I sometimes forget how amazing things you can build by hand. Everybody seems to talk about 3D printers, CNC routers, Waterjet cutters, pick and place machines... But a lot of the things can be made just as well by hand. People have been mak

PSA: People in other countries seem to be doing just fine with NSAIDs for pain relief. If pain can only be managed with opioids, you should get them in a hospital under supervision, since they are too dangerous for home use.

Can you really blame people for being sceptical of the vaccines when you read stories like this everyday? As a lay person, how do I know that the vaccine really is as safe as everyone says? I mean, if you told people in 1995 that you won&#x

Thanks for the tip. It seems the dev increased the price (it costs 8€ now). I bought it nevertheless. Unfortunately, the app seems to work nowhere near as well as the Windows feature. Might be because of my multi-monitor setup, but it seems

Coming from macOS, I have to say that this feature is extremely neat. This feature alone makes working with multiple windows on a large display so much nicer on Windows than on Mac. On the Mac you have all those different modes — full scree

You said that you don't need platform specific code, but it turns out that's because you just skip the platform specific stuff, resulting in a product that I would not consider ready to ship.

People in the EU are used to free movement. In my opinion it's one of the greatest political accomplishments of recent history. Before Schengen, travelling across the border always carried the risk of meeting a grumpy border control ag

It would be nice if the Mac App Store fixed all these things, but eg. refunds are a mess on the App Store. Officially there are no refunds at all, in practice it kinda depends on the support agent, and sometimes developers are mysteriously

I feel it's a bit disingenuous to tell people how easy packaging Electron apps is when you skip the hard parts.

That 50 people team probably costs at least 250000/month. Are you going to take away a tool that everyone on the team needs to save 1250? Or put another way, how much time would you need to replicate what Docker offers for a team of 50

Have you tried opening your app on a Mac? macOS literally suggests you move it to the trash.

As a somewhat experienced Mac developer, I'm not sure what Electron brings to the table for a project like this. Why not create a simple Mac app with a web view? AFAIK the overhead of electron is more than 100MB, for an app that could

Probably interesting in relation to the app developer settlement, where Apple set up a fund of $100m to support small US app developers.

In my experience the iTunes store is such a horrible, slow piece of shit software that I only use it to search and rent films I heard about elsewhere.

This is why I quit my Netflix subscription. The algorithm seems to have picked up the fact that I like watching SciFi and Zombie movies, so my Netflix homepage was this dark place filled with Sci Fi and Zombie movies. One problem with this

You do if you want to use UDP multicast or want to enumerate MDNS services. That's what this article is about. If I understand correctly, they apparently don't even let you use multicast on your own phone for testing without reque

You can, but the experience sucks for families. If you want shared access to your family photos or music collection, you kinda need a shared account. But you probably don't want your family members to read all your email, so you need s

Child accounts don't fix the problem that it is a shared device. I've never considered creating a fake child account for business use, but I have tried to create some fake Apple IDs for shared devices, so I didn't need to use

Do you use multiple Apple IDs on one device? I tried doing that for some time, and it caused a lot of issues. Maybe it works if you have separate devices for work and for home use, but I use my Macs for both business and home use.

It's good that every service has separate credentials. For a counterexample, consider Apple and how they try to restrict you to a single Apple ID. They want everything to be tied to a single person. Every service you use is tied to you

> You can't clone a NFC card from RF alone You imply that it is possible to clone NFC cards with other means. Is that really possible? Crypto chips are usually hardened against all kinds of attacks, and I would assume that NFC cards

Contactless is not less secure than magstripe. I don't know where you got that from. You can't make a fake contactless card, because each card has a private key that you can't extract. But it's trivial to make a fake mag

If you want to do it faster, you need government regulation. Magnetic stripes have been phased out in the EU for a couple of years. And additionally online card payments all require 2FA in EU. As a result, there's barely any credit car

People who critizise Apple in public often seem to have trouble updating their apps. I'm sure Apple has their reasons for blocking this app, but I'd prefer a world where customer choices what apps they can use don't depend on

This guy is certainly strong, but he is definitely overweight. He may feel fit, but his weight will make him high risk for heart attack, stroke, or diabetes. There's no amount of training that can fix a bad diet.

Having lots of muscle mass isn't healthier than being slim. It's healthier than being fat, but being slim is going to be a lot easier on your heart, joints, and other organs. (Have a look at people who are 80+ and fit. Most of the

I think for general health/longevity its preferable to be out of shape but slim rather than heavier but fit.
