    You know, with so many frameworks with the weirdest names, I honestly don’t know if people are just joking or not…
    “Yeah! just use turtle and chubby” “Oh! I prefer tuktuk and lollipop”
    Funny bit: I totally made those up, then went to GitHub, and found out there are real projects called like that. Lol!

    Use the code to build a time machine, go back to the 1960s and learn to program using only text… /s

    Now, seriously: normally, if it’s an app, look for the “Releses” on the right. If there’s a binary (compiled app) to download, it will be there. If the developers are cool, they’ll include a download link directly on the Read Me file you see when you arrive at the repository.



  • This reminds me when football players sign for Real Madrid, it’s funny that, for all of them, signing for the team is their “childhood dream”. I think it’s just a PR thing that’s done for big teams, with lots of history. I think Alonso was joking about that. I think any professional driver will always be committed 100% to the team they drive for, and in the case of Ferrari, knowing how passionate tifosi can be, it’s not a bad idea to say that you love the team as much as they do. I honestly don’t care about those kind of statements, as they’re crafted by PR people to appeal to the fans. It’s like post-race interviews: it’s always a bunch of pre-rehearsed phrases, except in the uncommon occasion when a driver really says what they feel, and they have a PR nightmare XDDDD





  • The blue led was released in 1993. I remember reading an article in Wired magazine (back when magazines were published on paper) about the invention. Gladly, the article is still available online: https://www.wired.com/1995/03/blue-laser/

    I talked with some friends about the “true boo-roo” led, and the phrase stuck with us (that’s why I still remember the article). At the time (almost 30 years ago) we had no idea how important the invention was, even when we realized that it allowed for rgb led light.

    But we had no idea leds would be miniaturized to be used in screens and be as ubiquitous as they are today. Living through all this technology evolution has been quite the ride.
