Boardgames are an excellent gateway drug into friendships. Some people you already know or meet love to play them once you get your initial party together, get enthusiastic about them, invite other people they know and before you know it yo

My problem is worse: I can't motivate myself to play videogames anymore. "Oh no, more time spent with a computing device!". I procrastinate a lot but I notice taking a break will give fresh insights. I make my breaks useful,

It’s still possible on iOS but if you declined the official pop-up once you can’t show it again. But you can annoy the users with different and equally intrusive pop-ups asking you to go to settings to change it for example.

Yet across the Polish border developers are relatively well paid versus the suits and it's actually an attractive profession for people that are career oriented. I always see more women working in IT where the job actually pays well, i

Perhaps a bit over generalized but I do feel that there’s an unusual large gap in salary between suits and devs even when comparing to countries like Germany. It doesn’t need to be a huge tech hub at all. Luckily English resembles Dutch so

The Netherlands is a special place in Software Hell. Where the non-suits are only a cost. "Devs can't be cheap enough! We can't find decent devs!"

True. But for Objective-C I often used the NY Times style guide. Just whatever the one is that is the most complete and most easy to maintain really. But I notice with C# that if I copy-paste reasonably fresh code from Stack Overflow to VS

First agree on what it should actually be and document that. Make sure nobody commits anything that makes the codebase worse. Don’t refactor but clean first, and only while delivering value.

Usually there’s a style that’s mandated by large authorities like C# formatting is mandated by Microsoft and JetBrains. Copying their style gets you there for 80%. The rest is whatever you agree on and usually not something that bothers me.

A linter and code conventions are a way to make code more consistent and easier to switch between. At times it becomes hard to see what code you wrote and what somebody else wrote, which is a good thing. If I open a file and everything &quo

You need to get the programmers together and agree on a coding guideline, a linter and other architectural fundamentals. Then the gardening phase begins, which means no refactoring or warning or style fixes unless you touch the code to do s

Felix Krause works for Google these days. Since he got hired he got a bit more critical to the platform. Perhaps no more “I hope this doesn’t piss off Apple” mentality?

That looks great and it’s relatively affordable. I’ll dig into it.

The great thing about a headphone port is that if you stick something in it you won't ever hear anything over the speaker. A bluetooth headset might not be connected (anymore) and you won't notice until it starts blaring. I use it

It used to be rated much higher, but after Apple bought it some of the more rabid users of Android felt the necessity to post negative reviews because they're so offended by iPhones every day of their lives. Something similar to: http

I think there can be different reasons to hire someone. If I'm running a project and I'm having all kinds of problems to get my node.js performance to an acceptable level I'd look for a programmer that knows how to tweak node

The Android back button is in the right position but does three things depending on the application: - Go back one document (like internet) - Go back one screen - Leave the app A lot of Android users just hammer the back button and then the

First of all those buttons shouldn't be up there to begin with. They're too far away from the fingers of most users to tap comfortably one-handed after Apple moved up to 4" screens and larger. Android has it in the right posi

The dice should have been tested before changing them. They might haven't been perfect dice to begin with. Also the lack of automatization is disturbing. I find it shocking that no robot arm or pattern recognition was used to do the te

I still like Objective-C even if it isn't my go-to language anymore. It's quite elegant compared to it's peers from the 80's, it's a very small language yet you can achieve everything with it, even if it means dippi
