I don't want to be pedantic, but leveraging existing game libraries doesn't really matter to people who don't have existing game libraries (or existing game libraries that overlap with the games on the service). It seems like

AFAIK, acquiring Typhoon Studios in December was their first public announcement of a first-party game studio. The exec in charge of Stadia said in an interview that she was planning on building out more [1]: "We have a plan that inclu

I haven't tried GeForce Now (but I have played ~300 hours so far on Stadia), but from what I've seen on Twitter they have some kind of waitlist for servers before free users are allowed to start playing a game (and paying users ju

I've been working on a competitor for a while now, and the hardest part of replicating functionality is the data. OpenLibrary is probably the best source for book metadata online, but even their library dumps are riddled with mistakes

>1st party ads aren't blocked. So if that developer wanted to monetize with ads, they're totally free to do so. They're only free to do so in Brave's eyes if they roll their own ad solution, which is an option but not

A billionaire with a tolerable reputation seems like he wouldn't have a lot of overlap with other candidates, at least.

This is an anecdotal article that then cites a source that shows its premise is wrong, then claims they "don't buy it". There's nothing of scientific (or even statistical) substance here. Does the stats department let an

I'm not sure the traditional self-checkout kiosks logistically fit into this model, though. In a "normal" store, everyone needs to pay somehow, and security (in person or in LP) can monitor/flag/stop people who try

Interesting! Do people using cash have a separate checkout flow / exit than everyone else? It seems like it'd be difficult for human security to differentiate between someone that entered the store with their phone (so they can co

Forgive me if this is an obvious question as I've only been to the Seattle convenience store twice and haven't heard about any pushback (but I could see it resulting from basically making the store inaccessible to people who can&#

The other battery replacement occurred at 158k miles. I'm guessing the third replacement that comment is referring to was actually the line item for refunding the 355k mile battery replacement, which (as I understand) isn't a thir

That seems like a lot of work for an extension that just makes URLs prettier.

I don't want to derail this thread, but that's kind of Brave's whole MO. They pretty much constantly put out or source anti-Google content; there's often a grain of truth somewhere in many of them, but not always and rar

I interpreted it as just picking one visual entity to focus on for that cropped clip for design reasons, since the letterboxes necessary to get both entities in that portrait orientation would be huge and visually unappealing [1]. [1] http

I work in Ruby on Rails (currently with a React frontend, but previous jobs used Angular) in the Midwest. IME almost everything around the "recent" JS ecosystem (npm, npx, node, yarn, grunt, react, jsx, etc) are used (begrudgingly

This would go a really long way towards efficient code reuse as well, with far less "reinventing the wheel" all the time if shared libraries more easily work across all (common) languages.

Would you mind expounding on why this is important, and/or why you chose those specific timings?

I'm new to search libraries (frameworks?) but have been looking for something to use for a huge data dump I'm working with. Storing everything in memory seems fast, but seems like it'd be quite the resource hog on a server --

What makes you think it feels like a downgrade? AMP results seem to, on average, load faster with a better UI to me.

Is there an upper limit on the number of materialized views that it makes sense to have in a database? I've been trying to figure out a way to deal with my (growing) join of 13 rather large tables when fetching all of a user's dat

You could always train another model off reversed move notation and wrap it with something that reverses the output again. ;)

1) I'm one of the consumers that often actively want to give my data away for "features" that I think are worth the data I'm giving up. 2) I've seen enough comments on HN with the opposite (valid) mindset to think t

If you could get the price down to a comparable point, you might be able to market against the price-vs-security crowd, but I think you'd find yourself up against another large percentage of consumers that care more about features than

Thiel has a good chapter on dichotomizing optimism/pessimism as it relates to building the future in his Zero to One book. Someone else can probably quote it better, but it basically boils down adding a definite/indefinite qualifi

This is awesome and inspiring. I'll probably use this in a future project. A few questions: 1) How do you plan to monetize the service? Always important to ask of free services so I don't get blindsighted later. :) 2) How often ar
