Most articles about crypto escrow only list the upsides. This one does the opposite, because knowing where a tool stops working is what lets you use it well. Escrow is genuinely useful, but it is not a magic guarantee, and treating it like one is how people still lose money with it. Here's what crypto escrow actually can't do, where the trade-offs bite, and how to decide whether it's worth paying for on a given deal. It secures the payment, not the counterparty Escrow guarantees the money is han...
Most WooCommerce product pages still show the same thing stores have shown for 20 years: a handful of flat photos. I spent the last few months building Noorifa, a plugin that replaces that with an interactive Three.js viewer — customers rotate the model, zoom in, and switch colors/materials on specific meshes in real time, synced to the store's actual WooCommerce variations. The 3D rendering part was the easy 20%. The other 80% was a series of small, specific problems that don't show up in a Thr...
This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Passion Edition TL;DR SQL can count a commit trail. It can't always find the story it tells. Name a public GitHub repo. Snowflake fetches its commit history, decides which story is actually in there, and asks Cortex to narrate that one thread. You get a card you can drop into a README. 6 storyline detectors, 15 SQL views, and 0 AI calls in any of them—the story is chosen by plain SQL. Then 1 Cortex call, on 20–140 commit lines: 25% of the repo's, clamp...
Last week I spent two hours interrogating a chatbot that runs a $250M-valued AI-agent platform. The pitch is the one you've heard a hundred times now: solo founder plus AI equals leverage of a fifty-person company at one-person cost. AI plans, AI codes, AI runs the ads, AI sends the cold email, AI handles the inbox. You sleep; the business compounds. I went in skeptical. I came out with the same conclusion every honest version of this conversation lands on: the thesis will work eventually, and t...
A few months ago I set out to build VoiceDash, a white-label portal that lets an agency resell AI voice agents under their own brand. The pitch is simple: an agency buys voice AI infrastructure once, slaps their logo and domain on it, and hands each of their clients a clean dashboard that looks like the agency built it themselves. Simple to say. The build is where you find out what "white-label" and "multi-tenant" actually cost you. This is a build log, not a launch post. I want to write down th...

.NET appears as large monolith where everything is working like a magic. But it is not, and even GC can be used outside of .NET runtime (obviously with caveat). When I was a kid, I always love disassemble things, to see how they works. Not always toys survive that exercise. But thanks to source control, .NET GC is safe from my hands. Hopefully lot of people like me, and will enjoy tearing down large system into pieces. submitted by /u/kant2002 [link] [comments]

You know the story. You write a consumer, test it locally, deploy to staging, everything green. Then in production, the same message gets processed twice. Orders are duplicated. Notifications go out twice. Everyone blames "a race condition" and moves on. We spent the last few months formally verifying what actually happens when consumers crash with at-least-once delivery semantics. The short version: it doesn't matter which broker you use. The race condition is a property of the delivery contrac...

In the kart-racing genre, Mario Kart's reigns supreme. But the social media team behind Garfield Kart: Furious Racing and Garfield Kart 2: All You Can Drift didn't miss a chance to dunk on Nintendo's decision to sunset Mario Kart Tour this fall. On X, the official account for Garfield Kart declared its superiority to Mario Kart because it "will not randomly kill your game license." https://twitter.com/GarfieldKartX/status/2074947859644809275 While the Garfield Kart games are far behind Mario Kar...

Mewtwo's Mega-Evolved forms are also making their debut, and different wild Pokemon and Raid bosses will appear throughout the weekend as part of the game's rotating...
Often my job involves playing games before they come out. Sometimes, this means I'll come away feeling like I've just played the next big thing. That's one of the most exciting parts of my job, really, and it happened yesterday; I'm certain Big Walk is the next big thing. Developed by Untitled Goose Game's House House, Big Walk is a two- to 12-player co-op game in which you explore a huge island full of puzzles and secrets. Playing in first-person as vaguely human-like, customizable avatars, you...
As monumental as Sony’s decision to abandon PlayStation discs by 2028 is, it isn’t surprising one bit. The move feels like the culmination of industry trends dating back over a decade, and it recalls one egregious business practice--one that took aim at the used-game market, whether companies would admit it or not--that caused a brief uproar before fading away into the depths of our collective memory. There was a period at the end of the 2000s and start of the 2010s when big publishers including...
Earlier this year, Infold invited me to attend Love and Deepspace's second anniversary event. At this point, I had been playing the game on and off for about a year. I was juggling questionable relationships with both Zayne, the main character's physician, and Sylus, the violent leader of a crime syndicate. And while I wasn't as financially invested as many players, I certainly had fostered a level of emotional investment in the game, its story, and its charming characters. I was thrilled to be ...
Since news broke of Microsoft's recent round of mass layoffs--which affected 1,600 people immediately and will reach double that number over the next year--a number of reports have claimed that mass approvals of foreign-worker visas were behind the decision. Now, Microsoft communications lead Frank X. Shaw has refuted what he calls "bad information." In a Twitter post, Shaw said that while there are Microsoft workers using H-1B visas, they are "not specific to Xbox and represent a small percenta...
Zeverland, the upcoming open-world zombie sim for PC, plays a lot like DayZ, but the team at Quantum Quirks has announced a major shift in the game's design following a closed alpha test. According to the studio, players wanted the PvPvE game to be an entirely cooperative PvE experience instead, so much so that the team is meeting the community's requests and turning Zeverland into exactly that. "You talked. We listened," the studio said on the Zeverland Steam page. "We've decided to shift Zever...

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced launched on July 9, and the swashbuckling pirate adventure game got off to a great start. Vantage Studios, the new company in charge of the Assassin's Creed brand, announced today that Resynced sold more than 2 million copies in its first 24 hours. It hasn't been a total success story, however, and the negativity surrounding the game pertains to the usual culprit: microtransactions. Beyond the strong sales and player numbers, Resynced is scoring well with cri...

Welcome back to TechCrunch Mobility, your hub for the future of transportation and now, more than ever, how AI is playing a part.
When we last sat down with Jobs at TechCrunch Disrupt nearly three years ago, his firm Yosemite was brand new and biotech was still reeling from its post-pandemic crash. Now, the venture outfit has a team of 17; a cluster of blockbuster drugs are all losing patent protection in roughly the same window, creating all kinds of new opportunities; and AI has gone from a curiosity to, in Jobs's words, a huge part of what Yosemite does. "I didn't expect Yosemite to be moving this fast," he said.
Last weekend’s brutal NYC heat wave had me craving a frozen drink almost every afternoon. Normally, that would mean sweating through a walk to 7-Eleven for a slurpee. This time, though, I stayed home and put the new Ninja Slushi Twist to the test. Ninja’s latest slushie machine builds on the popularity of the original […]

Apple's self-driving car program never really got off the ground, but it may have been what made the company's chips the powerful AI performers they are.

The state of the smart home can be frustrating, because it is just so obvious how things ought to work. You should be able to control everything from everywhere.

I've always been the gamer in the family. When my son was born nearly 11 years ago, gaming was one of the things I looked forward to sharing with him. Pulling up a chair next to me, he would watch as I played Sea of Thieves with friends, often wearing the too-big-for-his-head headset to talk […]
