Examining How Brain Computer Interfaces Will Shape the Future
We are not strangers to the unprecedented ways that new technological devices can reshape society. In the last decade, we have witnessed how things like smart phones and social media have dramatically altered how we, as humans, interact.
One of the major technological advances that will likely continue to shape our human interactions is brain computer interface (BCI) technology. In this post, I am going to delve into the history of the BCI and look at some of the current developments happening in the realm of BCI technology.
Textiles and Tech Styles – How Textiles Influence High Tech
It may seem strange to bring up textiles when discussing computer programming. However, my interest in the correlation between the two was piqued last week when my friend sent me a question currently circulating on the internet: Is it possible to knit DOOM? Thinking about this question led me to consider the immense influence that the textile industry has had on computer science and modern technology.
Using Intents to Create Transitions in Android Applications
Creating a successful application isn’t just about ensuring that all of the components work; the layout and design of the application are also crucial. The design must be professional and engaging, and the layout should be easy for users to navigate. Design components, such as animations and navigation transitions, can also enhance the usability of the application.
An Introduction to GPT-3
When you think about the future of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, it’s likely that you don’t think of auto-completion. However, you probably should. In July 2020, OpenAI released a beta testing version of GPT-3, a new auto-completion program that could very likely define the next decade of AI programming.
Defining Talent in UX Design
There have been countless books written on talent, we know talent when we see it, and we can sense talent in people around us. While most of us have a fundamental understanding of what the word “talent” means, most of us would have a hard time clearly defining it.
My Virtual Baby Shower: Creating Intimate Events in a Virtual Space
Since COVID-19 began, all of us have been looking for good alternatives to our traditional in-person get-togethers with family and friends. In this post, I’m going to be talking about my most recent side project creating a virtual baby shower.
Optimizing User Flow Test Automation with QA IDs
User flow testing, also known as workflow testing, analyzes how an application is performing from the standpoint of the user. In this post, I am going to talk about some of the challenges with automating these types of tests and how we’ve addressed these challenges on several recent projects.
Understanding PDF Generation with Headless Chrome
Headless browsers are currently gaining popularity as an efficient way to test web applications because they do not affect the user interface. In this post, I am going to discuss the benefits of Headless Chrome and two approaches for using Headless Chrome to automatically create PDF reports.
The Uncertain Future of Moore’s Law
In 1965, Gordon Moore, CEO and co-founder of Intel, made a prediction that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit (the main component on a computer chip) would double every two years for at least the next decade. This prediction, known today as Moore’s Law, has continued to be fulfilled since 1965. While it is known as Moore’s Law, Gordon Moore’s prediction is not truly a law; rather, it is a trend that chipmakers around the world have been encouraged to match via technological advancements, research, and development.
