Would love to hear your thoughts on Netrunner: Android! Been thinking about getting into it but a bit unsure if it's something my significant other can get into as well.

Are there any product tour libraries that can detect interaction with the application being presented?

Heh, it is a bit. The reason is probably the uncanny valley effect[1].

Re:Building a Hacker News clone in Django - Part 1 (Screencast) on Wednesday May 29, 2013 @04:52AM (#5785308)
I agree with you on that. I didn't mean to say that the idea or the video wasn't good.

Maybe this is a nitpick but I'd revise the opening sentance: "There is no better way to learn something than to watch someone else do it".

I think we can all agree that when it comes to programming the _best_ way to learn it is to actually program.

Ask HN: What happened to Windows.app?

from the ask-hn dept.

Hi,Does anyone know what happened to Windows.app, a window management software similar to Slate[1]?I saw just a few days ago that it was going to change its name from "Windows.app" (a wise decision) to something else.[1]: https://github.com/jigish/slate

I've tried several times now and I'm still getting "Manifest file is invalid".

Nice app! If you are going to keep the ads (I'd rather pay something like $1), please show them on the frontpage compared to when I'm reading the article. Also it would be nice if it would not reload the frontpage every time I come back from reading an article.
Re:Ask HN: What kind of games are fun to make? on Saturday December 15, 2012 @04:22AM (#4925012)
Think about what kind of games you like to play, choose one of them and try to simplify it down to the bare minimum, no fluff. Then start making the most basic feature and continue from there.

Re:RethinkDB: An open-source distributed database built with love over... on Saturday November 10, 2012 @02:33AM (#4766185)
I'm a relatively new Mac user and never used MacPorts. When I search brew I get these results:

$ brew search gcc

apple-gcc42 gcc

homebrew/versions/gcc45 homebrew/versions/llvm-gcc28

I'm a bit confused since I thought that these are gcc. Can someone tell me what those results mean? :S
