It's touted as sugar-free alternative to sugars and I've consumed quite a bit of it through Sparking Ice and a "Sugar free" BBQ sauce. I figured it wouldn't be a terrible choice to avoid sucrose in food and drinks. Well...

Seeing as how my body has been randomly triggering high blood pressure and therefore rapid heartbeats and I've been trying to eliminate factors related to exercise and other food and drinks, I have to preliminarily conclude that it must be the Sucralose or Aspartame factor.

Sparkling Ice ha...

It's given me some good inspiration and direction for some graphic assets. I don't know why artists or graphic designers feel threatened by it since their requesters can generate multiple examples of what they want in a far more visual way which should make them more efficient.

Someone asking you (an artist) to create this and that with some vague idea can be fun, but a waste of time. I've had to be very explicit and specific on what I am asking from an artist to get what I want the first time, but with AI i...

It's pretty funny that the company that believes fully in a remote world doesn't fully believe in remote work. Why the hell wold you work there when their actions don't match their mission?

Meta is f***ed as far as it goes. SHORT META.

I've worked with web and mobile app ui development for quite some time and the biggest snag will always be state management. Everytime I think about some state that needs to be shared, I wonder how can I best do it. There's so many damn choices.

Flutter gives you setState, StreamBuilder, FutureBuilder and AnimationBuilder. Third party libraries include MobX, Riverpod, Getit and GetX.

The web gives you events from the get go. Third party include MobX, redux, vuex, flux, and observable store.

These all have thei...

Imagine being associated with an actual criminal and voting for a criminal while trying to paint yourself as the "Law and Order" and "Back the blue" party 🤣🤣🤣. 

Republicans threw away those ideas quite awhile ago. They try to cling to them and say it, but it's false like their most populous religion. They cling onto what their religious denominations say and the religion they say they were brought up with, but don't follow it. Just a bunch of fakes like their self admitted Faux News Network.

Keep believing i...

Sigh. Like SOPA and all the other overbroad bills before it that caused internet companies to protest with blackouts. This entire bill to not just counter social communications software, but a whole lot more.

Article, Vice: https://www.vice.com/en/article/4a3ddb/restrict-act-insanely-broad-ban-tiktok-vpns

“The RESTRICT Act could lead to apps and other ICT services with connections to certain foreign countries being banned in the United States. Any bill that would allow the US government to ban an online s...

Without proper discussion and educator input.

The more I hear about one or two parents challenging coursework because it might hurt theirs or their child's feelings, against their religion and or sensibilities the more I believe parents should just be kicked out of the school in general and let the educators teach what they want with sufficient discussion.

Obviously, one state in particular is Florida with a barrage "parents" complaining about art history, black history, english math and even SCIENCE of all t...

VCs are greedy and dumb. They don't care about your product. They care about the potential return. It's dumb money. They were dumb enough to cause a bank run at a bank that catered to them. If that's not a sign of collective stupidity, I don't know what else it is.

They all have lines to communicate with each other to prevent this scenario, but they cried to the government in the end. A bunch of babies.

They always said crypto was a lower friction way to move money. It's looking like that is increasingly true.

Look at Square for instance: https://squareup.com/us/en/press/policy-and-pricing-updates

We are updating Square’s refund policy so that processing fees will no longer be returned when sellers issue a full or partial refund to their buyers. We are making this change to more accurately reflect that Square does not recoup in full processing fees from our network and payments partners in instances of refun...

The world changes and countries reassess their position in the world. War is inevitable because self interest in all that matters. Many European and Asian countries are gearing up for war and well, the USA has been in war time mode spending massive amounts of money every year on military. So much for the spend spend spend to "keep us SaFe" theory.

You are very likely to suffer in some way as well. As much as people can try to buffer the effects of war, it always hits someone somewhere.

USA was at war in I...
