He's rude but right though. Nothing in the West is even closely comparable to what is happening to Russia nowadays let alone the First and Second World War. People that say the West is about as bad as Russia really don't have any

Did you notice that nowadays a lot of websites have a lot of uninteresting drivel giving a "background" to whatever the thing was you were searching for before you get to read (hopefully) the thing you were searching for? People d

Peronism was virtually debt free until the coup. Massive debt started under the military. Peronism paid off 50% of the debts since 2001 until a right wing government doubled the debt again. I’m nut a huge fan of any of the Peronist governme

I thought Beamrider, Jungle Hunt or H.E.R.O were pretty nice to play again. But there's not that much I would revisit otherwise. Funny enough Colecovision barely seemed better than Atari to me back in the days, but I started out with a

I saw a Samsung 8k screen and the resolution was amazing. Of course there was not much more content available than just that demo movie, but still it was interesting. I do see individual pixels on retina screens but I don't notice them

JavaScript is hell. You can get so much done with the basic supplied libraries when programming for .Net, JVM or Cocoa. What a giant leap back we made in terms of ecosystem and language by going for JavaScript everywhere.

For some reason there’s a niche of people that drive RAM Vans in the Netherlands. Not sure why exactly that brand and model but it’s the only ‘Murican style trick you see on our roads.

When building small scale one off applications for small businesses I’m type 1, building a mobile application for the masses turns me into type 2. Mobile users should be approached as retards.

Started a new app last year using Stotyboards and AppKit and haven’t regretted it for a second. I use SwiftUI on iOS devices on a daily basis and I don’t have to dip into UIKit very often anymore, but AppKit on macOS was always more mature

Haven't touched it in decades. But dragging in misinformation to somehow associate MDMA with the ongoing opioid crisis in the US is completely messed up and pretty much how we ended up in this situation in the first place.

How the hell do you even dare to lob MDMA in the same category as Oxycontin? I have seen pretty much every substance abused daily (amphetamines, different types of legal medication, alcohol, marihuana, heroin) by people I knew, but I have n

Might have to do with notarization. Notarized apps are checked against an Apple API every time they're launched if I'm correct.

It’s not that rare in for example more expensive Yamaha or Ensoniq instruments. I used an SY-85 to play an Oberheim Matrix 1000 and it was really mind blowing. I could hold a string chord for a minute without it getting boring, not even try

There are two funnels: one for apps that get approved the first time, one for rejected apps trying to get approved after doing some changes. If you're in the second funnel, it's much much harder to get approved then if you would s

I had AirPods since the launch day. The battery was not great to begin with and they decayed pretty fast. After that they're basically trash as replacing the batteries is about as expensive as buying new ones. I'm back to EarPods

Converted a simple WinForms app for scanning and reordering medications using Xamarin Mac and storyboards. It was relatively painless.
