Epic will let Fortnite creators sell in-game items in latest attempt to compete with Roblox

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-19 10:20:59

Creators building experiences in Fortnite are getting a new way to earn revenue. Epic says developers will soon have the ability to make and sell in-game items in Fortnite, and earn a cut of the V-Bucks users spend to buy them. Previously, developers only earned money through Fortnite based on the amount of time users spent on their "islands," the in-game name for third-party experiences creators can offer through Fortnite. Developers will be able to create their consumable and durable in-game

PSA: The Starbucks app is broken, but here’s how to use it anyway

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-09-20 10:09:36

A slew of people are reporting that the Starbucks app is completely broken. With too-perfect irony, the thing that is breaking it is an app satisfaction survey … Multiple users are reporting that the app forces you to complete the survey before you can use the app to do anything radical like, oh, I don’t know, ordering a cup of coffee. The problem is that even after you have completed the survey, it still doesn’t let you in: it just loops back to the survey. Twitter user Ike found a workaround

UK faces legal challenge over attempt to force through data center development

cnbc.com Ryan Browne 2025-11-05 15:55:49

The U.K. government is facing a legal challenge from campaigners over its decision to override a local authority and wave through development of a new "hyperscale" data center. Last year, the local authority of Buckinghamshire, England, denied planning permission for proposals to build a new 90-megawatt data center on green belt land. The green belt is a term in British town planning that refers to an area of open land on which building is restricted. Data centers, large facilities that house

There’s getting cozy at a Starbucks to sip a latte and catch up on emails, and then there’s lugging your printer and desktop to the coffee chain to clock into work. Starbucks South Korea is experiencing this exact phenomenon and is now barring patrons from bringing in large pieces of work equipment, treating the cafés like their own amenity-stuffed office space. “Starbucks Korea has updated its policy so all customers can have a pleasant and accessible store experience.

Jeff Buckley died young but is immortalized in a new documentary

theverge.com Robyn Kanner 2025-12-04 18:00:00

Jeff Buckley captivated an audience of generations with his transcendent voice and soaring guitar. After his untimely passing in 1997 at age 30, he gained posthumous, cult-like status. Never one for the charts, his album Grace has stood the test of time and is listed on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. His live performances were famous for transforming any space, regardless of size, into an intimate listening experience. And his unfinished demos are something fans have collected

Try the Mosquito Bucket of Death

I usually focus on the building science of homes, HVAC, and indoor environmental quality. Today, though, I’m going to cover a topic of outdoor environmental quality. I’ve had mosquitoes in my backyard since we bought the house in 2019. This year, however, the yard is practically uninhabitable all the time because the constant rainfall has kept the yard wet and overpopulated with mosquitoes. That’s about to change because last week, I heard about the perfect solution: the Mosquito Bucket of Death

SIMD within a register: How I doubled hash table lookup performance

news.ycombinator.com Aleksey Maltsev 2025-12-23 20:41:34

While working on a Cuckoo Filter implementation in C#, I created an array-like structure for the underlying hash table. I chose an 8-bit fingerprint: it aligns nicely on a byte boundary and still keeps the false-positive rate around 3 %. The layout looked straightforward—just a byte array where the start of each bucket is calculated as bucketIdx * bucketSize . The size of each bucket is 4 slots, which is a solid choice for Cuckoo Filter. Bucket 0 3A 00 B7 F2 Bucket 1 4C 91 00 DE Bucket n AA 00

Scarcity, Inventory, and Inequity: A Deep Dive into Airline Fare Buckets

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-05 09:31:43

Airline pricing may seem mystifying, but behind every airfare is a complex system of fare buckets and inventory controls. Airlines don't just sell seats - they manage a dynamic inventory of fares, divided into booking classes (fare buckets) with different prices and rules. For the technically curious, understanding how fare buckets work reveals the "source code" of airline revenue management. This report delves into the hierarchy of booking classes, how airlines update seat availability across r

It's officially summer, and with that comes the first full moon of the season. July's full moon -- known as the Buck Moon or the Thunder Moon -- will light up the night sky on July 10 and be at its fullest going into July 11. It'll be bright for the whole night, but will reach peak luminosity at around 4:37 a.m. local time, which is a bit late (or early) for most skygazers.

Stripe’s first employee, the founder of fintech Increase, sort of bought a bank

It’s an open secret in the fintech world that the founder and CEO of startup Increase, Darragh Buckley, has been trying for years to “buy a bank,” as one person familiar with the landscape told TechCrunch. A couple of weeks ago, he basically succeeded. He bought a big enough stake in Twin City Bank to trigger a public disclosure of the transaction by the Federal Research Board. Such share purchases are then subject to FDIC approval. Twin City is a small community bank in Longview, Washington,

Third places and neighborhood entrepreneurship (2024)

Sociologists have shown that “third places” such as neighborhood cafés help people maintain and use their network ties. Do they help local entrepreneurs, for whom networks are important? We examine whether the introduction of Starbucks cafés into U.S. neighborhoods with no coffee shops increased entrepreneurship. When compared to census tracts that were scheduled to receive a Starbucks but did not get one, tracts that received a Starbucks saw an increase in the number of startups of 9.1% to 18%

How Theme Park Snack Culture Influenced the Movie Theater Popcorn Bucket Craze

Popcorn buckets are becoming must-have toy collectibles, and this plot twist of trends comes from the unhinged virality of containers that evoke pop culture icons and hold tasty snacks. As a theme park nerd, I saw it unfold as Disney Parks’ snack of choice went from the general cylindrical plastic bucket to Mickey Mouse-shaped holiday containers. As is common in the age of social media, the buckets became coveted souvenirs—and like many sought-after collectibles, scalpers soon got into the game

If someone took bets on which, if any, Avenger was going to appear in Captain America: Brave New World, the odds-on favorite would be Bucky. Bucky, played by Sebastian Stan, and Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie, have a Marvel bromance going back almost a decade to the third Captain America film, Civil War. They’ve faced off ever since and, of course, appeared together in 2021 Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. So when Bucky shows up at a crucial point in the new film it’s a s
