In Part I of this two-part series, we talked about why governments should go agile. But, going agile is not as simple as switching over to another project management tool or having daily stand-up meetings. Agile is a cultural change that needs to be included from the moment governments start thinking about undertaking a technology project.

This has bit me I think every single time I make a SystemD launch script using ruby and rbenv (RVM is worse; imho). Perhaps writing it down for once makes the lesson stick. Let's start with our SystemD unit file that doesn't work: [Unit] Description=Twitter To Kafka [Service] SyslogIdentifier=twitter_to_kafka User=ubuntu PIDFile=/home/ubuntu/twitter_to_kafka/twitter_to_kafka.pid WorkingDirectory=/home/ubuntu/twitter_to_kafka ExecStart=....

If you have an existing Codename One app that uses the designer for its theme, then you may have been reluctant to try to migrate it to CSS. Codename One projects are assumed to be using either CSS or the designer for their themes. But not both at the same time.

This is such a cool idea: Denis Shiryaev used Gigapixel AI’s neural network to upscale a classif video from 1896 into 4k; as Timothy Bee points out , a similar approach could then add color. One of my long-term projects involves making the small part of the internet I use every day available offline. As I lean toward a more nomadic lifestyle, I may not always have ready access to the familiar shows I stream on Netflix, for example, o....

I’m a FreeBSD guy. My first computer was a FreeBSD machine that my dad had running in a closet. I learned how to use Emacs as well as the command line on that black-screen white-text no-mouse interface. That’s how real programmers spend their childhood! 😎 😜 I’ve only heard good things about FreeBSD. While not known as particularly desktop-friendly (various Linux distros win here) I’ve heard tales of its rock-solid stability. I wanted to t....

As running Oracle databases as (partially) managed services in the cloud has become quite popular, I thought to start a little series about troubleshooting Oracle (performance) stuff when not having OS access. This will help with such cloud services, but also in cases where your team just doesn’t have convenient OS access due to some separation of privileges reasons. The first example is my schedlat.sql script that uses X$KSO_SCHED_DELA..
