I played it after Last of Us 2 and it just doesn't compare, especially in terms of mechanics and visuals. If there's one last game to play on PS4 it's Last of Us 2.
Re:Now Bigger Than eBay, Shopify Sets Its Sights on Amazon on Saturday August 24, 2019 @01:58AM (#20785519)
This explains how I got scammed on Shopify last summer. I’m not talking about a missing product label or receiving a counterfeit item. I paid $1200 for a Shopify product (drone) and received a box with a poster tube inside of it that said “the world is yours”. Nothing else. The merchant was gone that day. The real scammers live on Shopify.

Hey creator, just wanted to say great job. A lot of these Hacker News comments are predictably neck-beardy and lack the recognition of effort and dedication put into a product launch.

Don't listen to the non-constructive "yeah but X already does it" comments. This seems like a simple but useful product, and good on you all for putting this out there. Keep creating and iterating!

Re:Is Rails still relevant in 2018? on Tuesday August 28, 2018 @01:37AM (#17856765)
The long and rambling, confusing and grammatically indirect answer that this piece puts forth is that yes, Rails is still relevant in 2018. I could agree more.

Does anyone know if the same admin UI (tables, settings) is available with Parse Server?

To me this product markets itself. This team has accomplished a lot with this tool, and i'm compelled to adopt and educate myself.

The proof (and splash) is in the pudding here. Kudos to dev team that built this.

"We will remain steadfast in our efforts toward contributing to an Internet that represents the best, not the worst, of humanity."

But doesn't the full human experience include both the best and the worst?

How is the real momentum going the other way (native -> Web)?

Since you seem to appreciate corrections, it's a bit more natural to say "but sometimes I make some mistakes"
Re:Diversity at Amazon on Friday October 31, 2014 @02:30PM (#8540295)
You're right that they're not consistent between the two charts. That can be misleading.

They are ordered by percentage descending, so you can quickly understand which is the 2nd most populous, 3rd most populous, etc. The ethnicity name is right by the percentage so you can quickly grok it, even though the colors don't match across pie charts.

I think you mean to say, "Got 50% bump by faking a counter offer".
Re:Amazon releases new Kindle products on Thursday September 18, 2014 @02:05AM (#8333946)
"For the first time, you and your family can access and easily share not only your own Kindle books, but also books from the Amazon account of a spouse or partner"

This seems like a really nice feature that was somewhat buried in the Kindle Voyage description.

Wait, so Google hasn't actually done anything to the article?

"Although the BBC has had the notice from Google that my article will not show up in some searches, it doesn't appear to have implemented this yet."
