    I've been using it as part of my Setapp subscription, and it's a love-hate relationship. On the one side I appreciate the posture hint and the app nudging me to take a break. But e…

    If you are, like me, one of the EU customers that are again disappointed by Apple's behavior, please take 5 minutes to send Apple feedback about that: https://www.apple.com/feedbac…

    Another interesting example are hunting games such as Hunter Call of the Wild. I played that for countless hours. While some people simply go for reckless trophy hunting, I thought…

    > Only necessary features, restrictions foster creativity Interesting. Productivity tools should not force me getting creative to do the simplest things. Ideally, I can make it ada…

    The PHP website is indeed one of the worst parts of the whole ecosystem. Just look at the landingpage ( https://php.net ) and compare it with those of other languages. There's not …

    The weird duality of Apple: their hardware becomes better with each devices, while their software gets worse with each version.

    I would love to get a Windows-like overlay which collects all those damn menu icons. The least Apple should do is giving developers proper APIs to build that, but instead Tahoe bro…

    I'm really not into math and got really lost in the second half of "Adding points on a curve". Just don't understand what the author wants to tell me with the grouping and the role…

    I recently tested Swiftkey after Typewise is sadly abandoned. It's sooooo much better than the stock keyboard. Not only is the auto-correct working incredibly well (garbage like wi…
