   I was pretty disappointment by Noita I had been looking forward to this game for years before it was released, but it ended up being quite a different game then I had intuited from the trailers. I expected an environmental sandbox where you

   MacOS's fullscreen 'solution' is just atrocious compared to the default window snapping in Windows. It manages to feel both half assed in design and half assed in implementation. A third party window manager for Mac OS is a m

   I have seen my enthusiast desktop rig rev up and slow to a crawl just by scrolling down reddit. I have seen a collection of ~10 reddit tabs work on 6 (!!!) gigs of ram. Reddit has become a condensed form of all that is so awful about modern

   There is already high friction for existing communities to switch over to a new platform before you factor in the dealkiller that is a subscription cost.

   You should read further in the article, it discusses just that, including an initiative to offshore medical scribing to India.

    That doesn't have much bearing on the cost of switching considering most of that friction is borne of investment into a particular platform and the intentional difficulty in migrating to another platform. This is the central caveat of

    Target might exist alongside several other competing retailers on the same block. The friction for a customer to leave and shop at a competing retailer is low. To extend this analogy, The Apple store exists in a company town, and the fricti

    I'll end it with this interesting tidbit I found on hacker news about timescales involved in cyclical universes. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20116147

    Perhaps your perception of time ceases and therefore and eternity can pass in the blink of an eye. If the universe is in the long run cyclical then maybe the moment you die is the moment you wake up in another skull. Of course, that idea ma

    I would say already that the most creative minds of younger generations are almost entirely moving to the indie and middle market games industry. In 2019 I played new titles like Outer Wilds, Disco Elysium, Baba is You & Ape Out. I&#x27

    As a independent dev I would rather spend my time working on new features and projects on an OS where my older projects continue to work fine rather than spend my time constantly playing catch up with Apples policies. This combined with the

    Spotify blows Apple Music out of the water on these kinds of reccomendations, the playlist radios and user discovery playlists are pretty impressive.

    I strongly recommend the book 'The Mind Illuminated'. It is written by a neuroscientist who is also an expert practitioner of meditation. That said, it is far less casual than apps like headspace; the principle goal of the book is

    Having a timer is excellent because it keeps you from having to constantly utilize your attention to consider how long you have been sitting and how much longer you should sit.

    This is likely very much on Apple for depreciating OpenGL for a proprietary standard, making cross platform development a hell of a lot of work for such a niche market. Combine that with the lack of Nvidea drivers and Macs are in an especia
