Yes, there's definitely still a place for them. I'd say that that when you're writing an application which is fundamentally just a pretty wrapper (e.g. it exists to take user input and pipe it over HTTP to some web service or

Children are young, innocent and widely appealing. School uniforms invoke a sense of nostalgia and make people living in Japan's harsh working culture think of their much happier high school days. Plus, much of a child's life will

Genuinely curious, what kinds of projects are better suited to a Teensy than an Arduino, ESP32 or some form of Raspberry Pi? Is the main advantage the pin count?

This is nearly always a problem in open communities with voting. Even if such ettiquette is in place, enough people will ignore it or disagree on what it means that it may as well not exist. As a result, discussions boil down to relatively

I don't want to sound too preachy but I find it often helps to assume the best of everyone. Most people aren't idiots, they just see things differently sometimes. I thought about it a bit and I think that if you see something you

Circumvention of DRM is illegal or at least very much frowned-upon in many jurisdictions, while research on how to produce better DRM is not. Framing it as "we broke DRM, isn't that great?" would be like framing a paper about

I'm not trying to condescend or be a backseat programmer, I apologize if my tone suggested otherwise. I know that I have no idea what I'm talking about and I know that there are plenty of competent game developers in the industry.

I understand that but it feels like there's a lot of focus on client-side anti-cheat while cheats that should be trivially detected server-side still exist (like flying through the air in a game where that shouldn't be possible).

Interactive Brokers is by no means a replacement for TransferWise. It doesn't even permit you to send money to an account that isn't in your name. That said, its currency conversion is the real deal. If you have an account with th
