A few points: - It's very unclear what your complaint with Grok exactly is. - What do you mean it's a scam? It's an AI tool, probably by Twitter's own making. It does much the same as other AI tools. - Yes, AI tools migh

I recently started replaying Syndicate again as well, but I do think the game has some issues. - Gameplay is very simple, not much strategy involved. - Missions are pretty much all the same, very little variety. - Perhaps because I am older

Was Apple Watch a huge hit? Like did it make a lot of money for Apple? I feel the last huge hit was the iPad.

In 2024 Toyota in Thailand introduced a cheap pick-up that is a bit under 15.000 USD when THB is converted to USD. I think it's rather neat - the basic model is /very/ basic, but lots of options to customize. https:/&#x

The Mac Plus didn’t have an internal hard drive. So you need to start the OS from a floppy. My father used an external hard drive with his Mac Plus, back in the day.

I am not a European citizen anymore, but I was born and raised in The Netherlands, lived there until about 30 years old. But if I still lived there, I would have more trust in US companies to be honest. I actually use US-based DNS to this d

Maybe I am the odd one out, but I don’t hate JIRA. From my POV it works pretty well. I would agree Github Issues would be nicer though. By the way in last few companies I worked at I’ve been using Azure DevOps and that feels over engineered

Some companies these days write majority of platform independent code in Kotlin and just a thin UI layer for iOS in Swift. So perhaps that is a smarter approach. I can't tell from experience myself but talked with people who do this an

I don't feel C# is that Microsoft-centric anymore - not after the release of Roslyn. It works well on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and I suspect Linux as well (but I never use Linux, hence I can't be sure). And if you want a multi

There's the Local Lua Debugger [0]. I don't know how it compares to decoda, but I experimented a bit with this debugger last weekend and it seems nice enough - well integrated into VS Code. --- [0]: https://github.com&#

I don't mind submodules much. I mean when I first used them I thought it was sucked, but now I use it all the time for personal projects. I like to make small Lua libs or fork existing Lua libs and include those in a lib directory in m

I believe the IT market is very tough now. I was looking for last 3 months or so, until I contacted an old employer and he told me I could work with them. Another ex-colleague of mine contacted me as well who's been freelancing for man

I find 'simple' languages charming. Hence, I still like Objective-C. I also like Lua a lot. I liked Swift when I tried it a couple of years ago, but it seems overloaded with features these days. I haven't tried Swift UI yet

Thanks I encountered the Github repo earlier and it can be useful. Didn't find the second link myself so that's cool. I wonder if there's some lectures to follow as well, on this topic.

Actually in Thailand I don't think many people own a desktop. But many people do own phones. Gaming on mobile phones, even MOBA games and first person shooters, seems quite popular here. For me, it's unplayable.

I am not even sure if Microsoft was interested in the technology. I believe Skype originally functioned using some kind of p2p network. I believe Microsoft replaced this way of working shortly after acquiring Skype. Perhaps on behalf of sec
