Building Phaser Games to Mobile / Desktop (With Ionic Capacitor)
While deploying Javascript as native desktop / mobile apps is quite easy these days - there doesn't seem to be a good integration for Phaser (Javascript Game Engine) which I've tried to do using the newly released (still in Beta) Ionic Capacitor.

https://github.com/gnesher/phaser-capacitor

Any comments / suggestions would be appreciated, as I do want to add some platform specific best practices (and if there's interest maybe turn it into a proper cli?)
The killer vpn app would be one that guarantees that no user data ever could be collected. All software open source of course. But it would be complemented with some possibility for anyone to do an physical revision on your sites any time.

> Some people say that startup founders must "work, eat and sleep together."

I've been working on software startups outside SV for 15 years. I've never heard this. It's nonsense. It sounds like the work-22-year-olds-to-death stereotype of SV.

As far as co-founding with someone you've never met, it's like getting married to someone you've never met. It's a terrible idea and likely going to end badly.

If you're lacking a skill you absolutely need to get a business going, don't give a stranger half your company. Either find the cash to pay someone to do it, or accept that you don't have the resources to execute that idea.

>Do I missread this in some way?

You describe an economic system that is not closed, as you describe money being created. The simulations were run assuming a closed economic system, with debt either ignored or handled in some atypical ways.
Alright, I meant Eastern (members of) European Union (EEU) vs Western (members of) European Union (WEU). You could see it sometimes abbreviated that way. Didn't occur to me it denotes Eurasian union (I thought that one was largely defunct anyway?).
>you need telemetry to find out how users react to abusive notifications

You need telemetry to find out how users react to abusive notifications? Wow. I know that A/B testing is in vogue, but can’t they just use some common sense?

People despise abusive notification prompts.

People despise abusive location prompts.

People despised abusive popups to the point that every browser blocks them and websites started emulating popups via CSS to keep abusing their users (hi Medium!).
From the summary:

Exercise has a large and significant antidepressant effect in people with depression (including MDD).
Our data strongly support the claim that exercise is an evidence-based treatment for depression.

MDD I assume it means major depressive disorder

From personal experience, being (extremely) fit made me feel better about myself.

Just based on the fact that I can do a lot of things (sprint, hike, some cool gymnastic moves, solid flexibility, can run good distances) makes me feel better about myself.

Also, once you get in a good shape, it's really not difficult to stay in it. Contrary to what anyone says. But you have to do it "the right way": change your approach to exercising, eating, sleeping, etc. There will be things that you have to sacrifice. I recommend anyone struggling with "bad thoughts" to at least consider this - give it a couple of months, see how it plays out.
What if I'm a developer who has no idea how Firefox UI works?
Me? It wasn't rhetorical, I really don't know. But I installed it from GitHub. When I first tried that on my phone, I mistook the popup in question for my device saying it wouldn't do it for security reasons, which made me think I should get it from the Add-Ons directory instead (but couldn't find).

If you hate Burger King, more power to you. But it's not just about putting real food out there, it's also about making it accessible to people who are lower on resources like money and time. Apparently it's super hard to do that. Even this rollout, which I applaud as getting healthier food in reach of more people, can be financially daunting to some families at an extra dollar per burger.

There's a food truck by my house that sells Impossible 2.0 burgers, and they charge $4 extra for it over meat burgers. If I can get something even close to that burger for half the price, I'm there, because it's that good.
I don't want a "never on this site" button, I want "disable popups forever and don't pester me again". Glad this can be done in the settings now.
Mostly because businesses treat programmers as disposable cogs to be replaced at any time with cheaper cogs. Thus, the availability of massive amounts of cheaper cogs dictate business preferences in computer languages. Unfortunately, all massively popular computer languages at this point are not functional (js, php, ruby, python, java, etc.) and therefore selling functional languages to businesses is almost impossible. You can point out all the great points and even how it'll save businesses money and time, but in the end, they'll opt for a language they can hire a bunch of cheap contractors to write some shitty code in. That's just how most businesses think. They'll shoot themselves in the foot just to not have to treat their employees with respect or become dependent on having to hire good, smart programmers over outsourced or just out of bootcamp workers. It doesn't matter to them if programmers create a mess, it's only other programmers that will have to deal with it and as long as there's a never-ending supply of such programmers willing to deal with shit, the business is ok with it even if said shit negatively affects the business. It's why moist businesses don't do anything to retain employees or treat them with and respect it appreciation. Bring on the cattle train of cheap developers. That's all business cares about.

>yeah, I downsized to a smaller home. Still 3 bedroom, 1800sqft, enough for my family of four. But much less space to clean. Also, heating bills are much lower. Also, damn, I actually can furnish this home with bespoke cabinetry instead of that disposable crap from IKEA. Badass!

I actually live comfortably in an 1800 sq foot house with a family of nine. 1800 sq feet would be far too large for just 4 people.
Organization of code seems to be an issue - with OOP it's part of the methodology and design process, code and data goes together into this named class which goes into a file and does what it's called. In FP there isn't an obvious way to seperate out your concerns while making it easy to find and maintain code. Once IDE's, annotations etc catch up this will be less of an issue, but for now I'm tending towards a hybrid approach of classes which operate mostly immutably except for where persistence of state is required, ie very little other state than that which eg mapped to a database.
I actually read through that entire document out of curiosity. As far as I can tell it only applies to audio recording (and telegraphs, and cable TV, and a couple other misc items, but not video from what I see). Also, there's the bit right at the top:

> Therefore, it is not the intent of the Legislature to place greater restraints on the use of listening devices and techniques by law enforcement agencies than existed prior to the effective date of this chapter.

I'm not sure how large or small that loophole is according to the courts.

Then as I was glancing through it, I noticed that this is the law that makes CA a two party consent state:

§632(a)

> without the consent of all parties to a confidential communication

§632(d)

> evidence obtained as a result of eavesdropping upon or recording a confidential communication in violation of this section is not admissible

So that sucks.

§633.5

> do not prohibit one party to a confidential communication from recording the communication for the purpose of obtaining evidence reasonably believed to relate to the commission by another party to the communication of the crime of

But at least it's slightly better as of... 2018. It only took them until 2018 to add that. FFS.

This one was a pleasant surprise though:

§637.7

> No person or entity in this state shall use an electronic tracking device to determine the location or movement of a person.

So is it a misdemeanor to track your child via their cellphone in CA? I'm also wondering about all that cell phone location data that was sold (https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/a3b3dg/big-teleco...). Have I misunderstood something?

Eh, it's always hard to get in and stay in shape, just like it's always hard to create and maintain any habit. Not all of us ever get "used" to a pattern of behavior, so there's always a fight to maintain anything resembling a pattern.
I was in this exact situation.

The WLB was awesome, good paycheck, good job, really good teammates. But that feeling of knowing you could do way more just by changing job is maddening.

But I had no recognition in my work which was really the worst part actually, for instance, over the course of a year, I increased the team efficiency by 2500%, working on the build/deploy time and feedback loop.
They just told me that they didn't care about tooling, so it couldn't play in my favor for a promotion.

I deserved a raise and a promotion, I complained, during one on one(s), like 10s of them, on the course of a full year. They just didn't care. Basically what they told me, over and over, is that they were already paying the most in the area.

I finally left, for a 40% raise and a job that is way more recognised and enjoyable.
I had 1 kB to write my games in BASIC on my Sinclair ZX18 at the beginning of the 80s. One of those games looked like that Tiny Ski in the post. I don't know how many people would have enjoyed playing it (but there weren't many great games back then for the ZX81) however I definitely enjoyed programming, playing and fixing those games.
It's strange because the company I work for just started implementing OKRs last week. It actually happens creepily often when I do something and then some related article pops up on HN a some weeks later. I do read HN everyday though but still.

I guess it shows that we severely lack creativity and are all being manipulated.

Personally I don't think OKRs add any value because they force us to focus on measurable results at the expense of unmeasurable results which might actually be more important.
I know a lot of researchers and they can access maybe 90% of the papers they want through subscriptions and for the rest the likely use Sci-hub.

You are now comparing a star-form rail network in the Netherlands that runs in a country of 300km by 400km to a fish-grate network that runs in Japan.

Also, the famous punctuality comes from the Japanese High Speed train network, a network purpose built for a single model of train. There are no intersections, road crossings or freight or slow trains on that network.

Obviously any Dutch train would also fare well on a purpose built track.

But our tracks are shared with trains from the NS (Dutch Rail) as well as trains from the German (Arriva) and French (Veolia) operators, the German (ICE), French (TGV) and British (EuroStar) High Speed trains, thousands of tons of freight from DB Cargo and several other regional players.

You're just comparing Apples and Oranges when you compare our open, star shaped rail grid to the Japanese purposebuilt Shinkansen
That takes effort though, and people use TLAs to reduce effort.
Not sure what you mean by "primary" money, but I can't think of a definition that would make that statement ("is strictly conserved") true.

All money is in the books of the central bank, and it all has counterpart assets to it, and is all based on contracts with a maturity of less than a year. So if no-one renews there is no money, regardless of definition, in circulation after that time.

Edit. Coin would be the only exception, but that's a negligibly small item in the balance.

Most gamers these days seem to be people who play on their smartphone. These games can be simple compared to AAA games, but they still need to be flashy and good-looking with an interesting game mechanic.
Personally I just cycle everywhere. It's the fastest way to get around the city where I live (if you are willing to bend the traffic rules a bit). I am aware that it won't work for everyone, but I am surprised at how few people cycle.

There is a bit of a motivational hump to get over, but once you are over it (forcing yourself to cycle half an hour for as week maybe?) then it doesn't seem like a problem at all.

> Arcades are also a fundamentally social experience, which changes the tenor significantly.

The social experience has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Carnival games and casinos are also engineered to prey on the same human responses - often transparently engineered to be addictive - yet are social environments too.

Plus the people who develop problems will often be sat on their own - hooked on the machine they're playing and oblivious to anyone around them in spite of the social setting.

> No, most online games don’t count as social. They’re anonymous, faceless, and typically populated with the utter dregs of humanity willing to say the most vile thing to get attention. Genuine human interaction this is not.

That very much depends on the game and community you meet. Some fall into the category you describe while there are others that do not.

There are plenty of inspiring stories like the following that show good communities and genuine friendships can spring from online gaming:

>I am not sure that it's fair to compare a business card game to AAA games. The depth and complexity just isn't there. It's a randomly generated ski slope that you press left or right to navigate. Fun for a few minutes? Sure. But fun for multiple sessions? Not really.

You'd be surprised. People still enjoyed playing Tetris, which has equally minimal mechanics, after decades...

If they have great/addicting gameplay, they don't have to be flashy and good-looking.
Could be a regional thing. Where I live, cycling is for many people the standard way to go around. But then, most people are students around this city.

There are quite a few cities in Belgium and the Netherlands that promote cycling though. :)
> Also i don't get why death certificates for non-born children is something that people are so angry about.

I doubt they are angry, the article seems to just be making that up. But they can disagree.

Society can't really play both sides of the coin, if a miscarriage is a legal death of a human then so is an abortion.

And I get how a person feels at the time might play into it at a personal level but society doesn't have that leeway and at an ethical level how a mother and father feels doesn't change if it's a death of a human or not.

I didn't say that I believe it's being used maliciously. I pointed out that "Second, Mozilla seems to use telemetry data responsibly and well." is an assumption that can't be justified by observing publicized uses of the telemetry. It presumes that published uses of telemetry encompass all uses of telemetry.

I have no reason to look at Mozilla's source because their stated policy already admits they collect information that could be considered sensitive, under certain circumstances:

> Category 3 “Web activity data”: Information about user web browsing that could be considered sensitive. Examples include users’ specific web browsing history; general information about their web browsing history (such as TLDs or categories of webpages visited over time); and potentially certain types of interaction data about specific webpages visited.

> Pre-Release: May be eligible for default on data collection, provided there is an opt-out.

> Release: Default off. On a case-by-case basis collections may be eligible to be "default on" if mitigations are identified. Mitigations may include UX changes that make users aware of additional risk, technical mechanisms that remove the risk, or a risk assessment done of a case-by-case basis that determines the risk is limited.

So here we have mozilla admitting that their default-on telemetry in pre-release copies of Firefox may include browsing history. This is information that COULD be used improperly. That's not to say Mozilla is, but confirmation that they aren't would require independent audits of the organization and their security practices. Simply reviewing their press releases is not enough to conclude that they haven't misused sensitive information.

(Frankly I don't give a damn about VSCode, at all.)
>When did this opinion start taking such a hold? Out of all places, I didn’t think HN would be so anti-games but I’ve been seeing more and more people saying this here.

HN has many grown-ups, which might skew it a little from the "games all the time are great / custom game rig" demographic.

>Also, is it directed at complex games with storylines, online multiplayer, or mobile games meant to pull as much value as possible? Cause one is unlike the others.

In the end, their value is time wasted translated into money. It's not like even the more evolved ones make some big artistic statement with deep meaning. Even the best are at the level of a Hollywood movie (and usually closer to Michael Bay than Kubrick).
