This is happening to me at the moment, currently upcycling an old timber door into a bench I find woodworking a lot more satisfying than coding. You can point to something solid and say, "I made that", and your family don't h

OK, you obviously know more than me about electronic warfare. But regarding the kinetic, when and where might they have "dropped" them already?

Hard to argue with that. Why is it when you google "Build cross platform desktop apps" there are no hits for Java in the first five pages? It's Electron on every page, with a few passing mentions of Qt. Even Haxe gets a look

I have a similar setup, Rpi3 with OSMC / Kodi installed. I turned an old 500GB laptop drive into an external HD for storage, with reuse of parts I'd say the whole thing cost me €50/€60 - for the Rpi3, Case, PSU (though most m

I was working on a video project for a local comics convention, and named the project file "con.proj". That file hung around until I upgraded my hard drive because no file manager could delete it.

Sad to see Rebellion sinking so low. I was a big fan of 2000ad in my youth. In the 90s, the Kingsley brothers - also life long fans - bought the comic and started making games from its IP. It was a dream come true for me. Unfortunately none

Like a few others here, I also work remote. Zero commute makes a big big difference. It means you can step away from work and instantly be at home. It also means you can see the wife and kids during coffee breaks. Also, instead of sitting i

You think that's a waste of brain power? By 2014 humans had collectively spent 200,000 years playing angry birds. That was 3 years ago, and I'm sure pokemon go has at least tripled that record by now. Between than and all other vi

I'd suggest you try a standing desk for a few weeks. You can easily MacGyver something together that will be the exact right height for you. Before I committed fully and built a proper stander, I started out with a drawing board on sta

RN for windows is for UWP / store apps only. If you don't want to use the store, or want RN on windows 7 you're out of luck. I think even windows 8 might be off the table

> you're doing it wrong "wrong" is subjective here. You could also argue that Ruby+Tk is "wrong" because Ruby is not as efficient as coding in C++, or C, or Assembly. What we're talking about here, (and ever

How about a Windows Phone? I know security through obscurity is generally not encouraged, but the fact is that the majority of exploits target iOS and Android, because the WP market share is so tiny that it's just not worth trying. Tha
