Personally, I have been very pleased with the results despite the limitations. Like many (I suspect), I have had several users provide comments that the AI processes I have defined have made meaningful impacts on their daily lives - often s

It seems that law-abiding citizens often bear the greatest risk by declaring their assets to tax authorities and relying on so-called "trusted custodians" for savings. Ironically, for many, the safest course of action is likely n

Difficult situation. 5 MBPS was certainly better than nothing in the past...and yet the Sure business (now) appears largely obsolete with Starlink, Kuiper etc.

I worked for signalbox.io and they had this for the London Underground ~8 years ago. There was some impressive maths / approaches behind all of the "magic".

clearly could be a problem...but you are really looking at feature extraction / terrain analysis and best guessing with what is available (little different to a human doing the same job). The main thing here is that storage is so chea

I agree - I have used the gimp since 1998 and when using other apps (e.g. Affinity) I often return to Gimp and Inkscape because I understand their UIs best.

It was Google Adwords that was the big one to my mind...with Ray Ryan (rjrjr) leading a lot of those efforts.

I was a massive GWT fan - particularly because it played well with the Java ecosystem. 1. huge programmer pool 2. tried and tested legacy code could be easily used / adapted 3. code quality / checkstyle plugins just worked 4. grea

I can never actually pay for anything on Uber eats - nothing unusual...Australian banks all the way and yet still impossible to order. Menulog and DoorDash appear to work pretty well. Sad to see Deliveroo go.

My biggest source of burnout of late is the MS Power Platform. Being under pressure to deliver with half baked tools due to "political demands" made the vast majority of us consider other options. Today, we learned that we will n

Flash remains the most productive UI development environment I have had over the past twenty years. Getting graphical apps working on all major platforms is a fabulous achievement by the Flutter folks. I have no love for what Android has b

Adobe Flex was my most productive client development experience over the past 20 years. I transitioned to Android _but_ there were many hideous things with that (e.g. ghastly emulator, legacy Java support etc.). My personal hope is that Fl

I have been developing Android apps since the beginning, although I have cut back my time on Android largely because it is a filthy experience. How many times have we mashed the feedback button and still end up with a terrible emulator? A

Having just manually enabled DoH, it is pretty tricky to see that DoH is enabled (e.g. from padlock/shield). In the end I saw the necessary flags from: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/mozilla-e

Thanks - I can see that. I am guessing that the smaller vocabulary is particularly useful in analogue systems. Perhaps W3W is viewed positively for (digital) cellular connections but might be inappropriate for other radio technology.

as a mobile dev, I have been considering this with some UX folks. Few things going for AI/ML - conversation interfaces should be far cheaper/quicker to produce in comparison to traditional app development. Furthermore, talking a

Totally agree. There is massive confusion in the space...the tooling appears hard to maintain and often unloved. There is a whole push to get Android devs using Kotlin...I'd love to know the stats on actual usage. Personally, I see

root DNS services do not service _every_ lookup _but_ they back delegated authorities, which does scale. Same for blockchain tech.
