this is the best breakdown I’ve seen of the dark arts behind Block Blast!, the most downloaded mobile game in the world last year
intentionally making players lose to optimize which ads they see, the sophistication behind such a “simple” game is stunning.

Yeah not falling for that. Literally how they tricked Troy.

There’s a level of pride that comes with managers like Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho waxing lyrical about Selhurst Park.
As we often say, it may be a shithole but it’s our shithole and I wouldn’t change it for the world. ❤️

One thing that’s annoying about being a software engineer is that you’re surrounded by people who have strong opinions about the stupidest possible stuff that couldn’t possibly ever matter even a little bit. This is your whole career. It’s just arguments like this one over and over and over and over again and they literally never matter. The years roll into decades and nobody ever stops talking about this stuff and it didn’t matter in 1980 and it didn’t matter in 1990 and it didn’t matter in 2010 and it doesn’t matter today.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.
