Have you tried Vaadin? It's like writing a Swing application that compiles to the web. Or at least it was when I used it last, about 7 years ago.

You don‘t have to do that. You can buy cheap meat and cheap vegetables. That way you will still eat much healthier than eating ultra-processed stuff, and probably even save money.

Usually I answer unspecific 1-sentence criticisms with a question what alternative solution the reviewer would suggest. Sometimes they look into it more deeply and really come up with a better solution. If they don't, at least the discussion is over.

I recently thought about this, too. Is there any cloud-based, simple relational database, aimed at non-programmers?

I remember noticing the same in Marseille about 10 years ago, but Paris for example was already quite different back then. Now I live in Madrid and not picking up after your dog is very much frowned upon, and you see very little pet waste in the streets.

I don't know if $700 qualifies as cheap, but the iiyama ProLite XB2779QQS-S1 (5K) seems to fit your description. I am quite happy with mine.

I don't know if it is just nostalgia, but I have played them all and like the N64 version the best. It is fast-paced, not as cluttered as some of the new ones, and has a good balance between relying on driving skills and the usage of extras.

The article didn't say that they sold 100000 articles, but that they have 100000 users that payed for individual articles. We don't know how many articles those users bought on average, but probably much more than one.

"Clean Code" comes to mind. It is also already more than 10 years, but holds up well.

Interesting vehicle, but the design is such a rip-off. Honda Urban EV in the front and Smart forfour in the back.

It would be interesting to know what the unsubsidized price is and if it ever comes to the west.

The e.Go Life has a similar concept but does not seem to be able to compete on price or battery capacity.

Unfortunately the capacity of these dams in most areas is far from enough to compensate all fluctuation in renewable energy production.

Have you tried SpriteKit? I chose SpriteKit with Swift for my first game and like it quite a lot, but I keep wondering if it was a good choice to limit myself to iOS.

What I'm interested in mostly is if I at least got a significant performance gain from chosing SpriteKit over Unity.

I hope you have a lot of fun with it and I'm curiuos of your feedback!

As a customer I very much prefer the pay once model, too, but we really seem to be a minority these days.

We sold about 45 copies of the game so far in almost half a year, but when we made it free for a weekend we immediately got 200 downloads without even advertising.

So let's see what happens with free2play. We are going to make all levels but the first one an in-app purchase and maybe a few characters. There will be no consumable IAPs because I hate them with a passion.

All previous buyers are going to keep the full game btw. Apple makes it surprisingly difficult to implement that, but anything else would just not be right.
