Cool! Mine sweeper is a really fun easy game to implement. I did a version in Python a few years ago: https://github.com/igor47/sweeper but mine is closer to 500 lines

Ditto. I did the same with GoLang a couple of years back, but didn't aim for clean/terse code: https://github.com/jedib0t/go-mines

My first and only iPhone became unusably slow with a major OS upgrade about 2 years into its life. I haven't bought an Apple product since.

I don't like Google either, but I've had several Galaxy phones since then and every one has lasted until I was ready to replace it on my own schedule. My current one is 2.5 years old and feels no worse off than the day I bought it.

Anecdotal, but I didn't start using iPhones until my 11 Pro, and I haven't had a reason to replace it till now.

The will of twitter employees

Do you think all Twitter employees have a say in how Twitter is run?

Me too. Got a few instances of similar situations with Datagrip and really wish we had local license instead of license server.

All JetBrains products support using a license key instead of using the JetBrains account.

Agreed. I was interested in Tesla before I took one for a test drive. It handled fine and it was nice to drive, but the interior really felt lacking for such an expensive vehicle. Drop the same for a Mercedes and you'll have a very comfortable ride. I ended up not getting a car at all, I'll wait for an EV with an interior to match the price tag.

It was the other way for me. Test drove the Cayenne, Macan, GLC43, S, X and a few other vehicles. With the Porsches and Mercs, while the seats were super comfortable, it was like walking into a "button exhibition". And my god the typefaces they used on the Merc and the forced use of a barely working "joystick" instead of a touch-screen was all counter-intuitive.

Of course this was in 2017 and things could've changed now, but with my 2 years in the S, I'm sold on Tesla. Only rule being get a Tesla 1 year after the model is introduced so they iron out all the production issues.

The incredible BMW i3.

I don't think it qualifies as 'long-range'.

Right. If you click that you're allowed to select your US state to ship to.

Did you check that? It's entirely possible that I miss some hidden 'enable international shipping' incantation here, but I doubt that at this point. The checkout form doesn't seem to include any of that and the very MS store front page lists the band as 'US only', just as I stated above.

Why? I .. fail to come up with an answer for that. I was prepared to hand over $200 right away, now I'm disgruntled and couldn't care less about another thing that might be available here in 3 month from now, maybe.

darthg0d · 11 years ago

I guess even the online purchase is restricted to US. Did not check that. My bad. On the bright side, I'm sure it will be internationally available in a few months.
