Thanks mate!

Thank you :)

OP here:

A couple of weeks ago I shared my web game "Hole Punch" with you, in which you sling a spaceship around gravitational fields: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49946393

It was much more successful than I'd imagined, staying on the homepage for a couple of days. Friends & family messaged to tell me they'd seen it and how addictive they found playing it.

I've since ported the game to iOS, where I've been able to develop the mobile interactions a bit better. It has more free levels (and another 35 behind a £4 paywall). It's my first iOS game so please go easy on me.

I really hope you enjoy playing it as much as you did the web version!

OP here: An iOS version is coming out in the next couple of days, with new puzzles, interesting physics and pigs!

OP here: Should have an iOS version going out tomorrow

Working on an iOS version already ;)

You have my permission. It looks awesome

I agree - the mobile sucks. I've made a couple of usability tweaks for now, but hope to have more time to spend on it in the week

The "no fuel" mechanic is very challenging. If you click on the "sector" button at top left and then click "I give up" the computer will show you the solution. It's all about making gates with two holes and then steering by adding mass to one

I do apologise. I'm trying to replicate the mobile issues, though I don't have one to hand right now. I've just pushed up some changes that attempt to make touch interactivity a little better and I added full screen support

Thanks. The important context is that I am 6ft 7 (and once knew all the words to Hypnotize)

Sorry, it very much began as a desktop game. Hoping to work on it if I have time tomorrow

Thanks! I like the keyboard experience (space for start/stop), arrows to add/subtract mass. Maybe I will add tabbing

I just pushed an update. Click on the hole and controls will appear. I think you'll enjoy the later levels (10+)

It sorta works. Hoping to do more testing (tomorrow)

I can foresee my team using this for documenting our local tooling. I’m wondering also if it could store a login token to make authenticated requests with, to create sales handovers from.

Thank you! Reading your comment made my day

I'm really struggling to see how to make architectural decisions with an agent. It's great when you're at a total loss for ideas, but when you already have some of the pieces it ultimately wants to drive all of the thinking and takes over. Then it just feels like you're deferring your experienced judgement. I've seen colleagues lose the ability to reason any more without asking the agent to do it for them, because they inherently don't see the point if the agent is going to end up doing the whole piece (and probably auditing/overruling anything they came up with on their own).

Any proof?

I'm working on "See My Spending" - a web app that gives you better insight into where your money's going. It provides real, actionable insights without the use of generative AI. Currently preparing for a launch for UK customers only

No defecation allowed

The example video just looks like the highly produced art (TV, commercials, games) other people have created. I find it impossible to believe this wasn't trained on other people's work, and there is no protection for it. Terribly sad. A lack of original thinking is coming.

So much for the "free speech" Vance hounded us Europeans with. All lies, of course.

Or maybe... you know... read

Funny to see this; I read the first ~100 pages of the Stripe Press book last night and am highly enjoying it.

It seems to be a trend of HN lately.

Downvote me into oblivion or whatever: It's not relevant to me in the slightest whether you built it in Rust or not, or even Python, Go, Java, Node, PHP etc. There is lots of great and terrible, fast and slow software written in each. OP might only have 3 months of programming experience for all I know.

Why is "made with Rust" any more relevant than "made with Go" to an end user of a software product? It just doesn't matter.

The DevOps team at my company wants to hire a replacement for a very talented engineer. They’ve been interviewing candidates. The board got wind of it and someone not in their team decided they needed an AI Engineer, which is absolutely not what they want. So to release the funds they have been forced to change the job description and go after a different type of role altogether. It’s complete nonsense.

A well researched and written piece
