I’m playing “Si tu vois ma mère” by Sidney Bechet. Certainly, this should be listened to on a saxophone or at worst on an accordion, but we make do with what we have 🙂 I just can’t understand why the recording sounds somewhat harsh when the live sound from the instrument is much softer. Maybe I haven’t quite figured out Garageband yet. Also, I really need to work on the dynamics, I seriously “cheat” with it during recording. Along with Bistro Fada, both tunes are included in the “Midnight in Paris” soundtrack. And here’s my Bistro Fada ”

Passed the SAP Commerce Cloud 6.7 Developer exam. I already had the v5 certification, but it was long overdue for an update.

Be sure to watch this wonderful lecture about how we make choices, illustrated by choosing spaghetti sauce, and why focus groups don’t work. The whole lecture is in this sauce. And indeed, “a crucial step in understanding our own desires and tastes is realizing that we cannot always explain what we truly want.”

I roam around a small museum in Wilmington. What’s interesting here is that you can leave offline comments on anything. Occasionally, flame wars are thrown onto pieces of paper taped up with duct tape. People are decent, they don’t stick anything on Washington’s forehead.

Chinese. Pakistan. 1300 km. A bunch of tunnels, one 3.5 km long. Some sections – 4700 meters above sea level. Check out the video, especially from the 50-second mark. Seems to cost about a quarter of what the Crimea bridge did.

Together with @[100001772111225:2048:Timofey Klyubin] we integrated VueStorefront with SAP Commerce. It’s a free (!), but very advanced store that has everything except an admin panel and an ecommerce engine. In our solution, its role is performed by SAP Commerce. An interesting feature of the store is that it can operate in a semi-offline mode. That is, the internet goes down, but navigation through the store, the cart, and checkout work almost like with internet. There are also other interesting features, such as Server Side Rendering – a request to the product list via a menu click builds the page dynamically in the browser, while a URL-request builds it on the server. Overall, the advantages are better appreciated by engineers, for the end user it’s just very fast.
I’ve now slightly advanced in Node + VueX, in various Service Workers, and the like. Proud 🙂 Thanks to Timofey, he wrote a converter from Elasticsearch to Hybris, because this store speaks the language of Elasticsearch.

Found a place to practice on a real drum set. My expectations were higher) the snare turned out to be more resonant than I needed, while the hi-hat, on the contrary, was more muted, and too low (it doesn’t go higher). The bass drum – quieter. Additionally, a stupid chair that can’t be adjusted properly. But it’s still cool! I got to play a real drum set! Also fell in love with the Roland TD-25 selling there — just perfect for me: it’s quiet, which is great for an apartment, and sounds cool. But, damn, it’s expensive.

At the 60-second mark, it’s hard to shake off the feeling that it’s not a mobile phone in his right hand, once you think about it.
