I developed a what I would consider a pretty small application with Power Apps, and it was an incredibly impressive platform. Internal application, about 200 users, 2000ish records of data generated each day. However, I wouldn’t want to bui

That would have been a tough environment to walk into, having your instincts shout at you there was a fight about break out. I think there are a lot more than just two types of intimate spaces for men. The best part is people have the abili

If the goal was to objectively evaluate ability in a broad population, I 100% agree. However, if my dev shop primarily uses Python then selecting for people familiar with Python is pretty reasonable. Thankfully there is a giant corpus of te

Oh it makes total sense, for sure. Sorry if I came across pretending it is simple, it absolutely isn’t. I guess that’s the role of tool builders - is to find ways to do the impossible to support artist workflows. The first step is to find o

I’m no the target user, I haven’t built games in years, but I loved watching the videos, and your approach of making a sprite editor for doing real work. Many many years ago I built Quake 3D model editors. One of the features added in was b

I think it is more that it doesn’t load any resources automatically from external sites, a common way to share visitor information with third parties without JavaScript. For me it’s a sensible way to earn trust . There are many third party

One of the pain points I’ve experienced with configuration of traditional VPNs is when devices physically connect to different parts of the network when staff travel between home and different offices. For a small example, when working from

I can think of a few applications of this technology, although some may fall into the deception category, albeit harmless in my view: - overcoming social anxiety in voice or online calls. It doesn’t take very many bullying incidents during

Oh definitely agree on the non-idiomatic python. I was thinking less of "how to correctly implement and write the python code" and more of the "learn the history and decisions on why it might do things, and the user experienc

It feels the article was light on details and data, but the gist I got from it was that it is now harder to secure a very high paying job if you are at an early stage in your career? In Australia the number of job ads seem to be as high as

It's been bugging me for years, but I don't really enjoy modern HTML/CSS for fluid layouts when it comes to forms. To do really nice form layouts in a desktop application, alignment and sizing of labels across the entire form

Oh wow, I haven't thought about Jidesoft in YEARS. I used it back in the early 2000 to add some much nicer data grids, toolbars and other things to our mining software package. Those were the days!

Been chipping away at this as a side project for many years - Visual Project Planning and Scheduling. Draw on a whiteboard and it makes a levelled schedule for you. It has resources, equipment, and much easier to understand than MS Project.
