News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

This comment is another "please don't stop" reply. The very, very rare occasion when Hacker News flashes up a gem of a true hacker keeps me coming back. Skinner's box has me trapped here.

I look forward to the underwater snail simulation so I can understand what caused our snail to die in our short-lived fish tank experiment. :(

No doubt, though, the little apple snail was more interesting than the beta fish he shared the tank with!

Thank you! I appreciate your taking the time to leave an encouraging comment. I'm afraid I have to disappoint you in that the simulation is not one of aquatic snails, but land snails (although I did have some thoughts about maybe making a mixed simulation, the organism can largely be reused...but that's not in the near future)
