Nokia transit / HERE transit was my favorite public transit app back when I used windows phone. It had a unique way [1] of presenting transit options that was far more convenient than the simple list that every other app does. Sadly th

I use the m1 air for web development and the 16:10 aspect ratio combined with the retina screen and the gestures to easily swipe between full screen applications makes it feel less cramped than the 14 inch 1080p thinkpad it replaced. I neve

It’s sort of how blocking of websites was introduced in some of the countries of the EU to combat sexual abuse of minors (CIRCAMP), and then the infrastructure set up to do it was reused to block torrent sites, fake goods sites, phishing si

Media reporting on climate change is often dramatically wrong, whether it takes the slant of “everything is terrible” or “things are actually great”. Go read how the IPCC reports are authored, you’ll hopefully develop some faith about the a

This july I tried one month of living close to the beach, in a rental apartment. I took half of the time off, and the rest of the time I worked from “home”. I went to the beach every day, and plenty of days I went all day. By the end of the

The M2 mba doesn’t seem that much bigger than the 11 inch. When I compare my old 11 inch and my m1 they feel of a similar size and weight class, and the m2 is smaller and lighter than the m1. 11 inch mba: Dimensions: .11-.68 x 11.8 x 7.56 (

We've got input-heavy UIs, the one I'm working on right now is a single window with >150 input fields including multiple child tables up to levels 3 deep with their own grids. I went through this transition in the late 2000’s

I always suspect those people who brag they do 60+ hour weeks continuously without a problem of not being responsible for the care of their kids or their household. In my view all of the work in our life piles up, whether it is actual work,

Gaming on mac is a bit like guessing wrong in the console wars back in the day: there are far fewer games, and they’re usually late. But if you aren’t picky about specific games, there’s something from every category that runs on m1.

Dall-e must generate an image, even for a random prompt of letters, because it has been trained to do only that. Take a human, hold a gun to their head, and force them to paint an image for a random string of letters, and I guarantee they w

I have done both models. My previous job we had a monolith on top of a 1200 table database. Now I work in an ecosystem of 400 microservices, most with their own database. What it fundamentally boils down to is that your org chart determines

Software used to require little maintenance work. You would buy your software and run it without a single byte changed for 5 or 10 years, and then buy a new version. This worked because OS updates were rare, and everything was local and fil

Msn messenger had custom emoticons in 2003. Me and my friends had our own little vernacular of custom emojis. And then microsoft forced everyone onto skype. I keep being amazed how chat hasn’t really improved in decades, only churned.
