As someone who used both devices for gaming, I would say that while the iPod may have had quantity, the DS without a doubt had the quality of games. Amazing library.

I'm ashamed I haven't heard of Zelda Classic. As a Nintendo fanboy (my github handle is kintendo), I thank you! Also thank you for this work! When WASM was first announced this is the kind of project that I envisioned we'd se

Yes, Facebook has issues that they need to address and strategize around, but there's still a lot of positive that Facebook brings to the table that I wouldn't overlook. There are many Facebook Groups with thriving communities of

Great, then it should stop advertising to me what it knows I just bought.

So you want more targeted ads for tech savvy people? I wouldn’t give ad tech that much credit. Many tech savvy people have cut the cord and watch TV through streaming. Anecdotally, I watch Hulu. Hulu knows so so so much about me yet zero of

Cassandra has been successfully deployed at many companies. Would you care to provide some insight into your experience and why you consider it one of the worst?

If we want quality content then these news sources need to be incentivized somehow. When it comes to SEO, the content is all there but the paywalls are usually client side so it’s harder for crawlers to dock down paywalls. Overall I agree t

I don’t think you can make the same comparison to iTunes. No record label had the ability to reach millions of paying users like Netflix already has. Netflix has no incentive to license their original content to a different aggregate platfo

Right, this has always been the case but it's inconvenient to do so. It's incredibly convenient to just subscribe to Spotify. If you took the convenience of Spotify away, people will go back to piracy.

The thing is, Taylor's version sounds completely different. Did Ben Thompson actually look at streaming numbers? All her fans didn't flock to the new version. They listened to it, but it's so different that the old version is

Actually, I can tell you that their original strategy was to have exclusive listings. Last year because Compass had so many agents, they were able to "preview" listings on their site days before MLS. Their hope was that this edge

This is fascinating to me. I would love to contribute to Dream research. I also keep a dream journal and consistently have very vivid and colorful dreams. The most frustrating thing to me is that I would love to share these dreams somehow w

I was fortunate enough to order one at launch through Best Buy but I had an issue with all online PS5 retailers: Best Buy, GameStop, Newegg, Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc. I don't know anything about how any of these companies operate l

You're not wrong, but don't forget that there are plenty of physical goods in gaming. Every nerdy IP has merchandise and that's why GameStop acquired ThinkGeek. There are tons of nerdy merchandise and collectibles to sell. In

GameStop owns ThinkGeek now and is much much worse at selling physical goods online. GameStop also made a good amount of its money through preorders, trade-ins, and resales. If they focus on an amazing web, customer, and fulfillment experi

Call me weird but if I had ads at all, I prefer that they be relevant. I hate being shown something that I have zero interest for. I actually really enjoy when a targeted ad is spot on at showing me something that I would want. I can sympat

Is it just me or is Google consistently awful at product marketing? They've already had a Google TV that they killed. They've also already killed Chromecast Audio. Now this thing is called "Chromecast with Google TV". I

Having worked on large scale production apps through jQuery days, Knockout, Backbone, Angular 1, and now React, I still think this is the best tool for the job. What do you use? I don't think spending a few hours to fully grasp an arti

I don't think it's becoming a black box at all. Classes were more intuitive, sure. But, they really allowed you to write some gnarly and inefficient code. I've always felt that React lets people get away with not fully unders

I'd be curious to see the data behind these claims. There has to be artists that are successful from timeless music/instant classics.

These are good points, but the examples are an oversimplification and can present problems if overlooked. In the examples, if a function is only ever called within one hook callback, it should just be defined in that hook callback. Doing so

I have a serious question. Obviously if one were to choose between an ad-free experience and an ad-full experience, one would choose ad-free. But, if ads were needed for monetization, wouldn't you choose personalized vs non-personalize

Apple absolutely needs to make their official spare parts accessible. I was in a situation where my phone somehow had the water detection strip turn red on a 6S (before waterproof). It was working fine, I just wanted to get my screen replac

It makes sense to me because HBO doesn't really have the same type of catalog. They also don't have the data. In my experience, people subscribe to HBO because they have the content and people are already aware of their content. I

Yes, it's just regular lexical closure. I don't think his comment was literal since JS itself is lexically scoped. If you think about how `this` works in JS, it's very similar to dynamic scoping because it matters where the f

Not sure if this helps or is relevant, but I like to think of a component as a physics function. For example, at t = 0, the output is one thing. When t = 1, the output is another. The same way of thinking can be applied to hooks. Some hooks

The problem wasn't the fact that components were classes. The problems were the React lifecycle methods. People did some crazy things with instance variables, shouldComponentUpdate, and componentDidUpdate, and especially the deprecated
