I love playing solitaire card games. But got sick of all privacy intrusive, subscription, ad-riddled crap out there. So I combined learning macOS/iOS development with doing my own games the way I want them (currently Klondike and Spider); https://menubar.games (originally I intended them to only be accessible through the menubar, but got carried away when I realized how easy it was to make iOS versions).
Will continue to refine and possibly do more - love iterating and polishing as a way to learn.
Funny. Kagi was the payment solution I used to sell shareware in the late 90'ies. I believe the company later disappeared due a fraud case that made it bankrupt.
Seems like both domain and company name is recycled into this now.
It is a numbers game. And by increasing the number of chances to "play", you increase the probability of scoring (i.e. "increase your luck surface area").
> How do you know if by increasing your good luck in one area you’re not increasing your bad luck in another?
I think you do know. Eat healthy and move => most likely will increase the probability of be able to be more active at an older age. Build and launch projects => increase the probability of building a profitable business (but if doing that makes you burnout - sure, you could say you increased your "bad luck" from a health perspective)
Why, oh why, is in-car infotainment so bad? And I don't mean bad as in subjective opinions about user interface. I mean the fact that my 2 year old high-end Audi A6 still show Yelp ratings in the navigation system in Europe - Yelp pretty much shutdown in Europe 2016!
It feels like there is somewhere an hierarchical organization somewhere completely lacking product management and a connection to what is expected in the digital world.
That's the inference, but AFAIK there's been no direct assertion or explanation: Why has CF been knocked back to Alpha-status reliability across the board.
I really like reading books, non-fiction, fiction, business, everything. But I always tended to have good reading momentum and then life/work happened that derailed the reading habit - and I forgot about it. Took months to pick up again...
To keep reading top of mind I built a Chrome "newtab" extension to show my "Currently Reading" list, and excites me about books I've put as "to-read". It has worked wonders on my reading! And it is pretty small and polished - no tracking, no credentials, just bare-bones.
Except you had to register in an app every place you went to, during covid. Nice social profiling that data could provide… say, if another type of party ended up as the ruling one.
I wonder how many thousands (millions?) of man-hours of lost productivity over the world the Github SSH debacle resulted in. Not only for teams to fix the issue in a build pipeline no one touched for several years, but also the lost productivity for teams build/deploy pipelines to break, etc.
