I moved to a small city in the south of Chile with my wife who's also doing business remotely. You can live really comfortable here for less than $2k/mo for two people. While we are not in a countryside yet, we bought a half hecta

Not Xamarin but Xamarin.Forms, basic Xamarin doesn't have issues with UI performance.

I tried it multiple times but the contrast is too low for me. I've been using a custom RailsCasts-derived (no red!) color scheme for many years, here's a version for VS: https://studiostyl.es/schemes/kodkod

Luckily most of my active communities are on Discord nowadays. It works much faster and even has a dark theme by default.

Yes, I'm finishing a four-tab app with some tables and it works perfectly. Just don't touch Xamarin.Forms (it's still buggy and slow), use the bindings to the native frameworks instead. So far I have 65% code reuse with MvvmC

It's the basics of mindfulness: being aware of your emotions and not feeding them by redirecting your attention to something else. If both partners focus on being kind and understanding towards each other, their negative emotions can&#

"Should come before" implied shifting priorities: I didn't suggest to rob somebody of beneficial tools but to provide at least basic training before giving access to a potentially dangerous technology.

One more case of the technical progress causing a great amount of harm by being ahead of the ethical progress. "Educating the world" should come before "connecting the world".

I don't see much difference in the iOS simulator: deploy and launch take 3-5s. It's about the same for the Android emulator but I have no experience with Java development, so I don't know if it's fast enough.
