nanexcool··on Report on Stablecoins [pdf]
You misspelled Ethereum 4 times.

Dai is now backed by a lot more tokens than just Ether, and 150% is really the minimum to avoid liquidation (145% now).

nanexcool··on Google Hangouts Chat
I haven't been able to video chat using Hangouts for a long time now. Chrome on Windows 10 or Chrome on Ubuntu 17.10, I click the video button and... nothing.

Works on Android though.

nanexcool··on The Weird Science of Naming New Products
They named it Jaunt by the way. It's the last word of the article.
nanexcool··on New, more powerful Google Translate app
I speak English, Spanish and Italian. I've been talking to this app for the past hour in those languages and translating to whatever languages have speech output. This is so amazing.
nanexcool··on PleaseWait.js – Show your users a beautiful loading page while your app loads
Slack does this, Resource Guru as well. There's probably a lot more. I don't really mind, I think it's a nice touch.
nanexcool··on Handmade Hero: C game from scratch
This was one of the easiest purchases I've made in my life. I've been following Casey's blog for some time and his Wednesdays posts are amazing.

I can't wait to start watching the videos and of course, code along.

nanexcool··on The Introverted Face
So now I want a service where I can upload a pic and it'll tell me if I'm trustworthy or not.
nanexcool··on Eventjoy (YC W14) Is Joining Ticketmaster
Ah, that's sad. Ticketmaster and "joy" do not go in the same sentence.

Title refers to a pivot that came to be because of a mistake, not that the pivot itself is a mistake.
nanexcool··on Reasonable non-compete clause
Something like this will work, thanks.
nanexcool··on Embedding Scheme for a game mission scripting DSL
Hey, I visited your game website http://thespatials.com/ and it started blasting audio automatically. Some consider this an anti-pattern!

The info on mission scripting is really good though!

nanexcool··on Show HN: I got hacked, felt paranoid, made an app – GlassWire
I know saying just 'Wow, what a beautiful, useful app' doesn't really add much to the discussion, but it's all I can muster.

Beautiful app. Amazingly designed. Insanely useful with zero configuration. Would love to pay money for this, especially if you can bring this sort of zero click usability to a LAN environment.

Congratulations!

nanexcool··on Lightspeed – A Browser Experiment
I used to think that too. But then, why have a Downloads folder if you're not going to put Downloads in there? I agree that every once in a while you have to do some cleaning, but that's on the user.

That's what you distilled from his post?

Thanks for following up!
nanexcool··on Show HN: Dropu – My first iOS game
Looks nice, congrats! I'll give it a try once I'm home.

Dabbling with #gamedev myself, I have a couple of questions if you don't mind.

What framework/engine did you use?

What's the font on the menu? (I like it a lot)

If you have time, I'd love to read a post-mortem.

nanexcool··on Chrome 37 Beta: DirectWrite on Windows and the Dialog Element
Lately I've found myself using Firefox more and more. The last couple of weeks Chrome and Canary have been hanging a lot, especially when I want to download a file. Chrome will slow to a crawl, tabs will stop rendering and when I try to close it thinks it's still downloading something.

As someone who's been using Chrome since the first public release I wish it were a bit more stable (for me at least).

nanexcool··on One year with Colemak
I switched to Dvorak about 7 years ago. In hindsight I probably should have stayed with Qwerty.

Nobody can use my machines. My girlfriend already knows to Ctrl-Shift to change keyboard layouts, but that's on my PC where Windows is in English. On my laptop with Windows in Spanish it's Alt-Shift. Even I get confused sometimes.

Most games I play don't recognize layouts, so WASD doesn't work. I have to Ctrl-Shift before launching a game. And that's on Windows 8 that has per-session layout. Windows 7 is per window layout so if Ctrl-Shift doesn't work inside the game I have to manually configure keyboard.

Copy Cut Paste become Ctrl I, Ctrl B and Ctrl . I think this is not a problem in Colemak.

My first language is Spanish. After learning Dvorak I no longer use accents or ñ (just Alt-164'd that one) so it's a pain when I type something more or less official that can't have spelling errors.

After that rant, I'm still relatively happy with Dvorak. At least I have something to say on job interviews.

nanexcool··on Frame.io: A GitHub for Video
I'm reading in the comments that there's more on the page if you scroll. I'm using a laptop with no mouse and no scroll on the trackpad and neither Page Down nor Space nor the arrow keys work.
nanexcool··on Ask HN: How do you guys write your ebooks?
My book will be about game development so there's going to be lots of images and lots of code. I'll check out Scrivener, thanks!
nanexcool··on Ask HN: How do you guys write your ebooks?
Thanks, those are very useful!
nanexcool··on Time to end the war against saturated fat?
No YOU'RE a towel!
nanexcool··on Time to end the war against saturated fat?
Not going to argue with a stranger on the internet.

Rather I'm gonna go out for a run.

nanexcool··on Time to end the war against saturated fat?
This is anecdotal, but I've now lost 20 kg with a ketogenic diet. Started at 110 kg, I now weigh 90 kg after 5 months. I've complemented the diet with a regular amount of exercise (mostly running).

If anyone is interested, http://www.reddit.com/r/keto has a nice community of ketoers.

nanexcool··on How I made an Android game from scratch in 23 days
Loved your game, but most of all your blog. Congratulations!
nanexcool··on Ripple is officially open source
Cared enough to comment that you don't care, right?
nanexcool··on Divshot
Hoping to try it out, I'm mocking up a website with Bootstrap and changing themes a bit and doing it visually sounds interesting.
