We made an Android game whack a mole. I prepared it so far that she only had to make drawing routines and click handling. I always stopped the session soon, as it requires lot of capasity from the Child and is tiring.

"This was an incredibly dumb move, as employees will become “quiet quitters” and lose morale." Suppose you need to cut employment costs. Is this always better than firing staff? - For employees: you share the burden instead of som

How about talking it out with one of the managers. Someone you think you can talk to. Talking can immediately relieve the situation, at least make you feel better that you got it shared. If you think you might be facing layoffs, Talks might

Legion gaming laptops (and I guess all similar) are fast. If they can run games, they can run compiler. At least this is an issue for me, compiling server on my own laptop takes time if there's not enough power.

Vaadin meets all your requirements. It has some templates so you can basically make an app by just commenting stuff out.

Plans are not for reading but for writing. When you write stuff down you think about it = you plan. For others it should be enough that they know you made a plan. Unless they think they can deduce if it's a good one by reading it.

I use as little Apple technology as possible, using frameworks like https://www.electronjs.org/ - to reduce my dependency on Apple. App Store is not unique, it is a platform copied from other vendors such as Nokia: https:&

This is an essential part of software design today in General. If a part of your system takes time to develope, it should be an instinctive signal to look an alternative. When all of your time is spent on creating value for the customer ins

I am trying to cure myself with a surrogate. The surrogate is Facebook Oculus Quest VR. This might seem funny at first, but there are some advantages: while you stare at the screen, you also move at the same time, which I feel is important

The comment reminds me of Nokia end times. Everyone said they mastered logistics.

This article is interestingly promotes kinda flawed communist thinking about 'overperforming losers'. Most companies make 'reasonable' profits or even losses. You could say normal range for profits is -5% to +10%. When t

They did that at 2015 already? Man... I thought it was a never thing that they got rotten. For digital service/content providers Play-stores are a must-have. For this kind of companies these platforms are a government like power, excep

Spent last summer building a one room log cabin. In the end I wound up using makita battery powered chainsaw. You can do precision work and quickly too. I did not have any skill before and my vacation was short, but theres now a 5' by

This is the other side of the Play-store problem. The other side is the tax. Play store employee can ban your app = destroy your business at any time. The reason can be 'new policy', 'misunderstanding' or something more

"This thread is like a piñata" Cudos for having master class control of the word. My favorite punch bag are play stores, root of all evil. A list of cycling subjects that split opinions about 50-50 in this news group would be hil

"Besides being a dream for micromanagers, it seems to be more about signalling progress vs. actually making progress." Sounds you would like proof that scrum does not work. Instead, how about looking at the parts that could work f

It's long time ago so I don't remember well, but at least the camera was not fast (I was working with camera stuff at the point so that's what I paid attention to). It was slow, barren of features and looked like developed ha

The point is, that it's not a static situation, but can get worse. I don't know what you are doing, but we are a normal SaaS company. The current situation is that we can pretty much avoid problems with Apple and Google like Netfl

30% is not just for apps but all digital content like Spotify. Now if we see a future where Apple wins and dominates: everyone creating digital content for a living will pay a 30% tax to Apple. Forever including your grandchildren. Now lets

When you put it this way, it makes perfect sense. My first computer C64 came with Basic pre-installed and that's how an eight year old learned to code. I guess the equivalent would be, that there would a button 'code' on the

It looks the consensus here is pretty much that anyone who tried the latest tech understands that we have went beyond a certain point here. Comparing to phones, I think this is the point where we have keypad-phones. Content is still limited

Right, this is the network effect behind it. There is never before experienced convenience as you buy your apps, movies, books and songs from one place, which is in your pocket. Then there's the other store for all tangible things (Ama

Browsing forwards, I looked upon mentioned Sherman and Clayton acts. Clayton act seems to be specifically about mergers. It looks to me that Sherman act might not be applied to app stores because it excludes 'historic accident and grow

The article shows how competition and increased demand drop the solar and wind price. How obvious when you think about it, technologies that are based on building plants have limited competition, or even legislation that prevents competitio

I'm a bit slow thinker, so it took me some time to put this into words. This article helped me to do it. Google and Apple app stores are mechanisms which are used prevent, snuffle and destroy competing digital services. They prevent co

This is really inspirational, according to the instructions it would also take only a day to make with a friend. A day well spent I would say. Does anyone know what kind of generator setup you should get for charging a car battery? A link w
