I remember spending a lot of hours playing Little Big Adventure with a friend. I love this, will try it out!


Maybe a little off topic, but in my country you will have a very good life with $390 per month and yet we have near 35% of our population living on poverty.

The minimum wage is a little lower than that and there are a lot of laws favoring employees which makes it really hard for companies to hire. Just to give you an example, last year the president signed a decree to forbid companies firing people with the excuse of covid, nothing but a populist measure. The result is that no company will ever hire here, which creates more unemployment.

I mention this because giving a lot of rights to employees by law sounds good but I have seen and lived the consequences my entire life.

Should apple on their own pay more to chineese people? I think another comment address that, at the end is an scarcity problem, supply and demand.


As a person raised in a country where public transportation sucks and roads are scarce and full of potholes, I am in love of American highways as much as with European public transportation. In fact, I also love NY subway, the way you can move to any part of the city without knowing anything and following just google maps directions of which subte take.

The highways in America are super easy to navigate with carplay/gps and to be honest, and I have yet to see a jam where your car is completely stopped for more than 10 minutes. What I see is a dance of cars where every car travels to cruise speed.. another thing I’d mention is that I consider americans good drivers and very respectful of the laws compared to other countries.


Weird reading the other comments, in Argentina it was marked as Liquid Paper.. other brands came later but we refer to all of them as liquid paper.


I feel sad using homepods as intercom... I wish I had a button now.

Unfortunately, I think Apple hasn’t open this api yet


I had the exact same experience it was absolutely disgusting. I attracted all flies from the neighborhood.

I also tried once with an insecticide which also contained a bait, it came in granules and you had to mix with water and spray all over. The floor of my outdoors where full of dead flies.

Best advice I can give: never use any kind of bait. That’s completely BS, you are never going to kill them all. You want flies to go to another place, keep things clean.

Flies hate wind, use fans.


My coworker once had one very annoying fly, he was trying to sleep but that fly constantly was landing on him. He turned fan and directed it on bed, so fly couldn't land on him. Now, that little bugger landed just beside of airflow area and just walked to him.


I force myself to use @example.com even when the code I am writing does not send mails. This is the way I got used to it


I find naming and details as confusing with Amazon Prime, Amazon Video and FireTV.

Maybe it is not as problematic when you are in the US, but in my country Amazon Prime works in all devices (android, ios, pc, etc) except in the FireTV, other services like netflix, spotify and youtube works very well on FireTV. Note that this is clearly stated in the documentation and faqs, it is a product targeted to a few countries only.


I think is different for every person. I usually commit often but I'd squash multiple commits into one.

So, my graph isn't exactly going to tell you at what hours I code but at what time I sent pull requests to my coworkers for example.


I used it for 6 months and gave up few weeks ago for this reason.
