Adaptation from Brian Herbert & Kevin Anderson, illustrated by Raúl Allén and Patricia Martín. Highly recommend.

3 months without using a programing language, and I forget 70% of its syntax. A bit embarrassing to admit, but to me it helps with that, really simple things that I forgot because I don't use them frequently enough. Sometimes I also us

In a movie, if a character is far away, their voice comes from far away. Voice actors always have the mic in front of them, so their voices always come from the same place, not relative to the scene. That's what I meant. I also think

Voices in dubbed movies don't have any depth, for instance. That doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the voice actors. Everything sounds flat because that is just how they record it. Dubbing is a useful convenience, an

I like this! I guess the obvious missing features would be: - Tailored to personal preferences in terms of language/country, topic, sentiment (eg. positive things happening in the world) - Summary with the top X news of the day (in 1 l

Even then, I don't strive to deeply understand everything that I read. I explore, try to be curious and open minded, and then pick my battles.

That assumes that you want to memorize everything that you read. I disagree with the premise. I don't want to memorize everything I read, as a matter of fact, I am happy forgetting most of it.

I think they try to encourage it, they have security and performance guidelines. I don't know how hard they are to follow or how effective they are. I don't know to what extent the "path of least resistance lead to a bloated

Unwelcoming stereotypes and labels were not called for. Arguments were called for, which you give 0.

Comparing to web apps was out of scope, but if I understand you right, I disagree with this. Many apps should not need an active internet connection. You can't do local first / offline first. Users don't own their data, need

Thanks for answer. > I prefer elegance in my software Do you mean in the software you develop, consume, or both? Do you reject Electron apps only on the basis of being Electron?

I see. The risk of Apple crippling non native apps is a good argument. Thanks.

I used to think the same, and I admit that having children yourself is deff a factor, but I have been surprised by how good kids books and shows can be these days. Nothing to do when I was a kid, so I would not rule it out.

Mechanics can't be copyrighted, but the board gaming community can smell rip offs from afar and don't particularly appreciates them. Besides, it's going to be madness to advertise that you have the game X on your platform but

Looks very cool, congrats on the initiative! I think it can be great to develop prototypes, but to build a BGA alternative you will need permission from the publishers to implement / distribute their games, and given how big is BGA and

Anki algorithm's is extremely punishing, which is awful for language learning. I think SRS needs to be only a small part of the learning routine, the cherry on the cake. For me that is ~15 minutes / day, and backlog is manageable

To add another idea, perhaps suggest him to do first, as a trial, a physical version of it (a board game). Tell him that is a good approach to explore the design space, playability, etc. It adds a different set of constraints, but it is lik
