I mean, it's hard. I'm not really against death penalty on its own, I think there are crimes which deserve exactly that. My issue with death penalty is how easy it is to misuse. So in a theoretical world where some perfect entity with no ability to make mistakes decides who gets it, I'm 100% in favour. In the real world, not so much.

Depends on what you use for the blog. Most blogging software does have RSS support. If you're writing the blog by hand, you need to create the RSS manually, or if there's some kind of source for the blog posts, generate it from the source data.

Don't ever install WordPress, just let it die. It's slow, insecure and the owner is a dick.

As much as I dislike crypto, this is not a crypto fail story, even though the article paints it like that a few times (or at least the tone implies).

No one should have their finger servered because of other people's greediness.

These are the occasions I wish death penalty was a thing, especially for those cases where the idiots have been caught in the act - there are better things to do with my tax money than making sure they have a place to live in and some nice good meals to go with it.

Eh, no, maybe read what nicotine does to your body and go beyond the negatives?

Why would people even start doing it if it didn't do anything for them?

In elementary school I was doing a paper on Al Capone and there was the section with his early days which included "like every young boy he liked jerking off."

Most likely true, though the sources were missing.

This, but unironically.

Additionally, it's not true at all. Like, when I was a junior dev, everything was new and hard. Now I do stuff much harder than was the hardest I did back then.

Yep. For example during the Soviet occupation here, the Colorado potato beetle got imported here somehow and given it doesn't have any natural predators, it destroyed potatoes like crazy.

Well, guess what? According to Soviet propaganda it was intentionally done by Americans to destroy our "paradise" and our food.

Everything bad that happened was because the evil imperialists worked against our paradise.

The country being so poor it couldn't afford enough toilet paper for its citizens? Westerners! All foreign fruit being very scarce and people standing in long lines to get it, while the ones in the back knew they probably aren't getting any today? Also westerners' fault. Meat being available only for the few lucky ones who came early, or were friends with the butcher? Yep, this one's on westerners too.

Propaganda is not the usual over-the-top stories, it's subtle. Would you today believe if someone told you that Americans have imported the Colorado potato beetle intentionally? And would you, if it was consistent with everything you've heard since you were a kid?

You don't. If it was as simple, no one would smoke. If tobacco didn't give you something extra, your body wouldn't crave it.

Thank you! Just FYI, you're linking directly to a specific release, it would be better to either link to the main repo, or to the https://github.com/RikudouSage/KidMemoryGame/releases/latest link which automatically redirects to the latest release (which is probably what happened here - you copied the URL after redirect).

Additionally, if I may ask, I'm in the middle of renaming the app to Memory Match for Kids, could you please name it such? In a day or so it should pass the Google review and it will be official.

A memory match game made by me, fully open source, made with small (2-6) kids in mind. Comes in two flavours, one of them contains all the assets bundled and thus doesn't even need access to the internet.

Available on GitHub and Play Store (screenshots available on both):

QML is such an awesome UI language, the only thing (that I know of) that comes close is Jetpack Compose.

The flavour of JavaScript QML uses is very different from regular JavaScript, it's literally a glue language and any significant non-UI logic should be done in C++.

And Qt C++ is very different to most other C++ framework (or how people usually write pure C++), it feels much more Java-inspired.

Anyway, it really is a great UI toolkit if you want something powerful, cross-platform and efficient.

Perhaps I worded it poorly, but my point was that companies shouldn't go bankrupt when they make a mistake.

If you keep doing it after you've been told, then you're no longer just making a mistake it's obviously malicious, but I don't think then Apple should go bankrupt when they incorrectly implement a new law.

While I personally don't think it's accidental, you should be more lenient towards a first offense for any new law (unless you can prove it was intentional, which is incredibly hard).

Qt is my favourite, though it's not .NET.

Various servers using various software that can communicate with each other.

While true, 568m is a significant cost of doing business. Also remember that a punitive action should not make the company go bankrupt, it should make them rethink.

And if they don't, the fines will go higher, until they do rethink.

Steam is equally shitty, they just have the advantage of not being publicly traded which means they can create long term strategies and execute them successfully.

Doesn't mean they're pro consumer.

Somewhere in between that weird guy and jaded outcast.

Eh, being burned out means exactly (most of) that. Especially being rude is a huge sign of being burned out, because you just can't muster the energy to be positive, because everything about your work pisses you off, including your coworkers, customers, bosses and the work itself.
