> Apple have (freely) provided Basecamp a platform to grow their business via the App Store, whilst giving Apple (effectively) nothing in return.
I've purchased an expensive phone mainly so that I can have access to a high quality ecosystem of apps. Apps like Basecamp and Hey are part of that for me. Apple gains so much from the breadth of high quality apps on the app store, including free apps. If they begin to see free apps as giving them effectively nothing, I see that as an indication that they no longer value the reasons I go to them as an iOS user.
The issue here is that Godot isn't someone you can contact to support their systems. It's an open source project. They either add it to the source, which they can't because of NDAs, or they point you to companies who have a track record of porting and publishing Godot games on Switch, PS4 and Xbox One, which they are currently doing:
For Ludum Dare 46, going on this weekend, the theme is 'Keep it alive.'
I had a few 'real' game ideas, but this is the thing I thought people might get some use out of, but after some reflection, the best task I could come up with, that would have a positive influence on people was just to give people who want it the opportunity and an excuse to say what’s on their mind.
The website will self-destruct if you don’t engage with it.
It’s been a rough month for me, and I’m sure it has for a lot of people. So I figured, lets create a nice cozy place online where you can write about the issues you’re having.
For those interested in the technical details: On page load, I check to see if the latest request is more than 24 hours old. If it is, I delete all the items in the database and stop rendering.
> Can we scrape Reddit, Twitter, or Facebook in order to stand up a competing service that strips out all the ads?
Even if web scraping was definitively legal (this preliminary injunction doesn't mean that), that doesn't mean you can bypass the content creator's copyright. Non-copyrightable functional data is one thing, but copying all of Reddit, for example, would include copying https://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/ and that would definitely be violating the rights of the authors.
If you're interested in the Ergodox, I do recommend really spending some time with the configurator the first month and keep iterating and practicing with it. It starts out slow, but now I'm as fast, if not faster on it than my old layout. And I'm always able to add new features. Just reading this comment section, I realized I missed my ten-key, so I threw a new layer together on an unused key to get a ten-key setup.
One of the major things I've learned using it is to configure with mnemonics in mind. For my ten-key setup, I was tempted to put the 789 where 'yui' are, but I opted to put 789 over 'uio' because then I could remember that the ten-key's top row is down-shifted one from the number row, while still getting the top row of '/*-' in the correct position. I probably won't use a ton of the ten-key this week, but hopefully that mnemonic will help me from fumbling when I do have a use for it.
Exactly. If it starts happening frequently, maybe it's worth looking into. But I think there's a middle ground between 'worthy of complaining on hacker news' and 'need to implement and support a redundant backup payment system.'
KATG listener since 2006. Awesome to see you on here.
I believe most of 3M's products are industrial abrasives, films, laminates, and adhesives. I suspect they make more money selling layers of film that are part of electronic displays than they do selling scotch tape.
Well, this inspired me to install ScummVM, install this pack, and finally beat Kings Quest VII Chapter 1. It was the first game I ever had as a kid, and I never was able to get past one of the puzzles. The audio sounds great!
The podcast is very well produced and has interviews with the major players from the early years of Eve.
Occasionally when I get the craving to play Eve, I also end up listening to a few episodes of Talking on Stations, an eve podcast that gives fascinating in depth analysis of a world I’ll never have time for.
I don’t see how it’s belittling to acknowledge luck as a factor among many in success while also acknowledging the non-luck factors. You can be proud of your accomplishments while still acknowledging the influence of luck your success.
I haven’t looked into it beyond typing a couple of lines into the terminal but I’m wondering how useful iSh will be for people trying to go down this road.
From https://ish.app - “iSH is a project to get a Linux shell environment running locally on your iOS device, using a usermode x86 emulator.”
A great example of how an experienced photographer is more than just a body and a camera is contained within this story itself. The quality difference between the photograph the guy took a decade ago and the one he took this year was striking.
It's my understanding that the labor theory of value is only concerned with "socially necessary labor," and not completely valueless labor -- digging and filling in a hole ad nauseam.
I came across this yesterday and have been quite impressed with its customization. My previous attempts with automated time tracking through programs like rescue time involved lots of fiddling and not getting much work done. With this, after reading some notes in the documentation on Effective Use of arbtt (http://arbtt.nomeata.de/doc/users_guide/effective-use.html) I've got a pretty useful time tracking app that's not distracting and only gives me the information I want.
