Comment on Playrock Is No More by Amit Schreiber

That’s a good question. Definitely build something simpler and show it to people earlier. Maybe look for an integration opportunity with other services (e.g. go to someone like WhatsApp and see if they want a gaming infrastructure).

For example, Playrock could have been a simple “play with people around you” type of service in the beginning. No groups, no sign in, nothing else.

From a technical point of view, I could have built a simpler server-side. Writing it in a more forgiving language (Java or C#) would have probably made life easier and allowed for faster development. And later it could still be replaced with a C++ alternative later, if needed (the protocol was protobuf).

The Lee Kai-chen ‘Improved’ Abacus is rare and hard to come by indeed. This is to let you know that the Lee abacus is available to anyone who owns an iPad. The app is called AbacusPro. The app includes two versions of the Chinese Suanpan, the Japanese Soroban, and the Lee Kai-chen ‘Improved’ abacus.

You can calculate square roots on any abacus or soroban, digit by digit, with relative ease. Write me if you need a description of the algorithm.

Suleyman, you should post your question on Stack Overflow ( http://stackoverflow.com/ ). I have no idea how to do what you’re asking.

תודה, איתי
אני מאחל לך שהחיים שלך יעברו בלי קשיים ושגם אם כן, שתישאר תמיד גבר אמיתי ולא סמרטוט כמוני. ובמיוחד תמיד תדאג לטובת המדינה, גם כשהיא באה על חשבונך ועל חשבון המשפחה שלך. לעולם אל תקדים את טובתם לפני טובת המדינה, כי המדינה זה הכי חשוב

שמע אתה סמרטוט שאין דברים כאלה
זו זכות לשרת בצבא, ויותר מכל חובה!
ממש לא מעניין את המדינה מה שרייבר רוצה!
בגלל סמרטוטים כמוך יבוא לנו אחד שרוצה להיות כלכלן וידרוש להיות עוזר של אגף הכספים באכ״א.
אתה סמרטוט, איכס
