Re:Show HN: HTML Set the game on Tuesday April 10, 2012 @01:58PM (#3823484)
There is already a really nice iOS app so I think I will leave that one alone. We made this version with Android use in mind. That being said there are a lot of things that could be done to get the quirks out on mobile, like preventing window resizing and handling multi-touch. I would prefer to keep it web based if the experience remains decent. Android is a possibility though.

Thanks for checking out our version of Set. It is one of my all time favorite games. Hope you guys like it. I decided to build it after being frustrated there is no good Android app for set. As a result, this can be best viewed in a Webkit based or mobile browser. Sorry IE/FF, your SVG support is weird. Feedback is welcomed. The code can be found at https://github.com/andrewhubbs/set along with a full test suite.

Re:Ask HN: experiences with Lasik eye surgery (programmers especially)? on Saturday December 04, 2010 @09:13PM (#1970807)
A coworker of mine had Lasik in India in February 2010. His surgery resulted in very serious light sensitivity problems when he returned to America. He was not able to work for several weeks longer than what the doctor indicated. Also once he did begin working again he wore sunglasses and dimmed his screen way down for at least a month after that. He also experienced intense headaches throughout this time period.

I do not know how he is doing now because we have not been in contact since June. I would still get Lasik but caution you to receive it from a surgeon that you do not have to travel thousands of miles to see if complications do arise.
