I didn't play too many 2-player dominion games, but I enjoyed the 3 or 4-player games more. For both types, card sets with little interaction usually have one or two good strategies, and luck plays a large-ish role in whether you or yo

I had the same feeling when I did my first side project in Swift earlier this month. My main experience is with CoreData. An example with 1:n relationships: CoreData returns and expects an (untyped) NSOrderedSet. Now I may either keep the N

Back in university, I did an introductory course in Smalltalk/Squeak as well as three seminars that used Smalltalk, two of which were group projects. (One chair was heavily invested into Smalltalk) I won't use Smalltalk/Squea

I'd advise against meditating shortly after having a meal, as it is harder to focus. Apart from that, pick a time that'll most likely work for you every day. Otherwise it's hard to build a habit. I started out doing it betwee

I don't know if this will really improve your photography practice, but it would be great if you could give it a try anyway! I'm looking for (blurred) background photos onto which we can put iPhones for our editor. To give you an

As a non-game app developer, I WANTED THIS FOR YEARS! Google (and Apple) calling my apps "free" did bring in massive amounts of bad reviews. I think this is good news for any developer that wants to offer a "free-to-download&

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience! Yeah, the media reports... I didn't know what to make of it. They were mentioning the curfew and some arrests of politicians, but not much on how this impacts daily life. From what I've re

Thanks a lot, that was very helpful! I probably should have mentioned that I'm planning to switch cities regularly to see a broader range. I don't want to overspend money, but... I also wanted to travel the region for a long time

As someone who is a native German speaker, I wasn't impressed. The translation to English was much better - because she spoke very clearly, slowly, and with simple grammar. The translation was no better than, say Google Translate. A ma

Can you already source leads with a different language than English? Most relevant for me: Can you find leads within Germany/Austria/Switzerland?

As has been answered by others, a micro-entrepreneur is collecting cash for profit. If you are splitting costs with your friends, you're hopefully not doing that to make a profit. If you indeed rip off your friends, I'd also be fi
