Usually yes. Web apps are simple. There isn't much to do inside a request params to db to response call. But sometimes, not every year, there is something to really reason about. I still remember some project from 10 or 20 years ago.

Ultimately all the money Apple is making from the store comes from the pockets of people. If apps won't have to pay a cut to Apple, people would be left with more money in their pockets. If all apps were free and no sales would be forc

In my experience engaging a dynamo is worth one switch of the gear on a 7 gear cassette. I accept the tradeoff of having to pocket the light.

I've seen this arrangement countless times in cities: First key for the gate on the road to get into the yard. Second key for the gate in the yard to the stairs and elevator. Third and possibly fourth key for the door to the apartment.

Wouldn't the center be the Big Bang and the 3D Universe at the current time (if Relativity lets me write about a current time) be the 3D surface of the 4D sphere (or spheroid) that the Big Bang is creating by keeping to expand?
