If you're talking about a Genius song page, we still don't do anything you said except for showing ads, and playing the subscription message after you've listened to a 30s song preview.

These are the kind of specimen pages that Google should be showing on Google Fonts. Love that it breaks down ligatures, ordinals, and special characters like arrows.

Not as high fidelity as a photo, but the Sanborn fire insurance maps are a great record of many US cities and towns, and how they changed throughout the late 19th and early/mid 20th century.

If you’re in NYC you can also go to the municipal building to view these photos

This comment is so annoying - the perfect HN mix of pretentious and nihilist.

If you really think that average people trying to create anything will make things worse, then you're probably fine with the entertainment-addiction cycle in the first place. Maybe you work for supercell.
