A couple of times on Twitter I encountered people that used a dog dewormer medicine (Fenbendazole) to treat their cancer and these people claimed it cured them. Or people they know of. Interesting and extremely cheap. Seems scientist did fi

Seems if you have staff that needs constant oversight and micromanagement, it's a waste of your own time. Do you really want to check someone 8 hours a day, 5 days per week to make sure they do what they are supposed to do? I think in

You have to do something while compiling a Linux kernel, might as well play a game as (I imagine) it can take a while :)

"Funny" thing about the Windows emoji font, is that flags are not included. I guess Microsoft is worried it can hurt their business (e.g. Israeli flag, Palestinian flag, Taiwanese flag, etc...). So, if you need flag icons for any

Lou's Pseudo 3D page mentions that Road Rash uses 3D models with a similar drawing mode [0], I guess? > Road Rash and 3do Road Rash both have amazing graphics engines. The original Genesis version of the game pulled off a relativel

I've seen a chicken eat a roach when I threw it outside a home. So I guess on the countryside, chickens can also be an option.

TI-99/4A had it, but not sure if it was included in TI BASIC or only on TI EXTENDED BASIC.

With regards to UI there is Microsoft’s MAUI, which I personally prefer over Avalonia. I love the single project approach of MAUI. I think Avalonia also relies on MAUI controls to some extent (I seem to recall a <UseMaui /> pro

A nice thing about Apple’s Terminal is the open [0] command. I miss that in Windows Powershell and would likely miss it in Linux as well. ——— [0]: https://scriptingosx.com/2017/02/the-macos-open-command/

I still feel Marathon was at equal level, even surpassed it in several areas. And released maybe a couple of months after Doom. But it was only known by Macintosh gamers at the time. In which ways I feel Marathon was better: - better light

Marathon had monster infighting. Marathon is a game series from Bungie, the first version released shortly after Doom, but only on Macintosh. There are defense drones [0] that aid the player and later on enslaved cybernetic aliens [1] that

> ... they haven't made it to object orientation yet, ... Not always a blessing and I've actually recently been thinking (e.g. in context of Lua) if object orientation is in most situations not better to avoid.

The new Marathon game seems to be very loosely related to the originals and not even having a single player experience. Pretty much only Mac users played the original. I think it would have been better if they gave the game a different name

I got an Amex card and I think it kinda sucks. Many businesses in Thailand don't accept Amex, I think due to the high fees. At some point I want to change my card (once I can get a credit card from a bank in Thailand, cause my Amex car

I think the way it's meant to be read and understood is as follows: "There may (or may not) be many problems with Go, but building bigger projects is not one of those".

Actually, I use the Mail app for a single email account (my own private email). I just don't want to add all company email addresses to the Mail app. This way I have a better separation between work and private stuff. As in: when I che

Yesterday Jonathan Blow was complaining about some Maps app on his Twitter feed, but not sure if it was Google Maps or another product. I do agree Google Maps can be annoying to use. But other Google products get more annoying to use as tim

I don't understand why so many people seem to dislike git. But maybe in actuality it is not many people, as usually people who are discontent are the loudest. I used Mercurial in the past for a bit, and it was fine. But for me it doesn

I read the book quite recently and thought most of it was still relevant. But wouldn't regard it is one of the best programming books from my pov. It was a good read though.

I have the book and don’t think it’s particularly well written. I’d say it’s a boring read. I guess it’s ok for reference purposes. Another design patterns book that is much more enjoyable is Game Programming Patterns [0]. Though of course
