In my mind, my computer is pretty beefy: 2.8 GHZ I7 with 16GB of ram. Yet, vendors like Adobe figure out ways to consume all available resources and make performance complete trash. Ironically, VS Code is one of the few programs that feels

Wow. The click the build number a bunch of times is already onerous enough. Now we're going to have to wait 24 hours to spin up a new development device?

Shit like this is yet another reason why we don't have apps in the app store. In app purchases are a non-starter for us. As I understand it, there are ways to work around accepting payments or donations outside of the app stores. It a

As a user, I don't want to install an app if I can do it on the web. Most "apps" these days are just web sites wrapped in an app. What's more, they're usually 100% dependent on REST APIs so there's little adva

I roasted MySpace hard back in the day, but now I kind of miss it. I was all too happy to move over to Facebook and leave MySpace behind. For me, the exodus from MySpace to Facebook marks the inflection point were smaller internet communit

Eki-melos are the things that I really liked about taking trains in Japan. The chirping bird sounds to help blind users find their way to and from the platforms is also a pretty interesting design decision.

We're using Stripe to run our marketplace where teachers can sell their language courses. It does MOST of what we want/need. I've done numerous checkout/payment processing integrations over the years. Stripe is still pr

Most of these are common sense. As a tourist foreigner, you also aren't expected to know all the customs but it's appreciated when you try. The one about which direction to NOT point the chopsticks in was new to me. If you just w

The UI for loopmaster looks really good. The color scheme is really pleasing to look at and it is easy to jump right in and start editing stuff. I've owned a bunch of different synthesizers and used a bunch of DAWs over the years and

Anki is great for what it is, but it has some annoyances when studying languages. They were annoying enough for me that I build some tools for Anki to try to address the problems. Eventually, I migrated my SQL scripts and JavaScript code

Multiple variations "per-card" are the way to go. It was one of my big gripes about Anki too! My other big complaint is that it only really is tracking one metric when it comes to study - whether you remember the "card&quot

It's hard for even developers and small companies TRYING to make a living there. Keeping an app active in the app stores requires a lot of extra overhead, but doesn't add significant value to the product in cases where it's

I've been developing with .NET since version 1.1. I feel like it's always been pretty easy to use for beginners. You install Visual Studio, create a new project and BOOM you've got a program that builds and runs. Having use

I just got back from Japan. I did not notice a difference in performance between tapping with a Blink credit card and tapping with an IC card. I only used the ICOCA card. There were never lines at the gates. There were only ever brief lin

We had a history teacher in high school who noted that. He always tried to cover the factors that led up to an event happening. I always appreciated that. Ultimately, there's only so much you can cover in a history class on a very broa

jQuery UI was a step up from the time, but it was still painful to do basic things compared to now. I much preferred developing front-end for apps deployed on the web in Flex and later Silverlight. I moved to Knockout and then Vue. I have
