A few minutes ago, I’ve been reading an article about Valve releasing the new Big Picture Mode for Steam (beta). As you probably know, Valve’s porting Steam and the Source engine to Linux and there have been many assumptions about why Valve is doing this. Is it because of Windows 8 and its marketplace? Or is it just about expanding to other platforms? Now there have been many rumors about Valve working on a Steam console.

Running a for-loop over a Jinja2 dictionary At the time of this posting, iterating over dictionaries inside a Jinja template is poorly documented, especially if you need access to the jinja dictionary keys and it's something I end up doing alot. Of course running a for-loop over a jinja dictionary is as basic an activity as you're likely to do, for whatever reason it's buried in the Jinja2 documentation. I see thousands of people trying to ..

Everyone pretend this blog didn't die for six months, okay? Okay. Here's a brain-dump of random things I've learned while not blogging. Distributed programming is tough but really, really fun. gevent , Couchbase , Fabric , and pyzmq are awesome. Django's admin interface can be twisted fairly easily into a CMS for a dynamic website . Bed bugs + week-long power outage + another week with still-broken A/C = fun summer. Leaky washing ma....

Once you have set up your Raspberry Pi chances are that you want to access it from remote machine or host a little web site on it. The problem is that your provider usually gives you a dynamic IP, which changes every time you connect to the Internet. In Germany most (A|V)DSL provider reset your connection every 24h. The solution for this is a dynamic DNS (DDNS), which automatically updates the name server in the Domain Name System (DNS).

Just a handy reminder that you can add "arbitrary" commands to your node NPM modules without creating binaries.

Copenhagen has been the last stop of the current Create.js tour. In here we’ve been integrating VIE and Create into TYPO3 Phoenix , the next major version of this popular CMS. As usual, this collaboration has ended up in some new features in the libraries. The major one of these is more flexible collection handling. In previous Create.js versions, collection handling was pretty simplistic. Essentially you could only add a single ty....

Well, it’s done. My final confirmation was positive feedback from /r/gamedev as they were the ones who criticised the heck out of the game before (nicely and constructively; thanks Reddit!) and this time everyone there said it was actually…you know… fun and stuff. I don’t expect to actually win anything because there are already great games submitted and I can already imagine (and have seen some screenshots of) the totally mind-blowing stu..

Hello all fellow Oracle geeks and technology enthusiasts! Long time no see ;-) In the hacking session about Oracle full table scans and direct path reads I explained how the direct path read decision is not done by the optimizer, but instead during every execution, separately for every single segment (partition) scanned in the query. I also explained how the _small_table_threshold parameter and the X$KCBOQH.NUM_BUF (which keeps track..

Updated: 2016-04-14 So let's talk about managing runtimes and interpreters for projects and applications. This post comes about after I have seen a vast jungle of non-solutions and dead ends out there for managing installations of interpreters such as Python, Ruby, node.js, etc. First, let's clear the air of a bunch of nonesense you may find out there that makes this problem confusing. Never use the interpreter provided by your operatin....

My game for Js13kGames is finally complete. Well, complete in the sense that I’m just about ready to submit it, not in the sense that it’s actually submitted because I’m going to get you guys to be my lab rats (hopefully) and give me some feedback (especially on bugs and performance. That would be great).

I’ve been getting into arcade games pretty heavily this year, and my posts have reflected this for sure ;-) Today’s post is actually a request from John Spitz, who emailed me after reading some of my other video game posts - he wanted to know if there was a typical progression in the types of hardware used in arcade games over the years. The short answer is “yes” as you can see in the diagram I made at the top of this post.
