Men’s Guide to Crossing the Valentine’s Day Minefield #love

Like me, you should prepare yourself. Read the whole article after seeing this abstract!

A post from Psycology today by Guy Winch, Ph.D. has the whole story. Here is a part:

Here are five simple guidelines for men to keep in mind when planning their Valentine's Day. Following these tips will help them cross the minefield unscathed and make the night one to remember for all the right reasons:
1. Keep it Romantic: Many men play it safe by planning the evening around their wife or girlfriend's favorite restaurant or entertainment venue. Unless the places or activities in question are truly romantic choices, planning your Valentine's Day around them is a big mistake. She might love karaoke but that doesn't mean she wants to spend Valentine's Day listening to intoxicated strangers butcher power ballads.
2. Show thoughtfulness in the gift. The most important aspect of a Valentine's Day gift is how much thought you put into it. For many women, the amount of thought you invest in the gift represents a barometer of your true feelings for them (even if you don't consider gifts very meaningful yourself). Last minute purchases are often problematic for this reason, even if the gift itself is great. As a general rule, a small gift that had to be shipped from Timbuktu is better than an elaborate gift from the store across the street.
3. Make it personal.
4. Don't underestimate the importance of the card.  
5. Be prepared for surprise tests.

Predicates in Core Data

Av
Database programming is all about filtering and sorting tables linked to each other. According to the book Core Data , «Core Data is Apple’s object graph management and persistency framework for iOS, OS X, watchOS, and tvOS.» In a sense, predicates are an object version of the WHERE clause in SQL. Just like NSFetchRequest represent the FROM clause in SQL. I never have had problems with WHERE and FROM in SQL, but the predicate format strings in Core Data has been quite a struggle for me. I don’t think the struggle is only my fault. Predicates should clearly be thought, at least to me, as a method of writing WHERE clauses. Here is some notes from tutplus’ Core Data and Swift: Relationships and More Fetching : let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "%K == %@", "last", "Doe") The predicate format string uses %K (K stands for Key) for the property name and %@ for the value. let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "%K >= %i", ...

Hva er den egentlige forskjellen på høstens nettbrett?

Av
Google selger allerede et godt 7’ nettbrett, Nexus, og Microsoft og Amazon har annonsert sine nye som kommer i oktober/november. Rykter vil ha det til at Apple kommer med en iPad Mini i oktober. Alle nettbrettene synes å være utmerkede mht spesifikasjoner og pris. Og brukerne står ovenfor en vanskelig oppgave når de skal velge. Horace Dediu i Asymco satte meg på sporet i å se hvilken jobb nettbrettene skal gjøre for oss. Jeg har valgt å se markedet som fire mobile plattformer, eller «Eco-systemer», som de også kalles.
