Would you mind sending me an email (address in profile)? I'd love to pick your brain about some of the trickier ones I'm running into.
Do you happen to have links to any good documentation/articles on this topic? I'm working on what amounts to a dark theme for Win32 controls and largely making it up as I go along, relying on tidbits and off-hand…
My experience also. This is particularly bad in the SQL Server space, since Microsoft essentially dropped source control integration in SQL Server Management Studio 2016 and later (there's an official workaround[0], but…
I've been filling a tiny gap in Microsoft tooling with https://www.versionsql.com/ It's something that seemed small and simple to implement, but has filled a not-insignificant portion of nights and weekends for over six…
Today Google popped up a little survey in the corner of my account page, with questions like "I trust Google to keep my data private", "It's easy to find out what data Google has on me", that sort. Answers were…
This one suggests so: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2016/05/26/055... Released as a partial report last year; a quick search didn't find if it had been completed yet or not.
Check out NaNoGenMo [1], a yearly challenge to write computer-generated novels. Each year gets 100-200 entries (see the GitHub Issues tab) using various techniques. The resource links are treasure troves as well. Other…
FWIW I have the 6290 (2016 model) and haven't run into any annoying misfeatures. Crisp and smooth at 60Hz, UHD color mode. Was stuck at 30Hz and perceptibly laggy until I forced it to 4:4:4 in the nVidia control panel.…
Earlier this year (~May) they shut down their API endpoint that rendered handy little stock chart images with a surprising amount of useful features. Any alternatives out there, other than tying together a charting lib…
The only killer use case I've encountered so far is being able to yell "hey Cortana! Next track!" across the room while playing with a toddler, since either walking over to push a button or pulling my smartphone out to…
Several mirrorless and pro compacts at least have focus peaking built in. Not perfect, but something that can be worked with.
Mine are in a bookmark folder. Middle-clicking the folder opens all of its contents in new tabs.
"Value must be 10 characters or less"
Primarily video game soundtracks. They're made to play in the background while you perform tasks and come in all sorts of moods / intensity levels. Favorites: - FTL - Crypt of the Necrodancer - Shatter - Skyrim - Deus…
AFAIK they only run the DMCA checksum when the file/folder is shared. Keeping it inside your own account is OK.
You might be interested in "Code Katas" - small, targeted programming exercises. Check out codewars.com, codekata.com, codekatas.org, etc. Also check out ACM Competitive Programming problems [0]. They're small projects,…
Two that I listen to every week are Giant Robots and Startups for the Rest of Us - they have a lot of broadly-applicable startup info, but are also primarily focused on SaaS. I wish there were podcasts on…
KeePass with the KeeFox and chromeIPass browser extensions. Synced in dropbox, using password+keyfiles that aren't in the cloud anywhere. A bit slow on mobile, but can adjust down the rounds of encryption if it gets too…
Jabber here too. Works decently well, except they run URLDecode four times on all messages. Makes chatting about URL encoding errors very difficult.
> DeepStack becomes the first computer program to beat professional poker players in heads-up no-limit Texas hold'em Whether any others have been made before now is anyone's guess. Botting is a known problem in online…
Worth noting that the limits are different between Roth IRAs and Traditional IRAs, though, if you have a retirement plan at work. A married couple making between 119k and 186k wouldn't get any deduction for the trad…
Hopefully will be able to drop ColdFusion and Flash. Have a legacy site using those that I'm working to replace. Too many security concerns with both (surely made worse by the spaghetti mess the code's in), and Flash is…
Commodore 64 M.U.L.E, Frogger, Q*bert, Commando, Royal Rescue, ...
For me, yes. Has to be instrumental, though, or I can't think. Faster beat to grind through mapped-out tasks or for a final push at the end of the day. Downtempo for thinking through a problem or mapping out tasks.…
As an addendum for #2, discern whether it is just the current phase of the project or cycle in the company that's boring, or if it's everything. Most projects have at least some drudgery that you have to power through.…
