Send someone you appreciate an official 'Continue and Persist' Letter 672 by adnanaga | 122 comments on Hacker News. Every day, thousands of Cease and Desist letters are issued, telling people to stop what they’re doing (Looking at you, David Chang). What a bummer! That’s why we created: The Continue and Persist Letter. A official-looking legal letter that encourages and uplifts people, one that tells people to keep doing what they’re doing! Surprise someone you appreciate by sending them a Continue and Persist Letter.

Show HN: A Marble Madness-inspired WebGL game we built for Netlify 601 by franck | 224 comments on Hacker News. Hello HN! We’re a small creative studio specializing in real-time 3D experiences. Netlify approached us to design and build an interactive experience to celebrate reaching 5 million developers. Inspired by the classic game Marble Madness, we created a gamified experience where users control a ball through playful, interactive levels. The goal was to blend marketing content with the look and feel of a game to engage users. The app is built with Three.js [1], using our custom render pipeline and shaders, and uses Rapier for physics simulation [2]. The 2D content is overlaid on the WebGL view using CSS 3D transforms for a seamless integration with the 3D view. We’d love for you to try it out and share your thoughts!

Show HN: I built a(nother) house optimized for LAN parties 639 by kentonv | 232 comments on Hacker News. I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://ift.tt/MLR0zZQ Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!

QNX is now free for anything non-commercial, plus there's an RPi image 644 by JohnAtQNX | 339 comments on Hacker News. Hiya folks! I'm John from the Developer Relations team at QNX. I'm a loooong time lurker of this forum and excited to make my first post. I just wanted to let you know that we've kicked off a new program to start opening the doors to QNX like things used to be. Many of you probably used or tinkered with (the very open) QNX back in the day. You can now easily get a free non-commercial license to use the newest QNX. We've also just released some sample apps and a ready-to-go QNX 8.0 quick start target image for Raspberry Pi. So you can get QNX and the development tools for free now to learn, experiment, and build. It's been a long time in the making, so I'm really excited to get to post about this first phase of the QNX Everywhere initiative. My team and management have open ears, so please share feedback about what more we can do to open t...
