Weird, that was what I originally posted but someone (dang?) changed it to Twitter.

Keep in mind that many of these values are for a laptop (MacBook Air) with no fan at all (the MacBook Pro and Mac Mini are only marginally better even with a fan). I doubt there is any other fan-less laptop in the world which can run Baldur

Absolutely. Our smallish company has used Discord all year long for our company communication and I could hardly be happier. They have an excellent bot API, a super clean yet playful interface, instant search and just don't feel/s

Well-written piece on what all signs seem to be pointing to as a truly historic move by Apple. Key quote for me: "The logic behind Apple’s transition [from PowerPC] to Intel boiled down to an old axiom: If you can’t beat them, join the

Posted this quite a while back and thought I'd try again since I've added Android and non-TrueDepth iOS support. Happy to answer any questions - here are a few typical ones: "How does it work?" - It uses your phone'

The article could do without the emotionally manipulative headline (the newer one seems a bit better: "Widow fights Apple, privacy law in honouring husband's dying wish"). But it really does showcase a growing problem that wi

It's a 4x optical zoom (or 5x in the Max), opposed to NO optical zoom at all in the non-pro version.

Just to say out of the 10 or so that I read, at least 7 were really clever, great food for thought. Bookmarked! Thanks for sharing this.

Wow, it nailed it for me, this is wild. How in the world does this work so well? Is this based on some kind of research re: personality & vocabulary or something?

Just to chime in here to agree - the first five work sessions I used Brain.fm I kept thinking "I really do feel more focused, I wonder if this is a placebo. Maybe it's a placebo." At this point, I think even if it is a placeb

Given that the App Store search has one of the worst search algorithms in a major search engine that I know of, I am not holding my breath for an Apple search product...on their hand, when Apple does get something right, they hit it out of

Thanks! For me, and this surprised me a bit, the most frustrating parts actually weren’t any of the APIs but just plain old network headaches - it took me a bit to figure out the UDP protocol OpenTrack needs, but then it was often strugglin

This has been a fun project - moving the camera around in games like Flight Simulator simply by slightly moving your head is really immersive. Not quite VR, but good enough! Happy to answer any questions. (Coming soon - a version that will

This is not surprising to me, and I have to say, I completely agree with it. Epic publicly and blatantly bypassed multiple App Store restrictions with their move today. Surely they were expecting this to happen, so what comes next? Perhaps

My money is on Apple cracking down hard on this. It looks clearly as if Epic remotely activated this direct payment option, thereby bypassing Apple's App Review. Apple will not take kindly to this. Best case scenario for Epic (and Fort
