Show HN: Brainfuck interpreter using TypeScript types
https://github.com/QuiiBz/tsfuck
Yesterday, I made a Brainfuck interpreter using TypeScript types in ~40 lines of code for fun, because why not. Here's the file to look at: https://github.com/QuiiBz/tsfuck/blob/main/tsfuck.ts

It supports all brainfucks commands, but might not cover some edge cases/have bugs.

Have you ever made something similar using TypeScript type system?
If can self fund, why not just hire project managers and not partners?
Has anyone who has self funded done this approach while in incubator:

Hire freelance project managers to manage freelance programmers to create and complete the projects.

This is approach I am taking. I have struggled finding a co-found w/ desire and skill I need and I was thinking do I really need a cofounder, when can just use freelancer at 1st?

I have the passive income and some saving to boot strap for a while until working prototype is created and I am able to make a effective video pitch of my product, so I can get accepted into some of these launch conference. Then, with some networking and hopefully some early angel investors on board, I can find others who can have equity in the startup if they are willing to put some skin in the game. This will give me much more time to find the right people to join my team and allow me to have something to show that maybe worthwhile for an eager tech entrepreneur, looking for a good idea to be a part of the team.

I have wasted a ton of time just looking for potential co-founder. time to get the show on the road.

I would appreciate any mentoring or input from veteran startups that followed a similar path. Thanks

Why Zynga is Shedding Users
http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/why-zynga-is-shedding-users.php
The takeaway ...

"The report stated that Zynga’s social gaming daily active users declined by 8.2 percent to 54.2 million in May. According to Cowen analyst Doug Creutz, that's because casual gamers are moving away from the Facebook platform to play games on their smartphones and tablets."

Facebook and its desktop ecosystem are still adjusting to, and migrating to, the mobile platform.

German court rules tell-a-friend functionality to be spam (in German)
http://www.absolit-blog.de/rechtslage/don%E2%80%99t-tell-a-friend-in-berlin.html
I thought this was interesting, although limited to Germany: a court has ruled against a company offering a "tell a friend" button. They had implemented the tell a friend functionality so that people could enter other people's email address, but then a "x wants to tell you how great we are" mail was send from the companies account.

It would have been less likely to be rules as spam if the recommendation mail had been sent from the recommending persons account. Also apparently there should not be incentives to enter as many email addresses as possible (like "invite a friend and you get 10% off your next purchase"). All in all the "tell-a-friend" functionality seems to be a gray area according to that court.

Still, the research is preliminary, and even studies that hint at positive results from ingesting collagen can’t conclusively prove cause and effect. “There is evidence it is absorbed, and that there is an increase in certain amino acids, but no direct evidence that taking a collagen supplement increases collagen in the skin,” says Natasha Mesinkovska, MD, assistant professor of dermatology at the University of California, Irvine, and author of the review study.
