FreeBuds 3 and FreeBuds 3i FreeBuds 3 and FreeBuds 3i are wireless earphones sold by HUAWEI. Since FreeBuds 3i came out after FreeBuds 3, it might seem like the 3i is more powerful, but it feels more like a power-down in features other than noise cancellation. The price also reflects this; as of writing this article, the 3 costs around 20,000 yen on Amazon, while the 3i is around 13,000 yen. This also suggests that more effort was put into making the FreeBuds 3. ...

This year went by fast. It felt like the year ended in the blink of an eye, but just like last year, I want to try looking back on the year. Last year’s reflection is here: Looking Back on the Year and Resolutions for the New Year - AYU MAX What Did I Do?

.NET Conf 2019 Meetup in AICHI This was a local event for “.NET Conf 2019” held on October 5th. I participated this time and gave a lightning talk (LT). Presentation Content Since this was a .NET Core 3.0 event, I thought content related to Core 3 would be better, so I decided to talk about WPF, which was added in .NET Core 3.0. The materials for the presentation I gave are below. ...

My Laptop is Noisy The Razer Blade laptop that arrived at my home late last year is a very welcome presence, as it allows me to use UE4 even at home. However, I had been troubled by the loudness of its fan for some time. At home, I use an Oculus Rift for VR development, and the fan noise when starting Oculus is intense. However, I can tolerate that because I understand the load is high. But even when doing nothing, the fan occasionally spins at high speed when a single external display is connected. ...

Keyboard Craving Since the end of last year, my craving for a keyboard had been growing, and after agonizing over what to do for a long time, I finally made a purchase. 買ってしまった。 買う前はAll 30gにしようと思ってたけど、なんか軽すぎる感じがしたので45gのやつに。 やっぱり触ってから買うようにしてよかった。#realforce pic.twitter.com/giz3G0Weva — ayuma (@ayuma_x) February 10, 2019 The Trigger It all started last year when my development environment PC at work was replaced, and the keyboard became a REALFORCE. The one at work is probably the one below, which can be purchased together with a Mouse Computer PC. ...

Happy New Year! It’s 2019, and it feels like about a year has passed quickly since I started blogging. Here, I’ll try writing down my reflections on 2018 and my resolutions for 2019. Reflecting on 2018 Month What did I do? January Created a custom Alexa skill Studied basic deep learning theory February Attended a machine learning study group March Technical verification of Unreal.js April May Started designing MDToPPTX Started using Qt Bought an Oculus Go June Completed the initial version of MDToPPTX July Started creating the MDToPPTX editor using Xamarin Forms August First Lightning Talk (LT) Started using F# September Worked on Qt3D October Integrated Unreal.js into a development project November Xamarin App development December Started touching Unity VR project got approved at work Posted one article to the Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) Advent Calendar 2018 Looking back now, this is how it feels. Looking at it this way, I’ve dabbled in many different things. This year, I want to narrow my focus a bit more and develop my strengths. ...

Essential Phone During the Amazon Prime Day sale a little while ago, the Essential Phone (PH-1) was being sold at a super low price on Amazon.com. At that time, I hesitated and the sale ended before I could buy it. This device has acquired the technical conformity mark (Giteki) and supports Android 9 Pie, making its specs very appealing. (Update) Essential Phone on sale for $223.99 on US Amazon Today, while browsing Twitter, I saw information that it was being sold for $279.99. I hesitated, but when I checked again in the evening, the price had dropped to $223.99. Including shipping costs, it comes out to about 30,000 yen, which is incredibly cheap considering the specs. ...

Upgraded to Pro I started this blog at the end of last year and have finally managed to write 10 articles. I’m not very good at keeping up with things that require continuity, so I think I’m doing quite well for myself. To mark this occasion and as a declaration of my intention to “keep writing properly from now on,” I upgraded the blog to the paid version and set up a custom domain. ...

Today, I participated in the Qt Nagoya study group. It was my first time attending last time, so today was my second time. Last time, due to [first time attending] + [first time seeing Qt (excuse)] + [setup failures causing many errors], I mostly just panicked and it ended. So today, I decided what I wanted to achieve and participated. The result of the day is this. 今日のQt勉強会で作ったソフト。 C++使った開発環境でこんなにスムーズに作れるとは感動した。Qt Quickすげー。 pic.twitter.com/UpbV1nQKXx — ayuma (@ayuma_x) June 16, 2018 By the way, the image shown in the video is borrowed from ImageNet. ...

Why I Started This Blog I’ve been working as a programmer for quite a while now, but looking back, I haven’t really shared much information with the outside world. In 2018, I want to start sharing more by posting on my blog and Qiita. I’d also like to participate in study groups and meetups. Motivation Recently, I’ve realized that I’ve spent most of my time in a closed environment, rarely interacting with other engineers. I now feel that it’s important to connect with people outside my usual circles. Doing the same kind of work for a long time has made me feel a bit stagnant. ...
