Have you tried Vaadin? It's like writing a Swing application that compiles to the web. Or at least it was when I used it last, about 7 years ago.

You don‘t have to do that. You can buy cheap meat and cheap vegetables. That way you will still eat much healthier than eating ultra-processed stuff, and probably even save money.

Usually I answer unspecific 1-sentence criticisms with a question what alternative solution the reviewer would suggest. Sometimes they look into it more deeply and really come up w…

I recently thought about this, too. Is there any cloud-based, simple relational database, aimed at non-programmers?

I remember noticing the same in Marseille about 10 years ago, but Paris for example was already quite different back then. Now I live in Madrid and not picking up after your dog is…

I don't know if $700 qualifies as cheap, but the iiyama ProLite XB2779QQS-S1 (5K) seems to fit your description. I am quite happy with mine.

I don't know if it is just nostalgia, but I have played them all and like the N64 version the best. It is fast-paced, not as cluttered as some of the new ones, and has a good balan…

The article didn't say that they sold 100000 articles, but that they have 100000 users that payed for individual articles. We don't know how many articles those users bought on ave…

"Clean Code" comes to mind. It is also already more than 10 years, but holds up well.

Interesting vehicle, but the design is such a rip-off. Honda Urban EV in the front and Smart forfour in the back. It would be interesting to know what the unsubsidized price is and…

Unfortunately the capacity of these dams in most areas is far from enough to compensate all fluctuation in renewable energy production.

Have you tried SpriteKit? I chose SpriteKit with Swift for my first game and like it quite a lot, but I keep wondering if it was a good choice to limit myself to iOS. What I'm inte…

I hope you have a lot of fun with it and I'm curiuos of your feedback! As a customer I very much prefer the pay once model, too, but we really seem to be a minority these days. We …

http://bearbushkas.com I spent most of my free time the last 1.5 years to make this 4-player iPad game together with my brother (developer) and two cousins (graphics). Considering …

0 chance of floods, really? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_European_floods And do you have a source for your claim that only 1/4 of recent asylum seekers were refugees?

How can the EU tell Norway to build charging stations if Norway is not even a member of the EU? Do you have any sources for that?

50000 is definitely much too high. The number I have in my head is 15000. Maybe you confused the two.

That's true. I didn't want to badmouth swift, I quite enjoy developing with it. I guess I just needed to vent my anger about SpriteKit a little.

If your Swift app is using SpriteKit it might take a little longer to get it ready for the App Store: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/17463 Apple really screwed up Sprite…

Why do you think the German spelling reform of 1996 didn't succeed? Of course some people, especially older ones, didn't make the switch in their own writing, but basically all new…

Those numbers are worthless. 69700 USD for a software developer in Switzerland is much too low. Even starting salaries are higher than that in most parts of Switzerland. I think th…

The author fails to mention tablets with an Atom CPU as an alternative. They cost pratically the same as similar ARM tablets and give you the option of running x86 software.

You only find those toilets in many decades old bathrooms.

What if a sequence of byte values is valid in the charset that IE uses to encode the form data as well as in UTF-8, but is interpreted as different characters in UTF-8? With your m…
