Unless its a trivial fix or high severity, Epic just deletes the bug and moves on

This is probably why it takes 6 ready/unready cycles for a Duo to start matchmaking, why the d-pad randomly stops working making it impossible to navigate menus until the game is restarted, why gun firing sounds and animations get stuck playing, why quests often don't award, etc

@elonmusk @Tesla Can we get the Stopping Mode options back now that these aren't for sale anymore? We really miss stopping mode "roll" especially when reversing. Even if you just enable it over CAN so Commander can select it, we'll love our car so much more.

Custom orders of the Tesla Model S & X have come to an end. All that’s left are some in inventory. We will have an official ceremony to mark the ending of an era. I love those cars. This was me at production launch 14 years ago:

@arielmichaeli I'll DM you😀

@cribasoft Below a certain threshold we don’t have enough consistent signal, and that threshold continues to rise

$50K in 3 months from an app about buying eggs from your neighbor. Localize maps 30,000 farms selling direct. 25K downloads in February, growing through TikTok UGC (1.4M views) and an IG "comment for the app" loop that's textbook growth hacking. A farmers market finder people actually subscribe to.

@arielmichaeli My app doesn't exist on iPad

@cribasoft If too low, is your app big on iPad? We’re bringing that in soon

@arielmichaeli Too low (way) downloads, too low revenue, wrong dominant country. Perplexing how it could be that wrong.

@cribasoft Too low or too high?

@arielmichaeli This page for my own app has numbers off by multiples.

@LauraLoomer Airpods with noise canceling + white noise/music. You're in control of your own experience.

Is there anything worse than a crying baby on a plane? I wish parents would control their children. It’s so disruptive. I refuse to believe a baby cries for 10 hours. At some point this is just bad parenting, right?

@zachwaugh Apps aren't given the person's email address when they subscribe. It's up to the platform to remind the customer. I believe Apple does 30-day notice for annuals.

I consider it an intentional dark pattern if you have a yearly renewal for a subscription and you don't email the customer at least one week ahead of time letting them know it will renew and they can cancel if they want

@jeiting @drbarnard apps.apple.com/us/app/hours-t…

Are you an RC customer and want your app icon featured on our signup page? We're building an app icon wall ala WWDC 2009(?) and looking for volunteers. Reply with your app link and you hereby officially consent to me putting in on our website (this is legally official)

@TimSweeneyEpic Thanks

Our 2020 challenge to Apple and Google brought one immediate gain: both dropped fees from 30% to 15% for small developers: the makers of the 98% of apps that earn 5% of the revenue. The settlement drops Google’s comparable long-term rate for large developers from 30% to 20%.

Jeez, my entire For You is just pages of AI "war videos". Get a grip, @X

@JesterJum 🤔Where do used cars come from? What would happen if everyone followed your way of thinking?

Why do people still buy new cars? That $50,000 car you just paid off cost you $63,000 in total payments. Plus, it is now only worth $20,000 so it's lost $43,000 in depreciation....in 5 years. Buy used. Come on people....stop throwing your money away.

@dwlz Also magically this bespoke AI slop app will cost you less than just using AirBnB, with all their partnerships and economies of scale. 🥴

Building apps on demand is just way too much cognitive overhead for the average person. No one wants to do this. If I go to Airbnb, it loads in a second. Designers have thought through every detail. They control the data. They handle the payment processing. If something goes wrong with my stay, I know who to call. I don't want to have to write up a description of what I want to do for every little task, and have a bespoke, throw-away interface created for me every time I need it. I'm going to have to learn how to use a different piece of software every day. It's going to be way worse than what Airbnb made, and I'll have to wait for it to generate. Didn't have something I wanted? Sure I can prompt it, but then I need to wait again. Honestly, it just seems like a massive annoyance. I just want my interfaces to be stable, well-maintained, and designed with care. I really don't care that I can generate it if I want to. It's just not practical. And unless inference can generate a site better than Airbnb in a second, I just am not going to use it. This is one of those things that is "cool" but in reality no one will do it. For example, look at how many people still use Google search, 3.5 years after ChatGPT was launched. People said search was going to die. The reality is that search volume has never been higher.

@hxxntrr also known as "Credit Card Kiting". Carries some risk of credit card fraud. Lots of info about this scheme online.

Met a girl in Austin who owes $200K on credit cards and hasn't paid a single dollar of interest in over 5 years… Thought she was full of shit She pulled up a color-coded Google Sheet and walked me through it. The math actually checks out. She might be the smartest person I've ever met or the most reckless. Probably both She's been cycling balance transfers across banks in a loop that never ends The play is stupid simple once you see it: She takes $200K in 0% APR business cards. Uses the money for her real estate business. Month 10, before the 0% promo expires, she applies for a new round of 0% cards at different banks. Gets approved (because her score is 760+ since business cards don't report to personal credit). Does a balance transfer from the old cards to the new ones. 0% clock resets for another 12-18 months Old cards go to $0 balance. New cards hold the $200K. She hasn't paid a penny in interest "But you can't balance transfer business cards" Some banks allow it directly. For the ones that don't, she uses a workaround. She liquidates the new 0% cards into cash (2-3% fee through a payment processor), then uses that cash to pay off the old cards manually. Same result. Costs her about $4K-$6K per cycle which she treats as a business expense She's been doing this for 5 years straight. That's roughly $25K in total fees to maintain access to $200K in perpetual 0% capital The interest on $200K at normal business loan rates (8-12%) would be $16K-$24K per year. She's paying $5K per year instead. Over 5 years that's roughly $75K-$95K in interest she just didn't pay The spreadsheet tracks every card, every promo expiration date, every bank, every cycle. She has it planned out 18 months in advance. She knows exactly when to apply at which bank and in what order "Won't the banks figure out the pattern?" Some already have. Amex denied her last cycle. So she shifted to Navy Federal and US Bank which she says are less aggressive about detecting balance transfer cycling. Capital One still approves her every time She told me "banks offer 0% promos because they're betting you'll forget to pay before interest kicks in. I just never forget" The 2-3% fee per cycle is her rent for $200K in free money. She called it "the cheapest loan on earth that technically isn't a loan" 5 years. Zero interest. $200K in perpetual capital I checked the math twice. It works

everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code here's what things actually look like - your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping - majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life - they're not using AI to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend - the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon - even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real - your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills

@dwlz @cormachayden_ 6-7....

@cormachayden_ what happened between mo 6 and 7!?!

@Sanctiog @amrf1insights Gears turning in a gearbox. The speed is absolutely linear unless the transmission is broken. The only unknown here is if the engine can reach those RPM. That's a matter of drag and power. But if it does, the speed is certain.

@amrf1insights At higher RPMs, the speed increase is likely smaller, as shown by Red Bull's 344 km/h at 12,086 RPM, making the linear model inaccurate.

ℹ️ PU settings, weight, drag, etc play a factor but let's do some maths with the Honda PU: At 10891 rpm the speed was 315KM/H At 11000 rpm the speed was 318KM/H This means: 109 rpm = ~3KM/H Expected speed at 12086 rpm - 346KM/H. Yesterday RedBull hit 344 KM/H at 12086 rpm

@PaulSolt To be frank, it looks like a toy. And the whole "drip the yellow e-ink into the car to start it" is pompous designer junk. Its an electric car. Just go when I get in and press the pedal. I love Ferrari but this car can't be canceled soon enough.

@cribasoft It is an odd decision. I hope not all the controls are mounted on rounded rectangles. I feel that would look out of place. One is fine, too many rounded rectangles and it feels less premium.

Just don’t drop that key on … asphalt. The only part that feels like a big miss is how easy it will be to lose that key and scratch it.
