Listening to music while coding is like, chocolate and [just about anything]. I don't know about you, but when I'm coding, I have to listen to music. And the type of music depends on the type of coding. Classical for SQL, Metal for C#, Pop for JavaScript, and so on.

When you're in the zone, the last thing you want to do is switch out of Visual Studio, to your music player just to skip to the next song, see what's playing, pause, etc.

If your music service of choice is Spotify, then you're in luck! Stay in the zone and the IDE with today's extensions from Arjan Kuijpers!

SpotifyRemote

Spotify Remote. With SpotifyRemote you can stay inside Visual Studio to manage your music, no need to switch windows. This way we have the best of both worlds, Visual Studio and music.

Small Deep Neural Networks - Their Advantages, and Their Design

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have led to significant improvements to the accuracy of machine-learning applications. For many problems, such as object classification and object detection, DNNs have led to levels of accuracy that are acceptable for commercial applications. In other words, thanks to DNNs, an ever-growing range of ML-enabled applications are now ready to be put into commercial use. However, the next hurdle is that many DNN-enabled applications can only achieve their highest value when they are deployed on smartphones or other small, low-wattage, embedded hardware. When deploying DNNs on embedded hardware, there are a number of reasons why small DNN models (i.e. models with few parameters) are either required or strongly recommended. These reasons include:...
