1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

Most recently, I spoke to my banking provider. I needed his help in changing the card limit. The chatbot helped me a lot, but it blocked my card at the end of the conversation. I think it happened because it didn't recognize my command. But it turns out that instead of helping, I unblocked the card for another 20 minutes. So I began to think about how long it will be released software with bugs that are not tested beforehand. And I also wondered if AI could change the financial sector for the better?

Banks exist for one purpose: to prevent people having any access to their own money, and where this cannot be prevented by legal means delaying such access as long as physically possible.
Once you understand all the ramifications of this, much of what they do - including apparent bugs in the software - begins to make sense.
The application of artificial intelligence - indeed any intelligence at all - to the financial sector would interrupt the flow of old boys networking, insider trading, and embezzlement that is the mainstay of the whole system and will thus be managed to be as ineffective as possible.

I am attempting to migrate some of our custom-created in-house software to the cloud. I've done the basic research, but have yet to put the pieces together to form a simple basic task that truly employs something that is cloud-based. Can anyone point me to a suitable resource? I'm pretty intelligent, and understand the general concept of cloud computing, but need to know the nuts and bolts. Thanks in advance.

The nightmare begins. Containers. Docker instances. AWS. Azure. Goofy names for things. AWS documentation hell. Security issues. Performance issues. AWS Lambda vs. Azure Functions vs. Google Cloud Functions. Monitoring cost. Updating the cloud with new releases. And on and on and on.
So the real question is, why?

Why indeed! Simple answer is that the government is forcing us to do so. I have fought them with logic and disputed their reasoning for 3 years now and it's like talking to a wall. We either comply or they don't allow our software to handle the inspection data that we generate, which they lay claim to (although even that is disputable IMO). Long story short - I don't exactly want to because what we have works great, but we have to at least look like we're progressing toward that end.

It depends on what you have. For example, if you want to move an IIS website then you could go to an App Service in Azure. If you want to move a SQL db (or others) to the cloud you want Azure Sql.
Windows Services have lots of options.
So, depends on what exactly you are doing.

We currently have multiple software packages programmed in C# and use multiple SQL databases. I don't have a preference to AWS, Azure, or any other platform yet. Sounds to me if I understand you correctly, that Azure is going to be our best option. The big obstacle right now is that some of our software receives external input from devices connected to a computer (weight scales). Moving to a browser-based interface is presenting significant challenges to us because we operate under governmental security guidelines (FISMA, etc.)

Again, it depends on if they are windows app, console app, web sites, windows services, etc.

If you have .Net programs you likely have .Net developers and so the learning curve for them to get into the cloud will be easier to stay with Microsoft, hence Azure.

Thanks. We are indeed using .NET so I agree that Azure is going to be the obvious choice. We currently are wanting to move toward a browser based interface to help support the cloud efforts.
We currently have plans in place to move to .NET5 later this year, so we'll focus our efforts on getting familiar with Azure as our cloud platform.
Thanks for the helpful feedback!

Finntroll - Forsen[^]
The Finish troll metalheads are back!
Their last album was released in 2013 and their newest album was released today.
Personally, I stopped following them after Ur Jordens Djup from 2007 though, so I didn't know that until I read an interview about their new album 
I'm glad to hear not much has changed.
The new album sounds like Finntroll should sound, blackened folk metal.
This song was their second single for the new album and I've been listening to it for a few weeks already.
Listening to the album now and I can say this one is going to blast through my speakers more often

I can't seem to get into the vocals. Even on the other tracks I explored, the music is great, but the vocals sometimes feel out of place. Maybe it's supposed to be that way?
Ormfolk stood out, but an instrumental version would be more suitable for my taste.
Still, thanks for sharing. Exploring new genres of music is enjoyable.
