Indeed, the price of food delivery apps is insane. I really don’t know where all the money is going. How can they overcharge so much for food and yet still have a loss? In addition to the service fee, delivery fee, and what you pay in tips,

Check out interactive brokers. You have to pay for the market feeds but it’s all available via API. It’s a completely horrible, painful API, but it’s the only way I found to get the data as a hobbyist. There’s a process where you certify th

I understand the concept of making a native app to include using the native UI platforms. What you described is hardly more native than electron, which is basically a web app at heart. Or maybe there needs to be a consensus on terms. Do peo

Sounds like “the punch escrow“. It was okay, although definitely not one of the better books I’ve read. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32446949-the-punch-escro...

But then how would they force us to look at ads? How would they keep all their valuable data locked in their walled garden? Sadly I don’t think we’re ever going back to the glory days of open APIs.

For a certain kind of developer who drinks a certain kind of Kool-Aid, sure. Personally I am a lot less productive when I’m forced to work on a React codebase. It’s kind of like using an ORM, it can feel like it makes things easier, but rea

Still, at least this provides another option. Lesser of two evils and all that. Maybe if android was less of a mess this would be a less desirable option, but frankly I’m pretty happy there’s an alternate option regardless of whether it’s b

What is the relation between Linden Lab and Tilia? And is this the same Linden Labs that did Second Life? Is this a rebranding or a new subsidy?

As far as I can tell setting the region doesn’t really work. Even on my USA iPhone with USA region, when I travel internationally the Apple news app refuses to load. Even the widget refuses to load. All based on my current physical location

For (2), it looks cool but there’s no way to order it and the website doesn’t look updated since it won that award at CES 2017. I’ve seen so many of these headsets over the years that exhibit at CES and then are never heard from again. I’ll

“The things we build in huge quantities, like computers and TVs, drop rapidly in price.” That’s great for basically everyone except the people building them. In fact that’s probably the worst possible argument to convince someone to start b

So I read through the whole landing page and I don’t really understand what this is. It sounds like it’s just another virtual private server? How is this different from getting a VPS on any hosting provider and remote desktoping into it? I

I walk a lot all over San Francisco, including at night. I’ve been seeing coyotes in the streets for at least a year now. Several times in North Beach, a couple times in the dogpatch/China basin area by the ballpark, etc. My phone does

As long as they are opt in, which most of them currently are, then I’m fine with it. I generally set my browser to blanket ban most of this functionality but I do occasionally override that on a site-by-site basis when it’s useful. I think

I’m not sure a lack of curiosity is so much a generational thing. Some people just don’t really care, they learn what they need to get done what they want and don’t poke it any further. That’s not really even a bad thing exactly. I’m remind

I can appreciate how safe iOS is, I think that’s a great default stance. It’s actually one of the reasons I’m in the apple ecosystem after hacking around on Android for years. In our sad reality of apps being more worried about monetizing t

I had originally assumed this was some sort of webassembly port of the actual Microsoft Paint source code. But it looks like a completely custom JavaScript app built from the ground up to look and work very similarly to Microsoft Paint. Tha

Works surprisingly well on iOS, although it’s difficult to select the menu items (small tap target), there doesn’t appear to be any way to right click, and the window size bleeds off the right edge of the screen. Still, much more impressive

NVIDIA forces you to buy significantly more expensive cards that perform marginally better if you are using them for datacenter use. They try to enforce not letting businesses use consumer grade gaming cards. I assume this is so cloud pro

Parking at the hotels on the strip is no longer free :-( But yes, there’s plenty of stuff to do in Vegas beyond the obvious. My favorite: Red Rock Canyon just west of Vegas is beautiful for hiking!

Would the car detect the tampering and refuse to operate? Seems like there is a fair argument to be made for that by car manufacturers in the name of safety.

It’s been many years since I’ve used Spotify but I remember they had the ability to add your own custom music to your library. Is that no longer the case?

Sadly it’s my understanding that they plan to shut down google play music completely in favor of YouTube music at some point this year (at least according to a friend-of-a-friend who works on it). It’s already quite buggy and frustrating, b
