Just woke up this morning to this and I'm still reeling from the news. It's almost too hard to accept.

Always sucks to lose a pioneer.


Wow are you me?


I'm consistently amazed at the quality of free CSS resources posted online these days.

I first started learning webdev in 2005 and just a decade later the number of educational resources blows my mind.


I find meaning in work because it's what I leave behind once I'm dead. What I create, build, and put out into the world is part of my legacy. That's pretty important to me, perhaps not the same for others.

This makes me feel so fancy online at 8AM in my pajamas.


Seriously Github has been such a pleasant surprise time-and-again. I love to find these little nooks & crannies hidden among all the other repos.


I've never thought to do this but the methodology does make sense. I've been studying Japanese for about a month and while reading through various textbooks I'll run into so many examples of miscellaneous grammar notes which I never thought to write down. Partially because of apathy while also convincing myself that I'll remember it all and don't need to bother taking notes.

But I wonder if results would differ between taking notes digitally vs physically hand-writing with pen and paper.


Thanks I really do not know much about Mixins, but I have seen the discussion countless times here on HN. I will have to look into it soon.


Thank you for this explanation it really puts the topic in a better perspective for me.


This was such a solid analysis through-and-through. I feel that so many companies are getting real antsy and feel the need to grab for complete 100% ownership over all creative rights for everything with no leeway whatsoever. We, the people who actually pay for & consume these games, have no right to redesign or modify or record or promote anything without their consent - which would probably be denied most of the time anyways. From my point of view, it's just very difficult to continue supporting the video game industry anymore.

Don't judge an industry by it's rotting old guard. Nintendo has been making blunder after blunder for quite some time and does not represent gaming as a whole.

Reddit has helped built a list[1] of studios and publishers who have given permissions for LPers to make videos, and the list is pretty comprehensive. Tons of developers and companies are 100% okay with and even promote it.

Also, with both next gen consoles supporting game play video natively, it's going to get bigger and bigger in the industry.

Certainly a valid argument, and thanks for the link I will check it out.

I haven't played many games since the early 2000s and I feel a bit like an old geezer stuck in the mentality of "back in my day..."
