You’re limited on UX when it comes to PWAs. For tools where this matters a lot, PWAs are a non-starter.

Iceland runs plenty of these and has a nice culture of frequenting the public bathhouse. It’s one of the few things you can do that is actually affordable there.

They do have the advantage of having essentially infinite clean energy in the form of geothermal heat. As do Japan in many cases, for that matter. I’m sure that has something to do with these institutions having staying power there.

Anyway, I think this idea has merits, but not as an energy saving measure. The reason for this is that in order to maintain good water quality, you have to shower thoroughly before getting into the bath, negating the potential energy benefits of the initiative. We can bring it back for it being nice, though!

Nature’s pocket

Gotcha!

Well, I’m not in a Balatro-period right now, but when the itch comes back I’ll probably buy it for mobile as well.

Are you aware of any platform affordances that have been made for mobile in this release, or is it basically the same as the unofficial ports you can DIY?

Doesn’t quite seem to be out on Android yet, at least not in my market. I could pre-register and have it download automatically when it’s out, though.

It didn’t list a price and said there was an in-app purchase, anyone know what that’s about? Will I be able to use the copy I bought for PC or what?

Anyway, this is great. Granted, I’ve been playing Balatro on mobile for many months already, but an officially supported version is even better.

Medicine generally comes in blister packs here to avoid accidental injury/death. Big bottles of medicines are just simply not a thing here, regardless of vendor.

A pair of bicycle pedals. I regretted the purchase and returned them.

For the last case of a non-return, I got a refund on a wristband for my Fitbit, which had broken after very little use.

Just hit them with a PepeHands or a ikftb and you’re golden honestly

Wanting to learn is a good requirement in itself.

Try starting with the language and then see what you can make of it in that case. You may find out that it’s not exactly viable, but then you can always try something else.

Understand what tradeoffs different solutions make, then inform your decision on that. A fairly general principle for example is that the more cross-platform compatible a solution is, the less well-suited it will be for any given platform in terms of looks/behavior/performance. This may or may not matter for what you’re building.

There are inherent qualities to some solutions (for example, a particular library may make for good solutions on a certain platform), and some qualities will be situational (a particular library is good for you because you happen to know the language/patterns/framework/whatever).

I personally like to build things in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, but that’s because I primarily build mobile apps for Android and I like the reactive UI paradigm that underpins this library along with the language that it’s written in. I would perhaps reconsider if I were building a desktop app (not as well supported), and definitely reconsider if I were building a web app (definitely a poor fit).

So yeah, start with what you’re building and what its requirements are. Then think about what you already know, and finally put those together when evaluating a UI solution.

It baffles me that people actually take these assertions seriously, especially after having used different software that uses voice input, like Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa or whatever. Those things make some serious mistakes even under ideal circumstances, and you want me to believe that they can accurately overhear things in non-ideal circumstances? I highly doubt it.

Regardless, you can use an ad blocker to make this a moot point - I’ve never experienced anything even close to this, because I never get ads.

Milei has already claimed that title.

Microwaving some leftovers might be an option. You get the great food you put effort into making, without actually having to make the effort at lunchtime.

General purpose: Kebab case

But really, follow the conventions of what you’re working on. For example, I’d use pascal case when working on a Java/Kotlin project, and snake case when working on a Python project.

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this while flying in the EU, and I’ve done my fair share of it, living here and all.

Average 350k according to levels.fyi.

I was expecting higher for principal tbh

I don’t know if it matches your desire for easy install of small disk space, but it might make up for it in other arenas - Ruby is my new-found love when making simple scripts. Being able to mostly emulate the shell integration that bash has by just using backticks to call a shell command is the killer feature in my book.

Basically guaranteed to be a clear text offender

• Video games: lifelong tech interest + it was what the other people in school were doing? I found that I like to compete as well
• Podcasts: monotonous tasks always really annoyed me as I was mentally understimulated. Listening to podcasts solved that particular issue, and now I can wash dishes and clean for days at a time
• Walking: I was overweight and wanted to change that, and I had trouble getting into running due to me finding it mind-numbingly boring. Just walking and walking a lot was very helpful in this regard. Combined with the aforementioned podcasts it was a winning combination
• Biking: I don’t own a car by choice, being able to get around more than just fine with transit where I live. During the pandemic while I was working from home, this became a challenge as I didn’t want to risk infection when going to buy food or other things. As such, I dusted off an old bicycle, and started using it to get around my local area. I quickly noticed that it was great fun to bike, despite having just a bog-standard terrible bike. I then changed jobs and wanted to go to the office more, and figured one day that I would try to combine my new-found interest in biking with my desire to be at the office by commuting by bike. It was a bit hard to justify time-wise as it was generally faster to go by transit, which motivated me to go faster every day to try to beat the transit alternative. As such, every day became two small races, and I fell in love. Cycling is way more fun than running and I have never been healthier than I am today, I believe.

Naturally, but by then it’s no longer milk, it’s tofu.
