Curious, how does the game monetise, do you have loot-boxes in-game or something? Or is it enough that people play it? What kind of game mechanics are possible to build around?

https://kodeverk.com in Norwegian only (blog is en English though), but I do fractional CTO work for the local market. Lots of fun, and trying to package it in an atteactive way.

Agree whole-heartedly. The strong contracts are the #1 reason to use GraphQL. The other one I would mention is the ability to very easily reuse resolvers in composition, and even f…

That was a fun little game! The hinting felt appropriate, only thing I didn't really like was that it got a bit "cramped" towards the end moving things around. Will try it again to…

It’s probably the same way monks copying books felt when the printing press came along. “Look at this mechanical, low-quality copy. It lacks all finesse and flourish of the pen!” I…

Thank you for taking the time to do a thorough read, I just skimmed it, and the prose is certainly not for me. To me it lacks focus, but as you say, this may be the style the reade…

Sad to see it go! Especially with recent improvements. Anyone know how large the team was behind this app? The delivered impressively!

Is it not more likely the # of deaths are related to obesity for example, where US has 5-7 times as many obese as Japan for example. Which matches the % deaths statistic you have t…

While I’m not a consumer of this product, I met some of the product designers at the medieval week in Visby, Sweden today. And that the company supports a project like this, which …

The web distribution certainly makes it much more viable to offer apps outside the App Store, and have reasonable conversion rates. Now PornHub or similar could easily offer their …

Looker might look attractive, but it is missing so many basic features it is not competitive. You can't even query a view in BigQuery, you can't use window functions in data source…

Likely because they anticipate increased competition to the App Store now, and want to pre-empt the attractiveness for developers of moving to the Epic Store or the Facebook Store …

Well first version it will be different WebKit wrappers, as they are the only option available on iOS right now. But they simultaneously open the door to other browser engines, so …

The fine is for the entire EU, it was only handled by the Irish authority because TikTok headquarters are there.

There was a dearth of CNC machines on the market back in 2011-2012 due to Apple buying so many (via Foxconn, https://appleinsider.com/articles/11/10/21/catcher_hoping_to... ). But …

Looks very nice! Does the keyboard act as a wired keyboard if hooked up by usb-c? Asking because I would be using it with a KVM-style switch.

It is looking like A16 will be on a smaller node. Likely manufacturing it on the current node would be too expensive due to increased transistor count. Available volume on the new …

I believe the purpose of this is to generate solar power at night. Australia won’t help China there since it is in a nearby timezone.

Problem is the tradeoffs involved. You can make a cable that support 40 Gbps / 100W, but it will be $50 and very thick, with a maximum length of 1m (or cost $400 if you want an opt…

6S did not have the OIS or autofocus features that lead to this problem. There are no moving lens elements in that phone.

Replacing libjpeg, libpng, h264 & h265 codecs etc. is a gargantuan task. Even if Apple employs another 200 rust programmers (which don't exist in the market – so not possible) it w…

Indeed. This is not really newsworthy. The current best selling cars in Norway are the Skoda Enyaq and the Mustang Mach-E.

Technical side-note: Are NFTs free to create and/or use? Or do they require contribution of processing power and/or paying "the Network" for it using your own ETH?

There is nothing stopping you from making a new lithography series of Picasso’s sketches, but they won’t be worth nearly the same as the originals. The utility provided by the NFTs…
