  • Samsung screen: The usual VGA/HDMI adapter
  • iPad: Using DuetDisplay

Although there are some performance issues with Duet, to display text (which is what I do) is just fine. Now I can have the browser, the IDE (PyCharm if you are wondering) and iTerm 2.

Since is another screen attached to the laptop you can use it to display any other thing that is being processed by your main computer, and can move apps between the screens with no problem at all.

The iPad Pro as main computer for programming

Posted on by

Definitively an interesting way to solve his problems with carrying the whole laptop. To me having having a full laptop is more important than that mobility, this because the multitask capability of the laptop vs the “one or two” apps approach in the iPad.

Still a nice way to work when you don’t have your laptop near to you.

European Parliament votes to end visa-free travel for Americans | The Independent

Posted on by

I think this should be the constant, if you are required a visa to visit any country, then your country must require a visa to any citizen from such country if they want to come to yours.

For example, I’m from Mexico, I need to have a visa in order to put a step in the United States, even if it is the airport for a connection I need a visa. Not to mention the requirements to work in the U.S.A.

What happens in the other way? U.S.A. citizens are allowed to come and go here in México, you are required to have a tourist visa if you have plans to be in Mexico for more than 180 days, if you come for a couple of weeks, then there’s no need for it.

So, if I need a visa to put a step in USA, I think it would be correct if USA citizens require a visa to put a step in my country.

I have a better idea, no visa required at all. Just your fucking passport. 

Take a look a the source:

The European Parliament has voted to end visa-free travel for Americans within the EU. It comes after the US failed to agree visa-free travel for citizens of five EU countries – Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Poland and Romania – as part of a reciprocity agreement. US citizens can normally travel to all countries in the bloc without a visa.

Java, JavaScript, C#? No, Python is the fastest growing programming language | ZDNet

Posted on by

There is a reason for that. Python is

  • Simple, easy to read, easy to write; then, easy to learn
  • Powerful with all that bunch of packages/modules included and all others created by the community freely accesible with a simple pip  call.
  • All purpose, use to automize something, use it to run a web site, an API, even to create desktop apps.
  • Multi-platform, Windows, Linux, Mac, BSD’s, even in embedded systems.
  • Fast enough,

You can find some of those in another languages, but not all achieve that.

Python is now the fastest-growing major programming language, according to Stack Overflow.

I don’t like it

Posted on by

There’s no option to remove that option!! As stupid as it sound.

I’m not a fan of one hand keyboard although in glad the option is there for whoever needs it. But there should be a way to remove those three buttons that are placed where the emoji keyboard option was !!

  • Hey dude, what if you need to type with one hand?

Lucky for me, my thumb can reach the other side of the screen easily, that’s one reason I choose iPhone 6S and not he 6s plus which is bigger.

Anyone here with the golden Master knows if there is an option for that ??

Ceramic phone, no thank you.. 

Posted on by

Xiaomi made a beautiful phone, with a huge screen in a relatively small body, with a ceramic back that is resistant to scratches.. what can be wrong??.. well, ceramic is not that good when hitting the floor.

Is not that I’m getting it or not getting it because of this, I’m not fan of Xiaomi nor fan of anything that uses a heavily modified Android, just because updates are… well.. let’s say that updates are not that good in something different than vanilla android.
