About 15 years ago I was working at Te Papa, the national museum here in NZ and we had an exhibition on 'Monet and the Impressionists'. I created a flash app where you could upload a photo and then paint an impressionist style pai

Yeah I’m in the same boat. I had my old mid 2013 Air for 7 years before I pulled the trigger on that too. I’ll be grabbing myself an M4 Pro this time

If you enjoy a bit of historical fiction then I can recommend Conn Iggulden’s Khan series - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13573316 I read them a couple of years back and thoroughly enjoyed them.

Hardware wise it was a fantastic console, I picked an OLED version up a couple of years ago. The problem I always had was the lack of games. There were a handful of good titles but nothing really blew me away. I think I spent more time play

I spent hours playing these with my brother. It was always a race to choose Spider, the coolest character.

Yeah it actually is. My 7 and 4 year old have been playing some crappy games on Roblox which led us to spending some time in the Creator Studio. I was surprised how good it was given given the vast amounts of absolute crap in Roblox, althou

Is water use during chip production on the same magnitude as fracking? Genuinely curious as I didn’t even know it was at a level that was considered wasteful

Getting that Z Axis perfectly level across the run is going to be fun at this scale.

Yeah mine doesn't work too hard, 2 doubles a day at the most and maybe 6-8 in the weekend if we have guests. But it has been great, I've had it for 5 years now and it hasn't skipped a beat. I'm not sure what reparability

It sounds like you are the perfect customer for them but when your machine craps itself I would suggest checking out something like the Breville Barista models. I have the Pro version which has the grinder built in and I've found it ma

This always annoyed me ~10 years ago when I picked up a few sequel projects. It was such a pain in the ass to google when I was stuck on things

When the other app has even taken this apps trailer and not bothered to replace the name then I side with the original dev - https://x.com/LorenLemcke/status/1829065192296120502

I can remember first seeing these in Theo’s 2007 Ted Talk. I must have drawn than linkage about 10,000 times over the next few years. I always had big dreams of raiding dad’s plumbing supplies to make a version of one.

Oh those ones look much better than the one I brought off AliExpress years ago. Not to mention it was missing a bag of parts and they wanted me to send them a photo of the missing parts…

At least with fashion / shoes its something you own / more or less have full control over. With the Roblox it all feels very ephemeral.

I think you're right on with the micro-transactions, Roblox is particularly bad for it. One of the games on there my boy likes is Rainbow Friends, its some sort of tame horror survival genre which he loves exploring around and playing

My kids have started playing Roblox recently and they have started asking for some Robux so they can buy crap... I really don't get how so many people are into spending dollars on this stuff. Everything they wanted was ~$10-20 NZD and

Until last year I spent 10 years working for a large dating company with millions of members. There are a few big issues. 1 - Scammers. I’d be surprised if even 1 in 100 female profiles were real. Where maybe 1 in 1000 male profiles were sc
