Agreed. And now we also have edit and continue for .Net while debugging. Another thing, GUI libraries for Winforms like Devexpress are super rich and offer a lot out of the box.

There was a pop hit a decade before that, in 1984 ex Yugoslavia - "your computer's program". It was a mainstream song, not for geeks. 80-ties were the time when computers were very present in mainstream tv and newspapers as a

I didn't play Rocksmith for years, but I think it had some "level" setting for most songs. You'd get fewer notes and simpler chords on the easiest level. That said, I didn't start with Rocmith as an absolute beginne

You're probably right since I never played Guitar Hero. Rocksmith would definitelly be harder since you have to produce clean tones for game to recognize. Correct fretting and picking... But you'll have some real guitar skills whe

You don't know about Rocksmith? Basically, it comes with a guitar to USB cable, you plug in the real thing and play something very similar to Guitar Hero.

My problem was not with Alexa specifically, it was a general feeling of "if software controls both locks and blinds it can lock you not only outside but inside as well". Of course I was immediatelly told that there's a physic

As a developer, I was shocked when at a friend's house saw that Alexa not only operated lights, but door locks and blinds. Or when another friend takes hands off the steering wheel to test lane keep assist. I don't think I can tru

I have no idea how many people consider it, but Samsung made a comitment to offer 4 years of software support, and flagships one year more [1]. Few years ago it was not like that, I don't remember there were official promises and you t

by grujicd 5y ago
Samsung might not be directly motivated to make updates, but it’s now a selling point and consumers care about how many years of updates they’ll get. There’s no way to skip on it without hurting consumer trust and long term brand value.

Google recently flagged downloads of my app as a malware for no reason whatsoever. It's a B2B software used in companies worldwide since 2005, digitally signed, virus checked, not a freeware with some stange business model. Nothing eve

Truth to be told, that touchbar thing on the Mac made many people mad. If you're in tech for some time, you most probably care a lot about tools you work with, especially keyboard, mouse and display. It doesn't mean that these sho

I had no idea that Chernobyl nuclear plant was still operational after the accident, with 3 remaining reactors. The last one was shut down in 2000. Operators were comming there every day for work, nuts! https://en.wikipedia.org&#

On positive note, all other presidents in all other countries in the world suddenly looked more thoughtful and more reasonable while you had your 4 year show.

Talks for EU membership are not going anywhere for two decades. Not much to threaten Serbia with in this regard. I think Serbia's regime prefers this status-quo too, since it's easier to have authoritarian government without pesky

But Serbian president said we won’t impose any sanctions toward Russia. On the other hand, our president is not to be trusted with anything.

Partisans in WW2 Yugoslavia were successful in mountainous parts of country, where you can hide after guerilla actions. Flatlands and big cities were liberated only when Red Army came along on its way to Berlin. We’re not talking about figh

Also, if you try to leave as military able men you’re in danger from both sides. One considering you a threat, the other a traitor and deserter, even if you’re just a civilian. Very bad place to be with no good options.

Significantly increasing performance is one of the most rewarding tasks in software development, comparable only to deleting unused code. At least for me. However, for most business applications, it doesn’t bring much value. Modern hardware

Yup. There was an Otpor (resistance) movement in Serbia which helped overturn Milosevic at the end of 90-ties. It was later found out it was assisted by several US agencies. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otpor Its go

Frankly, I don't know. I'm just sharing my experience and opinion that sanctions don't help. It's quite possible that there's nothing at all that can be done right now, apart from humanitarian help. No matter how mu

Most sanctions have inverse effect of strengthening the authoritharian government. Maybe if you have free press and strong oposition you can use sanctions to turn population against governemnt. However, my experience of suffering under comb

If you’re old time desktop user you wouldn’t have to look for these keys, they’re at the same place for decades. Heck, I even don’t know which combination I’m pressing to go to the begining of page or line, that’s muscle memory at this poin

It’s not good to me since I often use these keys with Ctrl or Shift. Adding Fn to the mix would be too much.
