Okay… here we go again… I haven’t tried to build for iOS in about a year. There’s a new Delphi version (10.3.3) and my first attempt at testing my app (which BTW works on Android) has failed miserably. This document is a blow-by-blow of my experience in fixing it.

– A flawless idea with some maddening execution.
First of all, the idea of the Zenbook Pro Duo is a great one. I hope that Asus and other companies feel compelled to answer this design with future, better, more refined designs.
UDP Discovery Done Right (Not as Easy as you think)
Seems like a simple thing right? You want to do a UDP Broadcast to find devices/services on the network and then display them in an elegant list, right? Whereas it isn’t exactly an immensely difficult problem, knowing the right formula from the start is a must. There are other pre-canned discovery services out there, Bonjour, for example, but I really wanted to make my own just so that I could understand what all the fuss was about. Why do my friggen Chromecasts sometimes have a hard time appearing on the network? As simple as the problem seems, there are a few “gotchas” and other things to consider, however I was able to find a 100% working solution. Maybe you will find these advice points useful.

3D Mark’s New Port Royal benchmark demonstrates how far we’ve come, and how far we have yet to go
The new Port Royal benchmark is beautiful, but you really have to have TWO Geforce RTX 2080Ti graphics cards to appreciate it. It is worth noting that the Port Royal benchmark does not run at 4K. I’ve heard reports that it runs at 1440p, but it looks terrible enough that I feel it might even be dialed back to 1080p. On my watercooled. overclocked RTX 2080ti it averages about 35fps. If you force it to run at 4k, it will barely pass 15fps and is totally unwatchable.

You can’t do that with Python
In the face of demands from my employer to jump in front of the nearest, fastest-moving bandwagon, I have been searching for a reason to “like” Python. Unfortunately as of this writing, I still have not found one. In the meantime, I’ve found plenty of reasons to NOT like Python. Continue reading “You can’t do that with Python”
Battlefield V Review – No amount of Raytracing can make up for the fact that this is a shitty game.
Is Battlefield V a good representation of the future of game graphics? Probably not. And it isn’t even a decent game in it’s own right.
Top Reasons Why “Bitcoin Cash” is just another “shitcoin”.
“BitCoin Cash” is here. BCC is just another alt-coin in a crowded field of other alt-coins. It seems like 50 alt-coins pop up every day… so many that websites that dedicate their existence to indexing thousands of them have stopped caring about new ones.
Here are a few reasons why BCC, this ill-planned and weak protest, might not ever survive.

Evidence of Bitcoin Cash fork interpreted.
So… Aug 1 is here. Supposedly Bitcoin has forked into BitCoin “Cash” (a stupid cheesy name if you ask me). But how do we know that this fork has happened, and what are the potential side effects of it? Here is my novice interpretation of the available data…

Despite Having Value, BitCoin is still a Fucking Joke
I have observed BitCoin from afar for several years now. Like many people on this planet, I have hated myself at times for doubting its value. I even wrote a blog about it years ago (when it was trading at $130 USD) where I trashed its future prospects.
