Yesterday I wrote how AI made big promises in the past but it failed to deliver, but that now it's different. What's changed? Well, now we have several products that work well with machine learning. My favorite example is Google Photos, Synology Moments and PhotoPrism. They

Machine learning is everywhere these days. Mostly in newspapers, but it's seeping into many real life, actual use cases. But what is it actually? If you read only articles on TechCrunch, Forbes, Business Insider or even MIT Technology Review, you'd think it's something that

A couple of years ago I was working on a calendar application, on the machine learning team, to make it smarter. We had many great ideas, one of them being that once you indicated you wanted to meet with a group of people, the app would automatically suggest you a

Multiple cursors are a feature that has been around for several years. I have heard of it first from SublimeText fans, but I always thought I don't need it. At the time, I was a huge Vim fan and I thought I could get away with crafting fancy

More than a year ago I described how I used Syncthing to backup folders from my NAS to an external harddrive attached to my parents PC. This was supposed to be my offline backup. Unfortunately, it didn't prove to be a very reliable solution. The PC ran Windows,

After many delays, the movie Tenet has finally come to the cinema. It's amazing. I loved every single bit of it. Almost 2.5 hours of pure awesomeness. #christopernolan4president This is what a good movie is supposed to be like. Go on, go see it. The rest of

Fun fact about me: until this year, I've never been to the Black Sea for touristy, sun bathing and relaxing purposes. I've been there 3 times before: the first time in an April, for a Math Olympiad, when it was cold, the second time in a

I have to admit that I haven't seen too much of my home country. I've set foot in at most half of the counties and I've actually visited and done touristy things in even fewer of them. I've visited more countries than

Last weekend I played a fun game called Azul, which has won many awards, among which the famed Spiel des Jahres in 2018. The name comes from "azulejos", Portuguese tiles made by the Moors. A portugese king fell in love with them and tasks the players with making
