I made this game called Ten Large.From my limited understanding of theoretical computer science, it's considered a Non-deterministic Polynomial-time hard problem (someone please correct me if I am wrong in this assessment).I am wondering if anyone can solve it without the use of an algorithm?https://itunes.apple.com/app/id959811502

Re:Ask HN: Who are your favorite poets? on Tuesday March 31, 2015 @11:24AM (#9296905)

Rumi, Bukowski, Gibran, Poe.

One of my favourite poems is by Charles Bukowski and it has this wonderful recursive quality to it. It's called "Oh Yes".

there are worse things than being along but it often takes decades to realize this and most often when you do it's too late and there's nothing worse than too late.

Below is one of the best articles about the "truth" of exercising I have ever read.

In sum: Lift. Move. Regularly.

The lifting (building of muscle) is seemingly more important than anything else.

Re:What was your best passive income in 2014? on Wednesday July 30, 2014 @06:50PM (#8111419)

My social game (for the last 3 consecutive months) has brought in about $8000 - $10,000 a month. Pretty consistently averaging about $300 a day. Generally spend about 4 hours a month on it total. To note: The developer I work with spends much more time on it than I do; but it is not a focus / priority for either of us. It took about 18 months to get it to this point. It probably got to break even in roughly 5-6 months.

Re:When someone blocks ad's what really happens? on Thursday November 15, 2012 @01:33AM (#4787457)

From my experience, the ad blocker is actually blocking the ad coming from the incoming server, so no impression is counted.

If you are using something that replaces the ad with another image (Add-Art for example), the underlying ad is likely being served.

The latter is good for the publisher, good for the user, not so good for the ad network or the brand / utility purchasing the ad space.
