In Zendesk, you get an Halloween pumpkin emoji instead of a thumb up. I always wondered if it was an annoying easter egg or a bug.

Some years ago, I evaluated Protonmail as a replacement for my personal gmail account. When came the steps "can I easily move from this service?", I realized you have to _pay_ to e…

I was also worried about it, but then I learned about the USB-C to jack adapter cable. Look on your favourite shopping website. That should buy us 2 or 3 more years of wired headph…

Same, I have been using snap to run Firefox and Chromium for about more than a year (personal usage, not professional), and rarely had issues. I had one issue regarding a feature l…

No one mentioned video games settings? It's a solved problem there, have profiles : "Low", "Medium", "High", "Ultra High". They allow for a quick start, then as the user is more aw…

Good reading ! It would be interesting to have other similar challenges, such as Euler, solved in idiomatic Tensorflow and Pytorch. Also some examples of more complicated state-of-…

In order to understand the ecosystem, I ask myself this question : why did 4chan personally harass Audacity leader, but did nothing about the behavior of freechat leader?

To me, the downside of graph db is the non-standardized query language. I tried Gremlin but it feels like an imperative DSL. Cypher queries are more readable, but are limited to Ne…
