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 federate them. Something that can be very clunky to get right

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 tomorrow. :)

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 agree with you that it is sad. And what is especially sad 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 readers enjoy. And it also, as you say, really reuses words. Just

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 there quite well. In other words: it's not easy. There a

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 is clearly a passion project, displays joy. After this I thi

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 app from the website. With this available (which is a much s

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 sources. All error messages are entirely opaque. Access

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 etc.

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 I imagine Firefox at least will release their app with a new

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 they were shared for iP

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 node will be much smaller, so they had to prioritize. This i

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 optical 10m long cable). Or you can make a thin, 480Mbps &

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 would take years before that project is close to fin

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 is in actually owning the “original”, not that it is not re

In general, greater income tax leads to greater wealth inequality. The reason is, higher income tax means it is more difficult to become wealthy. So in countries with high income tax, the majority of wealthy people is those that inherited t

In Europe, most of the Tesla features are disabled because they were deemed hazardous. Only lane assist and adaptive cruise control is enabled. The others are severely limited or disabled (Summon etc.)

Indeed. While the damage & health numbers are the same between games, the improved “MicroAI” of the units makes them much more efficient. Doubling the health of all units, would make the game more interesting.

Average age in India is 26. Average age in the US is 38. This probably accounts for the difference in death rate.

Sorry. I meant high resolution screens. There were hardly any “retina” laptops (and no desktop screens) when apple started introducing theirs in 2012.

There were no LCD screen for laptops either in 2010. But market created it to fit demand, and now there are a lot of options. It is extremely likely other companies will step up with new offerings. But it will take 2-3 years (where Apple wi
