This is my second Pastry Box Project post: on why working with other people makes projects more rewarding.

A while back Google announced that starting in August 2018 they will no longer accept applications targeting API levels below 26. With that in mind we plan to migrate our builds to use API level 27 which brings with it a lot of great new features but will probably break some things as we go through the migration. Please read this post carefully, I’ll try to cover everything.

Maintaining an open source project – even a small one – is not an easy task. The open source ecosystem is about sharing and contributing, about giving and receiving. You scratch my back and I will scratch yours. Open-source is not only a free and open software, it’s a lifestyle. Working with open-source is working … Continue reading Open-source is about sharing and giving back. Think about that.

One challenge engineering teams often face is dealing with work that doesn’t revolve around developing new features but that still requires the team’s attention and time. The Content Engineering Team here at SoundCloud is no exception, so we iterated on a process to deal with unplanned and support tasks to end up with fewer interruptions and more time to spend on implementing planned features.

A while back a question was asked on stack overflow How do you uninstall an extension using the CodenameOne Settings tool in NetBeans? Unfortunately this isn’t automatic due to the way cn1libs are implemented. In some cases you need to uninstall a cn1lib if you no longer need its functionality and this is far from seamless. These are the steps you need to take: Remove the files with the name of the extension (the .cn1lib and the ...

Tai-Danae Bradley is one of the hosts of PBS Infinite Series, a delightful series of vignettes into fun parts of math. The video below is about the same of SET, a favorite among mathematicians. Specifically, Tai-Danae explains how SET cards lie in (using more technical jargon) a vector space over a finite field, and that valid sets correspond to lines. If you don’t immediately know how this would work, watch the video.

Score: 4.5 / 5 Paul Graham and his editor(s) are excellent. His prose is light and easy to follow. The only awkward component of the book's organization is that he tends to use a concept one section before explicitly introducing and defining that concept. I'm not sure yet if this is a good or bad thing. As a learning resource Among books recommended to potential Lispers, ANSI Common Lisp is typically written off. Graham's style of Lisp i....

One pattern I’ve used quite a lot while working with React at the BBC and Discovery Channel is the Data Container pattern. It became popular in the last couple of years thanks to libraries like Redux and Komposer. The idea is simple. When you build UI components in React you feed data into them via […]

Interest in deep learning is growing and growing and, with it at peak hype right now, a lot of people are looking to find the best deep learning library to build their new app or bring their company into the modern age. There are many deep learning toolkits to choose from ranging from the long used, supported, and robust academic libraries to the new state-of-the-art, industry backed platforms. At Curalate, we’ve been working on dee....

In my time at as a software engineer I’ve seen teams and groups succeed and fail, grow or be re-organized. One of the things that team durable and stable over time, and helped them execute and deliver was have a clear set of metrics to optimize. Optimizing metrics is easy. No, really, it is. I believe that having clear, well defined metrics is the single largest driver of progress within a company. When a team owns their metrics, they c....

You should always partition disks rather than using the disk itself. Different manufacturers and models can have very slightly different capacities. So if you try to replace a 4TB WD drive with (say) a 4TB Hitachi, you may find you can't add it to the array. Creating a partition of a set size tends to address this, though on slightly larger disks it may leave a few bytes unused After any changes, remember to skip down to the bottom and ..

Introduction I’ve been seeing a lot of question about interfaces lately on Slack. Most of the time the answers are technical and focus on implementation details. Implementation is important to help with debugging, but implementation doesn’t help with design. When it comes to designing code with interfaces, behavior has to be the main focus. In this post, I hope to provide a different way to think about interfaces and how to design code w..

Artificial intelligence is everywhere: it promises to power fleets of self-driving vehicles, open up endless new business opportunities and even be the key to global power. Amid all the bluster it’s easy to lose sight of the genuine opportunity AI provides.

I’ve really been enjoying my reMarkable tablet the past several months. (I wrote a short review last year if you care to see a few more details). One of the biggest gripes I have about the device is that it can be a pain to get documents on it. There’s currently no web app so the only choice is desktop apps for Windows and macOS or a mobile app for Android. Once I saw someone had released a reMarkable API on GitHub, I knew I would hav....

One thing that has always annoyed me about the Internet surrounds the history and evolution of UNIX-based operating systems. If you Google “UNIX timeline”, you’ll get a bunch of different results that are either incomplete, incorrect, complicated to the point where it’s unreadable, or a combination of all of these things. So this blog post aims to rectify this! Here are some important things to note about UNIX in general and each of..

Context I recently switched to using an X1 Carbon (2nd Gen) with Lubuntu 16.04 LTS as my main work machine. I’d been wanting to do this for a while, but now circumstances are such that I HAD to. It’s working out well so far. Everything worked out of the box. Installation was a breeze with a live USB. I did have trouble booting with a USB created on OSX, but that’s another post.

Imagine playing a game of rapid chess simultaneously with several players (a simul). If that’s not intimidating enough, imagine that the rules are in constant flux and new players can join the simul without any warning. This is similar to some of the experiences that business leaders go through today.

Many of us have known how great Postgres was for years . In fact I recall a conversation with some sales engineers about 6 years ago that previously worked for a large database vendor that really no one likes down in Redwood City. They were remarking how the biggest threat to them was Postgres. At first they were able to just brush it off saying it was open source and no real database could be open source. Then as they dug in they rea....
