I was curios what does the code do and asked ChatGPT.
Summary of Functionality:
• This code seems to perform a sequence of loading data from memory into registers, performing bit tests, comparisons, and conditional branching based on the results of these tests.
• It appears to be part of a loop or some repeated operation, as there are multiple backward branches that seem to control a flow of tests and memory manipulations.
I have not read it but "The Pragmatic Programmer" remains the best development book for me. Interesting how the "Apprenticeship Patterns" compares to it?
It would be awesome if they also support Android (and other platforms), which I think they will eventually do. You would design once and get the same look across all the platforms.
Early this year my father was diagnosed ALS. During one year his hand muscles are completely gone. Though the legs are still OK but the disease does progress rapidly and it's just matter of time.
This is terrible disease. I know how hard it is for his family.
Similar thing happened in Yerevan, Armenia last year, but in a smaller scale. Group of people protected a park from construction of boutiques. It took around 2 months and the government finally gave up. There is a wikipedia article covering the story:

Wow, this is an impressive list. Appcelerator looks good, but very pricey though. Why would you choose it over the others? The free version is the Titanium which is basically a Javascript SDK for native apps.
I think most of side-projects are meant to enjoy the process of building and try new technology. So I would not want a friend to build "my" side-project using his skills and choice of technology. It's something I need to build. I enjoy the process.
One use-case would be setting clock time, though with some modifications. I had such control in mind before. I think for some of us it would easier to make two clicks rather than enter numbers.
