I like BASIC and recently been thinking it might be nice to do some modern game dev on BASIC. My father got me into programming on a TI-99/4A [0] machine, so the BASIC language always has a place in my heart. However, I recently also c

8 GB when using Android emulator and Xamarin has been a pain for me, but my iMac doesn't have a SSD drive (it's got an Apple Fusion drive). The machine was swapping all the time, e.g. when alt-tabbing between Android emulator and

I'd like to see more people do small scale farming anyways, mainly to support themselves, not in the first place as a business to get rich from. Big farms tend to focus on a few crops (cash crops). Small farms that are meant to support

Have you tried doing Android dev using an Android emulator on an 8 GB Mac? Perhaps in combination with Xamarin? I did and performance was horrible. For just iOS or macOS dev, 8 GB could be fine though.

I’m guessing swapping happens quicker, perhaps due to the unified memory architecture. With quicker swapping you’d be less likely to notice a delay. That said I’d still be very hesitant buying a 8 GB M1 Mac. When my iMac only had 8 GB it wa

In The Netherlands it's kind of the same I think. Politicians often end up with very lucrative private sector jobs at the end of their political careers. No doubt at least part of the jobs granted is payment for services rendered and p

The way I read the article, I believe his main point was to make reasoning about state easier, even at a small cost to performance, making code easier to test and debug.

I think the study just looked at 25 cities, which means many cities are not included. Bangkok is also having a huge housing bubble, many believe. Same is likely true for Pattaya & Phuket. Too many empty condos. Not enough buyers. Prices

I hold the view that anti-zionists are often anti-semites in disguise. A view that is explained quite well in this article: https://www.jpost.com/opinion/anti-zionism-is-antisemitism-5...
