It's a fun little game :) I hope he keeps improving it and learns a lot from doing that. Happy to see kids start programming (and designing) early.

I moved to Hamburg this year. I had 16 flat visits in total, 12 of which I had to share with at least 30 other people. It really is that way.

I also have 32 GB RAM and right now am at 25 GB + 2.4 GB in swap. I'm at around 20 GB most of the time but always have at least 3 Firefox tabs open. Sometimes a buggy process (looking at you, Apple…) decides to go haywire and use 30-60 GB of virtual memory. I don't even notice that until I have a look into the activity monitor. Handling RAM spikes seems to be no issue at least on macOS.

Not only Linux distros. HiDPI seems to be a problem in every OS except macOS. Windows regularly draws things twice as big or half as big as intended, especially if it's an app not developed in Windows-native technologies. Ubuntu (and similar distros) handles this better than Windows in many respects but not all. On macOS though it doesn't matter what tech it is, it just works.

USB-C is now a requirement for me to upgrade my iPhone. I'm holding onto my XS until they switch to that.

The dock uses a non-standard implementation of USB-PD, the Switch itself can charge just fine with just about any charger, though. As I understood it, the dock randomly switches between different voltages depending on load, while portable mode uses plain old USB-PD with a consistent charge. While you can use the dock with Apple's 61W charger, it's not really recommended, since it can still get bricked with a software update. The 87W/96W charger isn't safe for the dock at all.

I forgot to take my MacBook Pro's charger with me but could still charge it using my iPad's charger (USB-A to USB-C, mind you) - albeit very slowly. Still better than nothing, though. If only iPhones had USB-C…

Can't confirm. They always recommend me new stuff, never stuff I've already seen. And I watch a lot of YouTube (too much...)

I currently have these on my MacBook 13": http://bfx.re/sy1c
I'm upgrading in a few weeks, though so I'm curious what I'll do with the new one... Might go for some full-size artwork.
