Yesterday I visited an old, but still reasonably healthy man who has been living in Thailand for 40 years now, maybe longer. Reasonably healthy as in: he doesn't need to visit hospital or use medicine, but his power is now waning a bit

I liked Civ II a lot, but I feel Civ V with all expansions was best. Still haven’t tried Civ VI though, waiting for a bargain with all expansions included.

I suspect many powerful people in Thailand feel the same (as many powerful families in Thailand are of Chinese decent). Another interesting tidbit is that after a civil war in China, part of the Chinese army that lost the war fled to northe

That was my guess as well. And as a lifelong Mac user it makes me consider switching to Linux as well. It’s just that I still need macOS for iOS dev right now, but that might change in coming months ...

I’ve started looking into MAUI over the last week and it honestly seems like a big improvement over Forms, in various ways. Though it’s probably risky to use in production.

I feel it's likely the Ukraine will be disillusioned if NATO is able to librate them. Because from my understanding, the USA only has granted loans to Ukraine (though EU might have gifted some weapons). If NATO wins the war, it's

I think he meant that Russia is pretty much surrounded by NATO allies, excluding of course China and this is something Russia is not to happy about (stated this many times in the past as NATO was expanding).

This is a long story and I am not sure if it will be useful to you (or anyone else for that matter), but I'll post it here anyways. I lost both my parents and sister in a car accident, about 20 years ago. I was raised in a close family

While I submitted this article, cause it raises some interesting points, I still do pretty much all of my programming in object oriented style. But for my next project I want to try the procedural approach. With that said, I've always

There's some videos on the internet claiming object oriented programming is pretty bad in many situations. And lately I've been wondering if there's a kernel of truth in this statement. As an alternative, often procedural pro
