Absolutely love orchids, they're pretty abundant where I live and even within the region the variety is huge! They make fantastic house plants, very low maintenance assuming your climate is appropriate, but please source them ethically

I have a 1940s house with solid timber benchtops, yes they take a little more care (no hot pans) but from what I hear stone counters stain easily anyway. The nice thing about wood is you can just sand it back and refinish and it will look a

Perhaps by learning to use the YT API (seriously something that should take 2 hours max if you know how http works) you'll learn something from their design choices, or develop opinions on what makes a good API. And by learning a bit m

The big one for me with sheet music is being able to add notes, scribble, etc. It would be way to slow in the middle of a rehearsal to take down some direction from the conductor on a tablet

Chips are only going to get more powerful and smaller, you can already play a lot of games on a pi, I imagine you'll be able to play the current gen in something similar in a decade. I've actually been thinking about building a ha

Agree, I imagine just maxing VMG on the fly as conditions change is something a computer could already outperform humans easily. I've wanted to make a simple sailing game for a while now but found it very hard to actually get something

I went through several "challenging" (I prefer this to "Bad", you still learn something from them) trips in my 20s, some I felt like I'd conquered or come to terms with a part of my psyche, others threw me into a de

Wow, I recently saw some old car catalogues from similar era, cars and computers used to be so so expensive!

I think it was the lighting, everything is so shiny and reflective gave the modern game this weird dreamlike feel whereas the original (also my favourite game which I replay every few years) feels dark and gritty

Another great example of the genre (although very different setting) was Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Very detailed medieval world (that felt quite historically accurate) and lots of different ways to solve problems.

Density works but isn't it just kicking the can down the road until population growth and inflation drives prices up again?

I've slowly come to enjoy Angular, although the templating definitely feels clunky coming from React. My biggest gripe is the lack of nice component libraries: Material just looks hideous, NgPrime has ads in the documentation and gener

It's so bizarre to me as an Australian that these are considered "compact". Here they are the standard utility vehicle for every tradesman (although the Toyota Hilux is perhaps most popular). Coming from my hatchback I find t

Great game, controls felt tight and difficult was well balanced. My one complaint is the stages are way too long, it feels like a slog until you get to a boss

A trend I've noticed is a tendency toward beige, dull pastel palettes, soft organic shapes and timber in toys (and clothes) for babies ala montessori. I believe this is driven by parent's sense of aesthetics opposed to user resear

I only just this year discovered Yellow Magic Orchestra, such forward music for it's time and I feel hugely influenced a lot of the video game composers of later years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQruh2g1Ywo

Still heavily used in gov / enterpries / finance. Anecdotally after 6 years of React, switching back to Angular it has a huge learning curve. Such a large surface area with zonejs, rxjs, modules. I feel productive with it now and
