nicklovescodeon Ask HN: Which people and groups are researching new approaches to programming?

I'm working on a new approach to programming that is in the direction of Bret Victor's Inventing on Prínciple (focusing on environment, all open source)

Because we're prelaunch(and working hard on getting it to all of you!) I can't talk about it much yet, but we're funded and looking to work with great people.

Email me at cammarata.nick@gmail.com if you're interested in this space, would love to hear ideas and talk more.

nicklovescodeon Churchill and His Money, or Lack of It

Upstart at least initially did this, by letting you sell a percentage of your future income.

nicklovescodeon The Macro

Would be great for someone to connect a browser plugin that somehow highlights exceptional comments that might be hidden. Maybe people > X,000 karma get to highlight one a day.

Ideally it would also highlight ones that were featured on The Macro

nicklovescodeon Ask HN: New attempt at mobile markup – keep or bail?

Thank you. Thank you!

nicklovescodeon YC Stats

How many founders have gone through YC?

nicklovescodeon Soloshot: Automatically film outdoor activities without a camera operator

Makes sense. Thanks!

nicklovescodeon Soloshot: Automatically film outdoor activities without a camera operator

Would it be possible to mimic these features in post prod? Essentially gather a giant high res shot, using the money spent on fancy feature on higher res. Then run the same algorithms in post to get a similar video?

nicklovescodeon Deep Dreams with Caffe

Can someone please create a SASS interface to play with it? Would love to send this to family/friends who can't easily spin up the code.

nicklovescodeon MetaES – JavaScript in JavaScript interpreter

hey Bartqk, I'm working on something I think you might be interested in, but I can't find your email in your profile. Would love to chat. My email is cammarata.nick@gmail.com

nicklovescodeon You Draw It: Family Income vs. College Attendence

Would be a good weekend project to make a generalized form of this(enter your own data, it constructs a page). Maybe I'll try it if I go to a hackathon sometime later this year, but someone should beat me to it!

nicklovescodeon Taste for Makers (2002)

I was happy to see someone else bring up that book as well. I did not imagine someone else or make a connection

nicklovescodeon Show HN: An Isomorphic JavaScript Framework Faster Than React

You perhaps have a reasonable criticism but there is no need to wrap it in a sarcastic insult

nicklovescodeon Tell Sam Altman: I will take your bet

Hi Michael, would you mind explaining your rationale? In particular, why would you believe his bet and still be a VC?

nicklovescodeon “We have decided not to integrate the Dart VM into Chrome”

you wont be stuck with JS forever! I'm working on a super-productive functional language I think you'll like. Couldn't find your email. Mine is cammarata.nick@gmail.com (would rather not post link just yet)

nicklovescodeon Four&me – Connect with great people and get together for amazing activities

It's user content but it's your company. You need to jumpstart it http://paulgraham.com/ds.html

nicklovescodeon Four&me – Connect with great people and get together for amazing activities

I downloaded the app and an iPad and found that the three suggestions I was able to visit were fairly boring. One interesting unscalable idea would be to find 10 events that are truly unique and create an event for those. Just grabbing coffee is not super interesting but if you had a very unique type of event(e.g if one of you is an archer teach four people archery) I would definitely check it out.

nicklovescodeon “This change deletes the C implementations of the Go compiler and assembler”

yes

nicklovescodeon Why OCaml, why now? (2014)

nicklovescodeon Ask HN: How should we write our next JavaScript front end?

I know this isn't a direct answer but I'm working on a new framework(that isn't ready yet) but I would love to hear your thoughts and see what you're excited by. Couldn't find your email mine is cammarata.nick@gmail.com.

nicklovescodeon Demo Days

Is there a centralized source of other companies who decided to release their video? Thanks for releasing yours by the way :)

nicklovescodeon Ask HN: What book changed your life in 2014?

On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins - gave me a framework to think about how the mind navigates and learns about the world.

nicklovescodeon Screeps – the world's first MMO sandbox strategy game for programmers

Would love additional info on gameplay. Is it RTS style where you see all your creeps and start coding on the spot? Or is it you write a more general algorithm and see how everything goes?

nicklovescodeon Editors and iframes

I've been using QuillJS for half a year now and love it

nicklovescodeon Isaac Asimov Mulls “How Do People Get New Ideas?” (1959)

Since this Asimov essay is about groups functioning in a space, Brett Victor's seeing spaces talk also seems rather relevant. Give people new ways to think about things, and great places for them to think together.

nicklovescodeon Pixie: A small fast, native lisp

Would love some examples that showoff the benefits

nicklovescodeon Chapter Two of Peter Thiel's New Book

What is the benefit of not allowing links in a post? Is it a purposeful decision or or is it just that no one has bothered to implement it.

nicklovescodeon A Call for a Low-Carb Diet

I believe you would be downvoted less harshly if you provided a few reputable sources to back your statement.

nicklovescodeon Rap Genius Raises $40M, Changes Name To Genius

I'd be very surprised if 100k did the job. I would bet under $500k though. Still worth it.
