I agree very much, and not only for the sleeping part. My girlfriend suffer from hyperacusis. Loud ICE vehicles, especially two-wheeled one (there are a lot where we live) cause her physical pain. It's a relief when a vehicle starts an

At one point, I figured I wanted some lighting for my bar, which consists of about 70 bottles on shelves (about 1.2m wide and 2m height). But a simple on/off is not good enough. Instead, I went with individually addressable LEDs (NeoPi

While I do mostly the same (except I'm cheaper), what you said implies you live in a bubble. Same as TV presenters belittling MMOs or Twitch for being fringe, despite both of those being a bigger market than their own shows (ironic). I

It's not. When you leave trash in a mountain, you leave it upstream from other places. At some point it is going to taint streams and/or go down. There are people leaving downstream who are going to have to leave with the conseque

It's odd very few people talk about the security. That's what striked me the most a few years ago when I finally decided to go near the Eiffel Tower: when I was young, I remember going there and just going under the Eiffel Tower t

I'm not a native English speaker, I don't know the proper translation (we just say a "bar" in French, even though coffee is as important as alcohol). But as I noted, any non-profit that align with your values is good.

Lots of stories here, here is mine: I started volunteering at my local non-profit bar/pub/coffeeshop 6 months ago (runned by volunteers only, there is no employee). It has done wonder to my social life: I spent the previous 3 year

How about ensuring tap water is actually drinkable and stop water bottles altogether? It still boggles my mind that people continue buying water bottles where tap water is totally ok (and in some case, better than bottled water).

This is not about Europe data privacy laws. It's about businesses misusing APIs in a way not intended by Apple. MDMs are meant to allow a business to manage its devices through a third-party provider. They are NOT meant for personal us

Thank you for the tip. The issue is not so much about the browser, as I'm an app editor (which happens to also sell tablets with our apps preinstalled to reduce friction). The issue is that apps that rely on the device certificate stor

I wouldn't leave for any realistic amount. 20%, 50%, 100%. Even a x10 wouldn't be enough to make me leave (after that it starts to get really unrealistic, and I don't hypothesize on unrealistic situations). The other dev in m

One of the main game changer for me has been having a great Product Manager. I went a lot of time with not-stellar PMs, and some time with no PM at all, and having a new PM who is great at his job lately have made a huge difference. What&#x

The most important I can think about right now is a CLI Mac app to install apk/ipa on devices (iOS and Android). You see, my company has about 10 apps, all sort-of maintained, that we manually test on several devices for each single fe

First, you need to choose if you are going to improve it, or ultimately abandon it. That's not an easy decision. If you decide to abandon it, you need some very convincing arguments, and lots of them. Before making that decision, work

The problem is that it's not money thrown at it directly. When you pay a company, they can use that money directly. When you buy some coins, the developers/the company generally do not benefit directly. Some developers don't

They don't start with C, they start with Arduino, which incidentally requires C++. The big difference is that you can easily have blinking LEDs, sensors and what not, which makes the act of programming more "concrete".
