As someone who loved coding in VB6: (I actually dreamt about it the other night, thought I woke up some 20 yrs ago!) - very cool that you got to interview the VB team, your article is high on my reading list :) - to OP’s point, I recently s

On the other extreme, if you ever want to see the actual (charming) city where Brazilian tv and cinema productions portraying the colonial period (16th-19th cent) are filmed, it’s called Tiradentes, in Minas Gerais. Definitely worth a trip

To this day I cannot think of any other movie that is exclusively shot with natural light.

I was recently in Torino and I have to say I ate my best pizza ever there - all gluten-free

I cut gluten from my diet more than one year ago. After the first two or three months I started noticing the effects: I never felt better in my whole life, my weight went down to what a normal figure for me would be, a lot of people told me

I use the Swiss layout for the exact same reasons. Plus, it’s easy to find here in Switzerland. The only extra keys are the ones one uses a lot when typing German and French.

I went to one with my family twice. That part was nice, and the service was good too. But I am always in awe of just how sugary and caloric and big meals in the US in general are (of course not CCF-specific) so that part detracts a bit from

I think that is pretty cool - literally made me screen "Yes!" when I saw it and I don't do this for your everyday framework. I think the beauty of keras was the perfect balance between simplicity/abstraction and flexibil

Full-building graphite are one of the hallmarks of downtown Belo Horizonte. I remember as a kid seeing some of those impressive, surrealistic images. They made a big impression on me, I wish I knew who the artist(s) was/were.

I cannot describe how I feel hearing the sounds and tunes coming out of that flute. To know I am experiencing music with that particular timbre fills my soul with awe that we have this link to the past. And the affirmation that it is suffic
