    Seconded! I think it's a much better read than "Design of Everyday things". He was clearly a super experienced practitioner. If only the Apple of today actually did good UX again i…

    It's poorly explained in the game, but you can increase the amount of machine health by researching "Improvements". One also has to keep track of the machine strength which is only…

    It's the original TH. Epidemics is a pretty bad gameplay system. Especially considering patients going between buildings automatically fails it; which makes it almost completely br…

    I randomly started playing through Theme Hospital, and I'm now almost at the last level. I must say: in general it hasn't held up very well. There are so many mechanics that are ex…

    Sure they spent it on Norwegian people, but at the same time they're still enabling an unsustainable way of life for the rest of Europe. E.g. the gas and oil-dependence of Germany.…

    The real interesting part about Clippy is not the cartoony art, but the fact that it actually would have been helpful if the project managers of office would not have gutted it: ht…

    So you're surrounded by rich people, and thus my reasons don't seem to apply? OK.

    I like Apple. I'm find this new release quite cool. But you fanboys are a bit much. Sigh.. guess I'm going to do this. > Who doesn’t like macos? Like it is objectively better than …

    Writing emails and compiling documents in Word seems like very "professional use-cases" to me.

    It takes a lot of time for people to warm up to a new device type. Probably makes sense to get a premium version out to make people yearn for it and build an ecosystem, and then cr…

    Do you really need me to spell it out for you? * Can't afford it * Don't like MacOS * Don't like the hardware * Want a repairable device * Want a upgradeable device Etc, etc. Plent…

    > People said the M1 Pros were overpriced Yeah but most people aren't paying for those: their employers are. I don't think many employers are going to buy such an expensive tool.

    How petty are you as a person if you disregard your peers and screw someone over just because you're "uncomfortable" with a technical article? Can we just stop with this intoleranc…

    I didn’t hear anything “wrong” at all. I know people personally which make a lot more than that. If you did R&D for 80k in a senior role you got robbed.

    This is not the case in Europe from what I’ve heard. SW devs with the right domain knowledge in cars get very well compensated.

    Super weird. Almost like not having ruthless a-holes as the CEO makes a difference.

    Miryoku basically has the numpad, which I still think is dumb to be quite frank since the numpad was only made like this for archaic historical reasons. Having the 0 on the thumb i…

    The first thing I changed in my custom layout was to get rid of the number row. Having all the numbers as a toggleable numpad (but not really numpad because numpad is archaic and d…

    As someone who works in e-commerce related to phones, I think a big part of the answer is that the US is not a big market when it comes to selling phones without a contract. In the…

    Of course anecdotal evidence, but I solved the recurring inflammation issues I had by having a routine that includes flossing an interdental brushes. At a certain point you know wh…

    I regret many things in my life. But quitting multiple times from jobs that I did not enjoy is not one of them. Even though some of the times I didn't have something lined up immed…

    You have to ask yourself "why did it pay very well?" For every person who made money on crypto there was someone that lost as well.
