Besides the usual (HN/Reddit/preferred news site), i really like checking deviantart.com daily. Insanely talented bunch of people there.

Remember Crypto knows no borders, it's decentralized, peer to peer, and private keys aren't seizable by force. Central banks may outlaw it, and that will hurt, but it's not going to put an end to it. Especially should USD go

Few years back when awareness about email tracking wasn't so common, I noticed often I after I looked at one of those recruiter spam emails, they'd call my phone 5 minutes later. Just downright creepy stuff. Leaned to disable &quo

For those who have the freedom to decide what to use, I recommend looking into rolling your own. Especially if you're writing back-end services for your app anyway. After Google shutdown Fabric.io, we asked ourselves why even rely on 3

Are you kidding me? This is great news for indies and small companies, to which I count myself, and I will be making 15% more money. Dude, I'm really happy reading this announcement today, thanks Apple, what else is there to say? I thi

Yeah, I think chess can give you cold hard feedback on how well your mind is working on a given day. As the author already mentioned, performance can vary a lot. When you're doing poorly, you often don't feel very different, but t

The number of government requests for user information is actually scary: https://transparencyreport.google.com/user-data/overview So Google handed over info on 175k accounts in the last half of 2019 alone? It seems it

Kinda like it. Looks like a Nintendo DS to me :) Could be a productivity power house in a nice compact form factor. I'm not the guy that checks his phone every 15 mins. but when I"m on a train for a bit, something like this would

Ideally you want to have all your state in one place, the "single point of truth", in tightly modeled data structures, keeping it as lean and immutable as possible. The program is then just a function of the state, consisting main

Swift / Vapor is amazing as well. They just released version 4, which streamlined and tidied up lots of things, can't recommend it enough. There's just something solid about Swift's strictness and compile time checks, th

Oh man, I've done Google, Facebook, Reddit and all of them have tiny but annoying differences in their Auth Flow. I've given up up on Twitter, because they didn't even seem to support OAuth2 (maybe they do now?), but it was t

It doesn't have to be easy to replace, there just needs to be an intended way to do it. Even if it requires you to bring them to a shop and let them do it (e.g. how most phones handle it). There's absolutely no reason they can&#x2

The question is, is the battery replaceable? As with Airpods, I won't buy any product that automatically becomes trash after 2 years, and I hope others will too. It is not sustainable and it is time for consumers to refuse this notion.

Looks nice and clean, not sure about the bouncy animations though. I mean these are charts of people dying, it doesn't fell all that appropriate. Simple ease out would be more fitting.

Very cool. This will probably get some kids onto the path of a future programming career. I remember my first PC running MS DOS, being young and curios I just had to try everything, eventually stumbling upon Pascal, and that would basically

Still no real GPU. It's the reason I went back to a MacBook. What drew me in is the desktop class i7. At the time the Mini outperformed all other Macs in benchmarks, and it is noticeable and fast during compile times etc. Once you conn

Not too worried, but that's what I'm doing just in case supplies chains break down. Mostly beans, dried fruit, chicken stock. You might want to get a few things to boost your immune system, and to compensate for less then ideal nu

I think a lot of issues can be resolved by doing a clean install. Highly recommended on 3+ year old machines. macOS & Windows, suffers from the same issue, in that overtime, after you install a lot of things, and have multiple major upg

I think you need a relatively new GPU. Some older models (older then 2015-2016) don't offer scaled resolutions yet, but you can still go for non-scaled 1440p. It is not as sharp on a native 4k display, but still way more readable. Also

It's been ok for me, feels a bit half-baked in many places (i.e. enums, serialization, constructors, collection manipulation), especially coming from a well thought-out language like Swift or Kotlin. Apparently null safety and extensio

or write your own small app to do that :) there are a bunch of ways and premade libraries to get Youtube to deliver videos straight from its CDN. Then just play them using av foundation and add some features you want.

I must say I welcome it, unreadable tangles are agnostic, and can be written with any kind of pattern or language, and stack traces still work as you expect (although stack traces never been great on iOS). In every project you always end up

One thing I feel doesn't get as much hype compared to intelligence is just how versatile our metabolism is. Animals often have very narrow selection of what they can use for food, and adapting to different kind of food source is very d
