Windows native application development is a mess

Usually, when developers or programmers write articles about their experiences developing for a platform they have little to no experience with, the end result usually comes down to "they do things differently, therefor it is bad actually", which is deeply unhelpful.

Moin zusammen. Kennt Ihr @Sicherheitspod, den #Podcast zu #GeoPolitik und #SicherheitsPolitik? Die neueste Folge ist nicht gerade schön. Ich möchte sie Euch dennoch ans Herz legen in Sachen #StrategischeVorausschau.

Sam Altman: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

Listen to full albums, too.

Just listen: don’t just put music on as background noise. Pick a good album, and find a quiet place with a decent enough stereo or headphones (preferably not earbuds). Grab a cup of tea or a beer or a whiskey (whatever your sipping beverage of choice), get comfy, and really listen to the music.

When you were in grade school did your music teacher have you listen to music (say, “Peter and the Wolf”) and try to pick out the instruments? I hope so. Do that. Appreciate the interplay of instruments and vocals. Really listen to the lyrics (if it has them) if you haven’t before.

One of the tragedies of today is that people have basically all recorded music at their fingertips, but relegate it to background noise.
