I am looking to experiment with ecommerce a bit and Ive signed up for shopify trials but since I want to extensively customize my store, learning liquid has been something i keep procrastinating on and this seems like a more approachable and affordable way to launch experimental stores but I want to understand what exactly you offer.

You're charging $5/month for the front end and hosting of the tiny store/website and on top of that I need to have the additional $9/month shopify lite plan correct?

What does this allow you to do?

Holy guac, room temperature superconductivity seems almost science fiction-y but just imagine the disruption it would make. I would be particularly excited to experience how much electric motors and energy transfer/storage and conversion would improve.

Reddit has gone through many changes both in the product and the organization.. I feel like its initial purpose/mission has been lost in the way that it was intended as an open space to share things. I do absolutely hate the redesign and hate having to type the URL out.. the redesign is more tedious and eats up data like mad

As an extension, not only is Apple guilty of the absurd 30% tax on IAP, Google does it too and I think its very unfair that you cannot choose your own payment processor. Apple and Google should be viewed as an oligarchy of some sort being that they control almost all of the mobile market. The fact that there is almost no oversight to their business practices and their ability to literally take any app off the market or charge whatever processing fee they want is ridiculous. Its not like any company can also just set out to build their own app store since Google and specially Apple would never allow them to compete. I could go on this topic for days since I just know how much mobile developers are so vulnerable and powerless against the app stores.

The unfortunate reality of the situation is that a lot of these disparities have to do with culture. Wealthier neighborhoods tend to be white and asian as those cultures tend to instill pursuing a higher level of education in their children as well as a few other positive values I could mention.. As long as politically correct leftists (a majority in this country) keep turning a blind eye away from these hard truths, and refuse to put their boot on the ground, these communities will unfortunately continue to be afflicted by their own culture.

Sure but I think this really applies to industries under a free market in general however the dynamics in the tech sector are such that a single person with little to no startup capital can create something with paranormal returns and that is really what indies are after (perhaps after having their idea come to life). I wonder if there any other industries that have this same allure

Great suggestion but from what I've read there really isn't a way to detect uninstall events on Android.

Well it obviously has a negative effect but the reports are giving me 10 crashes per day and there are 100 more uninstalls so even if 1 crash = 1 uninstall, why are the other 90 ppl uninstalling...

This is a good suggestion thanks

Well I think I have a retention/engagement problem that I don't know how to troubleshoot. Most of the users who sign up for the free trial stick around and pay. So it's not like I am not seeing any sign ups.

yes I have a registration page prior to the main content page. No tutorial animation but I have a button inside the menu. and the emails were not really personalized since I don't have much other than their emails

ahh yes, open the borders and import every type of third worlder into western countries for the sake of profiting over cheap labor... Let us forget about the clash in cultures, and how unrestricted immigration leaves the native population in a worse off state by rising housing prices, demographic replacement and stagnant wages. I have experienced first hand the effects of such policies here in California. This article is the equivalent of selling your lung to afford a kidney.

Also as a side note, Why is it that more developed nations have to find solutions for failed states by re-homing the population which voted for those same policies instead of leaving them to fight and improve the conditions in their own countries. Absolute globalist non sense.

From an outsiders perspective with all the legislature and politics governing it S.A wouldn't be my first choice. Midwest U.S is still very comfortable and you don't have to move countries or as a last resort maybe I'd go somewhere in Latin America.

If he is confident that he can manage to quit his job while making less than 1k a month for now, then even $10/hr part time job of less than 25 hours a week would be a great boost

Hip hop and rap music is one of the worst things that happened to culture. It appeals to most lowly desires and it's hedonism in music form. Track 1 of a rap CD can address how minorities are supposedly discriminated against yet Track 2 is filled with criminal intent and mysogyny. I am still in my twenties but I do not allow either my siblings nor myself to listen to it or I at least frown upon it.

You may say not all rap is this way but the truth is that most popular rap is this way.

Looks like great material, thanks.

Anyone know of good resources to learn how multiplayer online games are made? I would like to learn how devs deal with scaling, lag, states, synchronization, etc..

I work in a different line of development but I've always wondered what is going on in huge online multiplayer games like GTA-V or COD.

Well theyre not entryprise grade.

Well in that note React sucks too... Yeah I said it. Lots of dependencies, complicated bootstrap process, too many abstract concepts, and if youre using redux which is necessary if youre planning to build anything serious, you need to edit like 10 files just to add a new feature.

My grandpa had to eat crackers and bread for most of his lifetime in Argentina and he didn't find success until his late 40s as a farmer... Said suicide was the easiest path but after suffering for too long it'd be like training for war and surrendering when you hear the drums.

Had it been musk though, oh you people would have sacrificed a small child in his name. I applaud this guy, doing more than most of the people that claim to be saviours or at least perceived that way.

I would like to ask you some questions about the project, what is the best method to contact you?

Does anyone know what kind of oscillator is used to produce the signal? And how they managed to get such a high sample rate?

Well I have a simple GeoJSON point object with lat/long coordinates. The document also stores a score of sorts and what I plan to do is limit the results to a certain number say 20 (although still not quite sure) and then sort by the score. This way people will only view the most interesting locations no matter if they are looking at a street level view or on a national level.

The way rethinkDB advises is to query by intersections of circles. So on the client I calculate the center of the map, and then the radius based on the edges of the screen. Then I send that to construct the circle and get all points within the circle. I am just unsure how I can organize these results and cache them within Redis (or a better alternative) for ease of retrieval.

How exactly would I stream to the server? Say after I have the camera/audio feed.

this move seems like a desperate attempt to revitalize a dying dream... Taxis are dead, ride sharing killed it. End of story. Typewriter manufacturers werent given subsidies when the computer f*cked them over, were they?

created a github issue... This is why we cant have nice things lol

After I graduated High school. I devoted nearly all of my time to working on a web application aaggregator meant to be a platform where people could discover and share web apps. The site would also have hosting capabilities so that you could deploy your project on site. Think of it like a github pages with a featured projects page for interactive content. After launch I posted it on several forums hoping it would catch on with developers but in the end I only ended up having about 10 people register.

In retrospect I attribute my failures to 1) Not being in touch with what people wanted, or gathering feedback throughtout the process. There were a lot of extra features that I implemented which consumed a great deal of time that never even ended up being used.. So I should have launched a MVP and took things from there. I was scared of launching since I beileved my project wasnt ready even though all of the core features were implemented.

2) Lack of marketing/logistics knowledge. After I was done building the site, I truly didnt have the cash or knowledge for giving it the exposure it needed to gain traction. I naively thought that after launch my product would just organically grow itself, by word of mouth without having to put much marketing effort. Very stupid assumption.

3)planning and organization. I took on way too much technical debt for the project to the point where I cant even modify it. I built the site at a time where I was also learning web development and it was my first project ever. I ended up minifying the code, and was not even a Git user at the time. The variable names were lost and I only have the minified output. This is probably my biggest technical mistake.

So in hindsight these are probably the largest factors that contributed to my project being a complete failure, and honestly have discoraged me a bit from following some of my other ideas due to the fear of failure, which might just mean I am more concious of where I spend my time or it might be something that is holding me back. I am not quite sure.
