Anxiety over #COVID-19 (follow link for details)
Are we at a turning point where there will be a before & after world as we know it? I mean, this shit is here to stay among us for a long time… right? This long streak of economic growth (since 2008) really look to be coming to an end. Young generations will find things, economically speaking, to be harsh from now on and will have to get their shit together when looking for jobs as unemployment will start to be on significant rise… I’m Gen X, I do know what is it like when future is uncertain from a jobs perspective… in case you asked.

Intel: Houston, we have a problem (follow link for the details)
I’m not a security expert but this “bug” seems quite serious. Macs not affected. AMD no affected. Trust going downhill. 😳🙁 5 years of Intel CPUs and chipsets have a concerning flaw that’s unfixable arstechnica.com/informati… Continue reading →

I’ll never really understand. I’ll never own bitcoins or this type of s*** twitter.com
I couldn’t agree me. What a waste of resources.

Here is a very personal one: getting older is accepting things that are profoundly irritating about how we lose abilities. One example: typing on the on-screen keyboard on my iPhone is getting harder and produce too much typing errors. 😔

On Apple betting too big on China. Well, I have some news for you: because of our obsession with paying low prices on everything, we pushed every company in the world to depend on China’s cheap labour. We are the ones who depends on China. Think globally, act locally.

The sad state of buying software these days. I did pay for Enlight back then. Deleted. Too bad, it was great while it lasted.

Well, yes, thank you to all developers
I was an indie developer from 2009 to 2013. I made three apps that got me about $5000 in revenue. I don’t know how much per hour this represents. I loved this time of my life where after a long work day I would sit in front of my Mac to learn Obj-C, Interface Builder, etc. until later in the night. Now, I can really appreciate what it is like to build apps and let the world know about them. Continue reading →

On Apple, Catalyst and ARM-Based machines...
This thread is very interesting (from Steve Troughton-Smith): twitter.com/stroughto… Reading my piece on Marzipan, now called Catalyst, dating back from March of last year, I think it did age well. 😎 numericcitizen.me/2019/03/0… Continue reading →

I’ve always been fascinated by the web service called “Notion”. Anyone here using this platform? I’m wondering if this can be useful for me and how it would fit in my current workflows. Maybe I’ll open my account there and see how it goes.

Thoughts on Noto - Elegant Note
Interesting newcomer in the note taking apps landscape: Noto - Elegant Note. Really nice design. Not sure about long term viability (remember Evernote?). Not sure about design scalability with a lot of notes. Another subscription to take care of. Not cheap for a young app. MacStories.net has more to say about it for sure. I’ll keep on eye on that one. apps.apple.com/ca/app/no… Continue reading →

On social networks as debating tools
You know what? When reading replies on Twitter, I rarely go past 5 replies… this is usually the point where things are getting either ugly, out of control and not related to the original tweet. This is why I think social networks are not good instruments for debate and discussions. Continue reading →

Cocooning, really?
Are we ready for a new social network? Do we need this? Judging by their website, the nice design of Cocoon certainly looks enticing. But do we need this? It will take a lot of traction to make people leave Facebook or other well established data-ungry players. I certainly hope new players to come in and shake this rotten industry. Judge for yourself. cocoon.com Continue reading →

Things I look for when evaluating an app for my own use
When evaluating a new app for my own use, the first things I look for are (in no particular order): update frequency, update notes quality, user ratings, multi-platform support (macOS, iOS, iPad support), sync mecanism used, one-time purchase vs subscription based, web service backend. I may elaborate on this subject on a longer blog post in the near future. Currently using this against Raindrop.io apps.apple.com/app/id102… Continue reading →
