Last I checked, for our popular mobile game, there were over 28,000 different models of Android phones represented in the analytics from a single day. Multiply that by Android versions, manufacturers, hardware specs... it’s a mess that is h

My in-laws were duped by this exact site, but through a different ad on Google. They were ensnared in it for weeks before we found out and told them to cease. :(

I have a 2016 MBP and love the keyboard. I've never had any problems with it. That's not to dismiss people who have experienced quality issues. I don't mind the touch bar, but it's not particularly useful.

There’s a lot of scaremongering in here. I fully support giving users full privacy controls. However, both Android and iOS allow you to toggle off availability of your Advertising ID. That’s been in there for years. Turn it off and apps can

I've been using the Brave browser for the past week or so. It feels like Chrome, without the ads and spying. This article recommends Firefox. Are there good reasons to choose one over the other?

This is a great article about how the actions of some players are very predictive of the outcome of the game even if their stats don't reflect that: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/15/magazine/15Batt

Another vote for Hazel. I also use Yoink, which is sort of a drag-drop shelf for files that you're trying to move from one place to another. Drag them to the Yoink shelf, go do some other stuff, then drag them off of the Yoink shelf to

I signed up to take Taekwondo with my daughters. We have a ton of fun both in class and practicing forms and kicks at home. It's a great source of confidence and pride for them. Some of the classes are self-defense / anti-bullying

My father, who lives on the NC coast, has monarch caterpillars all over his milkweed right now. It’s very late for them to be there. Let’s hope they make it before the weather gets too cold!

Not a joke. Tesla is an American car company shipping sedans. The mid-range Model 3 is getting lower in price. While it might not be price-comparable to some of the others mentioned in the article, it's still an American sedan.

Northern Virginia is a hot mess of congestion. If they're smart, they'll go west of Dulles, or at the very least, not go further east than Reston. Better to stay out in Ashburn or something.

I've used LÖVE a bunch in the past and it's great. Recently, I've been playing with Godot, and it's also wonderful. If you're interested in learning Godot, Ben Tristam's course on Udemy[1] is a great tutorial s

I just want to chime in as this being the biggest limitation to dc.js. For these solutions to scale, there needs to be a server-side data processing option.

My guess is that the privacy/tracking on Safari is going to be turned on for all apps. iOS will soon keep track, at the OS level, of whether apps are allowed to access your Advertising ID. If you say no, then ad-based apps simply will
