Coach GowronIt is no comfort to tell someone who is struggling that others have it worse. At best, you add guilt to their worries. At worst, you invoke wider despair. A true warrior knows not to borrow trouble, and to help your comrades, not add to their burdens.

rauhulHey, I did another thing!!
Please check out "Harmony," the latest addition to swift-embedded-examples.
Harmony is a Bluetooth speaker with a builtin ferrofluid music visualizer.
Everything you need to build Harmony from scratch is either open sourced now, or will be available soon. This includes the embedded swift firmware, the bill of materials, electrical schematics, and the 3d models.

Craig GrannellAgain amazed how few app devs have press kits. This has been chipping away at me for years now. One of the reasons I’ve dialled back app coverage. When you’re writing a round-up of a dozen apps and there are no readily available images, that just eats into your fee. But also: I don’t understand why devs aren’t readily providing images of their apps in their best light. (Either that, or the press kit features images from 2015. For a calendar app.)

It's great to see someone FINALLY mention the magnetosphere issue, in the very first sentence no less, but this article rips into the idea so much more thoroughly than that, and with admirable gusto.

Mars does not have a magnetosphere. Any discussion of humans ever settling the red planet can stop right there, but of course it never does. Do you have a low-cost plan for, uh, creating a gigantic active dynamo at Mars’s dead core? No? Well. It’s fine. I’m sure you have some other workable, sustainable plan…

There are folks who still, to this day, won't touch Microsoft products because of Microsoft's behavior in the 90s — nearly 30 years later. People have long memories. Apple today makes 90s Microsoft look like a saint
