One thing that’s different today is authentication options. Modern APIs (eg WebAuthn), Oauth, passkeys, WebID… Also password managers were not as ubiquitous as they are today. I th…

Thank you! That IBM project is pretty cool, too! I was surprised how well the AI is at guessing!

https://wordhazard.net/ "Heads Up" but online and in multiple languages at the same time, e.g. even if an English word is up to be guessed, you can enter the equivalent word in Spa…

I thought the same and rewrote this in JavaScript running on the client only https://bunkerbewohner.github.io/js-up-goer-five/

Your comment just motivated me to write another blog article about something recent I've learned. Thanks ^_^ My last post had already been more than a year old :O

No, sadly I do not.

Has been down for me in Berlin, Germany, for an hour or so. Trying to log in via web gives me this error: Method: auth.sendCode Result: {"_":"rpc_error","error_code":420,"error_mes…

I am generally in favour of this idea, though it's a difficult topic. I found this discussion interesting, which brings up several pros and cons: https://www.kialo.com/should-devel…

Based on what I've seen source code is almost exclusively English, apart from a few identifiers here and there that are hard to translate, e.g. legal terms.

Oh the poor people who try to learn German by reading Kafka. I'm not sure literature in general is suitable for learning a language that you don't already have a tight grip on. May…

It's certainly interesting in theory. But in practice, how do you distinguish between a bookshop, library, office and desk when all of those things can be referred to by "maktab"? …

To be fair the native iOS development with Xcode (10) isn't much better. My builds unpredictably fail for no reason at least once a day. Sometimes I have to build three times befor…

We use the desktop client and our group often has problems with words being dropped not only at the end but also in the middle of someone talking if they're using voice activation.…

Personally I'm extremely happy with the vim plugin in Jetbrains IDEs like IDEA, Rider and so on. It gives me the best of both worlds. I can use vim commands for effective navigatio…

There are programs with shorter rest times between sets, e.g. German Volume Training (60 to 90 secs). And you can do dumbell bench press without a spotter. But I totally agree, mor…

Skipping through the specification RAML seems to be a good deal more "powerful" than Swagger. I have run into the limitations of Swagger and its tooling several times already, so I…

Performance surely depends on the application. In my personal experience, a rather complex JS application I'm working on consistently (tested on Windows, Linux and Android) runs si…

You and me, both! I've been waiting so long that in the mean time I have started developing my mobile, civ-like game on https://nationsonline.net . But I'm not a professional game …

This is brilliant! The first three features, i.e. --allowJs, --reactNamespace, and stateless functional componentshave been precisely the things that I have been missing recently. …
