    I'm a bit of an old-timer now (almost 45), but I enjoy a lot of the classics on GOG. And at a price that can't be beat. Totally no interest in playing modern games.

    In case of many commits with also many complex merge conflicts, I often find it easier to just: 1. Abort rebase. 2. Squash all my commits into a single commit. 3. Rebase on target …

    There's apps that can simulate color blindness, which can be used for testing purposes. This is such an app for iOS / macOS: https://michelf.ca/projects/sim-daltonism/

    At least AI seems very useful to quickly write unit tests for the stuff I work with these days, like Angular & C#. P.S.: I loved Glider and Glypha, great games!

    On iOS I have seen ads with very small close buttons, so clearly intended to cause people to miss-click. Buttons should be 44x44 pixels, it’s recommended in the human interface gui…

    I'm just a Dutch guy that emigrated to Thailand, but I'd never trade my Toyota Hilux diesel for an electric truck. I don't want to have to rely on electric to be able to drive my c…

    I loved World of Warcraft for many years, but kind of stopped playing during Cataclysm. And it's kind of weird, but I preferred the old-style questing (many repeated quests and per…

    I'm also not a fan. Due to your point regarding code branches, but also because I just don't find the code very readable. I think Result has its use, but I don't think this is a pa…
