Top Story
- Roblox is the biggest game in the world, with more monthly players than Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo combined. How much money does it make? (Matthew Ball)
Over the last four quarters, Roblox’s income from operations was ($1.2B) on revenues of $3.2B, representing a -38% profit margin.
Oops.
Not as bad as it sounds because Roblox's accounting procedures are properly conservative, and the company is cash flow positive. An interesting look into where all the money goes though.
Tech News
- If you're building a budget gaming PC, should you go with the older 6750 XT or the newer 7600 XT given that they are about the same price? (Tom's Hardware)
The 6750 XT. It does use more power but it also delivers noticeably better performance.
Only problem is that since it's no longer made it's disappearing from shelves.
- Your $1700 smart bassinet now has a $20 subscription fee. (Independent)
Because of course it does.
- A plague of rash-inducing mites has descended upon Illinois. (Ars Technica)
And the DNC as well.
- Micro-libraries need to die. (Bvisness)
This is so unbelievably wrong that it should not even be up for debate. But because there is a debate regardless, someone needs to exhaustively and painfully explain why bad practices are bad.
Yes.
This seems to be primarily a problem with Node.js, which is also unbelievably wrong and should not even be up for debate.
Disclaimer: Node.js is the prostate cancer of programming.

The only people I know of that are using Node that I can think of OTTOMH are some people on The Daily WTF's comment board who wrote a bot years ago in Node precisely because it was a stupid choice. (This was, IIRC, one of those bots you see on forums and Discord and the like where you can, for example, type !dice (with optional parameters) and it'll give you the results of a simulated throw of whatever dice you specify.)
