I wonder how long people stay subscribed to apps on average? As an example, I'd guess that most people don't stay subscribed to games for much longer than a year, on average. So I'd bet that their effective tax is closer to

It seems plausible that Apple has a policy against free-lance tech support and they over-applied the rule in this case when he was just helping out a friend - perhaps using work resources in some way (e.g. a work phone was involved).

Starboard is all client-side, whereas runkit is all server-side (node.js). A closer comparison would probably be Observable[0]. I love the "just HTML and CSS" philosophy of Starboard, but I'm not really qualified to have an o

I think you're just trying to weasel out of this now. By your definition there are no AAA games on Nintendo Switch, or mobiles, or... any handheld device in history. It wouldn't even help your argument to shift the definition to

Then, so far as I can see, it's not even a un-interesting take, since you can easily detect WebGL support before running GPU.js. Perhaps this was difficult to do with OpenCL in 2010, but it's a non-issue here.

Yeah, GGP's take is not that interesting. It just depends on how much extra perf/value you get from the GPU vs the CPU. If the GPU gives you some nice fancy shading, but your game works fine without it, then GGP's suggestion

Platforms can be heavily tied to particular speech - e.g. Parler, Gab, etc. Banning a platform can hinder the groups that tend to use those platforms. It seems kind of absurd to just ban one of the most popular apps in the world over night

The engine absolutely is open source, and there are no clauses pertaining to where the code must be hosted. Their particular IDE may be closed-source, but the engine is not tied to it. IIRC playcanvas was started by ex-mozilla people. I pla

Agreed. Some people are motivated by wanting to have a significant positive impact on the world, and they're fine if that makes me a little less happy overall. I think that's great - especially when it's someone who has a lot
