PhotoSync is great. I use it all the time to sync my photos to my Synology NAS. Tons of options and filters to sync only what you need. - Rename photos when syncing (timestamp based file names) - Ignore screenshots, WhatsApp and other stuff

You don't write an API to port stuff to your competitor. You write a JSON or CSV export and competitors can then make an import tool for your data format (and vice versa). Is this really an effort? It's basically a JOIN over a bun

How do you deal with the fact that fonts render differently on different platforms and it might look off on one of them, because the user isn’t used to the Canvas font rendering? Or is this not an issue?

I'm like you. I want as few dependencies as possible. I liked this about PHP: You could get very far without any dependencies at all. For a toy project, pull in some dependencies. For a more serious project that requires to do due dili

Yes, sustained growth of Apple over the past 20 years makes buying Apple stock an investment. Shareholder gains come either from dividends or stock buybacks (which is kinda the same), but not every uptick in the stock price is because of va

This is helpful! What I always found odd: For many years, mobile users had @2x displays and desktop users @1x. If you just decorate an article that as roughly a width of 800px, a crisp article image was bigger in file size for mobile users

Germany ditched the holding period a while back for stocks. You pay 25% plus a little bit (26.375% in reality) on every gain, no matter if you hold it for 10 years or for two seconds. Bitcoin is tax-free after a holding period of 1 year afa

No. This is a common way to think about it, but it's wrong imho. Because that money is real and it buys you real stuff. If you have that money one day and it is gone the next, you effectively lost that money. It doesn't matter whe
