FYI many (possibly all) of the Whole Foods here in Seattle did in fact change overnight: they added higher shelves, rearranged the layouts & product placements etc. All of this happened within the final day of the switch from what I can tell.

The Moonman devlog has been a great read so far. Good insight into how much work it takes to make a polished game. Looking forward to playing it.


Glad you enjoyed it! When finished the devlog will span the full five years of development, including releasing on steam later this year and then hopefully consoles next year.


The read-manifest command seems to output a JSON of your Cargo.toml if you have tools you'd like to use that require it:

    cargo read-manifest --manifest-path .


Personally I'm trying to kick my habit of picking up cool art supplies and paper whenever I'm in Japantown.

I think something as simple just monthly 3-4 novelty erasers would sell really well.

I also recall reading that paper yearly planners are popular in Japan right now.

Edit: I was thinking of these http://matome.naver.jp/odai/2135267959864327501 -- http://www.1101.com/store/techo/2014/planner/


This is linkbait garbage. Giving Shopify the benefit of the doubt, I clicked on it expecting it to maybe be a parody of these types of articles. Disappointing.


What are you talking about linkbait garbage?!?! I work at Shopify and just spent the last 2 days watching TED Talks and writing that article.


It is "Top X of Y" style article that adds almost nothing to the content. Edit: Try googling "Top X TED Talks" or a variation. Almost all of these are SEO spam articles on this exact topic. I'm sure I'm just being too negative but, I find it really annoying.


The fact that is has been collected is the value added.

If I go to ted.com and search for entrepreneur, I'll have to sift through 81 results, and only one of the top 10 matches the list collected here.

The reaction here reminds me of the assumptive skewering folks often receive elsewhere for innocently reposting pictures without attributing them to some unknownable [1] source.

How is someone with good intentions behind submitting a collection supposed to go about sharing it? Is there an actual problem here beyond the specific phrasing of the title or just your assumption that the submission is link-baiting?

1: Tineye and Google image search are relatively new and not exactly common knowledge.


It is an aggregation of TED talks that somebody found interesting for entrepreneurs. Picking out of the sea of TED talks the ones which are interesting. That's commendable. OP can change the title to "Top TED Talks for Entrepreneurs" and it will even fit the guidelines.

It's a pity though that the author didn't submit it himself, especially since (s)he then monitors the comments...


Well, someone does have to wade through all the videos to hopefully find the good ones and write a synopsis for each. That kind of filtering can be valuable.


I can't add much further to their TED Talks - some of these guys are the best at what they do. I simply add a quick summary, show the video, and link to further content (their books, podcasts, websites) if people want to learn more.

It's "linkbait garbage" - it's a list of lectures I think are valuable for small / medium sized businesses to watch. There's a big difference.


I personally appreciate the article. Thanks for the effort.


I appreciate the article as well, and forwarded it along to others.


Hello OP and other readers! Most HNers are enjoying this hand-crafted content without bitching about it. This comment does not represent us. If you have a moment, please flag it.


I agree, my phrasing is too vitriolic. I feel that links like this are part of the decline in quality around here but, I'm not helping any.

Apparently I can't delete the comment myself at this point.


For the people who don't like Erlang's syntax, there are alternatives. I've used Elixer (http://elixir-lang.org/) with some success. It has a Rubyish syntax and gets rid of a lot of the warts newcomers seem to dislike.

The language is actually the easiest part, the biggest hurdle seems to be organizing a complicated application to take advantage of OTP. Erlang is really about OTP; not the language.


That's a pretty striking lack of diversity in the call to action on the main page. ^C^P^P.


We actually want to and looking to add more people! LearningJar is started by two women and we strongly believe in diversity.


The call out is "what I want to be" and of the 3 choices I'm given, all 3 are white male 25-30 something techies.

I can't understand why you'd want to advertise that so blatantly. I'd recommend something less abstract, like a useful explanation of what your site does etc.


The idea is to inspire people by showing how you can gain skills informally. Individuals featured on the front were either college dropouts and/or achieved their goals via informal education.

We will be adding quotes from them, videos with them and also will be highlighting others in the industry that have achieved their dreams by constantly learning.

Its not an ad play, but instead a way to just inspire. After all, we all seek mentors and get inspired by great stories.


It seems to be a trend; gloss over the article then infer most of the meaning from the title.

The title I submitted isn't great but, I can't seem to correct it.
