Ask HN: How to resolve my difficult cofounder situation?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3272134I'm in a difficult situation with my cofounder. We're both developers and we received some grant funding allowing us to work full-time on our product since July. We have reached this point after arguments including, email exchanges, telephone calls and in person meetings. The arguments and other personal distractions effectively paralysed product development for the last two months. We are both fairly ashamed of how little we have achieved. Fortunately, while it has been a close thing at times we still have our friendship intact.This is where we are at:1) We have enough money in the company for us both to work full-time on our product until the end of January or for one of us to work full-time until end of March.2) My cofounder has decided that regardless of the state the product is in, he doesn't want to be part of the company with me after January, he is considering getting a full-time job or switching back to consulting.3) He wants to spend the next two months until then working remNov 23, 2011 10:48 PM

I don't like strategy guides for games like Skyrimhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3256830My favorite thing about games like Skyrim is the discovery and experimentation elements. I started to play on launch day, but then stopped after only a couple hours.Why would I stop playing one of the best games released in a long time? I realized that I wanted, for the first time, to get into the nitty-gritty of alchemy, crafting, and other things in the game. At first I tried to make a handwritten log of people, places, and ingredients, but that broke down very quickly. The game is so huge, that it's just not a practical way to approach the problem.So, I spent the last week building rpglogger.com - it's basically a way to log your progress in a sort of "build your own strategy guide" sense. You create a 'log book' where you can add/edit/delete 'sections' in the book (e.g. NPCs, quests, items, locations, whatever you want), and define your own integer/text/string/boolean attributes on those sections. For example, if you want to track ingredients, you can add a 'string' field for the nNov 20, 2011 12:35 AM

Can a Product Inspire Responsibility? Why Aesthetics Matterhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3217779One of the negative traits that came as a result of a somewhat priviledged lifestyle as a youth was that I didn't take care of my things. If I tore up my khakis playing neighborhood football in the back yard, my folks bought me a new pair. My Audi got destroyed bit by bit while going through pledgeship in college. And I have been through more than a couple of PC's. (I'm not proud of these habits)But I noticed something odd about two items when they were sitting next to each other today on my TV stand today. They have been through a lot with me and are still in excellent condition?! People say that Steve Jobs was amazing for creating such innovative products that "just feel good in your hands." They are right, but I would venture to take it a step further. I have had an 80 gig Ipod Classic for over 3 years now and a Macbook Pro for over a year and a half. I have never felt such dedication, loyalty and responsibility for a material item in my life.The feel of something in your hands is iNov 9, 2011 10:25 PM
