Microsoft made something similar, years ago, at the presentation of their azure cognitive services. A camera randomly picked a live face from the audience, passed it through azure cognitive services and displayed the mood of the person in a

You're more or less describing what happened to me when I changed from dev to dev team lead. I couldn't affort the time anymore to make code reviews, left that to my colleagues and only tested the resulting software. When it didn&

Thanks for writing this. I couldn't agree any more. We've worked with .NET for decades and it really just works or lets you debug easily. Then we've started working on projects with Angular, React and Docker and it's jus

What version are you using? Click 'Settings' -> 'Profile' (huge button on top) -> 'Subscriptions'. I don't know how it could be easier than that. Ah wait, pull down on the home screen for search, t

I so badly wish we could change a big Windows business application to use PostgreSQL rather than Microsoft SQL Server just because of the licensing costs. SQL Server is a fantastic product, but restricted to 128GB RAM and a few CPU cores o

Don't laugh, but we still have a big software solution based on jQuery Mobile up and running, used daily by hundreds of users on tablets and smartphones, and getting new features every few weeks. (yes, a successor is planned, but it wi

Used that for years on my Gentoo installation back when I had more time to spend on my home computer. Can't recommend it enough.

It's indeed getting worse and worse driving cars. I drive a Tesla Model 3 daily and agree to the critism about it's interface. On my last holidays I rented a Suzuki Vitara. Indeed it's much easier to find and operate the stan

I have great memories of downloading MIDI files found with Altavista, Yahoo or even something like midi.com, then putting them on a floppy and have them play back on my Technics KN-2000 keyboard. Then MP3 happened.

Woah! Standby is working fine too? I'm a huge XPS15 advocate at work and really love these machines as a Windows developer. But the standby just doesn't work. If I close the lid and throw it in my bag, then the battery will be emp

Barely related, but in Bern Gerechtigkeitsgasse they made an almost hidden art installation so that the Stadtbach (city stream) flows uphill in a small part. It's very fun to watch. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St

I second this. My best friends are still the childhood friends. Every time I'm getting closer with someone new it fails sooner or later because of other duties we already have in life.

In relation to the formulas near the end of the article, I find it tragic that even in 2024 they are still PNG images.

I fully agree. Yet I'm in the same boat. Started as a Windows line of business software developer almost 20 years ago. At first we got clear specifications with UI mockups and a description what each and every button should do. When th

I was wondering because the toothbrushes I know use BT(LE) and aren't connected to the Internet. However, some light bulbs do have WIFI and sure one day could be exploited. And there are definitely more light bulbs than toothbrushes

Apple has (had?) a water sensor in the iPhones to detect that the phone was in water. Didn't break anything, just signaled that there was water contact.

Similar here :-) But what would you introduce your kids today? It seems the learning curve is much steeper.

As a Swiss with an Italian partner we both agree about the Italian part but must protest about the Swiss part in hell and the French part in heaven! French food in Switzerland is excellent though.

I owned a PS4, then PS4 Pro, then PS5 and a laptop capable to play games. And couldn't agree more with you. Make sure to get also Super Mario Odyssey. This game is just such a joy. It feels like a trip to a funfair every time. And sure

Yes well too bad, there‘s plenty of Apple product placement. And I still find it strange to have a TV show starting with an Apple logo. But Shrinking is really worth watching.

That made my day! Just a few weeks ago I was watching a 'Shrinking' episode on Apple TV where they said "Hey Siri play <some-song>" and then my HomePod saying "OK I'll play <some-song> for you&quo

I use Siri for laundry timers on Apple Watch. A very simple task you'd think, but it occasionally tells me that this doesn't work without my iPhone nearby, even though it's an activate LTE watch and there's even WIFI ava

Replaced it with Fever (feedafever.com) on my own server and Reeder on my iPhone and couldn't be happier since. The main issue is that less and less RSS feeds are available.

I can confirm that various Dell XPS 15 models and Microsoft Surface Book 2 and 3 models are just not usable without the power plug for my software development (and very rare gaming) needs. I also need the power plug for a simple thing like

That is happening for me only with games I didn't use recently. However, we used play Fortnite quite often on both the Switch and the PS4. On the Switch it was ready immediately in most cases. If not, the update loaded and was installe

My reason to buy a Wii U back then was that whenever I found the time to play a video game, I had to go through a session of Windows Update, Steam update and game update that I lost interest by the time it was ready. Compare that to the Wii

Slightly OT but Wii U games seem to be a topic here: There were many great games, but the IMHO single best game on this console was Lego City Undercover. It was like a less violent GTA. Such a joy to play, plenty of jokes, fantastic open
